stpaulcarguy ◊ 2008-03-01 05:30	I love this car. It's too bad they fu@# it up though.
Skid ◊ 2008-04-21 00:20	Well, the crash scene was done via computer effects. Even when he jumps out of the car and runs off with it visible in the background, you can tell the car is just superimposed onto the escalator background.
jettalover ◊ 2011-09-20 03:27	When he jumps off the car and in effect also the escalator, a real license plate is seen, 4LYJ562. No smog test results on www.bar.ca.gov.
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-09-20 15:06	Glad they didn't abuse this car, one of the most distinctive designs of the entire 1970's.
jakeduff ◊ 2012-03-14 21:24	I own this car, and purchased it out of the garage of Tim Allen in North Hollywood. There were two cars used in the movie, one was wrecked and is gone, the other one is the car used for the "beauty" shots. It's the one I own. -- Last edit: 2012-03-14 21:25:24

San ◊ 2026-08-23 20:58	geyerfleet wrote 1972 Buick Riviera Coupe - from the film 'CRANK' with Jason Statham. Runs and Drives. 7.5L / 455ci Gas V8 with an Automatic Transmission. Has front-end damage - not repaired (see photos and plan to inspect in person on preview days). This is the exact vehicle from the police chase through the mall. Yes, the car that he took up the escalator. (No, that was not CGI!) Client Catalog # 1072. Looks rough, but nothing a good restoration job would undo

Skid ◊ 2026-09-21 02:45	I'm going to have to dispute what geyerfleet said there. That is VERY clearly CGI. The damage shown there also doesn't match the surviving stunt car.
