A View to A Kill (1985) Chase Five

A bona fide chase. Stacey Sutton and Bond escape the fire at San Francisco City Hall. They steal a ladder truck belonging to the SFFD. About a half dozen Dodge Monaco and Plymouth Gran Fury police cars give chase.


Geographically, there is no consistency. The chase starts at City Hall, goes down Market, then down Portrero Hill, through Van Ness, and ends at a fictional drawbridge. While this is all taking place, Bond gives up the driving and crawls back to the ladder, at first swinging wildly, and then driving the ladder car.


The chase ends at the drawbridge. The operator is instructed to raise it. The fire truck jumps and makes it across. The police cars don't. As the bridge is raised, they slide backwards and crash into each other. One of the Monacos is crushed by the drawbridge mechanism.
