- MFP is proud to present 10 vehicles moments that made our jaws drop in one form of amazement or another. Though some of these scenes may be more popular than others and vise-versa, this list is based on the WTF factor, be it in disbelief or enthusiasm. MFP has based this list on its own opinion of film and television related vehicle subjects. Enjoy.

The building to building jump in "Furious 7" was first done in "Black Moon Rising" from 1986.
The stunt driver who drove the Bluesmobile launching out of Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago to hit the police car's emergency lights initially told Dan Ackroyd that he could launch out of the ramp but probably not clear the squad car. Ackroyd told the driver he'd give him $1000 if he could clear the car and hit the lights. Sure enough...
That jump in BMR was epic. Not many even remember that movie.
Christine...my favorite car movie of all time. 1950s Detroit Steel will always look like works of art!
Um NO lmfao 😂🤣😂 Not even close did you not actually watch the movie 😂🤣😂
Yes!!! Christine is my all time favourite
@@wolfnightfire242 Please explain.
@@karina3783 Agreed!
@@wolfnightfire242 dude...wtf are you even saying..ive watched this movie since I was 4 years old. 1958 Fury but really is a Plymouth Belvedere. Because Furys were 4 door cars and did not come in red. My question to you, do you even know what your actually saying when the hat mouth h opens up? I mean it when I say Christine is my all time favorite movie..because it is.
Gotta mention the Wraith when talking about car movies. The Wraith and Christine, 2 of my favorites.
Pretty sure that Chuck Norris scene was 100% real. Because it's Chuck Norris.
He used a double. You should have known.
Chuck Norris didn't drive his truck to escape...
The truck jumped out of the ground because it was scared of Chuck Norris. 😁
In a scene cut from the original movie (but available as an "extra" in some special edition DVDs) Elwood parks the "Bluesmobile" in an electrical sub-station near his home. The car's seemingly "special powers" are inferred by whatever special energy it absorbs from the large humming transformers nearby.
I think 2 WTF moments missing from the list are the "barrel roll" jump from the 1974 Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun" and the rocket car jump from Burt Reynold's 1978 movie "Hooper"
Another great video MFP.
And again, through your hard work you are bringing films to the surface that viewers may not of heard of.
Thank you very much. Much appreciated.
@@MFPMapFilmProductions I know you are not from the US, but when speaking about old American cars, the engines are referred to in cubic inches. For example the engine that was supposedly in Christine was a 350 CID not a 5.7L.
@@mexicanspec I interchange. I do say Cubic Inches as well as Litres in different circumstances.
It's STRANGE!! The way people drive today is similar to the movie: DEATH RACE 2000!
Agreed, and I'm out there on a motorcycle dealing with all those idiots in cars that are too busy texting to use their turn signals.

To: Duke Craig--
I feel you, Brother. While I never learned or rode a motorcycle, I will never understand why people buy NEW vehicles and WON'T or don't use turn signals! I've been driving legally since 1978 when I was 18, but it seems to me that people get their license from Cracker Jack boxes or some type of Vending Machine. No consideration for anyone! But on the flip side, their are cyclists who do crazy things with those Crotch Rockets too which I have seen up close riding in my Jeep! I'm not saying that it's you, but there are Idiots driving idiotic no matter what the size, 2, 4 or 18 wheels.
@@derricklogan2058
I know, I'm constantly shaking my head in traffic watching people turn without using their turn signals and everytime I see it I think to myself "You know that's not a dealer installed option, it's original equipment for a reason".
What's probably even worse are people who put their turn signals on just as they start to turn, in that case I think to myself "Well it's a little late for that, I've already figured out what you're doing".
I never even heard of this #1 WTF scene much less of "Lone Wolf McQuade" ever. To see how silly the unburying of himself in his car was so ridiculous. LMAO! Excellent, well-edited, and entertaining video. Hat's off to you! Peace!
Cheers mate. Ha ha. Yeah, its well worth the whole movie. Chuck plays it so straight and its so much fun in every way. To this day, if this movie plays in theaters, the crowd often cheer on this scene. Even when people who know its cheesy see it for the first time like I have shared in the past see it, they just burst out laughing and enjoy the cheese all the way. Which was kinda the point. Either way, it is so much fun.
@@MFPMapFilmProductions Another for the list of Chuck Norris memes, I suppose...
Black Moon Rising; an all but forgotten 1986 film written by John Carpenter (partially), starring Linda Hamilton, Tommy Lee Jones and Richard Jaeckel; in the climatic scene they jump a car from one high rise building to another 30 floors up (and way before Fast & Furious did it). The vehicle was a Canadian concept car and the movie is definitely a child of the 80's but it's a fun popcorn movie and that stunt is cool.
I always like what the highway cop, in 'The Blues Brothers' says when he sees them drive through the mall:
"It's that shitbox Dodge!"
Lone Wolf McQuade is one of my favorite Chuck Norris movies aside from the three Missing in Action movies and Code of Silence, both in which he played in
Really loving this channel. I also want to say that's a great picture of Connery with the Aston. Keep up the great work 👍
Cheers. Thank you. Hope I can keep up this effort for people to enjoy.
One of the best stunts that showed that some stunts can be done for real was the barge jump in "White Lightening"...Hal Needham created a memorable jump that was not some fantasy stunt.
Props to ya for giving exposure to the Taxi films, most folk swerve it because of their fear of subtitles. The first two are quality, pure escapism, just the right side of daft to carry it off, like a Ronin that doesn't take itself seriously.
Cheers. I am looking to give it more attention in the future. Might make in on other lists or subjects such a my Screen Chassis or Brake Downs videos.
@@MFPMapFilmProductions 2 low budget car chase flicks you should have a look at
- Hi-Riders 1978 , it's on vimeo for free
- Action USA 1989
I've never seen the movie Christine, but the more I see about it, the more I'm glad I read the book instead. It sounds so much more underwhelming as a movie. Reading, the spider crack on the windshield got smaller... is strange. Hearing about Arnie having back pains only to find out he pushed the car and it healed as it was in motion. The shop owner Arnie's been working illegal jobs on the side for, witnessing the car driving into the shop and then inspecting it to see Arnie was never there... To the ungodly way it leveled a house, and pursued the bullies in a Camaro without so much as sliding through the corner... Well, just read the book, it's terrifying and captivating even for a person who doesn't typically read books.
Oh Scott! Watch the movie. I’ve done both, and while I love the book more the movie did her justice.
Books are always going to be better than the movie 99% of the time, but the movie is still definitely worth a watch.
@@chrishawkins32014 👍👍
That detour around the elderly patients and into the doctors and nursers was hilarious.
They had 10 Plymouth furies in Christine. 4 were 57s with the big and small headlights. They were all painted Ford red and white. 1 was the clunker Arnie first buys. 3 had the paint schemes so it looked like the car was repainting itself. The wrecked ones in different scenes were used in the scenes where Christine is demolished or hit .Only one was in great condition. The rebuilding scene itself was shot in reverse so it would look like was fixing itself.
6:42 I am french and I know the " Taxi " Peugot 406 background well. The 406 was a Supertouring champion Car at that time an won championship all over europe, performed very well in England ( Featured also in first Toca Race games ). The Peugeot was surprising because like in the film it went superior on german competiting cars... Which is unusual ! But since Group B in Rally, Peugeot shown particular skills over german cars in competition. In Taxi, the car as an actual modified Supertouring bodykit with wheels so a genuine racing look ! In the movie it says that the Car is equiped with the V6 that was a very capable engine but with a bit low rpm and low end torque ( more a highway cruising engine capable of towing caravans ) ... But in fact for the highway chases they actually used a real Supertouring model equiped the 1.9L 16v inline 4 Peugeot racing engine that is prepared to achieve more than 300 hp at screaming rpms ! Engine noise in the movies are the genuine one for this engine. So " Taxi " ( especially the first film) is actually a legitimate featuring race car with real power skills !
The entire chase sequence in the film "Short Time" was filmed in and around Vancouver British Columbia Canada. The section featuring the double decked road, is Front Street in New Westminster. The section of Front used is also know as Antiques Alley and is less than 1/4 mile long, and they made multiple runs from different angles to get it all in. It was interesting to watch from the slight rise across the street.
I think it's a crime everyone always misses the car from Condor Man
🤔 tell me more?
I know, right? Though to be fair, I would have called it a Disney-fied rip-off of the Bond Lotus... with a much, MUCH smaller fanbase :P
wow, a lot of new subscribers... ( o.o)
congratz, man!
Thanks man. Yeah, its going well. Gives more more energy to keep going seeing how much people like my work.
Cool choices, my favourite is the Taxi film the moped scene near the start.
How did Herbie not make this list
Another great video, keep em coming
The city bus sequence in "The Gauntlet" was pretty WTF. As was the helicopter flying under the bridge in T2, since it was a practical stunt and not CGI.
"The Gauntlet" Great movie.
That kit for the Vette was SHARP!!!
NIGHTMARES
segment
BENEDICTION
a black truck jumps out of the ground
LANCE HENRIKSON
is in it
What about lethal weapon. Where the dualy rips down the house on stilts
I still laugh hard at the blues brothers scene you highlight here every time.
"I've always loved you." LOL!
I get the weirdest ads nowadays... It was Rexnord lumber mill equipment and Lenco armored trucks today.
Also, fun fact: Christine was a 4-door sedan in the book. They couldn't find one exactly like her for the movie, as a lot of Plymouth sedans became police vehicles or taxi cabs, and were used to destruction.
Did you buy the truck though?
That is not why they didn't use a 4 door. Stephen King didn't know the Fury didn't come in a 4 door model that year so they had to go with the 2 door version. I think he was dead set on sticking with the Fury name.
Fun fact. Wet Nelly is still alive and being restored by Elon Musk
I didn't hear his name in the story I saw.I was gonna mention it was "found" after forever and was meticulously restored
Best car movie: Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry!
Learn something new every time! Taxi is now at the top of my list!
I just bought a Ramcharger body for my 1/10 scale RC crawler, and I was thinking about painting it like Lone Wolf Mcquade's Ramcharger.
Most of these movies are so bad that they're actually good and that's why they're in my DVD collection
Edit: the Fast & Furious franchise sucked
check HI-RIDERS (1978) lots of muscle car chases
😂😂😂😂
@2:56 is an Australian 318 Fireball, the US didn't use that name on the LA series V8.
The black pickup truck that shoots out of the ground in the 1983 movie "Nightmares" was also a memorable scene.
Where is Cobra and To Live and Die in L.A.? They are spectacular scenes.
Thank you for the video. Have a great day.
Cobra..not a car movie...
@@thetreblerebel Neither was "The Blues Brothers, Short Time, The Spy Who Loved Me, Ferris Bueller's Day Off or Lone Wolf McQuade"
THE SHOW ME MOMENT CHRISTINE IS NOT A WTF MOMENT ITS A GREAT MOMENT
For me my biggest WTF moment was not feature movie, but an archive footage from 80's rally: sea of people stands the road, spreads just enough to let the car pass, suddenly all you can hear is deafening sound of non-damped turbocharged engine, car buzzes them so close they could reach and touch it if they wanted to, sound fades away and crowd closes the gap. They looked more like worshippers than fans. Mindblowing scene, and it happened for real!
WOW is the footage online?
I didn't know christine had the 350 engine, now I do thank you. Love that movie.
15:47 "As if the concept of physics and gravitation has no meaning". This is Chuck effin Norris we're talking about. Physics and gravity don't dare mess with Chuck. Where have you been narrator???
58 plymouth fury is me dream car
ME TO
It was a four door in the book. The movie it was mostly Plymouth Belvederes because they were two door coupés. And Furys did not come in red either
I drove one of these and it truly was a great car
No H.B. Halicki ? Surely an oversight !
I loved the fact in The Blues Brothers when it shows the Dodge's speedo at 120mph driving under the bridges it was actually going that fast.
The opening scene from 'the other guys' is another wtf car movie moment
Taxi is a guilty pleasure.
Interesting story about the 007 lotus. Lotus wanted to get their cars into a bond film and left a similar esprit outside the office for a week until someone senior noticed it and thought it would be great for bond.
You have to mention megaforce with its flying bike too
I’m relieved to hear that the Ferrari 250 GT in the movie ‘Ferris Bueller’ was actually a replica. Because as a car lover I actually got physically nauseous seeing that beautiful Ferrari being destroyed at the end of the movie.
Chuck Norris: "Get me a beer, Ensign from the future."
The French Connection has a hair-raising car scene, too, where Gene Hackett's Popeye Doyle is chasing the train under the elevated rails, somehow narrowly missing a number of cars on the way.
Yes. That chase will eventually make its way on another video. Most likely on a Top 10 list, if not, on a Brake Downs video (More than likely) discussing the chase in greater depth. Feel free to Sub to keep up to date on new videos. Cheers.
He didn't miss all of the cars!
@@steveluckhurst2350 Hey! It was still drivable! In car chase terms, that makes it a miss. ;)
@@Blackferret66 ooh. debatable as it wasn't planned. An innocent bystander as I recall. Good call though, great chase. Almost totally shot on the fly with no permits etc.
Whilst the Lotus is a worthy entry, how could you go past the corkscrew jump in Man with the Golden Gun? Even though its one of the greatest stunts in history I'd still classify it as WTF
You hit the nail on the head. Its a stunt worthy of another Top 10 list that will get don't in the future. ;)
12:15 Austin Martin? Lol. Also your pronunciation of Peugeot is yet another new interpretation!
Uh, how do you pronounce Peugeot? That's the way I've always pronounced it and everyone I worked with at the dealership that sold them pronounced it too.
@@1967davethewave His clipped second syllable at 8:05 was a bit odd but certainly within the range of acceptable ways to pronounce Peugeot. I prefer a longer o sound ie Purr Joe, but depending on where you are from and the language you speak, YMMV
@@jashugg Oh, I see.
i knew the blues brothers car will made into this list. 😀
They’re on a mission from god.
Never heard of the TAXI movie series...thanks.
Avoid the dreadful American remake though.
check The Transporter while on it, first movie is absolutely fantastic
The Chrysler LA 360 driven by Chuck Norris gains an extra 450 horsepower just by him sitting in the car!
I have a chatty chitty bang bang toy car from when I was a kid in 60s . Push a button,wings pop out,all pieces are surprisingly still there and in great condition. Also have original Batmobile with the little rockets that shoot out when you press down on suspension.
Chitty chitty bang bang was a huge part of my childhood
Merci pour la vidéo ❤❤😅👍
I love Death Race 2000
I remember the Intermission from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, our mom and dad took us to see it in 1969 at the Birmingham Odeon. We were convinced that it was going to crash.
Great content. Congrats on inventing a new word too… ‘demolishment’. Try out ‘demolished’. Great films in this list and yes Mad Max would have topped it off and ‘Cannonball Run’ 😀
Cheers. If I as an Aussie cannot make new words, then am I not actually part of the problem? ;)
For a future list, you might check out the driving scene from the c. 1990 horror movie "Body Parts" where the passenger in Car A is handcuffed to the driver of Car B. It's insane! The director, Eric Red, has posted it here on youtube.
F&F movies "teeter on the razor's edge of reality" in their car stunts? No, I'd say reality got shaved clean away after the first installment.
Death Race 2000 Was The First Time A 12 Year Old Saw... Boo Bees ...👍👍
No mention of anything from the Mad Max Frachise?
You can find several videos on my channel about Mad Max. One, a in depth documentary about the Black Pursuit Special and the other a breakdown of the chase.
Good movie with allot of original content. Some of my favourite car scenes Mad Max 1 and the caravan crash. Bullet Steve as he accelerates away after the big slide and Cannonball similiar. The Cars that ate Paris for something very different.
I need to catch up on ALL MOVIES in this Video!
Two words...The Car. :D
The movie "The Car", basically the devil in four wheel disguise, should be on this list. Definitely WTF.
You will find that movie on my top 10 horror cars.
Strangely didn't make the list but honourable mention should go to at least a couple of scenes from 'The Car', one where it flies through Lauren's house - stunning scene - and the other where the car spins, flips and tumbles over the two police cars, a genuine non-CGI stunt that really does deserve a WTF moment!
No mention of The Ronin ? surely one of the best car chase scenes where they used RHD cars with fake LHD steering wheels and stunt drivers on the Right hand side out of shot leaving Robert DeNiro and Natascha McElhone to do acting driving on the Left
About #7, A way better Movie with that scene was, Black Moon Rising (1986). okay in that movie car did not drive out the other side, to it death.
I'm almost surprised you didn't include the movie Collision Course. No, not the Crocodile Hunter movie, the one with Jay Leno and Pat Morita tearing around in a gold Toyota Tercel hatchback with an experimental turbocharger. Also, Pat Morita jump-kicking the driver of a moving car through the windshield.
There's only so many you can put in a top ten, you know, like TEN!!! There are other videos that highlight all the other car movies like "Gumball Rally" and "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry".
I don't know if you have ever covered it on this channel, but in the early 2000s, BMW put out a series of short films featuring Clive Owen as a reckless personal driver. They are essentially long commercials, but the driving is very impressive, especially funny is the one directed by Luc Besson with Madonna as a spoiled celebrity getting the ride of her life
That particular entry was directed by Guy Ritchie. Incidentally he was her husband at the time.
@@deezer5150 Yes, which makes it even funnier while watching her tossed around the car.
@@AdolphisMalomar Exactly!
In Short Time the car doesn't change to a Canadian Plymouth Caravelle. It's a Plymouth Grand Fury which were also used as police cars
The info gathered suggests a Plymouth Caravelle was used instead. All and all, its confusing in that there are like 3-4 cars that look the same yet have different allocations in regions and countries.
@@MFPMapFilmProductions since the car chase was filmed in Canada it probably is. Here in the states the Plymouth Caravelle was a crappy fwd E body, and the Caravelle 400 was a K car.
"Christine" is not a horror movie. It's a love story. Arnie + Christine = Luv 4 ever.
Nicely done
Thank you very much.
"Ronin" best car chase scene in a movie - I would think a guy whipping out an RPG would have made a WTF moment but hey your list bud, a good one
"The Great Escape" best motorcycle scene in a movie
Some other added moments.............
I would also include DMX on the 4 wheeler - forget the movie name
Sly in Demolition Man 2 great wtf scenes in that movie involving cars.
The police chase from the 5th Element.
Initial D live action that Evo(3rd gen) wreck, actually that movie was amazing but the entire thing is WTF, give it a watch.
Include Death Race with Statham, and some of the transporter movie scenes as well.
Swartzy Taxi scene from Total Recall
Car chase scene in War the classic Statham car versus Jet Li in a Spyker C8.
Deadpool - SUV scene
Doomsday - Bentley scenes
Mad Max entire racing in all the movies
Escape from NY - had some interesting moments including the sequel
12:45 "It's got good pickup."
It's a model before catalytic converters,so it'll run good on regular gas!
I used to work on a 74 Monaco that was supposed to be an original bluesmobile. Had the 360, megaphone speaker on top, and ran and drove but was basically a shitbox. Owner that sucked at being a blues brother claimed it had 634,000 miles. Old hoopty ran pretty good but the guy ran it like a teenager, full throttle leaving a light, just ragged it to death. I live in the myrtle Beach area, this is not the same car on 38th Avenue at the old planet Hollywood, can't remember what its called now. TTldr, used to wrench on supposed bluesmobile 5, it was enough of a shitbox to be a stunt car, have no concrete proof it was a movie car, owner claimed to have a pic of the car with Dan Aykroyd, claimed to have a hat of the same size worn by John bbelushi, car looked authentic, might all be an elaborate story.
nice vid , !!!
Thank you. Feel free to subscribe as more are being made.
@ 3:19 lol Diplomat Salon lol supposed to say saloon not sure how they got those crossed but nonetheless is silly 😜
What song plays in the background for the first minutes?
DEATH RACE is byfar my Favorite Villain Race movie from the era!
I own it and watch it at least 3× a year, great cinematography & cheesey acting puts this movie on Top for me!
What about the classic chase in The Seven Ups?
That will find its way on another list and video.
The chase scene with Stuntman Mike in the 1971 Dodge Charger and the woman on the hood of the 1970 Dodge Challenger in Death Proof should be here. Also the scene where Stuntman Mike crashes the 1971 Chevy Nova head-on with the Honda Civic and scraping that chicks face off with the tire.
I would have included the Car from Batman Begins and the Minis from the first Italian Job film in the list...
Just started watching the vid. At #10 RN. Hope Maximum Overdrive makes the list. Heck the Ice Cream truck "My-T Tas-T" and the "Happy Toyz" truck are great. "Happy Toyz" had Green Goblin on the front of the truck. Literally. His face at least.
You should see my Top 10 Horror Vehicles video. You can find it in my channel. ;)
What’s popular franchise sentient car in live action
Burt Simpson. Totally not named after any 10yr old kid in the middle of the "Bart Era"
I don't think so. This came out almost the same time the Simpsons came out. And since the production happened about the same time the Simpsons went to tv and got their own show, I think it was all a coincidence as the Simpsons was not a massive hit right away. But yeah, hell of a name to have at that time.
The family trickster jump?
What about the Thunderbird from the crow?
Austin Martin? Viscounts?
That was Cody not Paul in furious.
Where can I buy Christine special edition?
Ebay
How could you NOT mention the Mall car chase scene in the Blues Brothers?
So there are to taxi movies
KITT
FROM KNIGHT RIDER
Of course... any vehicle Chuck Norris is driving, is just as tough as he is... indestructible!!!
the james bond lotus submarine was at edinburgh uk i believe it was found in spain, there was a short film where another car drives out of the ground... i cant think of the title its a horror though
