Goldfinger got a lot of value when it crushed what looked like a new Lincoln Continental - it seemed incredibly decadent for anybody, even a 007 film, to do such a thing. or the producers couldn't abide the waste involved. Normal movies were apparently so cheap that cars were too expensive to wreck for one shot.

That film let the stunt drivers go all the way, unlike, say the suicidal Grand Prix in On the Beach, where death cars are towed through shots and replaced across cuts. The wild and wooly It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World had so many extreme car stunts that we sheltered kids thought it was irresponsible - what if everybody tried to drive like that? One car vaulting over a simple dip in the road appears to fly through the air for eighty or ninety feet. The cars are going full tilt, leaning into curves, their suspensions compressed to the max. There are exceptions, but I first noticed the safety rules being thrown away in Don Siegel's 1958 The Lineup, in a car chase from the western end of San Francisco, past the Golden Gate Bridge, and into the city's Downtown. Although even silent movies had reveled in hair-raising car stunts, for decades filmmakers relied on under-cranked cameras and special effects to pull off hairy car chases and crashes I think that famous screeching sound effect of a messy impact of metal and glass was invented so that producers could depict crashes by showing bystanders looking off-screen, with shocked expressions on their faces. In 2000 the The Fast and the Furious franchise reawakened screen epics about old school laying-rubber-on-the-highway thrills: fast cars and street racing.
