Yeah, I think the rock has the best, simply because it's got a Ferrari chasing a Hummer. I mean, how cool is that?

No way man!! Gone in 60 seconds is the best. That mustang was hauling some serious ass and to do the things that Nicholas Cage did(or stunt man)is simply ballsy!!

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 chose "Other" cause the four up there are all the best I've seen and I couldn't choose one. The other one is from 1970 something in "The Spy who loved me" with James Bond and his Lotus Esprit. It had machine guns, oil and underwater capability. It was the best in it's time. Another one would be from Batman Returns, I just like the chases with unrealistic cars that do the impossible.

But he was hitting 7000 rpm when he hit it, and then 9 after, that car redlines at 5. It should have blown the engine. The rock has the best one. Painful as it is to see a car ruined like that, at lest it was more realistic.

Thumbs up

Gone in 60 seconds . . . hands down . . .

Not to mention the traffic light drag scene with the Porsche and the Civic . . . that's got to be the best movie opener I've seen in a long while . . .

Matter of fact how about the F1 racers on the streets of the city at night . . . "Driven" that was some hot schitt!!

Hummer's aren't that fast, though. My friend blew the doors off one with his Chevette.

I totally agree. I would love to own that Shelby Mustang from the movie. I'm looking now to see if they made a 1:18 scale of it. I'ma kop two of them.


Brittany Spears is cool.
N'sync is cool.
Lemonheads were cool too.

I hope you all know that the GT500 in the movie was a replica and not evenclose to a real one. That one looks a bit better than the real one but it ain't real, not by a long shot.

BTW, regarding the Porsche scene at the beginning, they used a real 911 to jump out the window. The only thing you didn't see was the $4000 in front-end damage the car took when it jumped out. Another thing also, the Hummer's 0-60 time is about 18 seconds.
