One of my neighbors at the marina many years ago was a guy named Bill Hickman. He was the 'bad guy' driving the Charger. Was a 'driving specialist' in Hollywood. A great stuntman until he hurt his back diving out of the third story bedroom window. There was no retirement program for injured stuntmen in those days. He passed away many years ago after a night of doing what he loved best. Playing cards, drinking, and telling stories. He was George C. Scott's driver in Patton as well..
I can't believe this....You ALL FORGOT another GREAT car chase scene that rivals Buillt.....and that is the chase scene in THE FRENCH CONNECTION...with Gene Hackman...and just guess who the driver was in that one.....the one and only Bill Hickman...not only did he drive but he also played the Federal Agent who Hackman acidentily shoots at the end of the movie....COME ON BOYZ GET A GRIP>>>
