Plot: When car nut and aspiring B movie maverick H.B. "Toby" Halicki released his debut film, he gave top billing to his car, a yellow 1973 Ford Mustang named Eleanor. That's a good indication of Halicki's ...( read more  )priorities in the original car-crunching, tire-squealing drive-in classic Gone in 60 Seconds. Halicki wrote, produced, starred, and did all of his own extraordinary stunt driving in the picture, the story of a career car thief who makes a deal to steal 48 cars for an overseas smuggler. OK, it's not Shakespeare. The plot is perfunctory at best, and Halicki's all thumbs when it comes to directing his wooden cast, but he gives a crash course in the mechanics of the car-theft biz and tops it off with one of the greatest car chases of all time: a 40-minute finale that roars through five Los Angeles-basin towns and destroys 93 cars in the process. It's a masterpiece of stunt driving, down-and-dirty photography, and sharp, furious cutting; the unsung hero of the picture is editor Warner Leighton, who paces the film perfectly and never lets it stall. Forget the messy Nicolas Cage in-name-only remake, this is outlaw auto cinema at its purest. --Sean Axmaker

  The half an hour plus car chase is way, way too freaking long. Just way too long. The only movie with a car chase that long that works for me is Smokey and the Bandit

  This movie was saved, for the most part, by the chase scene that they filmed brilliantly. Nonstop driving and crashing along a predetermined course lined with cameras. Superb!

  Half of this movie was really bad acting, pitch dark and unsharp pictures and terrible sound that made me wonder why I'm seeing it.
  The other half was a kinda good car chase which is pretty much the reason for giving this film any stars at all.
  Lucky us Halicki didn't do so many movies.

  Really. You peeps aught to look at the year in the title. 1974. I saw this in the theatre when it came out. Mostly shot in Long Beach and Torrance CA. Some of the streets have changed since then though.
