Awesome! He drove the paint right off that driver`s, front wheel.

I need a pair of DC shoes if they can make me drive like that!

All the tire marks from some of the aerial shots shows how many takes it took on a few. But impressive driving, excellent photography and editing. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if it had Blackfire on it?

Great video, I just watched that this morning. A friend shared it on Facebook. Here is another great one. It`s from the final episode of the TV Series Alcatraz. It`s basically a remake of the Bullitt chase.

Considering what can be done nowadays with cameras and CGI I am often disappointed with car chase scenes. Perhaps drivers like Ken should be employed for filming.

By today`s standards it might not be great, but the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" chase scene is still one of the best. For those only familiar with the 2000 remake it can be seen on youtube. (broken into 4 parts.) It is a 34 minute chase scene all done with ONE car.


From Wikipedia:

Stunts

"The jump scene at the end of the chase is notable and set the standards for a number of subsequent pictures. Acting as the climax to the lengthy chase sequence, the jump manages to achieve a height of 30` over a 128` in distance — a feat which would not be easily replicable without the use of modern CGI. Halicki compacted ten vertebrae performing this jump. The injury was not very serious, although according to director of photography Jack Vacek, Halicki never walked the same again.
(I remember hearing it was a world record at the time, but can`t find confirmation now.)

Real accidents

"The scene where the Mustang tags a car on the highway and spins into a light pole at 100 mph was a real accident. Halicki was badly hurt and filming was stopped while he recovered. According to people on the set, after the mishap the first thing that Halicki said when he regained consciousness was "Did we get coverage?"

"Toby Halicki was killed while filming a stunt for the sequel, Gone in 60 Seconds 2. Production began with filming the final chase sequence with only a few lines of dialog and a few parts of the chase sequence filmed before his death.

Well wiki is wrong then because that jump at the end of `Gone in 60 seconds` was anything but real. I have seen that movie a million times and every time I see that part I can`t help but notice the computer generated graphics when he makes that jump, makes me feel like I`m watching toy story

Not the 2000 remake. The original "Gone in 60 Seconds" was filmed in 1974, long before CGI was possible. Halicki was a stunt driver who, after being so disappointed in the quality of car scenes, wrote, directed and starred in the movie. It is the movie that set the standard for car chase scenes. Most of the 34 minute chase scene was done impromptu; just a basic outline of a script.


Jump is @ 5:25 of part 4, accident that injured driver and stopped production @ 1:20 of part 3
