Favourite Car Chase?!?

[ashan]

Out of bordem just thought i'd check with ya'll...whats you favourite car chase in a movie? ...and why? Fire away guys!\

My all time fav. is from "Gone in 60seconds" and the chase is where Cage out-runs the PoPo in a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500...awsome run....forgetting e fact that its just a movie...damn a car of that age pulling out those stunts...AMAZING !!!

[Supra_Natural]

My pick would have to be the Chase scene in Steve Mcqueen's Classic Bullitt 1967 mustang 390GT and 1969 Black Dodge Charger R/T on the Streets of San Francisco.......... Movie magic at its very best!!!!

2 fast 2 furious when the car jumps and lands on a boat....lol j/k

It would have to be Ronin and the streets of Paris in the BMW or the Audi S8

[dhp]

Ronin, Bullit, French Connection and Gone in 60 seconds (Original in 1974)

[Pericles]

I'd take the original Italian Job for sheer gound breaking

Tho the worst was easily the Aston DBS in Casino Royale. Thats not even worthy of the title "car chase".

[sharkster]

Ronin for me too... though i also liked the chase in Matrix Reloaded... well just cos it was a bike and Carrie-Anne Moss

[Devinda_Z]

its not a "chase" but this one is for Isuru and Gihan especially

My top 5.

1. 406 Vs E34 5 Series BM in "Ronin"

2. Citroen 2Cv VS 2 Peugeot 504 s in "For Your Eyes Only" (007)

3. Alfetta GTV VS German Police 5 series in "Octopussy" (007)

4. Stang VS Charger in "Bullit"

5. Mini VS the French Police in "The Bourne Identity".

And the worst? That's easy....

Hey Guys,

You're forgetting the Car chase through the streets of Turin in the Original Italian Job. That has to be one of the all time greats......

Yeah it is good. But it's more to do with the smallness of the mini. And the Brits trying to over-rate their products than a breath taking car chase. That's why I left it out.

The best moments in that movie for me are,

1. The Mafia Boses arriving and departing in the gorgeous Fiat Dino Coupe - Hearing the Ferrari V6 rev

2. And of course the Lambo Miura drive at the begining - the V12 resonating off the tunnel Heaven!

Hey welcome stranger. It's nice to see another member with an Italian flavour in his ID. So do you own a Fulvia? Are you from SL?

[KLM]

John Frankenheimer's Ronin fo' sho'. The Matrix freeway bike chase was great too, as was Bullitt.

Did any of you guys see the BMW Movies with Clive Owen? Five top directors did a short 5-minute video each with a nice storyline and a BMW car. They were all great but the best were by Guy Ritchie (feat. Madonna) and John Frankenheimer. Check www.bmwfilms.com to see if they're still up.

In fact, Frankenheimer also did 'Grand Prix', by far the finest racing movie of all time.

Yeah, I saw the one with the Z4. Cool stuff I think that was John Woo or summin.

[Devinda_Z]

i was thinking abt saying é BMW movies - ( "Star" in particular )

but thought only full length movies counted!

but for a comical chase - Jackie Chan in a EVO in "Thunderbolt"

Check this out more of a mating dance than a car chase. Michael Cairn in the Alfa Montreal and Maureen Kerwin in the 911. Note the awesome sound of the Alfa V8. The movie is "Marseille Contract" from 1974.

As one comment says don't you think the chase in GoldenEye (007) is very similar? The one with the Ferrari 355 and the Aston DB5? Even the location seems similar.
