Great Car Chase - Italian Style

- This six minute car chase from The Master Touch (1972) is one of my favorites with Giuliano Gemma getting chased all over town, including through a cardboard box factory. There's always a cardboard box factory.

A 1958 Plymouth Fury, 1960 Dodge Matador, 1966 Opel Admiral, 1962 Citroen DS Wagon
Love how that one car switched back and forth between a 1958 Plymouth and a 1960 Dodge Dart! At least they went through the effort to make the Dart look like the Plymouth, with the grafted on Plymouth fins and the side trim. I wonder if the audiences of the time noticed the car changing back and forth? In the old days, before we had the ability to watch things on demand, pause, rewind, watch in slow motion, etc, I bet a lot of that stuff went right over the audience's head
Andre G Yes I did notice changes in color a front grille's usually certain movies use as many as 8 cars to make different scenes,,,,like Christine for example
I'm a Mopar guy and I didn't notice. Wasn't really paying attention, though.
That is actually a 1960 Dodge for the foreign market, which was built using a Plymouth body. Chrysler did this with their cars until 1965.
There ain't nothing like a good 'ol 70's Eurocrime movie car chase, damn!
The guy in the Eurobox says to himself: "No fair! I couldn't catch up to the Plymouth 2-door that was stuck in 2nd and still had the parking brake on. NOW I'm dogging the Dodge 4-door with 4 flat tires and a driver who must be lonely because he keeps stamping on the brakes so I can catch up. Harrumph! Maybe I'll just go follow around that drunk waiter in the Dauphine!"
I wonder just how many Plymouths they went through,every time you looked the car's dents were in a different place,not to mention growing a couple of extra doors now and again,very enjoyable nun the less,one to keep for a good laugh.
They just had only one 1958 Plymouth and that car was used for all the shots were the car isn’t getting destroyed. And only one 1960 Fodge for pretty much the whole chase, probably because the Dodge could take all the beating. That dodge goes from dented to fixed constantly because they must’ve shot the sequences either out of order or went back to do reshoots.
The lesson in car chase film making here is; make sure you have the right cars for the job and shoot the chase in order.
Wow, that is awesome to see that old Chryco beast (well, beasts) run like that...
Thanks to their torsion bar suspension they were much better handlers than most people think.
Having owned nearly a dozen 1957-1958 Plymouths I think one reason they used the Dodge was they hold up better to crashing. Unfortunately the '57-'58 Plymouths don't do well, My first car, a '57 Belvedere convertible was in the middle of a six car pile up, the passenger area held up but every square inch of sheet metal was toast. They are fast, comfortable cars, just don't hit anything. The Plymouth apparently is a much rarer car than the Dodge in Europe. I have friends in France and the UK that looked for years for Plymouths and couldn't find them. One bought a DeSoto Firesweep, one a '60 Dodge Phoenix (with a slant six engine), and one was lucky enough to find a '58 DeSoto Diplomat convertible. The Diplomat is 95% Plymouth with DeSoto Firesweep front fenders, hood and grille. Did you notice how much they did to the Dodge to give it the Plymouth look, Not only the welded on fins, but filling in the rear door handles and painting, plus the side trim. They also painted the wheel rims silver on the Dodge. Plymouths in 1958 used silver paint, the Dodges normally used black rims if they had full wheelcovers, fun chase anyway.
Outstanding car chase! Lots of great stuff! Classic chaos!
I bet you didnt know that this generation Plymouth could shapeshift between being a coupe and a limousine(;
It's Christine!
If it had been Christine, this video would have been only 2 seconds long.
When in doubt, drive through Cardboard.
And they always leave their cardboard boxes stacked high in a city where it rains all the time.
Love the Dukes of Hazard like horn!!!!
I thought the dude in the Plymouth looked a bit like Bo Duke especially at 6:07!
Just watched Bullit on tcm and decided to look up car chase scenes. Cannot believe I've never seen this! Friggin awesome! Love the chase down the stairs. Thanks!
They went to a lot of trouble to make that 1960 Dodge Dart (the four door) look like the 1958 Plymouth Belvedere coupe (not a Fury), they even put on fake fins. I like the way the Dodge bumper grows back after they drive down the steps.
Also the Plymouth appears to be wearing the Dodge's hubcaps.
I NEED ONE OF THESE CARS !!!!!
Love the old fashioned horns. Sounds so daft in a car chase sequence!
Being a bit older than the previous commentor's, I feel they miss the point! This is NO DIGITAL crap your watching, this is a real, life, limb, and death car chase stunt where timing and trust were paramount! Slippers384
In addition to the cars continuously changing, if you watch the full movie, the first time you see his car in the movie it's painted multiple colors while it's just a solitary gray in the chase.
Very entertaining and all real.Absolutely fantastic to watch.Thanks for sharing this.Great stuff...
I love the car chase with the 1958 Plymouth Fury/Belvedere. Christine fan. Anyway if the car were red and the top was white on the fury, I'd Freak.
what a spirit! these drivers and their cars are automotive equivalents for monty python's black knight.
That musical horn reminds me of every GTA 5 race.
I love how they taped cardboard fins onto the 1960 Dodge so no one would notice it was no longer a 59 Plymouth Fury!
This the goofiest and of course the saddest car chase I've seen so far. At the beginning, they're using a 1958 Plymouth 2dr, then at 1:26, they switch to a 1960 Dodge 4dr. But it's really sad seeing those cars getting wasted. The Opel I couldn't care less about. They used the Dodge more than the Plymouth. Movie industries always pick on the old American cars.
No cars were harmd in the making of this film
funny how the producers thought the audience woulnd t notice the bif difference in a '58 Plymouth and a '60 Dodge. It looks like they might have put 57-58 Plymouth fins on that DOdge. Interesting footage....
Notice how at 2:39 the camera has a shot from behind the Plymouth and the passenger side doors are not dented, but at 2:41 as both cars shoot out onto the street the Plymouth has badley dented sides and doors?
This also makes one wonder how doors could be dented going down steps?
I'm not knocking the clip; it is a great scene.
But it is interesting how movie makers will cobble together scenes to appear as though they happened in a certain order when they in fact did not.
Nothing beats old Detroit Iron that Opal didn't have a chance the stairs really bent the opel up
The false fins on the Dodge made to look like a Fury remind me the fake ears they put on the elephants in the Tarzan movies
5:06 "Daddy, the top came off!"
No shit!
I like how they dummied up the '60 Dodge with fake fins and painted side trim to resemble, sort of, a '58 Plymouth. Great stunt work for an older foreign film.
I was sorry to see both the Plymouth and the Dodge get trashed.
Actually, in the '50s, there were export models called the Dodge Kingsway and the DeSoto Diplomat which were both actually Plymouths. The front ends were different but the rest of them were pretty much just Plymouths. I had a 1950 Dodge Kingsway about 30 years ago.
Went from a Plymouth to a Dodge and back within a wink of an eye
0:24 you can see the petrol coming out from the tank cap of the Fury!
The start of this movie with the mercedes Police cars sliding all over the place is great too.
I had an Opel Admiral before. It had a small block Chevy in it. I feel bad for both cars. Non had Italian plates nor it was taking place in Italy. Non of the less it was pretty awesome chace! Feel bad for the cars....
This was a great scene.
Those cars look like they would be INCREDIBLY sluggish.
damn Mopar took a lickin and kept on tickin
hilarious-=- in the one scene they were carrying another car -lol fantastic
Another thing that boggles me in movies screeching tires on wet pavement,and did't know passing a train barrier you would lose your top,movies are so fictional
That was cool just as cool as the Bullit car chase
I wasn't sure what this video was about until I saw the title. I thought this was just typical Italian driving
How the 2 door plymouth became 4 door
They are using 2 cars for this chase. The first car is a 2 door 1958 plymouth. Then it magically changes to a 1960 Dodge 4 door. Wonder if they thought no one would notice :P
Il suono delle trombe è preso direttamente dal film IL SORPASSO del 1962 con Vittorio Gassmann
Almost definitely the Fury's transmission gave up first, which is why it was replaced with the Dodge. Terrible seeing such a rare car destroyed tho, but also really entertaining :)
wow what a cars? I love Italian made cars.
The Citroen owner looks like he shops as the same clothes store as Jackie Stewart did at the time this was made. The Belvedere has a neat set of musical horns.
That's how Citroën designers build the next model.
Just a little bit of every thing. I'm going back for a second view to spot the Plymouth / Dodge Dart switch a rooooo.
Don't worry folks, they have computer generated car chase scenes today that are
even more spectacular, just without
balls and realism of this video!
Caution!! No Fords were hurt during the filming of our
Movie!
It may be "Italian Style " but its in Germany?!? The '58 Plymouth turns into a '60 Dodge when they cross the border?!? More of a demo derby than a car chase, but what da heck, fun anyway!
And A 1962 Citroen ID19 Break Without Doors And Without Headlights
It's a Fury, sadly, Check out the colour and trim level of the interior, and its got the Fury sidetrim too. My best guess is that it was repainted to tidy it up (it was an old car even then) and to match it with the second car a 1960 Dodge Pioneer.
i wish cars like these were still in production... i can never own a cool '70s muscle car. i feel cheated :(
schade um den schönen Opel...aber geil gemacht!
one car is a 58 plymouth and it is replaced later by a 60 dodge...the dodge has a more elaborate grille... the other is a 60s era opel diplomat.
That was Cool!
Just a Good 'ol boys!
Great stuff thanks :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
American Fins baby!!
I wonder how many injuries were sustained during filming. Glass in the eyes at least!
un grande giuliano gemma con plymouth!!!!!!!!!
at 2:27 you can see what had been a 58 Plymouth Fury 2-door and then became a 60 Dodge Dart 4-door, has the Plymouth's fins grafted onto the Dodge's rear fenders.
Insurance ain't paying for either of those
'Carry on Cabby'
I know right? They wanted to bang up the 60 Dodge more than the Plymouth. The whole scenery was sad.
1:37. Del Boy's Italian cousin drives a Citroen Safari!
It's an Opel Admiral. Google this with the movie title "Un uomo da rispettare" and you will find a snapshot of the car in the chase scene.
Most likely a 383. I like the way the Dodge changed from a coupe to a 4 door.
Yes of course all the heavily set up American stuff with all the errors they have is sooooo much better, at least the Italians show some originality!!
Even a two-doors to a four-doors...
Wicked when the dodge blows thru the wall of boxes at high speed. Stairs can fuck up a car fast especially backwards
4:30.....hate to be the one to explain to the poor DKW Junior's owner what happened :(
What a gorgeous 1958 Plymouth....I wonder why they used a 1960 Dodge for the later shots? Maybe it got wrecked too early?
I'm assured that the producers didn't want to wreck a relic, the Dodge must have been more common at the time, so they simply fucked it up instead if that helps.
Sadly, Giuliano Gemma -who is seen driving the Plymouth in this film- just died in a car crash last month.
Real fun to 1998 Toyota Prius vs 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse speed life!!
What a bizarre chase, I mean do they really think we can't spot that they changed the Mopar from 58 Belvedere, to a 60 Dodge Polara, so some other weirdo car, from a 2 dr to 4 dr to 2 dr again? jeez...
I suppose. But it's still not cool. Those 1958 Plymouth's were one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen and seeing that car along with the 60 Dodge just is sickening to watch get thrashed. It was even more sad when I first saw "Christine". Cars like those don't deserve that kind of punishment.
Smashee smashee!
@jamminjoseph But good thing is that you know one thing here: what you see is what happened there no tricks nad montage, these are real drivers, and this is the real piece of action!!
i reckon that it was a DAF which fell of the transporter onto the opel
1958 Plymouth Fury / 1960 Dodge Dart / 1960 Dodge Dart with 58 Fury tails 4:51 - some weird hybrid
man, the things I would do do get the Plymouth and citroen.
crazy but good fun!
Yay carchase - nay CGI !
i like how the 2door 58 Plymouth turns in to 4 door dodge LOL
The Fury only came in Buckskin Beige with gold trim, this has neither.
The fury acts like christine !
opel versus fury
You are right. I was wrong
can you show me a video about it please? I want to hear more
One of them lost a bumper going down the stairs but it reattached itself?
they had only one plymouth in the film so they switched car between scenes. if you already know that
What, no "2 guys crossing the street carrying a large sheet of glass" scene? I'm disappoint :(
It's a dodge no it's a Plymouth
It went from a 58 Plymouth to a "Export" 60 Dodge Dart
funny here in Colorado I just thoroughly enjoyed,never even noticed the changes just the excitement of the chase!!! hey,anyone know what the time is!?!😉
It's Miller Time
Plymouth Fury or Belvedere vs Opel Rekord B. What's the car crushed at 3:21?
Funny how the car changed from 1957 Plymouth Fury to 1958 Doge costum.
no it was a 58 Plymouth then a 1960 Dodge Phoneix
