Movies Greatest Film car chases

[cider_and_toast]

As a break out from the 'Film Thread' where we have had a little discussion about this, how about nominating and, where possible, posting you tube links, your greatest movie car chases.

I'll get the ball rolling with one of mine which is this classic from the film Ronin:

 

[Brogan]

This is the one I mentioned in the other thread to FB.

 

[Incubus]

"OJ Simpson Versus The Federal Police", that was a good one.

Yep, hard to argue against that one from Bullet. A proper classic.

Slightly less serious, there's several in the Blues Brothers. Here's one (possibly not all of it):

 

[Dash Racing]

You can't have a car chase thread without the original Italian Job

 

[Jen]

The Duel:

And some silliness:

 

[Dash Racing]

That car chase from The Duel is fantastic. Great rising tension, a drop in tension and a feeling of elation as he pulls up the hill and leaves the truck behind, then the radiator hose blowing and praying for the crest of the hill, with the truck gaining on him. That is a master class in tension and release. Stunning.

I don't think this thread can go without a mention of the Fast and the Furious franchise either, so here's the Tokyo city chase from Tokyo Drift:

 

[Incubus]

Just some good ole' boys... TV rather than film and even sillier but always cheers me up:

 

[Road of Bones]

Love the Ronin chase- you will never see a Peugeot 405 going faster! Natasha McElhone looks great too...

 

[marksawatsky]

From the movie "Short Time" which nobody saw but it's a great movie.

 

[Olivier]

The French Connection (1972). Very realistic car chase. I think still holds its own after so many years.

 

[FB]

Prius car chase.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Just watch this and remembered this thread.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Obviously didn't remember this thread well enough though. Brogan posted that link near the top of the thread

Oh ...
