As an almost a rally driver, I've got to say, this car while tall and all, handles really well judging from this video, and can take some obstacles. I good car I would be happy to drive.
Just so you know, that guy in the car with the cowboy hat is Sheriff J.W. Peper who was also in Live and Let Die, released the year before, he was the sheriff in Louisiana when bond was chasing somebody in that movie, and he just happens to be on vacation in this movie too and bumps into bond again.
I love this car too! Although I am waiting around for the right javelin to come across my radar. Ideally with a 401. Not expecting to aquire a mark Donahue though!
Sadly, by 1974 you couldn't get a 360 with a 4-speed. No 4-speeds at all in Hornets until 1977 and even then, only on the 6-cylinder cars. You could still order the 360 V8, but it was strangled by a 2-barrel, single exhaust and available only with an automatic transmission. Those were dark times for AMC.
The police cars were Matador sedans - my first car was a $600 1971 AMC Ambassador sedan, very similar. It was indestructible, had snow tires on the back (had Montana plates when I bought it in Texas) and no hubcaps. The used car lot was so embarrassed by it they had it parked halfway into a ditch on the side of the property - not even a sign on it. I showed up on a moped and asked what they had for cheap, and the guy shrugged and pointed over at it. I paid $200 a month for 3 months and it was mine. Great first car, even in 1987!
Spot the Holdens from Australia. 2:54 The grey sedan - next to the maroon car, is a 1962 Holden EJ series. 3:21 The blue sedan with white roof, behind Bond is a 1967 Holden HR series. 4:04 The light green sedan in front of Scaramunga's Matador X, is a Holden LC series Torana. 4:06 The cream sedan, between the white and red cars is a 1970 Holden Kingswood HG series. Parked against the curb is a Matador sedan police car. 4:11 must have done the same take again, Bond passes in between the same Torana and Kingswood. 4:36 same Torana and Kingswood again
Great spotting, there...I managed to get the Kingswood and the Torana (twice) but missed the EJ and HR. The cops in Thailand loved the HK-HG series...they were retained as (battered and elderly) patrol cars into the 1980s.

They were being chased by police in Matador sedans. It doesn't get much more AMC than that. If the chase took place in Kenosha, it would have been peak AMC.

Most people will write-off an AMC as just old junk, but the Hornet is a very capable, well-balanced car. I've got a V8 Hornet hatch and pulling a Rockford in mine is ridiculously easy. The car handles so predictably, that you know exactly where it'll land before you're there. I love it.

Wow. Who would have know that AMC had such a foothold in Asian countries... even dealerships and police cars. You'd almost think it was bad product placement.
Great footage and AMC product placement. However, I spotted a small error--after the pursuit ends we see Scaramanga's Matador take off up into the sky, looking closely you will see the jet wing unit sitting on top of the car, this also includes the rear streamlining over the trunk, yet when Miss Goodnight pops open the truck we see the rear of the car with no evidence of the rear flashing of the jet wing, otherwise Miss Goodnight would not be able to open the trunk with the wing unit sitting over it. Excepting Miss Ekland, all the main characters in this clip have passed away.
@@Firemarioflower Have you ever worked at a dealership? They are delivered to the lot with less than a gallon. The dealer doesn't put any more in it than it needs. At that time it would get filled if it sells, but it wouldn't have more than a gallon in it sitting in the showroom.
"The Man with the Golden Gun" may be a failure at the box office, but it's interesting because it has a lot to offer. This video was edited with a focus on the car chase scene, including the scene where the AMC on which Bond rides somersaults across the bridge, so I enjoyed it very much. There are many Japanese cars in old Thailand. And I feel nostalgic because I can see many car models that I can no longer see.
5:04 is that a 1965 Pontiac bonneville coupe in Thailand. Dang there must’ve been a lot of American , Japanese , British cars in Thailand. and on the right of the bonneville there’s a green Plymouth plaza. crazy how Thailand has so many cars.
I could never understand why Bond movies with all that budget insisted on hideous rear projection filming of in-car scenes. Cheap Knight Rider TV series shown how it should be done, cars towed ground level with cameras, and in some cases when more speed was needed, car would go on it's own with cameras on the bonnet pointing at the driver.
Bangkok was so shady back in the day.... you could literally have a blonde lady squat down and bust open the trunk..... of a parked car with a midget inside........ and then a tall white guy in a white suit could literally walk up and toss that lady in the trunk.......ALL in broad day light and NO ONE would bat an eye.
Stay in there,, as she was just about to get out. That little guy thought trouble was afoot. One night in Bangkok and a plane ride later it was all cool on a private island 🏝.
By 1974 AMC was a joke. The Hornet had gotten a dork-o-matic facelift the previous year. The new Matador coupe was hideously styled 1:30, while the existing Matador sedan got a freakshow level protruding yet blunt nose grafted to it 4:50 . And they hadn't bottomed yet -- the next year would see the AMC Pacer--an all out assault on attractive aesthetics. It's absolutely ludicrous that someone with the style and taste of James Bond would be seen in an AMC product.

Chevrolets were prominently featured in Live And Let Die. Many movies are car commercials. How many Pontiac Firebirds do you think were sold after Smokey and The Bandit?
@@zolarczakl3880 Fords were featured in Goldfinger (featuring one of the first Mustangs produced) and Diamonds Are Forever as well. Definitely product placement lol!
They were there, as warrantee service dealerships for US. military bases that had fleet orders of Rambler/JEEP/AMC vehicles for security, flight line support, VIP transport / Staff cars. Bases used, and sold to local law / traffic enforcement, which IF you've ever been there, not much controlled traffic went on. I bought a 1971 Matador that had been a base staff commander car on GUAM. Major paperwork US. Govt. / AMC.
On another note, my favorite scene is at 10:00 in when Miss Ekland opens the trunk. Have read her autobiography cover-to-cover. Her life was just about as exciting as what you see there. She had only very highest praise to say about the movie and it surprised even her. She was in many other great movies including the infamous and great The Wicker Man (original).
It also had to do with the fact that AMC was sponsoring Milligan's stunt team in those years. And so when they had built a car to do the spiral roll originally, they worked it out with an AMC.
@@paktype have you not seen a single car made by any manufacturer within the last 22 years? Because this matador is downright gorgeous in comparison. I don't love the way it looks but at least it's not embarrassing like today's cars
I love that darn thing. It proved that AMC was not willing to follow in the footsteps of the Big Three straight into bland and boring oblivion. I have seen them in person and they look even better. It is absolutely brilliant how Dick Teague designed the bumpers to indicate that they were merely a federally mandated appendage and nothing more. It's begging to be removed, just in the same way that the 1950-1951 Studebaker sedans were.
Matador x was a worthy competitor, however the regular matador was a hunk of shit, rusted really fast too, we had a NEW matador as a loaner when parents country squire was wrecked, it had to get jump started several times and eventually the shop towed it out and replaced it with an LTD. The aggressive styling at AMC was pretty cool, just built too cheap
Amc made the best stuff. I wonder if cars would be so unnecessarily ugly these days if amc were still around. Their innovation is exactly why big 3 loyalists tend to hate amc so much
Vietnam. Air bases in Thailand...base motor pool fleet. USN, US Army, USAF.Flight line vehicles, escort aircraft...cheap, basic, rust free, never in traffic. Australia got them broken down for shipping, then assembled as right hand drive. I got mine from GUAM.
Can someone please explain to me exactly why Sherriff J.W. Pepper was shopping for a new AMC while on vacation in Thailand? Who buys a car on vacation, especially one made in the country they are from? Like, did they not have AMC dealers in Louisiana? Had to fly all the way to Bangkok just to check out the new Javelin? LOL!
It is a tribute to the typical ignorant American flying half way around the world only to keep his focus on American products rather than learning about a different culture. I doubt he was shopping. It was more like he was home sick.
Really miss how Bond movies were back then. You always knew he was about to do something real bad ass when the theme music hit. Sad the new movies don’t do the same.
