CB750 Honda Stealing the Scenes of Hollywood
« on: December 29, 2008, 09:04:45 AM »
I saw this posted on another board and enjoyed it, thought most here would even more-

Notice though that he starts out with a CB750, but spills under the truck with a CB500 Four - We're just normal citizens and not supposed to notice this right? I just watched it again and the bike switches over to a CB500 Four before they break through the building. While I believe the bikes do survive since I've put my machines (as a kid) through this and more, that car - no way. That railroad scene alone would have destroyed the running gear. There had to be multiple cars used.

Regards,
Gordon

That's awesome! Ol' Bronson was in HOT PURSUTE! That thing jumps like my old elsinore does......
Wesley snipes rides in on a cb750 in the movie Drop zone, I thought that was pretty cool considering the time the movie was made and hold old the bikes were.

they most likely switched to the 550 , because there is no way that little guy could pick up a 750 that quick ,  those f@ckers are heavy

You mean like this? Hill Climb scene starts at 2:25. Bike metamorphosis starts around 6:00.


Hmmmm, another Bronson...coincidence?   :)

That railroad scene was the END of at least one stunt-car.  The axle was probably snapped in two.

  I think that may come from an old 60's TV show called "Then Came Bronson".  Had nothing to do with Charles Bronson.  I could be wrong but that popped into my head the second I saw that hill climbing clip.  Love the way that Harley morphs into a two stroker.
Yes its from the 2 hour pilot to the series. In US it still runs at least once a year, TBS owns it now I think. In Europe it was a theatrical release. Legendary Bud Ekins prepared the bikes and did the stunt riding. It has a bit of a cult following now. www.jimbronson.com  I confess to owning the pilot, all the episodes and several of his (Michael Parks of "Kill Bill" fame) albums.

Apologies to Gordon for hijacking his thread. When it comes to TCB I can't help myself.

Ilbikes clip is from "The Stone Killer". In that clip the 750 has a dual disc setup seen at 0:29


Heres a trailer from the movie, Hondas show up at 0:22

I just got a copy of the Stone Killer in the mail today.  The last time I watched it was probably in the late '70's.  I remember a great car chase but didn't remember that Bronson was chasing a CB750.  Cool! 

Boy that movie is hard to find.  Now I have it.

I just bought "The Stone Killer" because my wife likes Charles Bronson movies and I vaguely remembered an awesome car chase scene.  It was a great surprise to see Bronson chasing after a CB750.  The rider had some pretty good moves!
