DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY (May 17, 1974) begins with a supermarket robbery in Stockton, California which immediately becomes a chase. Peter Fonda is a former race car driver pulling crazy stunts while his mechanic Adam Roarke simmers in the sidelines. Mary is a girl Fonda seduced the previous night who jumps into the first escape vehicle, a blue 1968 Chevy Impala four door. They switch cars to a 1969 Charger 440, eluding CHP Polara squad cars and helicopters through a maze of vineyard back roads.
The stunts are done at real speed. The Impala takes a jump at the start. Things ramp up from there when the Impala drives between two oncoming semi trucks cracking the windshield in the process. Later, a right angle turn is taken at top speed right across the path of an oncoming bus, missing it by inches. The best stunt is probably when the Impala jumps a drawbridge in the process of being raised. The frame of the Impala shoots sparks when it lands and then veers to the right to clear a line of cars parked facing the other way.
