So a friend sent me this link of the car chase from 1990’s Short Time, starring Dabney Coleman, and it’s true that if you have seven and a half minutes to burn, it’s worth a look — a reminder of the kinetic power of non-CGI-infused chase sequences. The early aerial shots really help sell it, and the hood’s smash of the windshield gave me post-traumatic flashbacks — I had that happen once, at 65mph on a freeway.

I particularly enjoy Matt Frewer’s exclamation of, “Your yogurt!” as well as the varied, repeated uses of the phrase “son of a bitch,” which is the perfect low-grade epithet for this chase. Again, for the YouTube clip, click here.
