Gone in 60 seconds (1974 version)
After reading all the hype I went and bought this title and honestly, I hope I can sell it to some other chump. The other low rated reviews pretty much reflect my feelings about the movie. To sum it up boring, watching a bunch of average 70’’s junk cars run into each other, I don’’t get it? The Elanor chase scene should have been 10 minutes not 40. No other cars worth looking at get any screen time besides the Mustang. The Cannonball run movies were better than this and the newer movies like the remake of Gone in 60 and The Fast and the Furious while exaggerated are way more entertaining. Maybe it’’s nostalgia for other reviewers but PLEASE take my advice and RENT THIS BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!! Rated 4 out of 5
Classic REAL car chase
Yeah yeah, everyone has seen the new Gone in 60, with the car chase that could be separated into separate stupid scenes like the rainwater wash, construction yard, and the completely unrealistic bridge jump with obvious computer generation. Few have seen and appreciated a chase like this. I consider it like the Bullitt chase with Steve McQueen, except longer. In GI60S all the crashes were real too. In the part where Eleanor hits the lightpole on the freeway, Halicki wasn’’t planning on hitting it, but decided to leave it in the movie, and never did tell the city who actually knocked it down! Great movie, don’’t expect big budget garbage. Rated 2 out of 5
Fox Presents:World’’s Scariest Police Chases(Lost Episode)!
Okay all of you people who say "I can make a movie better than that!" here’’s an example of someone with no film making experiance tries to make a movie.Don’’t give me that "What about Quentin Tarrantino." stuff.That’’s one out of a million.But you’’ve gotta hand it to H.B. "Toby" Halicki,he had a good concept for an action movie:A car thief has to steal 50 cars without getting caught.However,Toby’’s inexperiance shows.Though he had some good ideas about sub-plot(Talking about settling down with his girlfriend),he didn’’t have the experiance to focus the story enough.The film fluxuates in between action,comedy,and documentery(Some of the scenes that explain the art of auto theft were actually real methods at the time).Still,in the end,the film’’s climatic car chase with "Elenor",is the only reason worth giving the film a look.It is,as my review title suggests,like watching "World’’s Scariest Police Chases".One of the DVD’’s perks is the audio commentary by the lead cameraman and the editor of the film who provide some interesting insights into the movie(It also helps to pass the first 50 some-odd minutes untill the big chase).
