It was the dream of H.B. Halicki to make a movie about a car chase. And the man did it all, he wrote, directed, produced, acted and did stunts for this flick. It became cult due that reason. The flick itself doesn't really has a good story to tell. It's pure a flick about a car chase and here we have a Ford Mustang Fastback called Eleanor to be transported from one point to another. But the driver is being ripped-off by his boss and the chase is on.
It is the chase that makes it worth watching. Knowing that these days a lot of the cars being demolished in this flick are worth a lot of money. The chase itself clocks in over 40 minutes and it's all about crashes going on between cops and parked cars and of course cops against cops. For the lovers of muscle cars it is naturally worth watching but it's easy to spot that it was a low budget flick. The 'actors' in the flick were what they did in real life. I mean, a cop was a real cop...
The people standing on the streets just have a look at that, they are bait for the cars. Luckily no accidents did occur. But also it is so fine to see the real US back then in the early seventies. I do prefer 'Vanishing Point (1971)' but this cult classic here is also a must see.
