Nice research! The 914 flies very well due to the perfect weight distribution.

With all the focus on shifting...I'm pretty sure Dr. Evil sees this as PORN.

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Nov 25 2012, 09:43 AM)  I think the bus jump happens at somewhere on Jackson street, but I can't be sure. By the looks of the brick building in the background, I'd guess the jump took place near 7th St. & Mary Ave.   |

I can personally attest to the fact that when a 914 goes airborne...it will land directly on the nose like it did in this jump - not 'flat' like other cars do in the movies... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

QUOTE(Katmanken @ Nov 25 2012, 11:14 AM) Other than an old RB47 taking off with rocket assist (RATO), dont think that I've never seen so much smoke coming out of an aerial vehicle... We 'Mericans only believe it is a true jump if dust or smoke is following the car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/2.bp.blogspot.com-8357-1353876090.1.jpg) |

So, did they survive the jump and subsequent crash with no seat belts on?

Great shots! I've never heard of this film. That parking garage is perfect for the 914 to lose a tail. In real life I don't think the Mercedes could've kept up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
And you can't lose a girl out the passenger door, I can attest to that one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The lady holding the dash for dear life is pretty real though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

In the last scene showing the girl before the jump, the passenger door is magically back on.

One with the riv's for the chase scenes and door, one with the (fake?) fuchs for the jump. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

That six shooter must be some sort of magic gun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
It reminds me of the 5 hubcaps flying off the Charger during the Bullitt chase scene. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

QUOTE(Ed_F @ Nov 26 2012, 01:56 AM) That six shooter must be some sort of magic gun. Yes, although he can't hit anything, he gets credit for 10 or 12 tactical reloads in a revolver while standing in a moving car. But I suppose there is much to be said for the '73+ door beams. That door took a direct hit in the upholstery but there was no exit wound through the sheet metal. As we see 2 scenes later, it's not like they were trying to save the door... |

I think that it is a failure of the Waco police department. Even in Texas, waving a gun out the window of a car will get someone to call 911 and get you pulled over. Much less standing in the sun roof and repeatedly firing it while driving. That will draw cops like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) draws flies.

Almost every pickup in my high school parking lot had a gun rack in the back. And they all had some sort of firearm in them. Most of my friends parents carried a pistol. But they had common sense not to shoot it out of a moving car like this. And it still would have attracted cops like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) attracts flies. |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Nov 25 2012, 11:43 AM) OK.. I am a bit intrigued by this movie, so I did some research online. At 1:54, the 914 makes a turn from Washington Avenue onto North 6th street. This is where the girl tries to fall out of the car because she wasn't wearing a seat belt. At 2:04, they had to reverse direction for filming, because they are then going south on North 6th street back in the direction of Washington avenue. Using google maps, you can see the jail changes sides of the road. Also the building in the distance is distinctive. At 2:27, the manage to jump one block northeast to 5th street, and that is where the white Ford crashes into the little cop scooter writing parking tickets. You can tell because of the distinctive building with the diamond shaped insets. 2:33 The Ford crashes into the "Hub Clotheiers" shop. It's still there, although it has changed a bit. At 2:43 they back up and reset for the sidewalk scene. The 914 driving on the sidewalk goes past the Hub Clotheiers on Austin Avenue, and then past the building with the ridges in the walls and the pillars. It's now a Bank of America, but I don't know what it was then. At 3:00. still on Austin Avenue, they go past the guy on the ladder at the TSO building. The building is still there, but TSO is not. You can see the sign is still around. At 3:06, they leave the curb at Austin Avenue and 6th street. I think the bus jump happens at somewhere on Jackson street, but I can't be sure. If you look close enough, you can see smoke coming from the "grassy knoll" Is it just me or is it coincidence that only 1-1/2 hours earlier from the original captured photo this occured:  |
