I had never saw the original 1974 version of "Gone in 60 Seconds". I found it and watched it on Youtube yesterday. Anyway, the plot was not the greatest. The car chase was exciting to watch, but totally unbelievable. That Mustang would have died long before that chase was over. And the amount of late model Mopar and Mercury cop cars that got wrecked was unreal! It made it look like the Cops could do nothing but run into each other or lose control and get stuck in ditches... The Challenger R/T getting crushed and the 71 Road Runner getting broadsided were particularly painful. For a movie produced by no namers, its must have had one hell of a budget. But the opening credits indicated it was produced by an auto wrecking yard? Anybody know more details about how this film came to be??
