The famous chase scene from ‘The Hunter’ (1980). Three 1979 Pontiac Grand Prixs were used during the chase up the Marina City West Tower parking garage. One of the cars, which was used in the stunt where the car dives out of the West Tower on the 17th floor, was fitted with a accelerator lock fixed to the trunk; the car was later salvaged from the Chicago River.
Six camera crews filmed the car dive including one from a hovering helicopter. In the original script - the fugitive Bernardo was supposed to survive the crash but the producers changed the script where the impact of the Grand Prix was too severe.
