Title: Best Movie Car Chase Post by: Uisce Beatha on November 09, 2007, 08:47:06 AM You have to start the discussion with The French Connection. Classic.
There's the chase in The Italian Job which is pretty good but I don't think Minis are quite able for all that. ;) Terminator and Matrix trilogies (whichever movies, can't remember) have some good stuff. But for me, the best on film is Ronin. eHgxWluFvyg Title: Re: Best Movie Car Chase Post by: 1puttpar on November 09, 2007, 08:51:00 AM You have to start the discussion with The French Connection.

Title: Re: Best Movie Car Chase Post by: Uisce Beatha on November 09, 2007, 08:54:20 AM I've never even heard of Bullitt. Shame on me? [sm_anon] Or is it a teh suk movie? [sm_devil]
Even if not first TFC has to be recognized. :) Title: Re: Best Movie Car Chase Post by: MFAWG on November 09, 2007, 08:55:48 AM Yeah, often imitated, never duplicated. McQueen does his own driving, IIRC and the guy driving the Charger was actually the stunt coordinator as well:

Title: Re: Best Movie Car Chase Post by: spacey on November 09, 2007, 09:09:07 AM Bullitt is a classic, but probably only because of the famous car chase scene.

Not recognizing some of Hal Needham and Burt Reynolds work in this field would be an oversight... Title: Re: Best Movie Car Chase Post by: tdcoly on November 09, 2007, 04:17:22 PM Bullitt.
