Best Car chase

[Aki]

The new movie "The Fast and the Furious", that comes out June 22, 2001. I'm sure you guys seen the previews and I was just looking at the insert I had in Super Street magazine about the '94 Turbo-charged Supra that's used in the movie. I think the racing scene and the cop chase scene will sure beat a lot of movies out there.

But I still drooled when I saw that Audi in "Ronin" racing down the side of the mountain...*drool* Good stufffffff =)

Bullitt was the best, hands down. I got to see it in the theatre last year; it was great on the big screen.

Ronin is a close second. The part of the chase in the tunnel, on the wrong side of the road is wonderfully intense.

I would also like to make write in votes for:

• Gone in Sixty Seconds [1973] - The rest of the movie sucked like a Hoover, but they staged like twenty minutes of cop-car-smashing chase scene!
• Heat - Now I can't remember the details, but I remember a good freeway chase.

Also, for some great chase scenes: www.bmwfilms.com. The first two were great; I haven't seeen the third yet. Of course the better your connection, the better they'll be.

Re: Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds (the remake)
The Eleanor car was called and made-up to be a GT500, but none of them were. They had either 11 or 13 Eleanors for filming and most were built from GT350s, even the ones they wrecked.

I had to vote for The Rock - if for nothing else than this phrase after the chase (sorry if I don't quote correctly):
Dude on the bike: Hey, man, you just smashed your Ferrari!!!
NC: It's OK, it' not my Ferrari.

My heart was bleeding when I saw a streetcar smash the 355. Please tell me it was a replica!

I take back my vote for Heat. I watched it again; it doesn't have crap in it.

I'd like to replace it with The French Connection. I'm surprised it took this long to come up.

ales... guy on bike says " you just fucked up your ferrari"
then cage says "its not mine. neither is this" and takes the guys bike

Other Bullitt stuff here, I's actually spelled with two t's not one and the Charger never actually hit the gas station, I haven't done this myself but, if you have a DVD and play it frame by frame you will see it actually passes through behind te station. Ronin would have been my next choice cause there's two great chases and the S8 will just blow the doors off anything out there! as for BMwfilms.com, I strongly advise people with fast modems to go there, "STAR" has got to be the best film I've ever seen even though it's only 6 min long. Go now and see it!

[Jay!]

Yeah, STAR was great. Watch where the coffee goes.

I'll have to try the gas station thing with my Bullitt DVD. Thanks. :flash:

I just like that one line:

M5 Driver: I think we lost them Sir,...... Ohhh. Let's try again!

BTW, that not Coffee.

[Jay!]

I just saw Ronin again. Those chases are great!!!!!

Cannonball Run!!:sun:

[thaa]

other... Taxi (by Luc Besson) got some nice chases... But Ronin isn't bad at all...

[thaa]

Guy Richie really knew what he was doing with that Star-thing!! awesome!!

On the movie "driven", the latest bulls... coming from stallone, 2 drivers steal their cars for a night ride. Those are not F1 as mentinoned here. Those are suppose to be cart cars.
Stallone was kicked out from F1 by Bernie, the best that could happens.
bad movie, baaaaaad movie.

I like the chase on ronin as i love european cars.

I was amazed that Bullitt was not the winner hands down. Someone said that 'the Bullitt' chase scene set the bar for chase scenes. They are right.

I think maybe some of you haven't seen the movie, go watch it, then come back and vote. And, when you are watching that scene, remember, Steve McQueen, an actor, did most of the driving.

I was also amazed at the lack of discussion of the Madmax and Road Warrior chases. Remember the tanker truck finale at the end of Road Warrior?
Or, probably my 2nd favorite all-time chase, from Mad Max (no not thunderdome, the movie before road warrior) was with the Nightrider vs. Max near beginning of the film.
Hell yeah that was bitchin!

And...
The Blue's Brothers movie, the chase from the Music Hall to the tax office. I've never seen so many cop cars destroyed.
And the end of the chase, where the car falls apart, and the statues looking down pondering the whole thing....
damn hilarious!! That's my #3.

I was about to hit submit when.....
I remembered, I think it was Dirty Harry, where he is being chased by that radio controlled car. That was pretty cool too.

I just thought the Gone in sixty seconds jump was too fake. It ruined the rest of it, you know? Of course, seeing a F355 crash through a window was terribly painful, even though it was a replica.

I thought that was a real car and it got something like 18,000 in damage. Are you sure it was fake, i just hadent heard that, thats all
