My favourite Donald Sutherland film. Demolition derby footage from opening sequence 02:45-04:10. No film characters are directly involved in this footage, apart from some cabin shots of Donald driving with these as a backdrop, so this may well be true, so have not created pages apart from the Dodge Power breakdown truck. Comments/IDs as supplied before page clean-up. 707 is an early '50s Plymouth and black/white 95 is a 1958 Mercury (CougarTim) The silver car is a 1957 Chrysler of some kind. (Ddey65) One of the two pics of the '57 Chrysler also includes a 1956-57 Lincoln. (Ddey65) Yellow 82 is a 1956 Lincoln (CougarTim) #44 Late-1950s Mercury. Man, they go as fast as Star Trek extras with red uniforms. (Ddey65) Black 44 is yet another 1957 Mercury (CougarTim) #169 - 1953 Chevrolet unknown. (Ddey65) 1953 Chevrolet One-Fifty Special (rjluna2) The car in the claw is a 1951 Chevrolet (CougarTim) 1957 Ford (CougarTim) -- Last edit: 2013-04-07 01:05:41 |

Well done |

It's a great film, very funny, chaotic, and well recommended so deserved a good attempt. Thanks to everyone who helped (particularly with my technical problems). |

Planes for impdb: Consolidated PBY Catalina - http://www.answers.com/topic/consolidated-pby-catalina . The gang's attempts to get a derelict one flying again are a main part of the storyline - lots of footage inside and out with these just a selection (titles include the timing). A plane may have been harmed during the making of this film. A second example in a US Navy hangar (or could actually be the first one cleaned up if the producers cheated??) N2138X = 1965 Cessna 337 Super Skymaster C/N 337-0038 - http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N2138X.html Bits from N7627C (first issue of number) = Grumman F7F-3 Tigercat C/N 80410 - http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N7627C.html#aircraft384539 Jane Fonda's bedroom . |

I love the Catalina. It's such an ungainly looking beast. |

About archived comments: I think that the ratio is still not exactly right. But I come a little late... And about the pics not updating when re-uploaded to the site, just press F5 or click "Refresh page" to force the browser to download the new picture. |

Steelyard Blues is supposed to have a good soundtrack. http://www.allmusic.com/album/steelyard-blues-mw0000893286 |

It does - have posted the youtube link to the main theme above. The CD is unobtainable now without paying huge amounts, so explore other routes .... |

1st comment above for opening demolition derby sequence, CougarTim wrote "I think we've seen some of this footage before in other movies" - see main page comment pictures from ep1.21 of Rockford Files - looks like same track, but another event/meeting as car numbers don't obviously match. |
