Top 10 WTF Vehicle Moments on Screen 

The building to building jump in "Furious 7" was first done in "Black Moon Rising" from 1986. The stunt driver who drove the Bluesmobile launching out of Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago to hit the police car's emergency lights initially told Dan Ackroyd that he could launch out of the ramp but probably not clear the squad car. Ackroyd told the driver he'd give him $1000 if he could clear the car and hit the lights. Sure enough...

Pretty sure that Chuck Norris scene was 100% real. Because it's Chuck Norris.

Christine...my favorite car movie of all time. 1950s Detroit Steel will always look like works of art!

Gotta mention the Wraith when talking about car movies. The Wraith and Christine, 2 of my favorites.

In a scene cut from the original movie (but available as an "extra" in some special edition DVDs) Elwood parks the "Bluesmobile" in an electrical sub-station near his home. The car's seemingly "special powers" are inferred by whatever special energy it absorbs from the large humming transformers nearby. I think 2 WTF moments missing from the list are the "barrel roll" jump from the 1974 Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun" and the rocket car jump from Burt Reynold's 1978 movie "Hooper"

It's STRANGE!! The way people drive today is similar to the movie: DEATH RACE 2000!

One of the best stunts that showed that some stunts can be done for real was the barge jump in "White Lightening"...Hal Needham created a memorable jump that was not some fantasy stunt.

I've never seen the movie Christine, but the more I see about it, the more I'm glad I read the book instead. It sounds so much more underwhelming as a movie. Reading, the spider crack on the windshield got smaller... is strange. Hearing about Arnie having back pains only to find out he pushed the car and it healed as it was in motion. The shop owner Arnie's been working illegal jobs on the side for, witnessing the car driving into the shop and then inspecting it to see Arnie was never there... To the ungodly way it leveled a house, and pursued the bullies in a Camaro without so much as sliding through the corner... Well, just read the book, it's terrifying and captivating even for a person who doesn't typically read books.

Black Moon Rising; an all but forgotten 1986 film written by John Carpenter (partially), starring Linda Hamilton, Tommy Lee Jones and Richard Jaeckel; in the climatic scene they jump a car from one high rise building to another 30 floors up (and way before Fast & Furious did it). The vehicle was a Canadian concept car and the movie is definitely a child of the 80's but it's a fun popcorn movie and that stunt is cool.

Another great video MFP. And again, through your hard work you are bringing films to the surface that viewers may not of heard of.

Lone Wolf McQuade is one of my favorite Chuck Norris movies aside from the three Missing in Action movies and Code of Silence, both in which he played in

They had 10 Plymouth furies in Christine. 4 were 57s with the big and small headlights. They were all painted Ford red and white. 1 was the clunker Arnie first buys. 3 had the paint schemes so it looked like the car was repainting itself. The wrecked ones in different scenes were used in the scenes where Christine is demolished or hit .Only one was in great condition. The rebuilding scene itself was shot in reverse so it would look like was fixing itself.

I always like what the highway cop, in 'The Blues Brothers' says when he sees them drive through the mall: "It's that shitbox Dodge!"

I never even heard of this #1 WTF scene much less of "Lone Wolf McQuade" ever. To see how silly the unburying of himself in his car was so ridiculous. LMAO! Excellent, well-edited, and entertaining video. Hat's off to you! Peace!

Fun fact. Wet Nelly is still alive and being restored by Elon Musk

The city bus sequence in "The Gauntlet" was pretty WTF. As was the helicopter flying under the bridge in T2, since it was a practical stunt and not CGI.

Really loving this channel. I also want to say that's a great picture of Connery with the Aston. Keep up the great work 👍

Most of these movies are so bad that they're actually good and that's why they're in my DVD collection Edit: the Fast & Furious franchise sucked

What about lethal weapon. Where the dualy rips down the house on stilts

That detour around the elderly patients and into the doctors and nursers was hilarious.

I think it's a crime everyone always misses the car from Condor Man

Props to ya for giving exposure to the Taxi films, most folk swerve it because of their fear of subtitles. The first two are quality, pure escapism, just the right side of daft to carry it off, like a Ronin that doesn't take itself seriously.

The entire chase sequence in the film "Short Time" was filmed in and around Vancouver British Columbia Canada. The section featuring the double decked road, is Front Street in New Westminster. The section of Front used is also know as Antiques Alley and is less than 1/4 mile long, and they made multiple runs from different angles to get it all in. It was interesting to watch from the slight rise across the street.

I still laugh hard at the blues brothers scene you highlight here every time.

THE SHOW ME MOMENT CHRISTINE IS NOT A WTF MOMENT ITS A GREAT MOMENT

Whilst the Lotus is a worthy entry, how could you go past the corkscrew jump in Man with the Golden Gun? Even though its one of the greatest stunts in history I'd still classify it as WTF

I get the weirdest ads nowadays... It was Rexnord lumber mill equipment and Lenco armored trucks today. Also, fun fact: Christine was a 4-door sedan in the book. They couldn't find one exactly like her for the movie, as a lot of Plymouth sedans became police vehicles or taxi cabs, and were used to destruction.

Best car movie: Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry!

58 plymouth fury is me dream car

Cool choices, my favourite is the Taxi film the moped scene near the start.

6:42 I am french and I know the " Taxi " Peugot 406 background well. The 406 was a Supertouring champion Car at that time an won championship all over europe, performed very well in England ( Featured also in first Toca Race games ). The Peugeot was surprising because like in the film it went superior on german competiting cars... Which is unusual ! But since Group B in Rally, Peugeot shown particular skills over german cars in competition. In Taxi, the car as an actual modified Supertouring bodykit with wheels so a genuine racing look ! In the movie it says that the Car is equiped with the V6 that was a very capable engine but with a bit low rpm and low end torque ( more a highway cruising engine capable of towing caravans ) ... But in fact for the highway chases they actually used a real Supertouring model equiped the 1.9L 16v inline 4 Peugeot racing engine that is prepared to achieve more than 300 hp at screaming rpms ! Engine noise in the movies are the genuine one for this engine. So " Taxi " ( especially the first film) is actually a legitimate featuring race car with real power skills !

I just bought a Ramcharger body for my 1/10 scale RC crawler, and I was thinking about painting it like Lone Wolf Mcquade's Ramcharger.

No H.B. Halicki ? Surely an oversight !

wow, a lot of new subscribers... ( o.o) congratz, man!

The black pickup truck that shoots out of the ground in the 1983 movie "Nightmares" was also a memorable scene.

That kit for the Vette was SHARP!!!

About #7, A way better Movie with that scene was, Black Moon Rising (1986). okay in that movie car did not drive out the other side, to it death.

The opening scene from 'the other guys' is another wtf car movie moment

Other WTF car moments from the Bond movies. The barrel roll jump in "The Man With The Golden Gun" wth the AMC Hornet The Renult taxi getting ripped apart yet still continuing the chase in "A View To A Kill" a la Sheriff Justice s car in "Smokey and the Bandit" There was an episode of "Knight Rider" where K I T T was buried and used the turbo boost to dig out. Very similar to "Lone Wolf McQuaid". Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

@2:56 is an Australian 318 Fireball, the US didn't use that name on the LA series V8.

Taxi is a guilty pleasure. Interesting story about the 007 lotus. Lotus wanted to get their cars into a bond film and left a similar esprit outside the office for a week until someone senior noticed it and thought it would be great for bond. You have to mention megaforce with its flying bike too

How did Herbie not make this list

Death Race 2000 Was The First Time A 12 Year Old Saw... Boo Bees ...👍👍

Where is Cobra and To Live and Die in L.A.? They are spectacular scenes. Thank you for the video. Have a great day.

Another great video, keep em coming

I’m relieved to hear that the Ferrari 250 GT in the movie ‘Ferris Bueller’ was actually a replica. Because as a car lover I actually got physically nauseous seeing that beautiful Ferrari being destroyed at the end of the movie.

The French Connection has a hair-raising car scene, too, where Gene Hackett's Popeye Doyle is chasing the train under the elevated rails, somehow narrowly missing a number of cars on the way.

i knew the blues brothers car will made into this list. 😀

For me my biggest WTF moment was not feature movie, but an archive footage from 80's rally: sea of people stands the road, spreads just enough to let the car pass, suddenly all you can hear is deafening sound of non-damped turbocharged engine, car buzzes them so close they could reach and touch it if they wanted to, sound fades away and crowd closes the gap. They looked more like worshippers than fans. Mindblowing scene, and it happened for real!

I loved the fact in The Blues Brothers when it shows the Dodge's speedo at 120mph driving under the bridges it was actually going that fast.

15:47 "As if the concept of physics and gravitation has no meaning". This is Chuck effin Norris we're talking about. Physics and gravity don't dare mess with Chuck. Where have you been narrator???

I didn't know christine had the 350 engine, now I do thank you. Love that movie.

Learn something new every time! Taxi is now at the top of my list!

Merci pour la vidéo ❤❤😅👍

No mention of The Ronin ? surely one of the best car chase scenes where they used RHD cars with fake LHD steering wheels and stunt drivers on the Right hand side out of shot leaving Robert DeNiro and Natascha McElhone to do acting driving on the Left

I have a chatty chitty bang bang toy car from when I was a kid in 60s . Push a button,wings pop out,all pieces are surprisingly still there and in great condition. Also have original Batmobile with the little rockets that shoot out when you press down on suspension.

Never heard of the TAXI movie series...thanks.

The Chrysler LA 360 driven by Chuck Norris gains an extra 450 horsepower just by him sitting in the car!

F&F movies "teeter on the razor's edge of reality" in their car stunts? No, I'd say reality got shaved clean away after the first installment.

I love Death Race 2000

Chuck Norris: "Get me a beer, Ensign from the future."

The movie "The Car", basically the devil in four wheel disguise, should be on this list. Definitely WTF.

12:15 Austin Martin? Lol. Also your pronunciation of Peugeot is yet another new interpretation!

For a future list, you might check out the driving scene from the c. 1990 horror movie "Body Parts" where the passenger in Car A is handcuffed to the driver of Car B. It's insane! The director, Eric Red, has posted it here on youtube.

"Christine" is not a horror movie. It's a love story. Arnie + Christine = Luv 4 ever.

In Short Time the car doesn't change to a Canadian Plymouth Caravelle. It's a Plymouth Grand Fury which were also used as police cars

I remember the Intermission from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, our mom and dad took us to see it in 1969 at the Birmingham Odeon. We were convinced that it was going to crash.

Good movie with allot of original content. Some of my favourite car scenes Mad Max 1 and the caravan crash. Bullet Steve as he accelerates away after the big slide and Cannonball similiar. The Cars that ate Paris for something very different.

Chitty chitty bang bang was a huge part of my childhood

NIGHTMARES segment BENEDICTION a black truck jumps out of the ground LANCE HENRIKSON is in it

Great content. Congrats on inventing a new word too… ‘demolishment’. Try out ‘demolished’. Great films in this list and yes Mad Max would have topped it off and ‘Cannonball Run’ 😀

OK. Show me.

No mention of anything from the Mad Max Frachise?

Strangely didn't make the list but honourable mention should go to at least a couple of scenes from 'The Car', one where it flies through Lauren's house - stunning scene - and the other where the car spins, flips and tumbles over the two police cars, a genuine non-CGI stunt that really does deserve a WTF moment!

Nicely done

Two words...The Car. :D

"Ronin" best car chase scene in a movie - I would think a guy whipping out an RPG would have made a WTF moment but hey your list bud, a good one "The Great Escape" best motorcycle scene in a movie Some other added moments............. I would also include DMX on the 4 wheeler - forget the movie name Sly in Demolition Man 2 great wtf scenes in that movie involving cars. The police chase from the 5th Element. Initial D live action that Evo(3rd gen) wreck, actually that movie was amazing but the entire thing is WTF, give it a watch. Include Death Race with Statham, and some of the transporter movie scenes as well. Swartzy Taxi scene from Total Recall Car chase scene in War the classic Statham car versus Jet Li in a Spyker C8. Deadpool - SUV scene Doomsday - Bentley scenes Mad Max entire racing in all the movies Escape from NY - had some interesting moments including the sequel

I would have included the Car from Batman Begins and the Minis from the first Italian Job film in the list...

I need to catch up on ALL MOVIES in this Video!

nice vid , !!!

KITT FROM KNIGHT RIDER

I don't know if you have ever covered it on this channel, but in the early 2000s, BMW put out a series of short films featuring Clive Owen as a reckless personal driver. They are essentially long commercials, but the driving is very impressive, especially funny is the one directed by Luc Besson with Madonna as a spoiled celebrity getting the ride of her life

DEATH RACE is byfar my Favorite Villain Race movie from the era! I own it and watch it at least 3× a year, great cinematography & cheesey acting puts this movie on Top for me!

12:45 "It's got good pickup."

I'm almost surprised you didn't include the movie Collision Course. No, not the Crocodile Hunter movie, the one with Jay Leno and Pat Morita tearing around in a gold Toyota Tercel hatchback with an experimental turbocharger. Also, Pat Morita jump-kicking the driver of a moving car through the windshield.

I used to work on a 74 Monaco that was supposed to be an original bluesmobile. Had the 360, megaphone speaker on top, and ran and drove but was basically a shitbox. Owner that sucked at being a blues brother claimed it had 634,000 miles. Old hoopty ran pretty good but the guy ran it like a teenager, full throttle leaving a light, just ragged it to death. I live in the myrtle Beach area, this is not the same car on 38th Avenue at the old planet Hollywood, can't remember what its called now. TTldr, used to wrench on supposed bluesmobile 5, it was enough of a shitbox to be a stunt car, have no concrete proof it was a movie car, owner claimed to have a pic of the car with Dan Aykroyd, claimed to have a hat of the same size worn by John bbelushi, car looked authentic, might all be an elaborate story.

Burt Simpson. Totally not named after any 10yr old kid in the middle of the "Bart Era"

The chase scene with Stuntman Mike in the 1971 Dodge Charger and the woman on the hood of the 1970 Dodge Challenger in Death Proof should be here. Also the scene where Stuntman Mike crashes the 1971 Chevy Nova head-on with the Honda Civic and scraping that chicks face off with the tire.

That was Cody not Paul in furious.

You missed the scene at the end of "Harold and Maude" where he sends the customised XKE over a cliff. Very sad.

Some of my top favs Gone in 60 seconds last chase with the mustang Bullit mustang vs Dodge Charger Dual peterbilt Dom’s 70 Charger from the fast and the furious The Wraith Knight Rider KITT

How could you NOT mention the Mall car chase scene in the Blues Brothers?

Austin Martin? Viscounts?

The damage that christine repairs doesn't match the damage caused by the bullies. She looks likes she's structurally unfolding herself, wheres as the bullies didn't 'crush' her, just dented the body work .

That chuck scene was forking epic truly epic !!!!when the blower kicks in holyshit

Just started watching the vid. At #10 RN. Hope Maximum Overdrive makes the list. Heck the Ice Cream truck "My-T Tas-T" and the "Happy Toyz" truck are great. "Happy Toyz" had Green Goblin on the front of the truck. Literally. His face at least.

the james bond lotus submarine was at edinburgh uk i believe it was found in spain, there was a short film where another car drives out of the ground... i cant think of the title its a horror though

Chuck norris kicked his ramcharger. It than had 500 horsepower extra.

@ 3:19 lol Diplomat Salon lol supposed to say saloon not sure how they got those crossed but nonetheless is silly 😜

`Can you save my life?´ `Well basically... no´
