Here then, is a tribute to those mad men who risked life and spine for disposable redneck car-chase comedies. Weâll hand over to Special Effects Supervisor Chris Corbould, who told Empire last summer: âWe spent a lot of time jumping it to see where it broke, strengthen that part, jump it again⦠We kept finding the weak links along the chain until we could more-or-less do anything with it. It wasnât the longest jump ever, but it was, at the time, apparently the longest jump by a car using its original engine (ie. William Bergquist
In the end I think our longest jump was about 70 feet, at 60mph. Itâs also a partial chronology of what weâre loosely calling âthe genreâ, from Bullitt to the Fast & Furious franchise: 25 of our favourite ridiculous vehicular moments from the last five decades. 0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.Sure doesn't look like the bird made it into that shotNo guess....but it is one of my favorite movies.Quote from: Maryland Bandit on November 02, 2007, 11:22:26 AMhttp://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=h60nl8.jpgThe car used in the scene to jump the blown up bridge in Hooper was a model car. Now that I think about it, its probably one of those jet engine funny cars!http://www.motortopia.com/garage/cars/carfanatic1And did you notice the gas prices in the Hooper clip on YouTube... 57 cents!
I'm not sure of the exact details, but the car that they drove around was a real '78 T/A. What it does have is this great moment where Sheriff Dirty Lyle (the late, great Ernest Borgnine) â presumably because of an early model sat navâs bad advice â takes a detour through a billboard and across a church roof.Bauer Consumer Media Ltd are authorised and regulated by the FCA(Ref No. We did it for real.”A tale of two-tones: Jeep Grand Wagoneer vs. Ferrari Dino 308 GT4This week in “that’s not a four-stroke:” a V-4 solenoid motorThe Subaru SVX is the weird futuristic car we didn’t appreciate enoughChip Foose reimagines the iconic Jaguar E-typeHooper’s and Ski’s rocket-fueled flight over the abyss is the baroque version of the infamousReynolds plays Sonny Hooper, the Greatest Stuntman Alive, who’s currently working on Roger Deal’s7 record-breakers from Gooding’s “Passion of a Lifetime” saleSign up for the latest automotive news and videos—in short, everything for people who love cars2020 Aston Martin Vantage review: Freethinkers welcomeStunt work isn’t just a job, it’s a way of life, but stuntmen are constantly being supplanted by younger, better stuntmen who are not yet afflicted with chronic pain or an awareness of their mortality.

Instead, Hooper punches him in the face, takes a bow, and smiles wide at the camera.A bar fight with Terry Bradshaw, a chariot race, backwards driving down the highway, a helicopter stunt without a parachute, a beer-drinking horse, and an impossible jump across a 325-foot gorge. Thankfully, the car that was sacrificed in the jump was a retired drag car, not the Trans Am (though after promoting the film at Chicago and Miami auto shows, the T/A vanished).The Trans Am is the star of the film’s climax, its most famous scene, one of the greatest stunts of all time: a jump across a 325-foot gorge. The Luc Besson-produced Taxi franchise is proof, if proof were needed, that the Americans donât have the monopoly on car carnage.
