That scene with the tunnel is genius. First off, the sound design of that ghostly engine echoing off the tunnel walls is fantastic. There's this innense sense of dread that comes with it. Then, you see something reflective deep within the tunnel, assuming its the car, making the viewer think they know where the car is, only to be surprised when it pounces on them, catching the viewer by surprise.
You could see a steering wheel turning: but the frightening thing is that there’s no driver behind the wheel. Now fast forward: in one Uber vehicle, there’s someone on the driver’s seat,but the car drives itself very much in a similar way to this driverless car in the movie. The driver who used the auto pilot was eventually charged with negligence and Uber abandoned the driverless car project entirely.
@@eddiejoewalt7746 At the time this movie was produced, I worked with a black gal in the chem office in CA who often seriously stated....."That car was driven by the DEVIL!"
I imagine jumping cuts between the screaming cyclists, feared to death, and Jeremy just casually sitting in a car, talking, making jokes... especially when he rams the boy of the bridge: "Sometimes, my genius is just... frightning."
"You see here the Yanks can't even outrun their own overweight vehicles. I'd have already pedaled back to London. Let's see how fast we can cover this bridge"
Jesus…I’ve never felt my heart sank more watching this scene. These were just kids like me going out and riding their bikes. The way that the kids screamed, especially the boy, as the Car tormented them before sending them to their deaths is genuinely hard to watch. It doesn’t help that I’ve always had a huge paranoia of being close to cars when riding a bike.
That scream from the poor guy as he falls off the bridge, the reverb on it and the way it grows more intense as the body draws closer to the ground, is blood-chilling. Excellent sound editing! 😮

Some people don't even know this but the way the car beeps it's horn there is actually a morse code it means "X" which sometimes means death, so he's basically saying death. LoL
Admittedly, that tunnel shot is very clever. You get a long burning shot of the tunnel, a ghostly humming gets closer, then you see the faint outline of a silver grill and lights coming towards you, and then, jump cut to the car literally running the camera over.
that car was even more daemonic than christine. at least christine had emotions. that car is a pure killer. excelent cult movie. pioneer and innovative for its time and of course with a low budget. cult movies were on a rise in the 70s. and personally yes! i liked that movie more than i liked john carpenters and stephen king s christine
Incidentally, living in a town where cyclists think they have law of the land... this was therapeutic. When adult cyclists are not screaming at pedestrians since they have overtaken the sideWALKS (ignoring the tax paying dollars that painted their "bike lanes"), I have had or seen cyclists scream and yell at motorists to make them feel dumb for driving across the painted bike lanes without stopping. When those lanes have stop signs just like every other thoroughfare, yet because they are doing "the green thing", they feel they don't have to pay attention to.
I can sympathize with the car…… I hate those men in tights blocking traffic also. They are like the yuppie version of hells angels. Daring you to pass while they ride the yellow line.
Judging by the location there was probably a lot of downhill segments and I'm sure they wouldn't wanna risk plummeting to death in a place like that.. still jumping off a moving bike or swerving without falling is actually pretty difficult
That’s One Evil Machine I Mean That Is The Most Dangerous & Most Evil Cars I’ve Ever Seen As A Young Boy Because I’ve watched this movie nearly 40 years ago back on Philadelphia’s WPHL17 during the time that this network used to have a nighttime program called The Moving Picture which aired this movie that one Friday night because this demonic machine has already killed a couple of kids riding bikes across a bridge then later a hitchhiker and then the terror went from there until a Sheriff’s Deputy and a handful of others buried it in the desert seeing a Devil flying up from the flames and all but this is one good horror movie .
It was because I’ve once watch this movie nearly 40 years ago as a young boy because this evil machine was possessed by the devil in which its mission was to kill humans and damn their souls the hell include the good people because I watch this movie back on Philadelphia PHL17 During a time when channel 17 once had a nighttime program called the moving picture which always shown these movies including this one which features a very demonic machine which was killing people in this one county.
*Golden Rule of Horror Movies* If you can easily get to safety when a psycho is trying to kill you in the most sadistic way, for God's sake *don't* do the smart thing that saves you from a dramatic death. If you do, you'll never work in movies or television again. And ironically, there's nothing more frighteningly grotesque than having to work an ordinary job when your sights were set on fame and fortune.
This is basically everyday in New York. I was shocked to see how often this happens while I was working in a NY ER. It’s not reported in the news media, but a certain demographic population in NY I’d running down Asian and South American people.
Whoever handled that horn needs a raise, its so mysterious yet haunting despite just being a normal horn without any edited nuance
Air horn x 20
The car's horn was a Hadley 977N Ambassador, if I reckon back correctly. And yes, whoever handled it did it well.
No, it's a Grover 1700-1748 air horn. It was a horn commonly used on big semi trucks.
Exactly @theoflood6596 it wasn't a "normal" car horn at all.

Well, that's one good tire because it's still holding air.
As a Bike mechanic, the Semperit tires are still saveable
the best aspects of this movie is the car itself because it is driverless and it is mysterious, no backstory
it is mysterious,?

I guess they wanted their own Jaws... decided on a car lol
Yep. Jeremy Clarkson is definitely in that car
I imagine jumping cuts between the screaming cyclists, feared to death, and Jeremy just casually sitting in a car, talking, making jokes... especially when he rams the boy of the bridge: "Sometimes, my genius is just... frightning."
“Oooooooh in the plummmms”

One great movie would be this car vs the Duel truck.
The car was way more brutal than Christine
Several years later after this movie was aired, a driverless Uber car killed a cyclist. Different sets of circumstances.
I heard on CNN that they were playing a game of 'chicken,' and the bicyclist got 'dee-beaked.'
1:53 This Scream is similar to Charles Lee Ray
I love the obvious scene at 1:52 where the cyclist is clearly and securely standing on the bridge railing rather than flying over it.
You know, I never noticed that until now that I read your comment...hmmmmm.. lol
I need that horn in my car to use when people poke in the left lane and won’t get over.
What every motorist dreams of.
In the cars defense there were no bike lanes.
As someone stuck behind groups of bikers on a road not deisigned to have bikers, I can understand The Car's frustration.
"the car" is the ultimate cult movies of the 70s along with "texas chainsaw massacre"
Of all this movie still scares the crap out of me

Beautiful scenery with "death" at the forefront 😅
remember seeing this for the first time when i was 7 in like 2008, nightmare fuel man
the car is the best especially the bit where it takes out the cyclists
It iz absolutely criminal they didn't make a sequel to this masterpiece --- absolutely " Criminal"
Actually they made spinoff sequel called The car 2 road to revenge.

The best horror car movies in 1977
Awesome movie
Where is that in the US? That looks like a gorgeous state park.
Thank you Mr. Car, I know it burns every time you have to say that name. Thank you for all that you do 🤝
It was filmed in 'Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel' in Zion National Park, Utah

Take the orange pill: @NotJustBikes
Wish someone would post the whole movie on here. I remember seeing this movie as a kid on Creature Freatures on Fox channel 2 in the Bay Area.
The girl is Nikki from the Young and The Restless.
So many things they could have done to get out of that situation.
number one: dont look tis movie ! :D
Fr like the girl when was gettiing grinded by the car to the wall, she could've hit the breaks...
That’s right. The could have not taken the role
I AGREE
Weren’t wearing helmets either. Bike helmets save lives. 🤓
Love those Cragar SST's
I REALLY LIKE THIS MOVIE...THE EFFECT AND THE ACTING..FABUOLOUS..
Some one should report that driver for reckless endangerment.
Then, the whole car turns up at court.
i can confirm that i'm with the car
😂 never heard of just braking and swerving into the grass that there’s plenty of before the bridge…..??? Lol
Judging by the location there was probably a lot of downhill segments and I'm sure they wouldn't wanna risk plummeting to death in a place like that.. still jumping off a moving bike or swerving without falling is actually pretty difficult
ha the car was like oh i got you guys now ya little kids

@@csic123Taylor (Hunter Tylo) was in Final Destination?!
How does hitting the tire cause him to fly sideways off the bridge?
Oh well who cares about logic
I think it’s prob because the car kept hitting the wheel making him lose balance so the car can push him off the bridge
i would say pit manuever, but idk
Suspension of disbelief.
Most of this sequence was filmed in Zion National Park, except for the bridge portions.
It looked like that car was possessed by the devil
