Top 10 cinematic car chases
Top 10 car chase/pileups
I'd agree with most of these opions although I'm not too sure about the Rock's chase scene, surely there must be some thing better. What about the pile up at the end of Smokey and the Bandit 2 with all the cop cars getting mashed? |
The top 3 have to be: Ronin; French Connection & Bullit (despite it being full of VW Beetles.....); in no particular order
|
Interesting.
Mine would be (in no real order) Ronin Taxi (the original, not the crappy remake) Bullit Gone in 60 seconds (the original and the remake) French Connection Smokey and the Bandit (has to be 1, 2 and 3 are pale comparisons) The Fifth Element (ok, ok, it's not a car really) Getaway in Stockholm :p (ok, not so much a car chase :D) |
Ronin - the Citroen XM v Audi S8 chase was awesome.
|
1. Ronin
the rest are also rans and don't even come close :D. |
The Ronin chase is awesome but how often do you actually see an audi lose grip like that :lol1:
The chase in gone in 60 seconds is excellent too :D I don't like the Bullit one much because I never felt that the engine sound effects were realistic unless both cars had an 18 speed gearbox :o I really must watch that properly again though. Vanishing point (the original) is pretty good though and doesn't get mentioned often. |
Oh and the Italian job (yet again the original, see a trend here :Suspiciou ) chase is the Daddy :D
|
Bullitt has to be the best, doing over 100mph through san fransisco in a 390GT.
|
Another vote for Vanishing Point.
Also although all graphics, the Freeway section on Matrix 2 is superb. Alas |
Missed the pile ups.
Has to be the Blues Brothers:D |
Anyone not voting for Ronin has to declare if they've seen it or not :D
|
the matrix reloaded. with the ducati. i know most of it is computer graffics but all the car chases above are staged in some way. have seen ronin was very good chase. best real life chase scene.
|
Duel. Not strictly a car:)
James Bond movies all have pretty decent chase scenes, so a collective nomination. The Driver (destroying the car in the car park, so not strictly a chase). Enthusiasts here:thumb: |
I agree with speedking.
The best car scene is in "The Driver" in the underground car park. Bar none. |
