Car chase

[dkoda · 8/10 · 26 March 2023]

I think the chase was done in Covina CA at the Covina Drive-in My family has seen many movies there 4 real and 6 step (brothers and sisters) First movie we seen there was Live and Let Die There was a small wall in which you can climb over and there we playing a cartoon. Me my 3 brothers and 2 sisters were sitting on the ground watching (what we thought was Felix the Cat) People were honking their horns " Get out of here"!!

We're kids. It's a cartoon!!. Went back over to the wall to the movie we were watching told my mom and stepdad about it and they said that it was Fritz the Cat Good times!!!

A Boy's Hero Worship Of Gillis

[Jimmy_the_Gent4 · 3 January 2019]

Mickey, a young boy disabled in a car accident is encouraged in his therapy by his new friend Officer Gillis. Jay Warfield is a nasty drunk arrested by Willie and tries to get revenge by fire bombing his car.

A lot of things going on in this episode to make it very good show. Mickey is played by Radames Pera, who was the young Caine in Kung Fu. Mickey's brother is killed by the fire bomb meant for Willie, causing Mickey to lose faith in his friend. Willie shot at Warfield and Internal Affairs think Willie may have shot the brother because they cannot find the bullet, which they believe melted in the fire. The bullet hit Warfield who is hiding out and still wanting to get Willie. Warfield is played by Lou Antonio, famous for the Star Trek episode Let That Be Your Last Battlefield and Cool Hand Luke.
