I had an Argentinian Ford Falcon Futura Sedan '66 (in Argentina it was always 4 doors), 188 cc. But I used it little and had to sold it because I didn't have the budget to repair it ... it was a great car.
@@milfordcivic6755 '59s still had the flathead 6 standard. They could be optioned with a V8. And I don't think those in the chase were actually 6s the way they were burning rubber!
I love that movie, Mad Mad World, I could watch it now and enjoy it. I grew up where it was filmed. Watching it is like a window into the past. The Pike and Rainbow Pier in downtown Long Beach and the Big "W" in Palos Verdes, great stuff. The old Plymouths were so heavy, you could make a dozen Corollas out of one hood!!!
One of the greatest movies ever!!! My favorite part was when they held Ethel Merman upside down & shook her til the car keys fell out of her brassiere 😁
I love the old cars in this movie, although it does hurt a bit when they bang them up. Ouch! The musical score for this movie couldn't have been more perfect.
@@kenmanx1298 I learned to drive on my dad's '74 Pontiac Parisienne and my uncle's '71 Mercury Grand Marquis, and I can recall my dad's '63 Impala like it was yesterday. I know EXACTLY what these pigs handle like. "Smooth, comfortable, powerful and exciting" describes my current C7 and my former '12 Boss 302, rather than these cars.
I've always loved this movie. But what I really enjoy is the early 1960s colors and architecture of everything. This was during a time when 1950s style and philosophy trickled its way into the 60s before creating its own identity halfway into the decade. The bright colors of the buildings, the ornate fonts on the signs and advertising, the American land yachts dominating the streets. It looked like such a great time to live in, besides the racial divide. I was definitely born in the wrong decade.
I can tell you about 59 Plymouths, plenty of power but oh my gawd the steering sucks like a farm tractor, steering wheels as large as a 55 gallon barrel, and brakes were always shitty!!! So to see a driver whip it left then whip it right to complete a high speed right turn is fukn AMAZING!!! Now new cars simply turn right and drift into the curves effortlessly. Bravo to these real men stunt drivers!!!
Still a great movie going to watch it again now in lock down. Thank you so much Spencer Tracy Milton Berle Sid Caesar Buddy Hackett Ethel Merman Mickey Rooney Dick Shawn Phil Silvers Terry-Thomas Jonathan Winters Edie Adams Dorothy Provine Jimmy Durante
This was Kramer's only comedy and it was brilliant! These car chases are hilarious! They really tied down the suspensions on those cars. That "park" where the "big W" was (where Silvers gets out of his car at the beginning of this clip) is actually a private residence and remnants of the palm trees are still visible in the ground there.
You know how awesome it would be to drive a old boat like that not worrying about repair costs or how you’re destroying a priceless classic and just trying to have fun
I like it. Nowadays nobody drives those old cars rough. You don't see it anymore. With the millions that got crushed, what's a few hundred more for a few movies?
Alexandre Sousa it’s not that bad, when this movie was made these cars would only be a few years old it would be like wrecking cars from 2016, but I am with you it is a little hard to watch.
@@MaximillionBucks To be fair, most modern cars wouldn't have to mount the curb in the first place, as they actually handle well and would leave these things in the dust.
Just imagine these cars with modern power and suspension upgrades. Nothing wrong with being original but with those upgrades, they'd be an automotive art piece really.
Dear lord. I'm a MOPAR guy but I love all cars. I straight up forgot how baller Chrystlers suspension was compared to everyone else back in the day. Before the 70s hit and commercials were about flash and awe everyone was selling these technological infomercials showing and comparing how their vehicles functioned. MOPAR always focused on torque heavy motors more than ford which liked to see the higher hp numbers and Chevy which liked to be either here or there but at least in the middle - nothing wrong with any of the design styles, just an engineering difference of what one company though would be the ideal engine. But the suspension, in the 60s Chrysler went allllllll out with that shit. And what might look like a mile of body roll to you at 35-45mp to you is a total fucking trainwreck of suspension work to a normal sedan today. Not saying that normal sedan have worse suspensions, no, but back then cars kinda operated on way and had to be designed to do that. Back then your grocery getter was totally capable of roasting the tire, pulling 102, then dropping down and rolling to make a 40mp intersection power slide bc we hadn't considered the idea of building a vehicle simply to get you to work now with tight control and ease of use they way we did then. 75 year old 5000ish lbs vehicles that can just rip, even at "slow" speeds of 30mph? Get in your new ford fusion, climb up to 30mph the just take a right in the the intersection without braking while punching the gas. 30mph gets waaay to fast waaay too quick
I saw this movie in a theater in Baker City when dinosaurs still roamed the planet. First time I laughed so hard I hurt myself. If you want a blast from the past, this is it. Best cast ever.
When I first saw that movie in 1965, I almost had to leave the theater because my jaw hurt so bad from laughing. I sure miss all the cool cars on the street...
For added realism set playback speed to .75 to get a better idea of how these behemoths once roamed America's highways. Chase footage used to be routinely sped up to add tension until the cars actually started reaching higher speeds.
Chrysler Australia's equivalent to the Dodge was the Valiant. Up until 1976 Valiant was regarded as the make instead of the model. Then Chrysler lettering appeared on the cars and Valiant was the.base model and Regal became the deluxe model.
@@jamesfrench7299 James the '62 Dart was a B-body car, bigger and completely different from the Valiant. The Dodge (USA) equivalent of the Valiant in '62 was called the Lancer, and then they renamed it Dart the next year. Love the Aussie mopars!
It starts in Palos Verdes then San Pedro and finally Long Beach. I was not born in this era but it stayed pretty much the same until the late 80s when the oil pumps started disappearing, Long Beach got rid of it's xxx theaters and palos verdes peninsula got really expensive and exclusive.
The whole movie is a car chase with every comedic actor alive in 1963 in it. Pure movie gold!

These '59 Plymouths were pretty light by modern standards - full size cars, but they were only about 3,500lbs, not far off from a modern midsize.
They’re not heavy at all, especially by today standards

Was about to say he cut it pretty close there youd never see that nowadays
Holy shit same!
That dude ran in the wrong direction....😂😂
That was buster Lennon. Yah.
Yep
2:47 To be an actor, this had got to be the most damn daring stunt to pull having to run in front of a speeding car to avoid getting hit.
Holy shit, came to the comment to say the same thing, crazy people!
I think in real life it was even closer than it looked...
@@ercopi9534 Yeah. Especially for the actor while performing that.
Many of those scenes were actually sped up to give the illusion that they are driving faster than they are

Nah I don't think so.. The first First Fast and Furious from 2002 brought back that old school car chase essence!!!!
This film used up almost the entire available stunt community for America in the early 1960s.
The camera it the car seen weight 18 thousand pounds bwaaa haaaaa
When I was a kid I loved this movie because it was funny. Now I also love it because of how amazing the stunt work was.
I’m in my 20s and I grew up watching this movie as one of my favorite movies. Still is! Great classic
I was expecting one of those corny car chases but Damn this was pretty good!
I'm simply amazed with early 1960's tech and car brakes that no one was killed in this production!
Most of em had drum brakes too
People who didn't live through this era don't realize these cars worked just fine.
@@edpoe4622exactly
A great movie. I watch it every time it comes back on the TV.
Love those old Plymouth Savoys.
Yes from " It's a Mad, Mad World." Filmed on the Pacific Coast Highway, and streets in Long Beach, CA.
Yep, @ 2:29 the intersection of East 9th St and Long Beach Blvd, before metro rail, can be seen.
Great stunt work in this movie. Some of the best car chases of any movie.

1961 Falcon 4 door sedan. Probably had the 144 cubic inline-6 with a 3 speed on tree.

Actually, those 1959 Plymouths are only a few hundred pounds heavier than a modern Corolla, despite being two size classes larger
Wish I could drive these boats like that. Wish I had these cars.

I have not seen this movie in probably 45-50 years. Recognized it almost immediately.
I never seen this movie before, the cars look amazing.
_every_ car was harmed in the making of this movie
That guy at 2:47 had his life flash before his eyes
I just realized something when the video starts that part of the Town looks like GTA 5
Came here to see it. More locations actually
I know right
Los Santos is based on a little known city in real life called Los Angeles. Lol
Because it is
In the beginning, where Franklin follows Lamar
' 59 Plymouth cabs, ' 62 Dodge Dart plain police car, and other assorted vehicles of that time.
This is up there in my all time favourite movies list! Classic chase scene
For 1963 this is some hella high budget movie, very very high budget.
I love the old cars in this movie, although it does hurt a bit when they bang them up. Ouch!
The musical score for this movie couldn't have been more perfect.
That's one of my favorite movies. ;-D
Drum brakes and bias ply tires with tubes......very brave
When men were men and cars were steel!
The power part had been sorted, but the rest still needed work.
Another great representation on why the 59 Plymouth fury / belvedere is a great car to play the heavy in a car chase scene
And Savoy and Plaza
Nice to watch a car chase that doesn’t suffer from a thousand edit cuts.
Cars with fins🥰 Can’t we make cars like that again please.
Its a mad, mad,mad,mad world. All star cast! Great classic movie. Watch it, you wont regret it.
