Best movie car chase ever?

gnasha · 08-20-2003, 08:53 AM

Just wandering which most memorable motoring moment all of u guys will have?

Here's my top three.
1. The opening and final scene of "The Italian job" (Miura in the alps and Minis in Milan)
2. The opening scene of "Taxi" (a scooter trashing down Marseille's street with Pulp Fiction soundtrack)
3. The against the traffic chase in "Ronin" (Simple but good damn effective chase in Paris)

P.S. I'm talking about full length movie here, no tv programs or short film or advert...

Last I checked Ronin won an award for the car chase and that is about the only one I know that has, I liked that, but I also liked a few others

I like the opening chase scene in The Transporter til it got retarded and he jumped his BMW 735 off a bridge and onto a flat-bed trailer going down the highway...... cause we all know thats believeable

He's right, Bullit was the best damn car chase, because it was real. Even though they lost 11 hubcaps from 1 car during the chase and passed the same beetle 5 times doesn't make a difference. It is non-stop chasing, and is really cool, except the ending, with the fast motion skidding out, that was lame.

I suggest to any and all of you to watch the chase scene in bullit if you havn't already. We like to call it the "15 minute movie" because all the acting in the rest of it sucks.

When there is a special one-year-only Mustang named after the movie... you know it's good.

John Travolta with a TVR in Swordfish.

ronin and bullitt are the best car chases...

Yes, Ronin was also wonderful with the Audi S8.

The original gone in 60 seconds wasn't a measly 15 min car chase, it was a 45 min car chase, and they only used ONE mustang. It needed to be repaired a few times, but still. ONE car.
What about Vanishing Point? It was a chase almost through the whole movie.

OMG hasn't anyone heard of Smokey and the Bandit? It might not be the fastest paced or have the great sound effects like new movies but hey.............it was darn cool.

taxi 2 also had 2 great chases

1-at the start of the movie the taxi(a white v6 peugeot 406)storms down the mountain roads with a pregnant woman in the back and he catches up on a rally peugeot 206 in and he passes him while drifting in a u-turn

2-in the same movie when he has to go to the airport for a client .the road ahead is a long 270 deg. turn and he passes by the exterior a ducatti 749s
