Seven-Ups: Car Chase
 

Just got to watch a VHS copy of the Seven-Ups with Roy Scheider. I seriously doubt this will ever show up on dvd.

But man, that car chase was incredible!!! It's just amazing how mesmering that scene was considering it was made back in 1973 with no form of optical effects whatsoever. Unfortunately, the rest of the film sucked.

Never heard of it. But I sure do love a good car chase.

I haven't seen that since it was at the theater, so I forgot the sucked part -- I remembered the car chase though. I suspect it will show up on DVD eventually (due to that car chase).

I remember this movie fondly, including the car chase! I hope it shows up one day on DVD!

Suddenly I'm reminded of this thread about actors playing the same character in different movies:

In both Seven-Ups and The French Connection, Roy Scheider played a cop with the first name of Buddy. The French Connection is pretty well remembered for its car chase as well. I always thought the movies were related, but I just checked IMDB and it states that Scheider's character in Seven-Ups had a different last name.

Great car chase indeed. If you look closely, you can see additional cameras lined up along the road to catch the oncoming cars as they pass by.

Bill Hickman the actor/stuntman who did the driving stunt also was involved in the other famous car chase scene in Bullitt. He also doubling for Gene Hackman in the car chase in The French Connection.

Good movie. :up:
