I was a kid living in Atlanta when they were shooting Sharky's Machine, which Burt starred/ produced AND directed. Good movie with a dark gritty feel. Great opening sequence with what at the time a ground breaking long range aerial tracking shot
Very interesting clip. Never saw the movie. But I recognize downtown Atlanta, at least the Westing hotel (cylinder building) and CNN Center. In that aerial shot, there is no Ga Pacific, 191, SunTrust, Centenial Park, not even the Georgia Dome which has already been torn down!
Its worth watching. Really well done for the time period.
At the time that round building was the Peachtree Plaza. It was by far the tallest bulding in Atlanta.
At the end of the movie one of the villains gets blown away and goes out the window.

The stunt man, Dar Robinson, actually went out a window and into an air bag...24 stories below. They only did one take
Here is Dar Robinson in another stunt

He later died while doing another "more routine" stunt on a motorcycle
