I still remember going to the Drive In as a kid at 10 yrs old with my parents to see this movie. Parents drove a 70 Super Bee the same color as the Charger. At 50 yrs old I now have a 69 Super Bee the same color. Love this show seen it at least 50 times. Awesome Job showing the locations. Thank You for sharing.
I would like to Thank You for doing this. I was living in Clements at that time I was 15 AND I lived on Clements Road a mile from town. At the 44 mark as the cop pulls around the back of the warehouse on the hill in the background is a trail those are my and Patty's footprints ( she lived at the top of the hill ). This movie preserved some of Clements Thank God. Across HWY 88 from the flea market is a row of houses they are gone now : ( the Fire House is there now. You can see Allen pulling out of his driveway on to HWY 88 in his brown 4wd. A couple of my friends are in the flea market scene. Patty ran to my house telling me that Peter Fonda would put her in the movie if she went and got a friend. I couldn't run that fast so he was gone when we got there ( I think she was being anoying to him and said that so she would leave him alone ) : ) By the time we got there Peter was gone. But I was standing there when Susan George was slapping the crap out of Bo Gentry at the flea market her back was to me it looked painful. Anyway , thought I'd share my story with you and Thank You for taking the time to do a before and after where I spent 10 years of my life. Peace and Love : )
As I was watching the movie, I kept thinking to myself "Man, I bet all those cool old rural scenes of California are all neighborhoods and urban sprawl now." Thanks to your videos, I was very pleasantly surprised to be wrong. Totally blown away that the grocery store was exactly the same, down to the name! Also nice to see that nearly everything else has changed very little in the last 40 years. Most of the rural parts of California that I knew from my childhood are not recognizable now.
Dirty mary crazy Larry was always alive in my fantasies since childhood. Your efforts made me very happy. God bless you. I wish I would have been with you in your dedicated quest for locations.
As I said on clip 1, I saw that movie at 14 years old. For some reason that movie I can watch over and over again. Netflix stopped showing it. Thank you for showing the then and now views. You really did a very nice job and I think you.
Thank you for getting this back on the public board. Your research has very good cultural value. In the 1970's I was in college in San Francisco and my folks were in Southern California. I drove the roads of the Great Central Valley, and came to love this region, and I still do.
Being a train fan, I wasn't expecting that the old Alco of the ST&E was still in existence. I'll have to do some research to see if it still is now in 2013. I'll also have to find this movie on DVD. I really enjoy movies like this from the 70's. They make me nostalgic for all of the things that have changed, a lot of times not for the better, in my lifetime. Thanks again for making and sharing these videos. Thumbs up on both of them.
Thanks for all of your work and efforts putting this together, I truly enjoy seeing the comparison over the years. I just watched a similar video that someone put together for the 1973 movie "Vanishing Point" filmed in Cisco Utah.
Thanks for all of the effort that you put into making these 2 videos. I recorded the movie off of TCM about a week ago and watched it for the first time last night. I was born in '74 and never knew it existed til last week, though I immediately recognized the train crash scene at the end from the starting of the show The Fall Guy. I didn't know that was from a real movie.
Great movie. One of the best car chase movies ever. And made in the town I grew up in with shots of my family's house in the Impala scenes. Flood Rd. and Escalon Bellato. Rd. Thanks for sharing.
I was ten years old when this movie was made and remember the grown ups going out there to watch them make the movie. Clement and Linden are just fifteen minutes from my home, in fact just ten years later I drove my 1970 sassy grassy green 340 duster on all the roads they filmed the movie and just ten years after that I worked in the town of linden ( my office was the old gas station) for six years. All good times and good memories.
Hollywood sure destroyed alot of Chargers! I also saw this flick in the theater back then, and right afterwards we headed out to the local hotspot all pumped up from the movie. Great job in filming this!!!
If I haven't before, I want to thank you again for doing this. I have never been to those locations, but it is interesting to see how things have changed since 1973. I hope the Save Mart is still open. Independent grocers are having a rougher and rougher time these days. I am sure to watch this over again as time permits. Thanks again.
Awesome job! I to have always wanted to do this, and love coming back to watch this clip. Have loved the movie since seeing it as a kid in the 70's, and later becoming a Mopar junky. Still would love to visit the area and locations to this day myself. Driving a Mopar ofcourse.
Part 2 was fantastic as well. Another thing I noticed when I was looking in the threads, seeing locations linked to google maps or what have you, was that in alot of the modern shots, it seems so dry. Yet back in the film shots, not sure what time of year that was, but seems like everything was a whole lot more green. Tempts me to look into the rainfall records data, to see if perhaps back then, they'd had alot more rain preceeding filming or even for a couple of months or years prior to filming
I used to see the dodge hitting the train in the intro to FALL GUY and thought "what movie was that scene from?" Never new the name of the movie till I watched ROADKILL ep58. today. Now I finally feel complete.
Thank you soooo much for posting these. DMCL is one of my favorite films ever. Looks like not that much has changed! Also, I drove a 2010 Dodge Charger for 3 years. The lease just expired. It had the 250-hp V6 engine. It wasn't a '69 R/T (what is?) but it was a fun car and I miss it :(
@silverzhawk, What a ride those vids were! They need to be included in the special features for the DVD of the movie! Very well done and very ENTERTAINING : )
It's kind of cool to go back and look at all the old filming sites especially with this one up in Sonora and over in Linden pretty cool pretty cool movie
My uncle Jack Clayton owned Jack's Garage and tow and had the contract for all towing and storage of all the vehicles in the movie.got to watch of the filming and see the cars.
Seeing this movie as a 8yo In the drive in back in 74 I felt like crying at the end of it! My Das said "Aw boy shut up they aint dead just a movie!" I remember a song that was out back then "Someome knocking at my door somebody ringing the bell! Even though its not in the soundtrack I'm reminded of the movie every time I hear it because it's what Mary said in the movie!
I was able to visit the train/car crash site Aug 2012. Wife took my pic on the spot where it happened; so quiet now in the midst of farm country. It must have been quite a sight on the day this scene was filmed. Thanx to jwramc for taking the time to seek out the locations; both vid's are in my favourites.
Thanks for the awesome compilation of scenes from then and now! Incredible to see some of the changes that have happened over time... And some of the changes that have not happened. Especially at the railroad crossing point with no warning signals! Anybody know if that locomotive was actually the one that they had the car crash into or if it was another one? Also curious to know if that railways is still active or not?. Curious To know the answer if anybody does. Thanks for the trip down memory lane :-)
When I was there in 2010 getting all this video and photos, the railroad "Stockton Terminal & Eastern" was still in business, tho very small. The crossing had been unused for many years by then, so no signals needed. The locomotive I showed in its storage building is definitely the one seen in the film and the one crashed into, #505.
Yes thank you. I was 14 yo and seen it at the hammer ln, drivein. And lived 1/2 mile West of farmingtion on farmingtion rd when I was 3 till 6 yo lived in stocktion Ca, till i was 19 then Lodi till 46yo. These or my old stomping grownds trace, lindon, snora, clements Ca. This is one of my favorite movies as a kid and stele will watch it when i can thank for the mimes. live in Nabraska now miss those times
@Hype679 The crash is not undercranked & the proof is the train. Just before the car hits, the scene is slo-motion, but the car is traveling FASTER than the train. The rear of the car leaps up from the impact. The next shot (looking at the car's right side as train passes) is actual speed. The fire & smoke behave normal, so it isn't sped up. The train is doing around 45mph, the car around 55-60. The explosives were in backseat, not fuel tank. A mortar shattered the back glass. More follows-
@Hype679 That's cool, just trying to keep the known facts ahead of the interpretations that get wildly out of control, quick. But outside the use of slow motion in certain shots, camera speed was 1:1 at all times, so if a car appears to be going 80, it's going 80. No games or 'effects' were used to fake it looking faster.
I saw this movie last night and I loved it. I met a guy (when I worked night desk at a motel) that said the bought himself a railroad caboose and had it set up on his property. So I am sure one could buy that locomotive. It's basically a large diesel generator so you could use it to power your house if the electricity went out. You've done a great job with these videos, thank you very much! Good job on the rented Charger, was that part of your plan?
I believe one of the Chevorlet Impalases is sitting on a driveway in Polluck Pines, CA. I talked to the home owner who's in his seventies and he confirmed that it was used in the movie. He bought from the movie production after the filming but he is a hard person to "deal" with!!!
I spoke to two guys that were on the crew for this crash. After the failed attempt using the train to pull the car (destroying the '68 Charger (#3)), they tried with a tow vehicle, an El Camino. It started at the east end of Ketcham with it's rear end just inches to the west of the pulley. They timed how quick it could reach speed going west & how far west the train should be when they start so the northbound Charger would meet at the right moment. Second try (car #2) worked. The surviving car #1 was sold off to a crew member.
According to the DVD commentary, the tow vehicle was the locomotive itself. They had a cable hooked to the back of the locomotive, and using pulleys ran it along the side of track to a pulley in the middle of the road and then it was connected to the car. That way, when the locomotive reached the road, the car would have been pulled exactly to that point and have a perfectly timed collision.
@@Wailwulf That was the first attempt on Saturday. But the pullet in the road was yanked out and the car went off course, missing the train completely. On Sunday they tried again, now towing with the El Camino, and that time it all worked.
@@jwramc Had not heard that. That is impeccable timing where alot of things timing wise could go wrong. As to the surviving car, I just read an 11 year old blog about that. The Production Company ended up selling it to a crew member on The Streets of San Francisco., who had seen it advertised in an film industry paper and recognized it for what it was.
@davsco37 Thanks. I saw the film in the theater in 1974 as a double feature with vanishing Point...and it's been love ever since. And, yes, between February and November 2011, I was often at the deli shooting trains at all hours of the night and early morning. I'll be back at it late next month, I'm sure. :)
I saw both versions, the drive in version when I waX about 6 a d the TV version when it aired. If I recall correctly, I believe o e of the shots of the car hitting the train was of a dart and ot the charger
Charger #2 was destroyed in the train collision. Charger #3, the 1968 model, was scrapped after the movie wrapped production. Apparently, the '69 440 Chargerwas sold to someone who helped make the film. Unfortunately, it was totaled in a collision in the early 1980's (rumor has it).
Well,if you read my earlier comments, I kinda guessed 65, to 70 for the normal impact speed. That is correct, a mortar was used to bust the rear window. I said the car was on a pulley and being towed. When I say undercranked, i don't mean to the point of looking cartoonish. I meant slightly if at all. The shot and camera effects produced gave it the appearance of say around 80 at impact.
"Clown to Franklin...Clown to Franklin...it's forty square miles and a hundred and twenty separate exits. If you really get it on you might be able to cover 10 of them!"
@yastunt Ya dont have to do that. Right before the car swerves to try and evade the crash, you can see a thin black line on the road. Thats the pulley system.
I painted my 1973 Fj40 Landcruiser this color because of this movie way back in 1990 when I bought it.. Then about 4 years ago, Jeep felt the need to resurrect this color.. pissed me off !!!
@yastunt No, you're actually wrong. The film is undercranked. They did drive the car into the side the train, at a slower speed in reality. The car was on a pulley, and contained two pyrotechnic charges. There is a rumor that they did slam it into the train, full on, with a over topped gas tank causing the blast, but that's since been debunked. No one knows where the three Impalas are BTW.....
Dead-man Production Correction about the Chargers. There was a total of 4 used. One was a 1970. The other was the show car, the dummy car that hit the train, 3 have been destroyed. All except for the stunt car that was auctioned off 2 years after the movie was made. The stunt car sat in the back yard in the West San Fernando Valley for over the last 30+ years. The owner finally sold it and hopefully it will turn up fully restored on the auction block in 2015 or 2016. Mark my word. This is no joke. I had hoped to get the car for the last 30 years. I'm talking "the stunt car" that was used in the movie. The actual move Charger. The last remaining one that has survived. Not sure who it was sold to, I'm praying it turns up on Mecum or Barrett'Jackson auctions soon.
TheDudeOutfHisElemen There was no fourth '70 car. Two were destroyed hitting the train (first the '68, then the '69 SE). The 3rd, a base '69 was reported totaled a few years later. The SFV could just as easily be home-made. No proof either way has been made public. It's nice to dream, but so far, no evidence.
The t v show Fall Guy used to show the crash scene, & i cringe every time i see it. Love this car Long before i loved the Generall Lee. Still love it more!
I still remember going to the Drive In as a kid at 10 yrs old with my parents to see this movie. Parents drove a 70 Super Bee the same color as the Charger. At 50 yrs old I now have a 69 Super Bee the same color. Love this show seen it at least 50 times. Awesome Job showing the locations. Thank You for sharing.

These videos were great! Saw this movie at the Potomac Drive In just outside of Cumberland, MD in the summer of '74. Love the 69 Charger!
One of the all time classic 70's drive in flicks. A great movie. When they knew how to make them.
+roquefortfiles This was one that was best seen at a drive in. Seeing it indoors wouldn't be the same.
Joe Snow
Its a Drive In staple.

アップして頂きましてありがとうございます。来年還暦になります。高校生の時代に劇場公開をスクリーンで鑑賞しました。ジェットレンジャーのパイロットの腕前に感動しました。簡単にアクションシーンが出来上がるＣＧ映画はアニメに降参すればいいでしょう。今鑑賞してもジェットレンジャーが回転翼を地面にこすりるよう左折するシーンには鳥肌です。この映画にかかわったすべての人々に感謝します。重ねてありがとうございます。

That was an interesting twist going back and comparing legendary chase scene footage to those very same places 30 years later. Well done!
Pretty interesting...Cool you had a Charger also...A fave drive-in movie for this teen back in the day...
Best car chase movie in history.... I watch it still after 40 years

Please tell me that Susan George got out safely
Vanishing Point; Two Lane Blacktop; and D.M.C.L. are the "sacred trinity" of gearhead flix. "Power shift here we go".
i wonder.where was the sheriff sub-station located at?????
They ran from the Law...but lost, in their race against death. Such was the fiery ending of Dirty Mary, and Crazy Larry.

@@jwramc maybe. It's been 48 years since Ive seen it on the big screen
I'm one of the three... Thank you!!!
I’m here remembering Peter Fonda...RIP!
Great job..My only question unless I missed it is what intersection did they land the helicopter to pick up Franklin
Charger #2 was destroyed in the train collision. Charger #3, the 1968 model, was scrapped after the movie wrapped production. Apparently, the '69 440 Chargerwas sold to someone who helped make the film. Unfortunately, it was totaled in a collision in the early 1980's (rumor has it).

Nice job!
I painted my 1973 Fj40 Landcruiser this color because of this movie way back in 1990 when I bought it.. Then about 4 years ago, Jeep felt the need to resurrect this color.. pissed me off !!!
you forgot the save mart in sonora
See part one.
Great video, unlike Herve Attila you don't mind telling us where the spots are, thanks!
Clown to Franklin, Clown to Franklin...
"...it's forty square miles and a hundred and twenty separate exits. If you really get it on you might be able to cover 10 of them!"
Thanks... now I know what that bilboard said.
Band On The Run by Paul McCartney & Wings would have been a perfect song for this motion picture, &/or little Wille by sweet.
@yastunt No, you're actually wrong. The film is undercranked. They did drive the car into the side the train, at a slower speed in reality. The car was on a pulley, and contained two pyrotechnic charges. There is a rumor that they did slam it into the train, full on, with a over topped gas tank causing the blast, but that's since been debunked.
No one knows where the three Impalas are BTW.....

Operation Lifesaver Highways Or Dieways
At least the duke boys didn't waste that one.
Poor Chargers :(
Dead-man Production Correction about the Chargers. There was a total of 4 used. One was a 1970. The other was the show car, the dummy car that hit the train, 3 have been destroyed. All except for the stunt car that was auctioned off 2 years after the movie was made. The stunt car sat in the back yard in the West San Fernando Valley for over the last 30+ years. The owner finally sold it and hopefully it will turn up fully restored on the auction block in 2015 or 2016. Mark my word. This is no joke. I had hoped to get the car for the last 30 years. I'm talking "the stunt car" that was used in the movie. The actual move Charger. The last remaining one that has survived. Not sure who it was sold to, I'm praying it turns up on Mecum or Barrett'Jackson auctions soon.
TheDudeOutfHisElemen There was no fourth '70 car. Two were destroyed hitting the train (first the '68, then the '69 SE). The 3rd, a base '69 was reported totaled a few years later. The SFV could just as easily be home-made. No proof either way has been made public. It's nice to dream, but so far, no evidence.
@yastunt Since it's undercranked, who knows. Im spit ballin it was like 65. 70 tops.
I want to live in Clements
Much of the San Joaquin Valley is frozen in time.
