Excellent chase sequence, with even better editing. I like how the Charger completely misses the gas station at the end. Does anyone have an accurate count on how many hub caps the Charger looses?
That movie cemented my affection for the Mustang.

Actually if you look at it they passes the same VW 3 times.

There's also a white '67 mustang they pass 2 or 3 times...it's always sitting on the side of street, except for the first shot, it was almost broadside in an intersection.

Still, for an older film with none of today's effects, it was pretty kick-ass

The part i love the most is when the driver buckles up. Then makes a left turn with the R/T AND ROASTS THE TIRES. Bad A$$ MOVIE

Yes no POSI. I noticed it also. I am thinking they did that on purpose. The R/T came stock with posi i think. Either way its a classic car chase for the books

Also the fast back had loads of wheel hop.

I have read many stories on that chase scene and the cars over the years. The Dodge outpowered the Ford easily in reality. I couldn't care less. I also noticed the hub caps, and other little things, but, best chase ever. I've watched it more times than I can remember. I break out the DVD every once in a while and just watch the chase. On the big TV, it's awesome.

I read somewhere that the charger loses 6 wheel covers.

The Charger's collision with the camera was not scripted.

The scene showing the dark green VW was part of 8 camera positions on the same location.

BTW, I had a 1988 T-Bird Sport way back when. I found out that it was totalled shortly after trading it in. It still has the ignition switch recall to date.

Very NICE Hypostang Very Nice. I still love that CHASE > its CLASSIC AND AW-SUM. And with 2 great cars. Rumor has it that Steve set up the mustang and actually drove it for the cameras. No professional stunt driver. But we all know Steve was a race car driver

They also stated that McQueen also put the dents in it prior to shooting to make the car more "real" as a cops daily driver.
