The French Connection!

 

:dunno: i know i'm goin to get people mad at me but i think the original gone in 60 seconds was better than bullit.how could a 48 min. chase scene be beat by a 14 min. one? :dunno:

 

Lot of great ones not on the list... "Vanishing Point"..."Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry"..."The Transporter"..."Junkman"

But... I voted for the original Gone In 60, I mean come on, the chase is something like 40 minutes long!

 

Yes. That tops em all!

:worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

 

Hi,

found "Cleopatra Jones" on DVD the other day - it has a good car chase in it (the Mustang being the car of the bad guys though). Cleopatra drives a modified Vette and there are a couple of scenes where you see how she shifts rather expertly...

A.G.

 

I went with "The Bourne Supremacy." I agree with Brad... It felt so real, and it really got me into the scene itself. I love it when movies give me tunnel vision and then I have to snap myself out of it to realize it's not real. :yes:

It's also nice to see a chase scene that means something to the plot, and is not just "there" to fill space.

Goldeneye had a really cool chase scene, but it involved a tank.

 

I voted for "other", my favorites are The French Connection and On Her Majesty's Secret Service

 

I like the chase scene in 'To Live and Die in LA'

(Wasn't that movie also made by the same guy as 'French Connection?')

 

I put other and this is why

Matrix 2 would have to be considered as well, though mention of To Live and Die in LA reminds me how much Matrix owes that film.

I still say the best of all is Blues Brothers.

 

Yeah Matrix was aweome, but that wasnt only cars, its kinda leaning more twards sci-fi, I would have to swing with the new gone in 60 seconds.

I just couldnt get into the minis in the Italian Job, and I have watched it several times.

 

Absolutely - William Friedkin did both.

Yeah - Live & Die in LA is up there for me.
Ronin definitely.

I also have to throw in the 'riverbed' scene in GUMBALL RALLY near the end where the COBRA and the Ferrari duke it out.

 

Gumball rally? Next we will hear about Smokey and the Bandit. :notnice:

How about the cycle race in TRON?

 

OTHER: Porsche 911 Turbo vs. Camaro in No Man's Land (1980's, Charlie Sheen)

 

No one has mentioned the chase scene from "The Blues Brothers."

 

Burningman did on the first page....lol

 

The comic chase scene in the movie "What's Up Doc?" with Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand (YUCK!) is hysterical! Also, there's a pretty good chase scene in the W. C. Fields classic, "The Bank weiner."

 

Blues Brothers beats them all by a long shot. Best chase scene ever.

 

1974 gone in 60 seconds

not only was the chase awesome, the old Eleanor is waaaaay better than the new one. even when she's totally totalled (pun intended ) she's b-e-a-utiful

 

9ner is totaly rite
