Best Black and White Car Movie – Thunder Road
With all the slick CGI and special effects used in today’s super car movies, we sometimes forget about the simple awesome stunt driving of the great Carey Loftin in movies like Thunder Road.
Thunder Road also actually had a plot and the incredible Robert Mitchum in his prime.
The rumors have long been circulating that the “shine” cars were bought from actual Carolina Moonshiners.
The 1950′s Ford and the 1957 Ford both are pushed to their limits and show some cool modifications.
The 1957 Chevy cop car had the added feature of being able to grab the rear bumper of the suspect vehicle. Definitely, a cool addon
The movie is so good, you forget it’s in black and white.
One of my all time favorite movies. The car chase scenes were well done and believable. Don’t forget about the background music which was absolutely perfect for this movie. One scene near the end confused me though. It was where the two men in a Buick were putting out a spike strip on the road to stop Robert Mitchum’s character and they poured some liquid over them. Were those two men the bad guys or Feds? And why the liquid? To create glare maybe?
