Ahh Gone in sixty seconds 2, the movie that never was. Haliky died in that movie for real. The water tower fell off cue and he was in the way apprently. Really a shame, the movie has loads of Camaro, early 80's Stangs, and tbirds. of course they all got destroyed seeing as haliky was the "Car crash king" of the day.

Of course not!!!! i found some cheap police lights while surfin last night,.... the thought crossed my mind before i saw this post!!! But i dont know how local law enforcement would appreciate me "impersonating a police officer.." and yes, we cant even have blacked out lights up here because "only police are allowed to have different color headlamps and taillapms......... So nobody move up here!!! it blows!!!!!

As I said before, those are clips from the "sequal" that never happened because the director died on set during taping.

Gone in 60 seconds (the real one , not that Nicholas Cage ) had a second part. It was named "The Junkman" and was made in 1982.

I was a movie house manager at the time and I remember being sent to manage a theater in Westminister, CA and so I saw that movie over and over.

Had a yellow 80-81 Corvette as the star car.

Yes the star was killed in July 1989 when that water tower fell....he was 49.

I still love to watch that 45 minute car chase in the 1973 original movie.:D

Yes some of the car rags of the day were all hyped up on the shooting of the sequel, was really a let down when I read HB had been killed by the freak falling of that water tower(it was supposed to fall, just not when it did)... What actually killed him was a cable supporting the tower that struck him when it snapped... 

Guessing Junkman may be hard to find in DVD format...

I've only ever seen bits and pieces. Never the whole thing. Would be interesting to locate a copy

Go to amazon.com
My stepson got my copy of Junkman off of there for a Christmas present. You can also buy the whole series.
The only problem I see is that Denise Haliki (HB's wife) re-did those movies (including the original) and put a different soundtrack onto them. My guess is so she would not have to pay royalties....

Luckily, I still have a VHS tape of the original '73 movie equipped with the original music. :D
