Good movie but this scene nothing close to reality. Jan did crash into the back of a gardners truck but it was on a residential street in Bel Air called Whittier Dr., and there were no other cars on the road. He simply punched it and got squirrly. Also his Vett was a color called Mospert Green ... not Nassau Blue like the one in this clip.
Almost the entire movie was inaccurate . Jan Berry was very upset with the scene where he is driving with Dean on a skateboard behind a car and he speeds up when Deans yells at him to slow down and stop. He stated he would never put his friend at risk and was livid they presented it as fact
Remembered watch’n this movie, when I was 11…It left an “indelible mark” on me, cause I had the original “Batman album” with alot of Jan & Dean’s songs on it & listened to it ad nauseam @ that age!! Wished I still had that album!!! 😩
Oh well who the hell told him to be driving that f**cking fast in the first place.. Same thing with Jane Mansfield's driver of the 1966 Buick Electra was doing 80 miles an hour when he lost control of the car and killed himself, her and another front seat passenger..
I remember the newspaper picture of a Corvette that slid sideways on a curve into a utility pole. The passenger compartment hit the pole and it cut the car completely in half. Two young men were killed immediately. Happened on Hwy 7 South at Hot Springs, AR. Probably late 60s? or early 70s? Estimated speed was 120mph.
What's up little Walt? I hardly ever look at this email. Sorry for the late reply. Your dad and I were best friends back in the day. We still are. Glad to hear from you!

LOVE Richard Hatch!!!! RIP 🕊️
Drafted then he got shafted...
The reality of the entire situation is that you don't get to appeal the laws of physics. No judge, no jury just F=MA.
I was 10 or 11 when I saw this movie. It made me a fan of Jan and Dean for life.
Wasn't that in the script ?
Good riddance asshole
I spotted a couple of bloopers myself and I did spot that Adidas tennis shoe blooper.

Polyglass boom
I was 11 months old.
Damn was that Atlanta
I remember this TV movie in the 70's.
Was that dead man's curve?
This was a very highly rated TV Movie and the first one about rock stars
Totally agree 👍
Wow, superb picture qualty with that 240p effort.
Looks more like 2.4p to me.
If that doesn;t make you tear up, there;s something wrong with you.
Thats what usually happens when a rich kid buy's a hot rod new toy lets see how fast it is
I seen them in the late 80’s at the national street rod nationals in st.paul Minnesota at the fair ground. They put on a great show
Watching it on the I phone have tears in my eyes❤
They should be inducted in rock and roll hall of fame.
They would fit right in with todays "artists". They all lip sync now
I was born in 1959 and I never heard of these guys. They sound just like The Beach Boys
Richard Hatch and Bruce Davison, both played in the remake of Battlestar Galactica.
I only wish thayd found s man wth same hair color that Jan had an the actor singer wuld look more like Jan,,the guy portraying Dean lookt purty close
Great

this made me cry ,brought chills to me ,absolutely beautiful
The crash occurred literally near Beverly Hills, not some remote mountain canyon as depicted here.
that parked truck was illegal according to a documemtary and i wish i videotaped the other documetntaries i saw
I got this movie on vhf great move RIPJan berry😢
Hope Oakland sideshowers never see this.
Dead man’s curve
It looked like it was filmed on Mulholland or in Santa Clarita area. Sunset is a four lane street with lights, houses, and commercial property
I have thought about this very scene from time to time ever since I saw it as a kid. Odd that it shows up here.
Richard Hatch made this the same time as doing Battlestar galactica
2:15
This happen this way cause this is how God wanted Jan to come back to God"plans for Jan.
I am Walt Mocks son
