- McQ (1974) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #McQ
Two slain officers lie in pools of blood on the street. There's no pattern to the killings and police are confused and scared. Only after gunshots splatter his partner across a back alley and Detective Lon McQ himself narrowly escapes death does the bloody rampage make sense. Now McQ knows whom to go after. John Wayne thunderously enforces the law in a high-velocity thriller that's like a big-city revenge Western on wheels. Directed by action master John Sturges (The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven).
Directed By John Sturges
Starring John Wayne, Eddie Albert, Diana Muldaur

I love John Wayne's westerns and war movies, but I really wished he would have made more movies like this.
Such an underrated movie and chase sequence, and something more: an even greater showcase of the "Warner Soundtrack" featuring all of the distinguishable tire screeches, engine revs, and horn honks you know you've heard in countless other Warner Bros movies!
Blues Brothers and Bullitt to name two.
Like the constant "wheel hop" tire screeching effect featured here was used quite a bit on the "Hardcastle and McCormick" series. Way overused. And as for "Bullitt", that annoying double clutch sound effect they used during the chase almost ruins it for me.
Lol every movie is Underrated,
Go to any movie on UA-cam
Hit that comment section.
Always some half a meat ball
With Underrated, 👉😜
The most underrated John Wayne movie.
THe most underrated toupee.
When McQ pulls on the van, there is a truck behind it full of gas cylinders 0:24, he shoots really badly, by missing the van, he should blow up this truck with its load ,,,,, that's the cinema for papy's and granny's ...... PAW PAW PIF PAF )))))
I want to see the scene were the firebird gets smashed between the two semi trucks he jumps in the back seat poor car😳
@@asamiyamazaki1515 quiet.
Classic and underrated Duke movie and car chase!
Damn, I love that car
I love it when he shoots directly at the truck loaded with gas cylinders.
Caught that. If this was Justified.....another story.
This is awesome.
Get outta that truck!!!!LMAO!!
This is Bullit meets Dirty Harry.
The Duke could've hit one of the oxygen cylinders outside the hospital. BOOM.
This is a ripoff of the Bullitt chase scene.
More of an homage than a ripoff.
I don't see a lot of similarites in this two car chase scenes. They drive cars in both of them ... that's it.
At least the Trans Am didn't lose 8 hubcaps.
They over dubbed the sound of Bullitt’s Mustang
@@davidjohnmiller4849 it was the rt challenger from vanishing point in 71.
The soundtrack definitely influenced the one on Rush Hour I think.
If only they had invented the PIT maneuver back then...
No such role as a continuity supervisor in those days. Haha
2:44 - 2:48 best sound of the film
That sound effect is from the Challenger in Vanishing Point. It's a Mopar 383 V8.
It sounds like the General Lee LOL
@@keonjenkins1852 Absolutely -- Dukes of Hazzard lifted the Charger from Bullitt and Challenger from Vanishing Point for the sound effects for the General Lee. That's why so many people thought the General Lee had a 4 speed -- because the sound effects sourced from those 2 films had 4 speed/383 V8 cars.
John Wayne in a Trans Am before Burt Reynolds! It's kinda odd that his name is McQ. Is it a nod to Steve McQueen? Also, seems like The Rockford Files was inspired by this with the Firebird, blazer and living at the beach..
Beautiful 455 sd trans am, better car than bullits mustang, notice that some of the sound affects were from the rt challenger in vanishing point from 71….??
Didn’t they film the bit when the Duke went through a car wash after driving through that dusty track?
Hos car was covered with dust then came out clean...
Turned down Dirty Harry because he didn't want Sinatra's leftovers and it's rogue cop violence. Regrets his decision when Dirty Harry becomes a monster hit for Eastwood so he does McQ.
It's a beattle to live in Seattle...
One of the few times in movies a shotgun makes a pattern of holes rather than one big hole. Love this film.
Too bad McQ decides to go careening through the city streets and backalleys rather than just follow the same course the truck took and chase it down in about five seconds with that powerful car he's driving. Not too terribly realistic -- or rational.
@Justin Edwardswell yes irl. But in movies it depends on what the director thinks looks "cool". So sometimes shotguns holes the size of dinner plates and blow people across the room
@@Cryptonymicus He couldn't. He tries to get on the freeway, but it was backed up. He didn't initially know which direction the truck took, but saw it, then had to find the nearest on ramp. It flows.
@@Cryptonymicus Idiot ill thought out comment smart ass.. NOT!!
John Wayne, mod Seattle cop. I was 14 when they made this movie. 1974.
That area where he drives under I5 is a big homeless camp. Actually.... every area he drives through now is a homeless camp.
God of Stream 1215 yup Washington gone to shit
What do you expect from the Governor and the Mayor and the city council. What a bunch of clowns.
Keep electing democrats and this will be the result. Wake up Washington State!!!
Antifa's campgrounds.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. lol
Love the 70's car chases. No CGI. Just cars being driven beyond thier limits getting more smashed up as the scene goes along. Ol' John just looks like a guy who drinks and smokes a lot.
Yes he was a hard drinker and smoker in real life when he made the Alamo he was getting through 100 packs of cigarettes a day
The car, the soundtrack, the guns...this is so 70s haha
Also, the film quality and visible air pollution in the city.
@@101Volts Also, error in continuity. On one shot, the car is covered with sand, a few shots later the car is clean as a whistle.
Yes indeed and Love It.
Beats the hell out of these d****** movies they make now
You took the words right out of my mouth ❤
Surprised how intense this was given he wasn't even chasing the truck for 90% of this. Amazingly well shot!
“The Duke,” is driving my DREAM CAR! AWESOME!! 😎👍🏾🔥🥳🤟🏾😆
67 year old John Wayne in a great shape, good looking. He is like big rock in in ellegant costume. Car chases in this movie one of the best ever, tremendous stunt work. Good and interesting script and story. I can watch another 101 time. Diana Maldauwer is very beautiful and her part in the film breathtaking. And ofcourse great other actors. tis is the best example of action american movie and still not beaten by any other
John Wayne actually has excellent taste especially when it comes to automobiles such as a 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in Brewster Green.
Do you guys really believe that movie stars get to pick their own cars for the movies???
fk god , I cried when that happened.
@@organfreak Hey Einstein, ever heard of this fellow named "Steve McQueen"? He was in a movie called "Bullitt" and guess who decided what kind of car his character would drive? Right. Not only the kind of car, but the EXACT car, custom wheels and all. So, you were saying...
@@fkerpants Who TF cares? I was there; I watched the scenes being filmed.
Do you know how rare that color is on trans am
Absolutely love that Brewster green '73 Trans Am! - It's as cool as the '68 Mustang in Bullitt!
As a longtime south Seattle resident, all I can think about is how that's probably the absolute worst route to get from Beacon Hill to Lake Union. Took him a whole 4 minutes to get onto I-5. Then again, that onramp at Dearborn is *always* stopped..
I hear Seattle has become a shithole. Sorry to hear that. I guess with John Wayne out of the picture nobody is keeping the peace anymore.
I lived in west Seattle and know that area down by safeco well... he basically did a big circle, headed south under I5 and somehow got back northbound close by the West Seattle Bridge turnoff... beats me!
mybluebelly Yea seattle is so terrible.
I’m actually gonna be moving to your moms basement in kansas with you.
@@thewiezman CHAZ/CHOP and the multiple people murdered by the self appointed police of the Communist commune was pretty fucking terrible.
@@thewiezman You should be so lucky, stay where you are,no one wants you.
Awesome movie! Always wanted a Trans-Am after watching it. LoL.. The Duke could barely fit in it.. Man..I miss those days..
Notice they show don' t him trying to get out of it? Plus in the alley scene when the car was crushed he said he was soaked in gas then later he' s in the hospital dry as a bone and the dope was dry at the impound yard. The magic of the movies
He was a big Duke!😅😅
When the Duke says, "Get outta that truck!" The best advice would be to GET OUTTA THAT TRUCK!!!
My doctor's office is in the building where the chase starts. It was the original VA hospital in Seattle and for a while around the start of the 21st Century, it was the HQ for Amazon.
Trans Am. GTO. Grand Prix. Formula Firebird. The 60s and 70s when Pontiacs were cool before some asshole on Meth at GM came out with the Aztek and Solstice and ruined it all
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Wish you could have spoken these words from your lips to God's ears! Pontiacs were cool.
Whenever I drive my SD-455 Trans Am, I always wear a navy blue blazer with a pale yellow dress shirt.
Hi Brian, I had an 1974 SD_455 all white Trans Am back in 1976. I loved that car, never been beat, on the street.
As you should....
Outstanding
Awesome!
From the sound of the motor, to the jump, to the motorcycle crash...very Bullitt-esque,,,a Firebird instead of a Mustang.
In an interview, Clint Eastwood said that Dirty Harry was almost filmed in Seattle but was switched to San Francisco mainly because he’s from there! This is a good movie
Is very true John was supposed to have played dirty Harry but passed in the role he later regretted. And when Clint came on board they changed San Francisco for filming film location
Seattle looks so much like San Francisco. And so proud of my 73 Trans -am and yes it's a SD-455 4sp Buccaneer red.
Check chp magazine 1979 'they chased one road to vegas..they lost five cars one tire blew out another hood pooped up..another blew engine..the fourth i believe spun out..lasy ran out of fuel...oh guy in pontiac did it with lights out nite ...fact ...
That Vancouver exit was always incredibly busy back in the day.
2:08......same engine sound when Steve McQueen is doing his chase in Bullitt in the Mustang.
His T/A is a similar color of green to McQueen's Mustang too.
The rt challenger from vanishing point.
Also used in the 7 ups.
This is fun to watch and try to figure out where they are if you’ve lived in Seattle. The route doesn’t quite make sense haha.
You are so right. But all movie chases are that way. As I recall from seeing it in the 70s, they jump to the beach scenes from Seattle to Longbeach/Seaview area in the blink of an eye, LOL
That he would drive through back alleys instead of just hopping on the highway and revving it to 150 mph and catch the guy in 12 seconds doesn't really make sense either.
Nothing in downtown except post alley. University bridge , bridge to beacon hill over dearborn, ballard, elliot ave north. A cinematic chase thru seattle. There is a john wayne marina outside Sequim. Where he spent time.
It's the same watching Dirty Harry drive through San Francisco :P It's fun to recognize places, but you're always left wondering "how'd he go from there to there?"
I lived on Sturgis/Charles where he "jumps" his Trans Am. The chase isn't 100% contiguous by reality's standards but isn't too bad. Love this.
I like that McQ looks scared while he's driving crazy. Realistic portrayal by John..
McQ. Not John Wayne's best acting performance, but his most underrated action movie ever.
rewatched McQ cinematography holds the story well as do the action sequence underrated J Sturges picture.
Seattle could use John Wayne right about now.
Seattle needs a new City Council. Sawant can leave first.
AMERICA could use John Wayne right now, but he can start in Seattle.
Yeah, that will make people trust cops.
Isn't that the truth and Dirty Herry?
Let the man rest in peace, he isn't a part of our nonsense.
Badass Actor & a Badass Car!
Hell ya !
The brick building at the beginning is now the VA Hospital on Beacon Hill. At about 2.00 he's chasing the van south. The van is on I-5, Wayne is on Airport Way, or it might be 6th Ave South. At 3.02 they are both on I-5 Northbound, Wayne using the Dearborn onramp. Movie magic.
THANK YOU ! I AM IN AUBURN AND WILL BE GOING DOWNTOWN TOMOROW...YOUR POST WILL HELP ME WITH PARKING...DIDN'T THE LADIE SCREAMING AT WAYNE SEEM RUDE FOR 1974 SEATTLE
@Jerrol Hale I worked down there too for awhile. It sure has changed. I was at SWP on 6th S. How about you?

Looks like my grandma going out for groceries.
Great Actor, Great Car, legendary Director that forgot continuity! In this scene the car goes from clean to dirty to polished at 3:54 and back to dirty again! Classic Hollywood!
I'm just dropping in to say that I won't be watching this. I cry every time I see the trucks smash that beautiful Firebird to death in the alley.
0:55 " Are you crazy?!?" ----Not as crazy as those panty lines on that @ss , right gang ?
Thank you!
I miss this Seattle! Try filming a car chase in 2020!
Try getting across town without incident.
Please, let's have a lot of car chases here...maybe run over a bunch of Antifa/BLM rioters; we need that herd thinned out!
Or dodging the homeless druggies on the streets.
Woman driver: "Are you crazy"
McQ: "Yes i am. Does that answer your question"
I love, Love, LOVE his Firebird. That was a beautiful car. They didn't ride worth a damn and stock models really weren't that fast but they sure looked GREAT. I laughed every time they used that Dirty Harry magnum sound effect when he'd fire his revolver. That was so classic for this period.
That look on his face when he noticed a second truck behind him......😅
Gotta love John Wayne behind the wheel of that 455
0:25 Firing at fleeing suspects with a truck in the background full of compressed gas cylinders loaded with oxygen. It even says "Oxygen" on the side of the truck. What could possibly go wrong?
With all that coke, it would have been snowing in Seattle.
Man, does that Firebird sound lovely. ❤
Makes me cry a little to see them destroy a car that would now fetch over $100K. (I'm guessing on the price. I have no idea. I owned several 2nd gen T/As long ago, and I miss them.)
Not an SD
This movie is GOLD . Love it
Van turns out to be a real laundry van.
McQ: "Why'd you run?"
Van driver: "I thought..."
McQ: "What!"
Van driver: "I thought you were some kind of nut!"
McQ: [Sigh] "Maybe I am."
I drive a Trans Am.
@Mike n Lu
StFU
What year and what package?
@Amadeus Eisenberg
Ditto!
@@johna.4334 👍🇦🇺
@iBiana Doubt
What a bunch of bullcrap!
Someone needs to do a McQ tribute Firebird build.
I think Year One did and put twin turbos on it.
Can NEVER go wrong with the Duke
Damn right !
'73 Trans AM SD + John "The Duke" Wayne = Middle age crisis
in my book one of the coolest couples in movie history
Sorry, no Super Duty engines in any of the Trans Ams. All three cars were powered by the standard L75 455.
I suspect it was due to getting some of the Dirty Harry love. They originally offered DH to Frank Sinatra. He had done several cop/detective movies and passed. They offered it to John Wayne and when he found out Frank passed on it said he didn't want Sinatra's cast-offs. Eastwood did it and I suspect that's why Wayne did McQ and Branningan.
@@ricpratt6584 Lol.... and all the V8 sound effects are from a Mopar Big Block (sounds like they pulled all the effects from the Vanishing Point Challenger and Bullitt Charger). Trans Am's never sounded like that -- they had their own distinct growl.
To Tsar Bomba:In other postings related to Clint getting the Dirty Harry role Steve McQueen,Paul Newman & yes John Mitchum's(Frank DiGeorgio)Robert all passed on playing Dirty Harry.Those guys couldn't have done the role justice the way Cint did.
I would love that car now 😎
My grandfather took me to see this movie in a theater. I was 12.😥
You had one cool grandpa.
I was 8
The Duke driving a Pontiac Firebird? How badass is that?
I wonder if John Wayne chose this car? 73 Trans Am brewster green 😍
Funny seeing all the older cars.
When movies Were Movies. The Duke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Little known fact---the Duke did all his stunt driving himself . An associate Producer tried to dissuade him , and got an uppercut to the chops for a reply . The rest , as they say , is cinematic history .
Totally untrue.It's a combination of the Duke,Hal Needham and Gary McLarty driving
John Wayne hit a guy for suggesting a stunt driver? I hope that’s not true, and that we’re talking metaphorically. I always thought Wayne was smarter than that. 😕
@@karlmortoniv2951 It's not true
Urban myth!! Bogus.
He didn’t do his own stunts and with his health he couldn’t do everything himself anyway. He didn’t have cancer then but he had problems with breathing as he only had one lung after had lung cancer in 1964 and relied on oxygen for years. John Wayne was also 66 years old during filming of this film.
I want that car! Firebird "McQ Edition". This was the movie Wayne made after he turned down "Dirty Harry". After it was a hit, he had his people come up with this. I wish he had done this sooner. By this time he was on 1 lung and his third toupee.
He was too old at this point for Dirty Harry. I'm glad he turned it down. Clint was perfect for that role.
Didn’t they also ask Frank Sinatra to play the role of Dirty Harry?
McQ is awesome driving that Trans Am.
Luv John Wayne but his gun safety is horrible
The only fault of this clip was when The Duke was under the highway the FB got very dirty. At first the dust and dirt stuck to the car. The next clip it was clean as a whistle.
Those early trans-ams are worth big money today.
Man, that was a cool looking 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am John Wayne was driving! That one was equipped with the Super Duty 455 Cubic Inch V-8! I cringed when they wrecked it!😖
73 SD cars were super rare and hard to get back then. I know because I tried. Word was that they favored regular Pontiac buyers to get an SD order filled. If this movie car was an SD, it would be 1 of 180 such cars, being an automatic. The odds are heavily against that.
An old Lt from SPD said this movie captured the spirit of the times pretty well.
Any Seattle local knows this chase is total bullshit. He essentially goes in the opposite direction of the van, and then returns to the ramp where he started, which no longer exists today. Still entertaining. "Great" acting.
Zim I was thinking the same thing while watching it lol
It’s entertaining isn’t it pilgrim!
@@richardkronberg4925 Of course it is. One of the best worst movies ever. I watched it at least 20 times. Excellent music.
First off, why is the Duke carrying a snub nose .38! (I know, the .44 mag was already taken) Second, why isn't this movie shown more often (AMC, TNT) you've got the ultimate man's man off his horse and in the city doing quite well; I think he was as much in his element in the city as on the plains.
I think this is what he took out of the trunk when he had to hand over his 357 for the "inquest" when he shot the hitman. But in the beginnining of the clip, it looked more like a 2.5" Model 19. He could have used different prop guns too. That is common.
GREAT UNFORGETTABLE DUKE.
McQ couldn't drive that fast through the center of town now on the route he took because today's traffic would never let him.
Love these movies with the duke when he was older as my grandfather was 6ft 4 and the image of him, wasn’t quite the same in his Volvo lol
I kind of enjoy the heroes a bit when they get older. It’s a bit more interesting.
They are forever badass from time and experience, but their belly is bigger, their knees are shot, their stamina isn’t great. They have to improvise more. Any fight they are in, they either have to end with one punch or use a weapon.
You know it is them...it’s just different
Seattle native here. Its really cool to see old 60s I-5. He took the longest route possible to get three on ramps from where he started from the hospital. Lol!
Great film Great car chase
Throughout the movie this car was called The Green hornet and it lived up to its name rest well John Wayne
That is one pretty Pontiac.
Wayne was a legend. He could have lived more. How sad.
KCPQ-TV (Ch 13) seemed to promote this film all the time, back in the early '80s, when they were still a local independent station and not affiliated with particular network, and life was considerably better here in the Pacific Northwest than what it's become.
I prefer to see big body cars in 70's car chase scenes....Chrysler New Yorker vs. Mercury Grand Marquis Brougham or Lincoln Continental vs Cadillac El Dorado or Ford LTD Landau vs Oldsmobile Regency.
I notice they used the same sound effect for Wayne's revolver as in Dirty Harry 😉
Seems like really high quality footage for 1974. Looks like it was filmed in HD this year!
2:40 you see the same 'seat belt' billboard (different location of course) during a chase in "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry"
The Duke racing through town in a Firebird, gotta love it 👍
Always cool to see the Duke in action.
Wayne's thinking" I was born in 1907, I can handle this!!" John Wayne. 1907- 1979. This movie was made in 1974.
Anyone else notice that this is the ONLY John Wayne movie where he shoots someone in the back (while they run away too).
It’s not this scene but an earlier one. I remember first time I saw that I was shocked lol
He's totally unbelievable as a fast car driver...he looks scared silly.
Kinda like you talking to a woman ?
1973 formula with a sd 455. They came with a shaker instead of a formula hood .
