Chases?: The movie is a chase itself

Vilero, you beat me to this one. This is the car chase movie Ron Howard did before Grand Theft Auto!

I'm sorry Ddey, I didn't know that. I got this movie one month ago but, until now, I didn't watch it. Sorry again.

i would have had this movie done a year ago! but netflix is always saying it not available!!!!!!!

They said the same thing to me, typhlosion. They also said this about A Thousand Clowns(1965) and A New Leaf(1971), and I'd love to add images from both.


So, vilero, I'm perfectly okay that you beat me to this. You've got nothing to be sorry about.

I was wondering why this one hadn't been done already (until I tried to find it on Netflix, then I gave up). I love this movie! Great work, vilero.

No. I have never heard of a woman being called 'Christopher'. We do have Christina, Christine, Cristina, Kristine, Kris, Chris, & maybe more I missed. That does not mean there aren't woman with that name; they are just uncommon.

before eating the dust , you have to bite it .. :D

I was curious about the Christopher as a girl name thing and found https://www.nancy.cc/2018/09/19/christopher-girl-name/ . Might be an explanation but yep, looks really uncommon

Almost forgot about this one... Kinda wish I did... :D

Several images remain old and blurry (and squished) as HD is another gloriously matted widescreen brouhaha which chops off vehicle details, so no replacements.

bonus blurry [*][*] something or other hit by the Chevy ambulance:

was it that bad ?? yes B-level 70s car chase movie but don't think it was that bad

A-lister would be
- Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
- Vanishing Point
- The Driver (1978)
- The Blues Brothers
- Gone in 60 Seconds (low budget indy movie but longest car chase put on film)
- Duel (1971)
- Smokey and the Bandit

not chase but race themed
- The Gumball Rally (1976)
- Le Mans (1971)
- Deathrace 2000

worthy mention
- Hi-Riders (1978)
- Fast Company (sole non horror flick of David Cronenberg)


movies like Bullitt , The French Connection, The Seven-Ups have just 1 car chase so not much in the genre IMO

@mike962
I thought this movie was a long, never-ending car chase filled with wanton destruction, idiot cops and hormonal teenagers in dire need of lobotomy. Not what I needed for my headache. :D
I had no expectations of the movie (in that all I knew about it was that Ron Howard was in it), but perhaps my problem was that the comedy didn't work for me, I didn't like that parts of the chase looked like Looney Tunes, and the only character I liked was the sheriff who was supposed to be the antagonist... I did like "Mabel", though. And the stunt with the car with the sheriff in it tumbling down the hillside was very impressive.

Incidentally, if you want a looooong car chase in what is otherwise not a chase movie, try "$" (aka "Dollars"). It's been ages, but if memory serves, the chase goes on for some half an hour or so. It's a long time coming, though.

Won't argue with your list, but I'd add these near the top
- Fear Is The Key - magnificent chase, but rest of film is shite
- Eyewitness - between (**cue drumroll**) a Land Rover and a Triumph Herald, but don't let that put you off
- Goodbye Pork Pie and its successor Pork Pie

Eat My Dust should not be mistaken as Smokey Bites the Dust which:

Steals all of the chases from Grand Theft Auto, Moving Violation and Thunder and Lightning.

And from Eat My Dust

Not necessarily. Boom mics and such things wandering into a shot is sometimes just a goof. I should think that the makers of a low budget 1970s movie would certainly count on the movie being shown on TV and frame it accordingly.
