The seven ups, the "sequel" chase to Bullit, designed by the same driver as the Bullit car chase scene

quote from wakipedia below



The film was produced by Philip D'Antoni, who also took on his sole-directing credit as director of this film: in addition, he was responsible for producing other gritty cop films as Bullitt and The French Connection. Several people who worked on The French Connection were also involved in this film, such as Scheider, screenwriter and police technical advisor Sonny Grosso, and composer Don Ellis.

As in Bullitt and The French Connection, Philip D'Antoni again utilized the work of stunt driver Bill Hickman (who also has a small role in the film) to create the chase sequence for this film. Filmed in and around Upper Manhattan, New York City, the sequence was edited by Jerry Greenberg who also has a producer credit here and who won an Academy Award for his editing work on The French Connection.
The chase sequence is located near the middle of the film: in it, Hickman's car being chased by Scheider. The chase itself lends heavily to the Bullitt chase, with the two cars bouncing down the gradients of uptown New York (like the cars on San Francisco's steep hills in the earlier film) with Hickman's 1973 Pontiac Grand Ville sedan pursued by Scheider's 1973 Pontiac Ventura Sprint coupe. While Scheider did some of his own driving, most of it was done by Hollywood stunt man Jerry Summers.
Location shooting was done in upper Manhattan on the George Washington Bridge, and on New Jersey's Palisades Interstate Parkway and New York's Taconic State Parkway.
In the accompanying behind-the-scenes featurette of the 2006 DVD release of the film, Hickman can be seen co-ordinating the chase from the street where we see a stuntman in a parked car opens his door as Hickman's vehicle takes it off its hinges. The end of the chase was Hickman's 'homage' to the death of Jayne Mansfield, where Scheider's car (driven by Summers) smashes into the back of a parked tractor-trailer, peeling off the car's roof.

Final chase scene in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. Hands down my favourite.
