Fav. Car Chase scene!!

[a21schizoidman]

ok, so, I love Car Chases in movies, and I know there are tons of classics (Bullitt, French Connection), but I thought this would be a fun thread idea



my personal fav. is the ORIGINAL Gone In 60 Seconds car chase (not the Cage version, the 70s one)
(note: this chase is REAL, not edited, special FX, or even a charted course, and is 40 minutes long)

A few off the top of my head...

Death Proof
Transformers
Bullitt
The Matrix Reloaded
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy
Ronin
Thelma and Louise
The Rock
The Blues Brothers
Gone in 60 Seconds (both of them)
The Fast and the Furious

There are plenty others I'm forgetting, I'm sure.

that one in Ronin is highly underrated


but i was just asking, which of those is ur fav.

[Hungryfreak]

Death Proof. Unfortunately the movie had too little of that and too much girls gossiping.

LOVE that car

And Bullitt has an amazing chase

Death Proof was Hardcore. Planet Terror was awesome also. :)

And I agree, there was a lot of dialogue in Tarantino's movie, but according to my boyfriend, their annoyance made the crash scene even sweeter. :p

The Blues Brothers. End of story. That car chase is epic.

[jonfitzsimon]

points for blues brothers. I am a huge Mini Cooper fan, so i will throw The Italian Job into the mix.

[sillystou]

I agree with Italian Job, I loved that chase :D

Speaking of Italian Job, I wonder when the new one will be coming out? It's been a while since the first one...

This.

Also, although it's for action movie buffs only due to cheese factor, the chase in The Marine was actually very well done.

The Island..

when theyre droppin them train wheels off the back of the transport and crushing the SUV's in pursuit... and then they get on those hovercycles.. i loved that movie.

The Brazilian Job ~ 2009 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427396/)

As far as my favorite chase scene, there are far too many to choose from but all that you guys have listed are up there.

If I had to choose:

1. Blues Brothers
2. Bullitt

Jason Statham was interviewed about his upcoming movies, and here's what he had to say about "The Brazilian Job":

Q: What's up with the Italian Job sequel?

STATHAM: You know, I've been talking about that for two years: The Brazilian Job. I think somebody should just erase it from IMDb. Save us all a problem, and put it back on there when it's fully due and ready. I don't know. It's one of those things that's just sitting around.

My favorites are probably the ones from Deathproof, The Rock, Ronin & Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry :)

[Rock_Starman]

Bad Boys 2,Swordfish and Night Watch (or maybe it was Day Watch).
