He must have two seats: one for himself, and the other for his b***s. Holy cow!

Darryl, that's funny! Wow so impressive, would love to drive one of those machines. The other amazing thing is the fact that you saw hardly any people. How do you go blasting through someone's neighborhood and you do not see a person even hanging out a window. Not even a police presence to keep anybody out. Plus how do you see that as your crossing the bridge, and not stop, well one scene they where stopped. That was some plan for sure, and must have cost a bit to pay off San Fran, wonder if that is for an up coming movie? And the kicker at the end where he caught air in the stock version was great! Ohh and Larry would try this, not that he has big Balz ..............just has a bit of dementia!......ebo

Starting in Oakland and ending on Radio Rd.  lots of money spend on that video.

I have taken that off ramp off the bridge always wondered what it would be like at high speed.   They went down Battery Street I know that Stapes store been to the bank across the street.  a few times.  By the way if look close you can see people on the street taking pictures. 

I noticed that SF did not let them use real cable cars on California Street shots.

By the way it was shot in sections not as one complete run which would cut the cost down a lot.

The first pictures of him on the barge was shot way south of the Bay Bridge you cannot get there from California Street which was the last shot of him and he was headed away from the bay on California street. 

Ebo I had the same thought on the money but the areas they shot would not have been that busy on Saturday and Sundays.  

I love vacationing in SF.  Next time I will have to go looking for black marks on the road.  Anyone have an idea when this was shot?

That is some great driving! I like how yoy se the front end buckle when he hits after those jumps! And the one time you could see something shoot out the back of the car! Our Vettes would be totaled on the first jump! Can you just see that front end break off?

He broke da law.  He went the wrong way on Lombard Street. That is a one-way street going down.  I drove a full sized station wagon down that street in '82 and didn't think I would fit.   I could drive like that with my eyes closed........because if I did drive like that, my eyes would be closed!!!!!!
