That "jalopy" has a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
Its a Dodge Monaco.. speed limit when it was built was 70. It could do 140 all day long and not even break a sweat. My buddy had a 74 & at 100mph the motor was running about 2000 faster than idle.
440 cubic inches ? it means 7.2 liters... why do you make such monstruous engines lol
So what do you say, is it the new bluesmobile or what?
@@barryfields2964 Fix the cigarette lighter.
Pump gas. Boi get it right. Jk.
"To Live and Die in LA" had the best car chase of the 1980's
Great but not better than MM2... How could anyone deny it absolutely , undoubtedly not be in top spot.
Check out the Jag Cobra chase in Running from the Guns.
I beg to differ, check out the chase sene from the movie The Hidden with the black ferarri
Same here
Because it was directed by the same director of “The French Connection” car chase.
anyone else get this randomly recommended to them
Yes
And I don't regret it
Yes actually, not exactly sure how I missed it because I keep a fairly tight watch on DM content
It's called algorithms
Yea
No way should Back to the future is ahead of Blues brothers, have you gone mad son???
Running Scared anyone?
Eric Learns to Cook
Awesome buddy cop movie but I’m blanking on the car chase
Yeah this guy knows nothing about this subject
Uh oh. You've got 88 likes...
Blues brothers is number1 by far
its 106 miles to chicago we got a full tank of gas a half pack of cigarettes its dark and were wearing sunglasses HIT IT.
Jake and Elwood. Mr. Man, Mr. Man.
i used that as an opening for a school project and got an A
It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
? ? imo. one of the best movie quotes ever.
Lots a space in this Mall!! LMFAO!!
I'm so glad that you included "To Live and Die in L.A." I loved that chase scene.
Bob Pruett one of the best
@vin a He has it in 1990s greatest car Chase's
When this video started, I thought: If this list doesn't include "To Live and Die in LA" it isn't worth it. I'm not the world's biggest car chase fan, but that one was great. I don't know how many times that "wrong way on the expressway" thing has been used since, but it's been PLENTY.
As a former cop I can tell you it was SO realistic - it took my breath away and gave me flashbacks
"Short Time" from 1990 has one of the best car chase scenes ever.
thats 1990 tho but that car chase was soo good
@@sameeknowsitall I'm aware it was 1990. I said it was from 1990.
Absolutely....
The Dodge Diplomat chasing the Pontiac Bonneville, definitely showed how tough those cars were.
The time travel in Back to the Future was more realistic than the Libyan's AK-47 jamming.
For sure!
"No Man's Land" (1987) - Charlie Sheen and DB Sweeney are car thieves, more specifically Porsche thieves. The chase scene with the 911 Turbo and the rival car thieves is epic.
Hell yea!
This is a most on this list!
Where's Smokey and the bandit 2 with old Buford and his posse of Gaylord and Reggie in the desert... Classic !!
In the *1970s* list, perhaps?
@@AlejandroBelloRD Part 2 came out in 1980.
@@AlejandroBelloRD just had to laugh so hard at your lack of movie knowledge.
@@joelstapleton2802 So making one mistake on the release date of a film equals a laughable lack of movie knowledge?
Huh.
Can you guess why I'm laughing at you right now?
The driver in The Junkman was the same person who drove the Mustang in Gone in 60 Seconds - Toby Halicki, who was also the producer and director of both films and drove all of his own stunts and starred in both films.
But his third movie didn't turn out well for him
I was just going to comment on that !!
There were some great car chases in Knight Rider! 1892-1986
1892? Had no idea it was over 100 years old!
Cool!!! Also in Dukes of Hazzard.
And in Mad max!!!
Cannonball Run? The Wraith?
Exactly!
def the wraith
They weren't car chases, they were about racing on the highway.
Christine too because a car on fire chasing a dude
Forgot Cannonball!
I've seen The Blues Brothers 50+ times- and i still find some details... ;-)
Driving over 100MPH under Lake St. deserves the top spot I think
“No Man’s Land” deserved to be in this list. Also “Innerspace” and “The Wraith”, which is full of great car chases.
Dude, the chase seen from Bullet. No. 1 for sure!
yea and was that movie made in the 80's?
It's made in the 60s
The chase from Short Time was freaking amazing
Finally Live And Die In LA gets on one of these lists!
1st time I saw it was half way through the chase on tv so I rented the VHS to watch the whole movie
100% Agree on number 1 spot! Mad Max - The Road Warrior is the most memorable of the 80s car chases!
But it was the easiest to film - a desert, and not in any way realistic or ment to be - it is apples and oranges to compare
Elwood: We won’t get busted. We’re on a mission from God.
Yall should make a list consisting of nothing but 80's TV shows! Dukes of Hazzard. Knight Rider. The A-Team. Miami Vice.
The dukes of hazard is 1979 most people think it is 1980 but it not
phillyguerrilla i’m just saying don’t sleep on the Fall Guy, it holds up. If any show should be remade it’s probably this one. Certainly we know the studios would probably just ruin it...so probably just leave it alone.
hulk not a car movie but he's always turning cars over lol
Big Bubba
Most the Dukes of Hazard is in the 80s
@@bigbubba8613
*1979* and driving a bootlegging "old" *1969* Charger, no less.
I came here basically to see The Blues Brothers on the list.
I ended up with a couple another movies I should watch :P
Thanks! :D
The Road Warrior. Still Bad Ass all these years later.
Road Warrior was so much more than just a car chase. There was a lot more to worry about.......
I love the Mad max video game at ps4, it tells the story what the movies didn’t, and is a great honor for the movies in my opinion.
It’s more fun than I ever would believe!
The movies were and still are my favorite ones, the mad max 1 was banned here in Finland at the 80’s and 90’s and I got it (around 1995-1996) as a vhs copy from imported usa version, without any subtitles, but as a ~8y old kid it didn’t matter!
It just lit up my mind for learning English, so there is a massive positive effect also from that aspect to me. 🙂
And the storylines are still getting me into tears, allways has been.
I just wish I could live that live in real life. It would be so damn awesome compared to today’s world..
No need for ”apocalyptic” survival has made the human race weak and controllable. In a negative way.
Never underestimate the power of the 440 in a monoco
Yes indeed. What fools these mortals be.
The Hidden from 1987 should be on this list. Features a great opening chase with a Ferrari 308 GTS.
Love your videos donut media
Thank you!
I never realized the camera quality of Back To The Future was so good, makes the other films look like they where filmed with a potato!
c00k13 m0N5tA You are so right
Its probably because back to the future has been remastered for the bluray special edition and the rest are original footage
You missed “Christine” where Christine chased buddy’s car
Yeah
Christine wasn't made in the 80s, it's only 80s movies, but yea it's a good one,
1983 (Christine)
@@michaelmiller5771 filmed in the 80's, set in the 70's.
The chase from "No Man's Land" 1987 of a Camaro Z28 and a Lincoln Mark V chasing a Porsche 911 turbo should be on this list IMO
And let's not forget the crazy car chases from the movie "Ronin"
Baha T I don't remember "no man's land" but Ronin had spectacular chase scenes and is a great movie to boot.
The chase in No Man's Land was pretty great, too bad the movie kind of went down hill after that.
Ronin came out in 98... but dm should have it on there 90’s list tho !
@@billycloudy9078 Awesome movie, cool chase with my favorit the Mercedes W 116 6,9!
My favorite 80s chase is the opening scene of "The Hidden"
ua-cam.com/video/P76cCj1Jssc/v-deo.html Awesome
That was a really nice list. My favorites on here are Cobra, Beverly Hills Cop, and The Blues Brothers.
Is there anything that doesn't make you nervous? Check yoself bro, you might have a deep anxiety disorder.
The chase scene from Mad Max 2 was truly insane. Props for picking it!
Corvette Summer Chase scene with the black 72 T/A
That's from 1978, if I remember correctly.
The Blues Brothers should be on no 1
DAMN STRAIGHT!
Chicago police: The car budget for the next 20 years is gone we crashed all the cars
The Humongous will not be defied!
it really should have been.
Blue's Brother's #1 2 me no matter what with that True Hemi Power 😏
I was about to disown this list but then To Live and die in L.A. and the Road Warrior showed up...i got you. The Blues Brothers was filmed in 79..with 70's cars. It got a proper spot. The 1974 Dodge Monaco 440 Police Interceptor would actually do 135 mph with some room..like a couple of miles. What you seen was actual speed. It could get to 120 mph in a few blocks under the El..not bad for 4500 pounds and a 2.23:1 rear end
netrioter shut the fuck up blues brothers is the best movie ever and it was released in 1980, just filmed in 79
223 rear end? That is some tall gears
The rear axles were 3.23 with 2.71 on special order. My '69 and my '74 would both do 145 with no sweat
Blues Brothers is my all time favorite car chase scene.
Armed and Dangerous 1986 had a pretty gnarly semi vs. corvette chase. Needles to say, Maximum Overdrive has a great one as well. Lisa Simpson almost gets wrecked.
maximum overdrive I love that movie I was born in 94 I remeber watching it on the Sci fi channel in the 2000s
And, before people ask as it always comes up, yes, the two-wheeling tanker truck stunt in Licence to Kill actually was performed, no CGI there...
But don't tell me the wheel stand was real.
@@JayDee-xj9lu yes it is it would have been done by practical effects back then there wasn't any cgi to speak of they would have modified a truck to do it
@@smh28v6 the truck kinda folds itself to lift the front, it's nuts!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Blues Brothers and Mad Max two were both my two favourite films when I was 12
Why apologize for Back to the Future car chase? That shit was awesome!
hell yea , a volkswagon bus chasing a DMC 12 Delorean awesome .
The VW wouldn't have any trouble catching the Delorean. The DMC-12 is a slug. I test-drove one new in 1982. I believe the '88 MPH' plot device was actually an inside joke.
As much as I love Back to the Future, I don't think it should of been that high on the list. It was GREAT but just one of the best.
Back to the Future? Jog on. That scene is a minute of nothing special.
@@timcoleman6256 I love that scene, but it should've been somewhere between 10 and 8.
Still love Terminator, Blues Brothers and Cobra. That '50 Merc is still awesome to me.
Agree, awesome car, a dream
DEMOLITION MAN with the red 442 in the future!! That’s awesome.
Thank You !
Usual chase scenes: Start slow become fast and end a few minutes later
Back to the Future chase scene: Starts slow,remains slow ends in 1955
Hers 3 moves for you : Smoky and the bandit. Gone in 60 sec. Vanishing point. 😊🖒
All from the 70's so not for this list, but all amazing chases.
Cristoffer NorBmw Vanishing Point! The shit! Feeling you lol PEACE!!!
The original Gone in 60 Seconds.
@Marvin Thayer Gone in 60 Seconds came out in 1974
I know, I saw it then at the movie theater with my father and uncle.
This just made me want to watch a few of these movies again since it has been a while
Great list, Mad Max and Blues Brothers, Cobra, my personal top 3, thanks!
This scene from Stallone Cobra is so good I used to match this movie on a 20 inch TV as a kid and once I dreamed I was the one on the truck and made the move with it, thanks God on the other car it wasn't Stallone!!😅😅😅😅😅😅
the wraith?????
Tadd Mason I know man how did they forget that movie!
gavin estes SUCH AN EPIC MOVIE
I was definitely expecting a scene from The Wraith to be on here.
JUST SAD!!!! grew up loving that movie
The Wraith wasn't really car chases, that was more racing than anything
Classic 80s films,huge back to the future fan😊
Blues Brothers car, lol. I blew the 383 in my 1970 Cuda' at the drags - still won. Engine was a paperweight tho. I snagged a 440 Magnum engine, milled the heads, bored the walls, stroked the rods to 4.500" turning the engine into something a touch larger than a 535 cubic inch. The car was a runner for sure. I was clocked at 158 mph just going for beer once. I was just cruisin really, the car had more - 3:20 gears in the pumpkin that day. Back in the day we had to work at getting the numbers factory cars get today. But damn it was fun.
The original gone in 60 seconds is the best
And also from the 70s whereas this list is about the 80s
Absolutely. The remake is pure garbage.
See my comment on the main thread about Gone in 60 Seconds and HB Toby Halici. Some stuff is there you might like to know.
This list is about '80s car chases. The original Gone in 60 Seconds was from 1974.
The movie that never gets mentioned is "The Driver " with ryan O'neil awesome stuff !
It does here - great chase scene! ua-cam.com/video/J-DwflCcgzI/v-deo.html
Ghodawful film. Great driving.
The driver was 1970s
Great chase, but mid 70s
EXACTLY DUDE the DRIVER ! ..Ryan O'Neil was so cool in that movie and the chase that lasted most of the movie had me outa my seat for most of it ..this was Epic and perhaps the No 1 for also !
Anyone else just love the older boxier cop cars?
Drove 'em for 20 years. To me, they were beautiful
Just stumbled over this video! Awesome stuff!!
Em 2:38 aquele carro do filme Stallone Cobra era a coisa mais linda que eu tinha visto na vida. Queria muito ter este carro. Me deu uma pena vê-lo destruido durante o filme.
I realize this is an 80's car chase list but I still like the 1974 gone in 60 seconds better
Totally agree with you but at least the late great HB haliki gets on the list with the yellow corvette
Or Vanishing Point
He has a 70s list
@@sameeknowsitall I'm pretty sure that video hadn't been made yet when I made this comment.
These old cars were built like tanks💪
Not all of em' Some broke before even hitting the gaz.
The car chase from Bullitt with Steve McQueen, its my all time favourite.
And mine
Up to speed with the corvette
No duh
Remember Commando? Arnold crashes stolen Sunbeam into a light pole with this chick a s a passenger NO SEAT BELTS. "You ok" 😅
And the Porsche got wrecked too. Good ol 80s man
Armed and dangerous? The truck scene was amazing. Whatcha hauling? Rocket fuel!
David Bacon let’s see how fast this sum bitch goes. Love that movie
Needs to be on the list: the scene where the main character from "Short Time" is fearlessly chasing the superviolent bad-guys in his unmarked Dodge Diplomat police sedan. He thinks he's terminally ill and he therefore thinks unless he dies 'not in the line of duty' his family ( who feels terrible about neglecting for his job as a hard-nosed police detective ) will not receive his insurance policy benefits. The whole notion, along with his intensity while chasing the bad-guys and mocking them for not stopping him with their automatic weapons, and how that Diplomat keeps on the bad-guys while it is nearly destroyed in the chase....it's all hilarious and the stunt sequence is fantastic!
SF7
Honorable mention for "For Your Eyes Only" and the Citroen 2CV?
God the 80s were awesome!
Great top 10!
This list is LEGIT AF!!!
I'd be curious to see your list of the best chases from each decade. This formula works well since it's too hard to make a "top 10 of all time" list without EVERYONE's list being practically the same group of the most famous chases. They end up overlooking the lesser-known gems like some of the films in this video.
Hmm… they should probably do another top-10 video for best car-chases from the 2010’s, now that we’re in the 2020’s.
👍Beverly Hills cop semi chase number one IMO. 👍
nah it was great tho but renember that your opinioon dojt lasten ta me ma spellng get better gaha
Great list !
Excellent list!
How dare you call the Bluesmobile a jalopy!
I gave him Holy Hell for that sacriligious statement!
"No man's land" should be in there as well...
Perfect list.
Great video!
Fantastic list, as much as I love Road Warrior I think I would put To Live and Die in L.A as my #1. Keep the great videos coming.
I agree with you about these two chases. The Road Warrior chase feels more choreographed than To Live and Die in LA which is quite intense due to it's more spontaneous nature.
i love mercurys from the 40s and 50s
Loved it !!!!!!
Thanks for good stuff.
Honorable mention:
Running scared-
cab and caddy limo scene
I just looked up the release date of my favorite car chase and as I was watching I seriously hoped it would make the list, but it was 1990. The movie is Short Time with Dabney Coleman.
The scene may not have the volume of cars that the Blues Brothers has, but the sheer brutality and humor in context is fantastic and still may be worthy of this list (if they'd only released it just a few months earlier).
100% agreed, just how destroyed the car gets is insane, the trailer is more than 1/2 car chase
Also of note from the same year is wheels of terror with Joanna Cassidy, the entire last act is a car chase
Same!! I was hoping it would make it!!! I LOVE watching that scene!!! my goodness....
The 1 hour car chase from the first gone in 60 seconds is the best of all time. That yellow Mach 1 did the whole car chase. One car!
Good to see an Aussie movie topped the list. Pretty much know that movie word for word.
You should have had hitcher. There is a awsome car chase in that movie.
Dude wtf ? What about the movie running scared . That has to be one of the best car chase scenes ever with Billy crystal & gregory hines !!
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one
Love the video 👍
You nailed it by picking Road Warrior as #1.
"COBRA", Was the best
Your a good citizen.......
AND THAT BADA$$ MERCURY!!
License To Kill is a seriously badass 80's classic and a kickass Bond film.
“There’s two million dollars in that suitcase. I’ll split it with you.”
I forgot Black Cat Run, where a Chevelle goes up against the hero car, a 1970 Cutlass 440. Now that had some cool car scenes!
Miami Vice "Bought and Paid For." The chase with the Countach 5000S and the 365 Daytona (McBurnie kit car) running down the streets of Miami. It's not a movie but a series and it was in the 80's.....it's iconic and the noise of that V-12....WOW!!!
What about the car chase in the james bond movie "For your eyes only"?
Or The Living Daylights
Yes!!!!
The living day lights had a better car chase than a view to a kill
Parkski license to kill to be exact
Yah but a view to a kill was all about the baby doll in the blue dress.
Cool list
I know that it wasn't the 80's, so I am glad that you mentioned: The French Connection car chase scene! Also, I loved the Mad Max movies too! AWESOME CAR CHASE SCENE jn The Road Warrior!
Sad seeing all them 70s fords getting destroyed
I knew instantly that the driver with the huge sideburns in The Junk Man was HB Halicki. He was also the impetus behind the original Gone in 60 Seconds movie. If you liked the vast amount of damage and vehicles destroyed in The Blues Brothers I guess the only reason the original 60 Seconds movie isn't on the list is because it was from the late 70's. For sheer destruction, nothing beats it!
Hard to beat a :45 minute car chase.
Thank you for the tips.
Good job 👍🏼
