If you consider almost 1/2 a decade as a long time. Anyway, even much later on 3.7 decades later in 2011 in the cult film drive angry, a similar 1969 dodge charger was used.
In real life, that dream car has lots of problems in adjusting to natural air pressure during cold start-ups, especially during wet weathers cold starts. Lots of water 💧 leaks and loose trims. Brakes are not good. Cornering is sloppy at best. But very good white nuckle straight line acceration. If you can live with all the problems of the above.
Paul Vickers , what was CGI in 1974 ? Computer Generated Idiot's , I have seen this movie so many times , probably because I have it on VHS tape and yes I have the tape player to watch it on
He had dumb luck to use best cars and bikes or mabey a visinary IDK honestly his sister had the opposite visinary shes fuking hated for humping tanks in north Vietnam no one forgives her she will forevermore be hated while peter did cool movies,i honestly wonder what peter fonda sr thought ?
Agreed. The leads are horrible, but I liked the supporting cast, in particular Deke, the mechanic, and Vic Morrow. They had some depth. Larry and Mary were just douche bags.
Back in those days no matter how much you were routing for the criminals. If they broke the law they never got away. That's just how movies were back then
I watched this movie when I was probably 7yrs old, and have been trying to find what movie I watched with this final scene with the train, for over 40 years, glad this was posted.
Saw this film and Vanishing Point on TV as a kid. Just seared into my mind . Began a love affair with Mopars. Always wondered why helicopters were always chasing them. Not long after seeing both films I was in the back seat of my dad's Ford LTD at a stop light. A 1971 Petty Blue Super Bird pulled up beside us. It was like the automobile version of Suzanne Somers blowing the kiss at the end of American Graffiti. Never saw who was driving. All I saw was that big beautiful wing in the back with the Road Runner decal. Light hit green and he lit the tires and was gone. Gone forever. Never saw it again. I started looking for helicopters.
watch the movie, the cop drivin it gets to check it out in the police motor pool. the guy says top speed is "unlimited" my brother and I still laugh about it. it was brought in to catch Larry and it failed
@@yanni2112 haha it was funny;I saw it years ago, the driver was Hank, I thought he had the best part in the whole film because to me he seemed more real than the others. When he used the police radio he always started his chat with 'This is Hank!' ( or something similar as my memory isn't the same) and when he crashed , he said on the radio " er, well the steering was a bit loose anyway"! I just cracked up! Hank rocks
@@yanni2112 When I was going to college in1973 a guy who lived in our apartment complex had a Honda 750, which was about the fastest bike at that time. It was put together out of some wrecked ones, so it was not legal to drive, but any time a cop came after him he would just run away. That worked for him for a while and then one day, he was riding without a helmet and a cop did a u turn to go after him. He kept running all through the small town, running red lights and stop signs and they could not catch him. An undercover State Trooper in narcotics was taking a class at the college and he had a special Police Pursuit Car that they got for him. It was a Camaro with a 454 and they went and got him out of class to chase the guy, Chuck Napp. He could not catch him either (the guy had been a motorcycle racer before he went in the Army and got discharged for stealing a tank and destroying farms in Germany). Finally, he had to slow down at an intersection because of cars in the way and the guy in the Camaro ran into the back of him and knocked him off of the bike. His dad must have had some clout, because he was back in college a couple of weeks later. His next adventure was jumping a bridge in his brother's Corvette, running into a ditch, clipping off the tops of pine trees about fifteen feet up. He had been decapitated when he ran through the barbed wire fence. He was just one of those guys who was not meant to be around very long.
charly farles After watching that movie in the past, I believe those 1972 & ‘73 Dodge Polaras used in this movie are actually retired California Highway Patrol cars. With the white front doors & roof, along with the dual spotlights, that’s the way the CHP cars were set up back then, and still are that way I believe. The 440’s in them ran good, but not as fast as the ones from the late 1960’s. Good Day to You!
@@zubitron5 the super pursuit mopars were by far the fastest patrol car ever used . I've talked with several older officers. And they all say the 1969 polara was thee car to have .
Thank You can't tell you how many times over the years I had to fast forward through this movie. If I had a complaint I didn't see when they pulled in behind the bar or when they left the gas station with the attendant still pumping gas. Excellent work just the same!

Just watched dirty Mary crazy Larry again, One of my favorite all time movies, seen it in the drive-in movies in Pennsylvania, i used to act it out as a boy in my dads Chevrolet with my cousins , Susan Georgie is 70 and still looks great ❤️
I had a '69 Charger when they first came out. It was white with a black interior and had a 426 hemi right from the dealer. That car was an absolute blast to drive. My parents let me pick out which new car I wanted and since everybody else was driving Mustangs or Camaros I picked the Charger. Yeah, I was a spoiled kid, but we used to drive all over the damned state just to be driving that car it was so much fun to drive.
There is a few brief shots where the Charger is a 68 instead of a 69. beginning where the Charger goes up onto a dirt road to avoid the cop car. It shows the round tail lights of a 68. Also soon after he is back down on the road, its shows a 69 grille with divider then a 68 with no divider!
If you look closely at 0:51 or so, the view over the top of the police car is that of a 1968 charger. Note the round tail lights. In fact, the continutity is a bit off when compared to the two seconds before that when the police car was at a complete stop while the Charger took the detour.
First time I saw this movie I was 10 years old it was a double feature with vanishing point, this was the coolest car I ever saw up to that point the crash scene at the end was a little tragic for me because I was in a car accident with my sister just 2 weeks earlier so, I remember jumping up off my seat, a little bit when he hit the train at are drive-in.
BEST ENDING EVER of any film ever. Bad guys get whats coming to them. The entire last half hour of the film was about them "making it". "He must be trying to out drive himself", "Ain't nothing going to stop us", :Sure looks that way." BANG CRASH BOOM THE END. Ditto.
I loved this movie and wanted a 1969 or such Dodge Charger but settled for a 1973 Dodge Charger SE with a 400 ci. I later went into the Army and flew the Jetranger (giving chase) as well as AH-1 Cobras. Never robbed any banks but spent almost 30 years in law enforcement.
It all came down "a few seconds too late" at the end. All the mishaps and crashes that Larry, Deke, and Mary were in earlier came back on them in the worst way. RIP Peter Fonda, RIP Adam Rourke, RIP Vic Morrow.
Dean Ladue yes I’ve figure it out that everything you do leads you in the right time and place for whatever path you’ve chosen in life , well said my friend
when i was a little boy, i saw this movie at the drive-in. it was the movie that made me fall in love with Dodge, and in particular, the Charger of this era. at the end, when the car hit the train and exploded, i cried. not for Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry (and his friend that no one can remember his name...), but for the car. in GTA online, i used to have an Imponte Dukes (in Dukes of Hazard they used the same year model), and i had the car look as close to this car as i could, and would re-enact this movie with police chases (but I never ran into the damned train with mine!). now i do the same with the Bravado Gauntlet Classic, and to me, it just seems to even more closely resemble the 69 Charger.
You're as bad as me! When Christine was getting squished by the dozer near the end of the film I cried buckets because I didn't want that beautiful yet murderous car to get hurt!
As a hard core FORD MAN, this film, reigns Supreme!! Another example of Hollywood, destroying some beautiful examples, of an era where MOPAR reigned Supreme!!!! Yeah, I said it twice!!!!
My grandmother owned the store where Susan George sat eating ice cream... she says they redid the scene several times so they would break the ice cream off the stick and throw it out so she wouldn’t have to keep eating so much
The greatest part about this movie is the fact that they actually have you rooting for the bad guy. It's not until the end you're reminded: "Oh yeah. They robbed a grocery store and kidnapped a young girl and her mother."
The model charger that's at the beginning of the vid is the model I bought off Ebay a few years ago. Really cool to see it on here. Just wondering if there's any chance of you running the charger clip's from Bad Georgia road? Your video quality is so much better than the originals.
Got to admit both looked great trying to do old school build on several 70s vans and el camino at my shop really hard to find matching slotted mags from 70s
The Charger (1966-70) is my dream car. It will always be a dream, for I am one poor slob. Seeing so many Chargers being destroyed, for the sake of films, has always broken my heart. For those of you that own one, all my best to you.
They should have gotten away. The director throws shit in our faces with this ending. I guess he was trying to make the same kind of profound statement that the director of Easy Rider was trying to make - which is nothing at all. I was seven when I saw this, and I still haven't gotten over that horrible ending.
Peter fonda kicks freakin ass in this flick. Not enough credit goes to James Gavin, the chopper pilot. Just incredible flying. He was the best Hollywood stunt pilot ever. Still looking for the supercharged edition of this movie with the details narrated in part by director John hough. I remember seeing a Peter fonda triple feature at the movies, maybe in 1974, It was dirty Mary crazy Larry, race with the devil and killer force. Any movie with fonda was just great. Ps. Poor vic morrow. He had no idea how helicopters would affect his life in the coming years
MOSTLY shot among the Cherry/Walnut orchards of Linden and Farmington. Not sure about the berm where they go past the cop. Love Dingleberry's Giggle! A great distraction at the passion pits at West Lane & Hammer Drive in!
This movie had the BEST ENDING EVER of any film ever. Bad guys get whats coming to them. The entire last half hour of the film was about them "making it". "He must be trying to out drive himself", "Ain't nothing going to stop us", :Sure looks that way." BANG CRASH BOOM THE END. Ditto.
What a awesome movie. For me a couple of reasons, 66 Chevy reminds of my dads 65 as 327 4sd(same color). And that full blown hot rod 69 Dodge Charger . I an a Chevy guy. I still want to both cars today ,the ending was a huge let down that I guess had to happen.
It's surprising how popular the 1969 Dodge Charger has been throughout history especially in TV shows & motion pictures. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry 1974, The Dukes Of Hazzard 1979-1985 + Drive Angry 2011 to name a few. I prefer vehicles of that era 1960s to 1970s in terms of design & style to the 1's of today the 21st century. This motion picture also reminds me of 2 others of the same year: The Sugarland Express starring Goldie Hawn who reminds me of Susan George of this movie & The California Kid starring Martin Sheen which also had some chase scenes with law enforcement officers. Even a bit of a 1973 movie Badlands which also starred Martin Sheen reminded me of this 1974 movie.

The model charger that's at the beginning of the vid is the model I bought off Ebay a few years ago. Really cool to see it on here. Just wondering if there's any chance of you running the charger clip's from Bad Georgia road? Your video quality is so much better than the originals.
Awesome vid
That poor mopar
Man, great job!
7 years old when this come out .I watched on CBS Friday night movie if I remember right lol
Me too lol
I saw this when it came out in my Chevelle SS 454 at the drive in... Life was great in the seventies!
Oh wow, I remember that movie it’s such a great performance for the many actors n actresses. Especially actress Susan George such a great performance.
Great looking Charger in the thumbnail photo, but the one in the movie had polished aluminum slot rims, not chrome.
Got to admit both looked great trying to do old school build on several 70s vans and el camino at my shop really hard to find matching slotted mags from 70s
I think the thumbnail pic is actually a die cast model.
If you have a girl in the car and you're flying down the highway when you pass a cop if she giggles... She's a keeper !!!
Amen, my wife still giggles when we see cops. Hee heehee!!!!
That Charger musta had dynamite in the trunk! Lol!
The Charger (1966-70) is my dream car. It will always be a dream, for I am one poor slob. Seeing so many Chargers being destroyed, for the sake of films, has always broken my heart. For those of you that own one, all my best to you.
You mean 1967 to 1970. The 65 and 66 model years were a completely different body style
Thank 👍
'66 and '67 earlier style
Larry cool, Mary hot'
Me & you both!!!!
Mary buck toothed hag but 70s hot ,probably had full bush
@@phoneone1371 why not shaved?
This was the finest film ever to be committed to celluloid.
I loved this movie as a young kid in the 70’s 👍
They should have gotten away. The director throws shit in our faces with this ending. I guess he was trying to make the same kind of profound statement that the director of Easy Rider was trying to make - which is nothing at all.
I was seven when I saw this, and I still haven't gotten over that horrible ending.
I would hope this legendary wreck is in a car museum somewhere.
Original from the factory is great but I love the Day Two look. Fat tires and deep dish wheels gives a muscle car the perfect stance.
Peter fonda kicks freakin ass in this flick. Not enough credit goes to James Gavin, the chopper pilot. Just incredible flying. He was the best Hollywood stunt pilot ever. Still looking for the supercharged edition of this movie with the details narrated in part by director John hough. I remember seeing a Peter fonda triple feature at the movies, maybe in 1974, It was dirty Mary crazy Larry, race with the devil and killer force. Any movie with fonda was just great. Ps. Poor vic morrow. He had no idea how helicopters would affect his life in the coming years
Race With The Devil & Killer Force were in 1975. Of course Peter Fonda's most famous motion picture was 1969's Easy Rider.
Yeah, l da crapped my pants as a passenger in that chopper, almost standing on its nose. 😮
ANYTIME is TRAIN TIME!
Anybody know if that was an original factory paint scheme on that Charger, or was it custom for the movie?
Let me google it and do the research...and I'll get back to you.
Best car chase movie ever peter fonda passed away aug 16 2019

1:21
Aaahhhhhhhh!!! 😫😫😫😫😣😣😣😣😣
1:37
It pains me to look at that!
My first car was a 69 charger with a 383 which got alot of going over in highschool.
If anybody says girls aren't impressed by a car...
owns a pinto!
🏆One of my all-time favorite movies 😆I got the movie right here 🍀got R done 😎✌️
Oop’s ! The spoiler. No Problem ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
MOSTLY shot among the Cherry/Walnut orchards of Linden and Farmington. Not sure about the berm where they go past the cop. Love Dingleberry's Giggle!
A great distraction at the passion pits at West Lane & Hammer Drive in!
Exploded like a Ford Pinto...lol
Broncort1 lol 😂 best comment here 🙌🏼👏🏼👍🏼👌🏼
I love this movie and I don't know why
Use to love running around Linden in my 68 Coronet R/T....
They sure destroyed a lot of them chargers
Indeed!; between movies and Dukes of Hazzard I'm surprised there are any '69s left out there anymore today.
They only used 2 for this film
@@rubendelatorre1602 Two too many!
They used only a few.
they used 3 chargers for this, a 1969 charger R/T, a 1969 base model charger and a 1968 R/T
I wonder if it was under warranty?
03:18 that was MY mailbox, MF
3:27 They bent the railing on the locomotive. About $20 worth of damage minus labor.
I remember that show when I was 5 years old.
You know not to be morbid, but adding Mary's scream as the Charger blew up was kind of a nice touch...
How about Corvette Summer, Two lane Blacktop, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry and Bulit
& Eat my Dust 😎 Ron Howard
This movie had the BEST ENDING EVER of any film ever. Bad guys get whats coming to them. The entire last half hour of the film was about them "making it". "He must be trying to out drive himself", "Ain't nothing going to stop us", :Sure looks that way." BANG CRASH BOOM THE END. Ditto.
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I didn't like that the young gal perished with them. I hear that the ending pissed a lot of people off.
THE REACTION AT THE FINAL SCENE IS ALWAYS THE SAME : ´´OOOOOOOWWWWWWW , DAAAAMN !!! ´´...
vanishing point as well. :(
@@terrycrotts2522 YEAH, THAT´S RIGHT... BUT THIS ONE IS SO UNEXPECTED...
The ending scene is in the theme song/opening credits for The Fall Guy.. my all time hero! Wish they made a remake movie now days of it.
Todays version would be brokeback woke guy
“It was a four forty. I saw the dee-cal.”
That wasn’t in the theatrical release. Only on the ABC Friday Night Movies. I was bummed when my DVD didn’t have that scene. I have 5 440’s! 😀
What a awesome movie. For me a couple of reasons, 66 Chevy reminds of my dads 65 as 327 4sd(same color). And that full blown hot rod 69 Dodge Charger . I an a Chevy guy. I still want to both cars today ,the ending was a huge let down that I guess had to happen.
Did they die at the end?
GREAT MOVIE
That helicopter chase was epic
It's surprising how popular the 1969 Dodge Charger has been throughout history especially in TV shows & motion pictures. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry 1974, The Dukes Of Hazzard 1979-1985 + Drive Angry 2011 to name a few. I prefer vehicles of that era 1960s to 1970s in terms of design & style to the 1's of today the 21st century. This motion picture also reminds me of 2 others of the same year: The Sugarland Express starring Goldie Hawn who reminds me of Susan George of this movie & The California Kid starring Martin Sheen which also had some chase scenes with law enforcement officers. Even a bit of a 1973 movie Badlands which also starred Martin Sheen reminded me of this 1974 movie.
