Anecdotes
When viewed after director H.B. Halicki's second movie, La grande casse 2 (1982), this film becomes an interesting piece of meta-fiction. Most of the movie is a shortened version of Halicki's first film, La grande casse (1974), with a new, lengthy opening sequence and various other new scenes which create a new subplot surrounding Hoyt Axton and the LAPD Auto-Theft Division. In La grande casse 2 (1982), La grande casse (1974) is presented as a fictional film in post-production - this movie's new opening sequence is partially seen being shot in La grande casse 2 (1982), during which Christopher Stone's character comments that Halicki (himself playing a fictional director) was "not excited" by the first three minutes of the original film (train crash investigation), and is therefore filming an entirely new sequence. As such, this film is the result of what is seen being shot in La grande casse 2 (1982), and thus takes place in a different universe. In reality, Halicki sought to improve upon the original La grande casse (1974) by re-releasing it with these new scenes, which are far more extravagant and costly than what was originally shot. Without the different title, it could almost be seen as a "director's cut" of the original movie.

Gaffes
The opening chase takes place entirely in Long Beach. While Captain Gibbs is an LAPD captain, he initiates the pursuit because he is on scene and witnesses his daughter's fiancé's car being stolen. However, the majority of responding units are from the LAPD instead of the Long Beach PD - and these LAPD units are parked in various areas around Long Beach, where they have no business being, particularly at the Queen Mary. All of the detectives who respond are part of Gibbs' auto-theft unit and it is highly unlikely that all would be in Long Beach at the same time working on different jobs. The dispatcher even says that "assisting units are Long Beach PD." Long Beach PD would be the primary pursuit agency, with assistance from the sheriff's department and Highway Patrol (as in the film). Captain Gibbs would be the only LAPD officer involved, as the other detectives and marked units have no jurisdiction in Long Beach.

Citations
Captain Gibbs: [the telephone rings] Gibbs, here.
Carl: Captain Gibbs, this is Carl and your people won't let me get my personal effects out of the car. It's bad enough my Bricklin's broken. I could lose my image.
Captain Gibbs: [sarcastically] You know, you're really breaking my heart, Carl.
Carl: But, captain, they won't let me see my baby. I mean, some cop said they won't release it because of evidence or something. Come on, what's the deal?
Captain Gibbs: That's why we have impound lots.
Carl: Look! I have to show what's left of my car to the insurance adjuster or I'll never get any money out of it! You gotta help me! Please!
Captain Gibbs: I'll meet you down there at 4:00.
Carl: 4:00? I have to be in Hollywood, this afternoon for an important meeting. Let's make it 2:30. What do you say?
Captain Gibbs: No. Good-bye, Carl.
[Hangs up]
Carl: [Still on the other line] What about my reputation?
Captain Gibbs: Shut up, Carl.

Crédits fous
The original end credits from Gone in 60 Seconds are shown at the end of the movie, along with new credits for the additional scenes. Because this was supposed to be an "original" movie, this creates continuity issues since most of the people credited for the 1974 footage did not work on the new scenes.

Versions alternatives
Almost all of the sound effects and all of the music has been completely changed for the DVD release, in both the new "Deadline" footage and the old "Gone in 60 Seconds" footage.

Not very often do you get someone to rip-off their own film

This is basically the cult classic 'Gone in 60 Seconds' with some added plot and few a few extra heaps of twisted metal.

H.B. Halicki wanted to improve upon his initial successful film, so in conjunction while shooting the sequel 'The Junkman' he squeezed in some time to shoot the few extra scenes seen here. The result is pretty worthless. Like many camp classics, it is not plot or aesthetic quality that makes them good. It is the tongue-in-cheek nature that makes them fun romps. Can you imagine 'The Evil Dead' being "improved" upon? Sounds stupid to even consider, though Sam Raimi is trying to get a remake off the ground. However, he is pretty much starting from scratch with that, while here you have the same film with scenes added years later. The differences between these scenes are so apparent that it becomes ridiculous. Styles of clothes and even the condition of the old and new shots is so inconsistent that you'll be thinking an ape edited the film.

What is even more disappointing that the "additions" don't add anything. They merely stretch out a film which goes against the whole point of good editing where you trim for good pacing. Also, the new chase scene in the beginning is highly mediocre and the climatic chase from the original is here untouched so by the time you get past the middle of the film you've seen it all before. The funny thing is H.B. Halicki's widow introduces the film as if it were a totally new movie on the DVD introduction.

So only watch this if you want to see the famous 40 minute chase scene and cannot get the original in your hands. Or if you want to see an overblown array of car crashing that is the only thing that H.B Halicki managed to shoot for yet another chase film , but was killed in a stunt accident. That comes as a special feature on the DVD. But it is really nothing special and gets well beyond the line of ridiculousness with its slow motion, ever mounting metallic carnage. That essentially amounts to this film being waste of time. 2/10

Rated PG for metal crunching mayhem
