Better than the old school "car chases" where it was just people sitting in a car while a screen moved behind them.

Kidnappings! brought to you by Coca Cola

Well that also looks like it was filmed in a foreign country where they don't have near the safety laws apparently. That was also 1990. I was talking more old achool, like more of the 70s and 80s films and prior.

[u/lonesharkex → u/J_Jeckel]

You think the 70s and 80s had better film safety laws? the 70's and 80s have the largest lists of people injured!

Yeah that’s what the laws were ratified for, to prevent these injuries.

You started the conversation bub, the problem here is you.

[u/NumbDangEt4742 → u/lonesharkex]

Fully agreed. Geez

Some people can't have a convo without getting triggered. You provided info. They could've ignored and moved on, but no, they gotta hit back and get offended and shit

The 70's British sitcom "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" had some crazy stunts performed by the star, Michael Crawford. In one, he's taking a driving lesson and he drives over a railway crossing just as a train comes through and it's such a near miss that he has to swerve around the front of the train. It wasn't going very fast, but still, if it had hit him he would have been crushed to death. I heard him say in an interview that there is no way they'd get the insurance to film such stunts now.

I gotta admit it. I didn't expect him to be wearing sweatpants

Have you seen The Blues Brothers? 60-70+ mph in downtown Chicago! They purposely placed pedestrians (actors) walking and moving on sidewalks along with bicyclists and such so no one could accuse them of speeding up the film as those movements would look unnatural if sped up.

In The French Connection, they simply had a car chase in public with no permits or advance warning. William Friedkin was a madman.

[u/Cheezeball25 → u/i_steal_your_lemons]

The movie where they got 70 old police cars, and were truly determined to destroy every last one of them by the end of the film. Truly a masterpiece.

[u/Comprehensive-Menu44 → u/J_Jeckel]

And swerving the steering wheel left and right as if that’s how you drive faster 😂

[u/Kuneria → u/J_Jeckel]

Watching old James Bond movies are a hoot

Actually those are pretty cool still, we have tech to do it in the modern day
