Way better then the Hollywooded up Nicolas Cage version. What you see is what you get. A lot of people don't know, that in the part when he hit , and sheered off that steel utility pole. He really did lose control, and seriously injured himself. Had "Eleanor" not been extremely reinforced, he'd of been done for. He kept on going even after he was seriously hurt.You gotta understand also, this was filmed on a very limited budget. Nobody in Hollweird would get behind his vision. Thus why H.B. "Toby" Halicki Wrote, produced, directed,was the stunt coordinator and drove the Eleanor car. So much more realistic then the re-make. He hit something, something got dented, smashed, or fell off the car.You see a lot of close friends, and family of his in the credits. It took me YEARS to find the original version of Gone IN 60 Seconds on DVD, after the fluffed up version came out. Still looking for more of his films on DVD
wazzzzzup I have a DVD called "Fast as Hell"It has "The Junkman","Deadline AutoTheft"and"Gone in 60 Seconds ll".All are H.B.Halicki movies.The Junkman is an actual finished movie.A cool chase scene with him driving a 80-82Corvette.I rented this movie from a gas station/video store in 1988.After the early 90s these movies became hard to find.The others are slapped together footage that was left after Toby Halickis unfortunate death onset during filming in 1989.Check out "MillCreekDirect.com".If that doesn't work text me at 6159875079.I'm a total fan of these movies and have a friend that keeps up with it.
+wazzzzzup, first of all, you are of full of shit, so take off the rose-colored nostalgia glasses, okay? Second, while the newer Gone in 60 Seconds had so-so car chase scenes, its story was a lot better done than the H.B. Halicki movie, but the H.B. Halicki movie also had very impressive car chase scenes in its own right and, like the first French Connection film, it was done all in real time and you know how well people loved that part of the movie.
When I was a kid, I'm 62 now, my uncle George had a house in Carson California, and took me to see a major part of filming this movie, I'll never forget being there

@@christianmaheu9565 Best ever car chase. Saw this at the drive-in when it came out. Can watch any time. Have the DVD of this and the remake. Original is still the best chase ever.
this has to be one of the best car chase movies of all time from what i had herd they never stopped filming during the chase and the funny thing was it was a low budget film way better than the newer gone in 60 by far
They didn't want to pay for the permit to film so they did it on a Sunday when the inspector was at home. All the people you see on the sidewalks running scared didn't know a movie was being filmed.
This is the real deal not a hollywood remake the low budget made it seem more realistic and it was best chase ever 351 C stangs always a favorite thanks
Back in late summer of 1976 I dragged home a nearly mint 71 Mach 1 fast back the last of its kind with that mach 1 logo on it the yellow was much deeper than this movie car so it might not even be all original... It had in it what my uncle grand father said was a toasted possibly run out of oil running but knocking 351C. They spent about 7-8 months refining it and never told me there was a two 4bbl intake somewhere the back with one Holley 850 carb. They did their own magic. The thing turned into an out of control museum piece still currently in my dads recroom museum. Under my dads house is 5 of my own vehicles 4 of his own and a half dozen motorcycles that have not been started since we parked em. My uncle Meinhert is credited with finishing that cars. That Mustang like my Camaro can literally tear a pair rear tires right off it. I had that Mustang up over 100 some shut it down. last time I ever drove it was summer of 88. I just got home from military serv in Panama.. I was hurt and went reserves. My dad revived the speedo that took a dump the summer of 1978 my grand father and uncle beat on it all summer long even raced it a few times locally on the streets. It now sits untouched without a single dent. It has an anti Jane Fonda sticker on the hatch window. We left that there for some reasons. The odd touch to that Mach 1 is the chrome wheel arches and chrome along the bottoms of the doors and rockers similar to the 69 model year. I have seen other 70 body styles like that.
He didn't even have permits to film this movie, all the 500 plus cars were owned by H.B Halicki, this was the only movie that was 100% funded by the maker, all the stunts were done with zero permits including driving through the crowded parks and all the crashes, when he took out the light pole on the L.A Freeway he just took off up the ramp like it was supposed to happen, it was all in the extras on the dvd that sold @ Walmart 15 yrs ago. Best movie I ever found in the $5 bins besides Vanishing Point and and a few others.
Being as Toby's automobilia collection is around 100,000 pieces strong, you would expect there to be enough vehicles to create some of the best footage ever produced...!!! 😉👍
Death proof tarantino movie uses a yellow munstang, the vanishing point challenger car and also Steve McQueen movie chased car as the death proof car i think
I’ve seen this chase countless times and I’m always blown away how the driver of the car that veers left and out of the shot at 20:12 regains control of the car and re-enters the shot two seconds later. This guy could have been a racing driver with car control like that.
the guy driving the car was the same guy that wrote the movie directed the moving and acted in the movie I cant remember his name right now but its a helluva story. He got killed in a stunt drive gone wrong I think doing another movie.
H.B. Halicki. He was a real gonzo filmmaker who made his fortune in the auto salvage business. When he made 'Gone...' he shot it without a completed script, provided his own cars and did his own stunt driving. Sadly, he did die on the Buffalo, NY set of 'Gone In Sixty Seconds 2' in August 20, 1989. A cable holding a water tower to be dropped snapped unexpectedly knowing over a telephone pole onto Halicki killing him instantly. He was 48.
@@johnwilliamson2707 I know about him. He’s a legend in my eyes. I meant the guy driving the cop car that started the chase. Looks like he hit a rut in the mud and almost crashed.
Negative, Halicki was driving the mustang, the car in question was driven by a Long Beach police officer. All the cops in the movie were real cops in addition to the Firemen and pretty much everyone else you see in the movie except for the heavy set guy playing a cop he was J.C. Agajanian Jr the son of J.C Agajanian
The best movie ever that reminds me of lot of beautiful things when I was 21 years old. I can watch it all day and I’ll never get bored. Love it love the cars style and look of that era. Nothing is fake here everything is real.
I have fond memories from my childhood of my father watching this movie by himself and saying, ``This movie is so funny, let's all go see it!'' as a family.
Yeah my grandfather was in that movie and was good friends with Toby. He played the insurance adjustor in the scene with parnell Jones with the olly bronco.
Just ONE More thing..By far the best chase car movie of all time. I grew up in LA where they filmed most of this. Back then the Harbor Freeway was the (11) not the (110) as it is today. You can definitely say that -“ Eleanor” was one FORD that truly was F-irst O-n R-ace D-ay..lol
I saw this at a screening at a Custom Van hotrod show at the CNE in '77. Shag rug mandatory. My friends mom timed the final chase scene on her wristwatch. It just went on and on and we loved it. p.s. The Cadillac full of Cannabis Connaisseurs were the best.
There have been some great car chases and action ovies... Bullit, Blues Brothers, Foul Play, Mad Max/Road Warrior, Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, Death Race 2000, Duel, even the Gone in 60 Seconds remake to name a few. This one though is still the king!
The continuity in the chase is just impeccable.. so many car chase films have a car lose its door then in the next frame it’s back, then gone again.. dents and scratches on cars appearing then disappearing.
H.B. Halicki (polish decsent) This classic chase was done on s a sunday because the guy in charge of city / events bylaw wasn't working on Sundays .that off ramp pole incident was not planned . 15:11 Eleanor had nascar roll cage installed. That was Toby.
IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!! I have seen a lot of car chase scenes in my life but nothing, I mean NOTHING can compare to this chase scene. It makes the famous Bullit chase scene look tame. This is a riot!!! Surely unbelievable but who cares? That 73 Stang just keeps going on and on and ON!! I love the ending. I wonder how many cars they wrecked in making this. Truly a gem of short film worth watching. Actually hilarious. In real life if you do a run from the cops in your car, when they catch you the police think you have earned yourself a bad beating and you are going to get one no matter what you do. So better to just let them give you the ticket. But, then, this guy was wanted...for what? Was one of his brake lights out? Many years ago, back in the 1960's, one of my neighbors was an Illinois State Police officer. That's equivalent to the Highway Patrol. He said that he wouldn't go faster than 90 to catch anybody and that if they did a run he'd just let them go!!!
That’s gotta have at least a 100 gallon gas tank and the toughest and strongest tires I ever seen or heard of and that man can drive better than any other person .
Gotta be the best car chase ever! No budget. No permits. No road closures. No stunt doubles. Most of the cars they crashed were his own. Poor ol' Eleanor. I wonder how many tire and radiator changes they had to make. And how many times they had to pull a fender away from a tire. R.I.P. Toby.
So many beautiful cars! If I had a time machine (IDC what people say, I want THE DeLorean) I'd love to go back to those days to drive those beauties day in and day out 😍💯❤
73 stang I had one in 1982 with Craggier 5 spoke chrome N 50 15’s she was a beast 4:11 rear end and 2800 rpm automatic stall 351 tricked out. I loved that car!
I'm glad that I have the DVD of this movie. Cool movie, certainly worth watching!! This had the Guinness Book of World Records for the most vehicles destroyed in 1 movie.

I watched this when it first came out. I was a teenager and loved every minute of this movie. I still feel the excitement even now every time that I view this legendary movie. The best car chase movie ever made for sure. FORD BABY❤
@@scottworsley3218 that's exactly the case production couldn't afford a new one so they started a 71 and halicki did his stunt mods to the 71 dressed up like 73
I remember getting this on DVD back in 2003, and I was like "What?" The only Gone In 60 I knew about was the 2000 version. Regardless, this whole sequence -- as hurtful as it is to see these Classics get wrecked, is low-key GOATED as far as movie chases go.
Not just a great car chase film, but a great car film, period. A smorgasbord of classic American and foreign cars and street scenes of the mid '70s. As for the concluding chase scene, I had the good luck to watch this on the big screen when it was first released. I left the movie theater with sweat on my palms, and had to settle down a bit before starting my car. Just wow.
This movie makes me miss my medium yellow gold 71 Boss 351. I had to sell it in the early 80's because we were having our 1st child. The guy who bought ended up giving it to his 16 year old son. And his son rear ended a Semi on the highway in the fog doing 100+mph. The officer at the crash scene said the speedo was stuck at 100mph.
You know, if you think about it we really should thank the guy with the pink shirt at 5:25 cause if he hadn't moved out of the way when he did, the chase would've lasted for literally 4-5 minutes.
My Dad had a Mustang like at the start of the video... same rims, Same Color or very close (it's been a while). Fords rusted like crazy! 2nd year, the radio antenna fell through the fender, also there was a hole in the trunk floor large enough for a loaf of bread to fit through. CRAZY !!
I remember seeing this when I was a kid it was awesome my uncle was a stunt man in the 50s and 60s wish he was alive to see the fall of Hollywood it's a tragedy he was a real man
😮❤ I'm almost 50 years old. I remember watching these old movies with my dad. Thought they were so awesome. And they still are even today. Lot more action in realistic without all the computer-animated s*** My dad also had flat black 71 Mustang. 351.
It's amazing what that Mustang withstood through this movie. I did read somewhere that Mustang did need some major repair when Halicki hit the pole at 15:15. It also said that was a real unscripted accident that postponed filming a few weeks due to Halicki's injuries.
Incredible chase ... after 50 years, it is still one of the best ever !
i loved it to
some driver
some stuntman
respect for this driver
And Bullit
The Seven Ups……much shorter, but just as sweet!
The best
Best car chase movie ever!Awesome story behinf the making of it.
Hard to watch with some of the classics getting wrecked in the chase . Brings a tears to my eyes
Yeah especially the 67 Fairlane convertible I had a 66 390 hi Pro with the Borg Warner top loader 4 speed
Just as long as it isn't being destroyed nowadays where it would be irreplaceable
Halicki bought 200 cars from scrap yard for this movie
They weren't classic back then.
I know, when that little white Peugot turned over on the bridge.
It physically hurts to see all these classic cars being destroyed, but great chase.

Must have been a 1973, in 1974 Ford introduced the smaller Mustang II. It was produced on the same chassis as the Pinto.
I seen this movie when it first came out. I also have it on VHS.
you have the best sound track !!! this one is the remix from the re release a few years ago .
5:17
pink shirt guy will forever have my respect
Nah I think he just scared af that he wanted to move away 😂
@@calebho5392 nah he moved to let him pass
OG before IG😂😂😂
The man's confidence is just like the mostang😂😂😂
Great movie 😊
That’s gotta have at least a 100 gallon gas tank and the toughest and strongest tires I ever seen or heard of and that man can drive better than any other person .
Him backing up the tow truck with a car on it while being chased has my respect, most people can't backup a car and he's outrunning the cops
Gotta be the best car chase ever!
No budget. No permits. No road closures. No stunt doubles. Most of the cars they crashed were his own. Poor ol' Eleanor. I wonder how many tire and radiator changes they had to make. And how many times they had to pull a fender away from a tire. R.I.P. Toby.
some of the police officers knew about the filming in were also in the movie but i think thats it, the fire and medical dept. didnt know about it.
The smack- umbrella grandma steals the show 4:27 😂😂😂
I came to the comments section looking for this 🤣😂😆
😂
And to think she ruined her perfectly good umbrella that had me laughing😂.
Oh God, it reminds us of those beautiful times
This Scene is so much better than the knock-off
So many beautiful cars! If I had a time machine (IDC what people say, I want THE DeLorean) I'd love to go back to those days to drive those beauties day in and day out 😍💯❤
The picture is so clear 💙👍💯
35mm film and a good transfer.
73 stang I had one in 1982 with Craggier 5 spoke chrome N 50 15’s she was a beast 4:11 rear end and 2800 rpm automatic stall 351 tricked out. I loved that car!
This one is hard to beat. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm glad that I have the DVD of this movie. Cool movie, certainly worth watching!! This had the Guinness Book of World Records for the most vehicles destroyed in 1 movie.
I like the way it’s like oh the movie is over? Lol
this is filmed so good i miss the 70s and i grow up in the 90s which were also great
Amazing stereo sound of chase!!!
Was a shame when H. B. Halicki died doing one of his own stunts for the sequel to this.
that's the life of a stuntman.
yeah thats was in the movie "The junkman" if i remember right
@@sleepysnzno ot was gone in sixty seconds 2. Fast and the furious ripped of the slicer. There is a post on here of all the finished footage from sixty seconds 2.
@@uberdang830 sixty seconds 2 ???? Never heard of that movie. He died in the junkman which was the sequel to the original gone in 60 seconds. No idea where fast and furuios fits into all this but ok
@@sleepysnz Actually Deadline Auto Theft is the sequel to gone in 60 seconds.
Hi have a good time ,AMAIZING FILME ,great memories wen l was a child,speed,emotions,great MUSTANG,TIME TO TAKE A SEAT AND ENJOY ,THANK YOU.YOUR FRIEND OSCAR FRANCISCO.
Never seen this before good Chase thanks for putting this on!
Ive got this on dvd . It's cool.
I watched this when it first came out. I was a teenager and loved every minute of this movie. I still feel the excitement even now every time that I view this legendary movie. The best car chase movie ever made for sure. FORD BABY❤
Actually that is a '73 Mustang. The 1971's turn signals in the front grill are horizontal, while the 1973's are vertical.
73 front clips halicki hielly modified to take shit ton of abuse he started with a 71
I read somewhere years ago that they used a 71 Mustang and added a 73 grill. Don't know why.
@@scottworsley3218 that's exactly the case production couldn't afford a new one so they started a 71 and halicki did his stunt mods to the 71 dressed up like 73
all Cleveland power
You are correct.
@@scottworsley3218
This intro is classic . Never gets old . Between this and Bullit chase hard to defy
Non esiste niente di meglio. Questo è il più grande inseguimento della storia del cinema
You gotta love how the opening scene with him in the Cadillac doing 90 was not a sped up scene. CGI will never replace real action!
I remember getting this on DVD back in 2003, and I was like "What?" The only Gone In 60 I knew about was the 2000 version. Regardless, this whole sequence -- as hurtful as it is to see these Classics get wrecked, is low-key GOATED as far as movie chases go.
Not just a great car chase film, but a great car film, period. A smorgasbord of classic American and foreign cars and street scenes of the mid '70s. As for the concluding chase scene, I had the good luck to watch this on the big screen when it was first released. I left the movie theater with sweat on my palms, and had to settle down a bit before starting my car. Just wow.
thats a great experience. I bet the roar of that 351 echoed through the whole theatre
as a former member of a stunt team,this is THE best movie !
Still my favorite after all these years, saw it in the theater, fantastic movie for stunts
THIS IS THE TRUE ELEANOR NOT A 67 MUSTANG
1968 Mustang! 390!!
You're right
Thank you 👍. Agree 💯. I watched the Nick Cage version and didn't like it.
I agree rest in peace Hal hickey
And Definitely Not A MODERN DAY Mustang!!
Went to the theater to see this movie. Lot of car movies back then. 70' were the best
R.I.P for all the cool cars that were wrecked in the making of these scene
Cool cars? Non of them are/were cool. Just rot boxes
Thumbs Up ! Always love your videos. Thanks for the great movies that will always be remembered.
A movie for the car chase, by the car chase and of the car chase!🤘
This movie makes me miss my medium yellow gold 71 Boss 351. I had to sell it in the early 80's because we were having our 1st child.
The guy who bought ended up giving it to his 16 year old son. And his son rear ended a Semi on the highway in the fog doing 100+mph. The officer at the crash scene said the speedo was stuck at 100mph.
That mustang is like a Timex watch: takes a lickin' as it keeps on tickin'...
It's built Ford tough.
With all due respect to Mr. Steve McQueen -- this chase beats the flying crapola out of the "Bullit" chase by 111 nautical miles.
Круто! Форд Мустанг 71 блестяще показал себя в этих полицейских гонках)
Like watching old boats in choppy waters.
And the eager crowd, watching from shore. Hilarious stuff!
You know, if you think about it we really should thank the guy with the pink shirt at 5:25 cause if he hadn't moved out of the way when he did, the chase would've lasted for literally 4-5 minutes.
Wow, I have never seen a movie where the car chase goes for 29 minutes, thanks.
When you try to escape all the wanted stars you obtained in GTA.
I'd never seen this movie. What a classic!
That nice blue SATILITE !
Thank you for posting!
Much better than the modern Nicolas Cage 60 Seconds👍😎
Still got this film on DVD 😁👍🏴
That montego cap car could smoke them tires way better than any car there amazing chase ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My Dad had a Mustang like at the start of the video... same rims, Same Color or very close (it's been a while). Fords rusted like crazy! 2nd year, the radio antenna fell through the fender, also there was a hole in the trunk floor large enough for a loaf of bread to fit through. CRAZY !!
Salt on the roads during winter where you lived?? ..car not garaged kept?
This is the only mustang ive seen that hasnt hit a crowd
I remember seeing this when I was a kid it was awesome my uncle was a stunt man in the 50s and 60s wish he was alive to see the fall of Hollywood it's a tragedy he was a real man
とても懐かしい。テレビで放送されたものをVHSのデッキで録画してテープがすり減る迄見ました。傘で車を叩くご婦人のシーン、いまだに覚えていました。
大好きな映画なので観られてよかったです！ありがとうございます。
日本でのタイトルは「バニシングin60」だったでしょうか？
@@celicaxx1981 そのタイトルで下ね
バニシング・ポイントという映画もありましたね。どちらも面白かったです
@@celicaxx1981 おっしゃる通りです。そのタイトルでしたね
バニシング・ポイントという映画もありましたね。あちらも好きな映画です
ダッジチャレンジャーと一人の男が走るだけの最高の映画ですね
The stunt driver had serious back injuries after that jump.
😮❤ I'm almost 50 years old. I remember watching these old movies with my dad.
Thought they were so awesome. And they still are even today. Lot more action in realistic without all the computer-animated s***
My dad also had flat black 71 Mustang. 351.
Dime a dozen or not back in the day or night it is still sad to see these classic cars being destroyed and even more sad in modern days.
I was thrilled when I saw this movie
THIS REALLY MADE ME LAUGH AT THE GREAT FINAL "YELLOW MUSTANG"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's amazing what that Mustang withstood through this movie. I did read somewhere that Mustang did need some major repair when Halicki hit the pole at 15:15. It also said that was a real unscripted accident that postponed filming a few weeks due to Halicki's injuries.
