10 More Best Mind-Blowing 1970s Car Chase Films (Part 2)

This is the 2nd video in our 1970's Best Car Chase Film series. See the 1st one here:

Grab some popcorn and embrace that 1970s vibe while we go back to look at some of the Best 1970s Movies for all of us Car Chase Fanatics.

In the 1970s, Car Chase and Crash movies consisted of generally low budget films that catered to the summer movie market. These movies didn’t have lofty artistic ambitions and the plot, characters, and dialogue were mostly forgettable. We just came for the car stunt action, smashes and explosions, man! But the cars, chase scenes, vehicle stunt work and crashes were the stuff of legend.

The 1970’s were the days before CGI had taken over movie effects with its unrealistic physics-defying action and instead relied on careful stunt planning executed by unseen superhero stuntmen that gifted car chase movie fans with the celluloid brilliance that’s still electrifying some 50 years later.

Car chase movies were so much better without this CGI stuff

[mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Very well done video, especially liked the mention of all the cars, naming them and the years correctly.

[ronaldmiller]

GREAT VIDEO!! THE 60-70S CARS ARE THE BEST YEARS EVER, ,. THATS WHY I ONLY DRIVE 70S CARS TO THIS DAYS.. YA!! FEAR IS A KEY GREAT, , THE CARS..

[robertkroberjr.]

Love the video! But seeing those beautiful cars getting destroyed is heartbreaking! 🥺

[manofthehour]

The introduction detailing the talented stuntwork and filming techniques is an excellent observation that underscores the timelessness of these scenes, and how there is no comparison to overused and underwhelming CGI.

If you like cars and fast driving, arguably nothing captures the essence of such better than The Gumball Rally. It's a genuine wind in your hair, WOT, spirit of driving experience, that actually uses the real actors some of the time driving fast. The scenes with the Cobra and "Daytona" particularly get your heart going, but the Camaro racing through the winding road is also pretty awesome.

[michaelp.]

YES! - - - Glad you included "Gumball Rally" here!
(Saw that movie at a car show in the early 1980s!! 😃)

A Real Blast from da past,
Thank you 😊

I was between 8 & 15 when these movies came out, great time to be a kid in the 70s & go to the drive-in ✌💖☮

The gumball rally was the first film my dad took me to the cinema to see when I was a young boy and I loved it and it was my first introduction to the AC COBRA and I was hooked on them and they are still my favourite car. I'm 52 now and I have a DVD of the movie which took me two years to find and it's a treasured possession.

Real cars smackin’’ into each other with over the top fireballs! Lived it, loved it!

[Rigel_Chiokis]

I remember going to the drive in to see many car chase movies in the 1970's when I was a kid. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry was another great one; White Line Fever; Gone in 60 Seconds, which you mentioned.

Out of *thousands* of nice YouTube channels that I know, this is one of the most intelligent ones. ♥ And I feel so lucky that you apply your view&style to topics such as 1980s fads. Looking forward to binge-watching your other videos and seeing your fanbase grow in the future!

[cantcme]

Mad Max will always be one of the top all time greatest movies ever made & happy to see it is #1 as it should be..nice top 10 list too.

[optimaprime]

I like how u added the movie mistakes.

[CarsandCats]

Cannonball Run got me into Camaros. Thank you, Gary Busey. "Roll on, So, I bought a '72 RS/SS after I saw the movie.

[muckle]

“ that Plymouth had a hemi with a torqueflite” - never forgotten that line!

[bradwithers]

Love both videos! I hope you'll have a part three in the works as I do have a suggestion. Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. Maybe not exactly a chase movie, but many classic cars appear in that film.

[MAVERICK]

Hi there. Great video here. But I still don't know why in this kind of videos allways forget the 40 minutes of one of the most great car chase films of the 70's, I'm talking about GONE IN 60 SECONDS, with the fabulous yellow Ford Mustang 1973. The original Eleanor. My favourte. Anyway. Greetings form México City.
