Plus, another vote for Ronin here, I personally prefer the second chase, with the 406 & the 'M' 535. mart360 I disagree, Frankenheimer was the first to use RHD cars with LHD dashes so the actors could participate, hence De Niro's expressions of sheer terror On the other hand though, Natasha McElhone appeared to be seriously enjoying herself

Taxi - remake. Luc besson is still attached to the project (producer I think). From the trailers I've seen it does 'copy' most if not all the great scenes from the original. However, the original is still the best. This is another shoddy remake of a classic film, ala The Italian Job (though that has grown on me, at least they used minis!)

I know its only a small "chase", if that, but assuming one car following another with the intent of stopping it comes into play, I rather like Enemy of the State. Two cars, ramming each other into the side of trains, Gene Hackman at the wheel and Will Smith leaning out the window with a pump action shotgun.
Shame it lasted all of 5 seconds.

Personally I think it's a great film in its own right and it would not have received a lot of the unfair critisim if it was just called something else!!
I'm not a huge fan of the original as IMHO it's a crap film with reasonable car scenes in it!!
I started to watch Ronin and fell asleep in the first few minutes and have never bothered with it since!

Probably the most hairraising bit in Ronin is the bloke in the Audi S8 - the real driver was in the boot with a TV screen - now whats what you call PlayStation...
