Production

World's Wildest Police Videos began in 1998 and ran for four seasons, comprising a total of 56 episodes, before being officially cancelled in 2002. In Season 4, the name was shortened to Police Videos.[3]

Most of the police videos featured on the show were from various U.S. police departments, but footage from other nations such as Argentina, South Korea, Brazil, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom also appeared. Video sources included cameras from police cars, helicopters, store security systems, news reporters, and private citizens from around the world. Much of the footage had previously only been seen by law enforcement officials.[6]

The show became popular with viewers. It had the highest ratings of any Fox network television special to that date. It was also featured on Entertainment Tonight and was re-aired later that month.[7] It was the first sweeps-month special ever to run twice during a sweeps period by Fox.

Format

The series began with the series of specials entitled World's Scariest Police Chases, which was broadcast on February 2, 1997. It was narrated by actor Peter Coyote, and featured commentary by Captain C. W. Jensen of the Portland Police Bureau. Five additional episodes of World's Scariest Police Chases aired, with the second on April 27, 1997, third on November 4, 1997, fourth on February 17, 1998, fifth on April 28, 1998,[8] and the sixth on April 29, 1999.[9][10][11]

A further two special episodes called World's Scariest Police Shootouts aired around this time as well. It was hosted by John Bunnell, a retired police officer and former Sheriff of Multnomah County, Oregon. The two episodes focused on police shootouts rather than chases themselves, although some of the clips featured a car chase along with a shootout. The first episode of World's Scariest Police Shootouts aired on May 15, 1997, and the second episode, World's Scariest Police Shootouts 2, aired on April 23, 1998. Both episodes were narrated and hosted by John Bunnell. The episodes featured more well-known content, such as the North Hollywood shootout, the murder of Darrell Lunsford, the 1991 Sacramento hostage crisis, White supremacist Chevie Kehoe and his shootout with police, and the 1996 Honolulu hostage crisis.[12]

Eventually, the show was broadcast weekly. Bunnell's commentary was often characterized by puns, multiple clichés, over-dramatic descriptions of the struggle between good and evil, the police and criminals, victims and abusers, etc. Although Bunnell hosted and commented on most of the show, most police video segments were dubbed with the actual law enforcement officials acting in the situation presented. Tire screeching noises, horn beeps, automobile collision sounds and sirens are often overdubbed into these segments; this is especially noticeable in footage where vehicles are driving over dry grass or sand.

It has been widely noticed that the same voice is used in almost every helicopter footage scene, regardless of the location the footage is from. This uncredited role is said to be that of Lawrence Welk III, who usually goes by "Larry Welk," and is a reporter and helicopter traffic pilot for KCAL-TV and KCBS-TV in Los Angeles. He is also the grandson of famed musician Lawrence Welk.

Originally, a typical episode included sections entitled: "PIT maneuver," "Car Thieves," "Rainy Chase," "Big Rig Road Block," "Jumping Off Bridge," and "Drunk Drivers." This was dropped after the first season, and replaced with a string of clips, each commentated on by Bunnell. After a few videos, a small clip of Bunnell would be shown, often describing the police mentality behind the videos that were about to appear.

Occasionally, episodes were dedicated to police officers killed in the line of duty and an episode featured the footage of the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 in 1996.

A video game based on the series was released for the PlayStation in 2001, entitled World's Scariest Police Chases, also featuring Bunnell. The game received mixed reviews, ranging from a 3.6/10 from GameSpot.com,[13] to a 9/10 from Official PlayStation Magazine (UK).

There were also home video releases on VHS of the first three World's Scariest Police Chases around late 1997, which included never-before-seen footage that wasn't shown on FOX. The specials would be re-released as Deluxe Versions, with minor differences.

In pop culture

In the Family Guy episode "Quagmire's Baby", there is a sequence of Fred Flintstone fleeing from the police in the family car, in an episode of World's Wildest Police Videos. Flintstone crashes, and attempts to flee on foot, but is delayed by the Hanna-Barbera skidaddle running effect. A similar sequence was used in the episode "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side", when TIE fighters and a Star Destroyer were chasing the Millennium Falcon. These sequences were narrated by Bunnell himself.

It was also parodied on MADtv as "World's Queeniest Police Chases".

Some of the Alarm für Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei, Der Clown and one from Die Wache car crashing clips were used in 2 episodes in 1998.

linksProduction EditWorld s Wildest Police Videos began in 1998 and ran for four seasons comprising a total of 56 episodes before being officially cancelled in 2002 In Season 4 the name was shortened to Police Videos 3 Most of the police videos featured on the show were from various U S police departments but footage from other nations such as Argentina South Korea Brazil Russia Australia New Zealand and the United Kingdom also appeared Video sources included cameras from police cars helicopters store security systems news reporters and private citizens from around the world Much of the footage had previously only been seen by law enforcement officials 6 The show became popular with viewers It had the highest ratings of any Fox network television special to that date It was also featured on Entertainment Tonight and was re aired later that month 7 It was the first sweeps month special ever to run twice during a sweeps period by Fox Format EditThe series began with the series of specials entitled World s Scariest Police Chases which was broadcast on February 2 1997 It was narrated by actor Peter Coyote and featured commentary by Captain C W Jensen of the Portland Police Bureau Five additional episodes of World s Scariest Police Chases aired with the second on April 27 1997 third on November 4 1997 fourth on February 17 1998 fifth on April 28 1998 8 and the sixth on April 29 1999 9 10 11 A further two special episodes called World s Scariest Police Shootouts aired around this time as well It was hosted by John Bunnell a retired police officer and former Sheriff of Multnomah County Oregon The two episodes focused on police shootouts rather than chases themselves although some of the clips featured a car chase along with a shootout The first episode of World s Scariest Police Shootouts aired on May 15 1997 and the second episode World s Scariest Police Shootouts 2 aired on April 23 1998 Both episodes were narrated and hosted by John Bunnell The episodes featured more well known content such as the North Hollywood shootout the murder of Darrell Lunsford the 1991 Sacramento hostage crisis White supremacist Chevie Kehoe and his shootout with police and the 1996 Honolulu hostage crisis 12 Eventually the show was broadcast weekly Bunnell s commentary was often characterized by puns multiple cliches over dramatic descriptions of the struggle between good and evil the police and criminals victims and abusers etc Although Bunnell hosted and commented on most of the show most police video segments were dubbed with the actual law enforcement officials acting in the situation presented Tire screeching noises horn beeps automobile collision sounds and sirens are often overdubbed into these segments this is especially noticeable in footage where vehicles are driving over dry grass or sand It has been widely noticed that the same voice is used in almost every helicopter footage scene regardless of the location the footage is from This uncredited role is said to be that of Lawrence Welk III who usually goes by Larry Welk and is a reporter and helicopter traffic pilot for KCAL TV and KCBS TV in Los Angeles He is also the grandson of famed musician Lawrence Welk Originally a typical episode included sections entitled PIT maneuver Car Thieves Rainy Chase Big Rig Road Block Jumping Off Bridge and Drunk Drivers This was dropped after the first season and replaced with a string of clips each commentated on by Bunnell After a few videos a small clip of Bunnell would be shown often describing the police mentality behind the videos that were about to appear Occasionally episodes were dedicated to police officers killed in the line of duty and an episode featured the footage of the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 in 1996 A video game based on the series was released for the PlayStation in 2001 entitled World s Scariest Police Chases also featuring Bunnell The game received mixed reviews ranging from a 3 6 10 from GameSpot com 13 to a 9 10 from Official PlayStation Magazine UK There were also home video releases on VHS of the first three World s Scariest Police Chases around late 1997 which included never before seen footage that wasn t shown on FOX The specials would be re released as Deluxe Versions with minor differences Series overview EditSeasonEpisodesOriginally airedTV SeasonTime 14 RankFirst
