Best car chase ever

[Fleischmann]

What is the best car chase in the history of cinema ??

In my opinion - "The Italian Job" (1969)

[Wutputt]

I didn't see the original Italian Job (shame on me)...

But I loved the car chases in Ronin with the Audi S8 vs Citroën XM & Peugeot 605 and the one with the BMW M5 vs Peugeot 406

RONIN!!...or the original gone in 60 secconds...the orig gone in 60 secconds had no digital enhancing at all =) they spent more time beating the crap out of the new cars so they would look like the totaled car that wouldn't run anymore really really nice chase scene

the new gone in 60 seconds is a disgrace compared to the old one 0X =)

[blah]

omg youve people obviously never seen Bullitt

[mhn3773]

ehh bullit was good..but nothing spectacular..that ones more for the cars though =)

[FoxFour]

The scene in 'Gumball Rally' where the cars go roaring off down the middle of Manhatten. And the last 20 minutes of the film when the AC Cobra and Daytona Spyder duke it out to the finish line, no music except the melody of those engines.
I like when about 200 police cars chase the Bluesmobile in 'The Blues Brothers".

BULLITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stracing]

bullitt was too short and the car never appeared again in the film, so it made it a drag watching the rest.

[gldnboy]

bullitt or ronin. the mini chase in Bourne Identity wasn't too shabby either.

[pimrusis]

The chase scene with the TVR in Swordfish wasn't bad, just because it was a TVR.

[graywolf624]

Original Gone in 60 seconds. The whole movie was a car chase with a few bits put around it to call it a movie(seriously there was practically no plot, just a car chase).

[Toronto]

Bullitt was good, and so was Ronin, but i have Ronin on DVD and not bullitt so i guess bulitt was not as good :D, ronin also had that french guy that was in the professional that is crazy, but back to cars i like the transporter / 765 omg!!!

[mhn3773]

there was as much plot in the orig gone in 60 then there was in the new one...yack lol
the only thing about the orig one..is it was made in the 70s so watching it now makes some parts really REALLY! slow and boring lol

[666fast]

No, but they did speed up the film a few times. Either way, it rules. Who doesn't like a 45 minute car chase? LOL
Ronin
Bourne Indentity
Duel
Italian Job, old and new
The chases in Bad Boys 1 and 2 weren't bad either

[levensnevel]

The carchase in the first French Connection movie wasn't too bad either if my memory serves me correctly :idea:

[yg60m]

I haven't see "the italian job" but i like Bulitt, Ronin and the car chase in "Rock" beetwen an F355 and a Hummer.

the one form the Rock is soo funny
"dude u just Fucked up your Ferrari"

[Fleischmann]

oh yeah !! I totally forgot about "The Rock". It was a really cool chase, because it took place in San Francisco and everybody knows what the streets are like there.

Havent actually seen Bullitt, but based on the movies that Ive seen, I would have to say that the Ronin chase scene was the most hardestcore car chase Ive seen. Bourne Identity would come in second just because I like those oldschool Mini's.

[pedrohmb]

Bullit... This movie below shows the car car chase

[yugo]

The best is Ronin. Also there are more goods: Transporter, Canonball Run, Golden Eye (355 vs Aston martin), The Rock (355 vs Hummer), Bourne Identity (mini in city)...

[phatlee]

I just downloaded the Bullitt clip. Cool as it is watching two old msucle cars get thrashed on the hills of San Francisco, it doesnt push the envelope quite enough for me.

[TeflonTron]

Ronin is without a doubt the best car chase scene that I've ever, well, seen.

I also love Taxi for some more lighthearted, although nonetheless intense, driving.

[Schwalbe]

I prefer the car chase in TAXI, the first one.
Peugeot 406 (Highly modified) vs 2 Mercedes 500 E.

Bullit is my second choice.

[Overmind]

lol, the best car chase was definitely in Getaway in Stockholm 2 :)

[zr2man99]

The origininal gone in 60 seconds has the worst acting ever, but the car chase scence was just awesome. Terminator 2 and 3 had some good chase scence with big rigs.

[jpatino03]

Umm..this may not count as a Car chase per se...but the movie Grand Prix has probably the best car action of any movie.

[MPoweredKid]

bullit was a great chase
i like the chase in the Rock....because it was based on bullit

or the chase i was in the other night wasnt bad :twisted: pulled a nice drift through an intersection and had to run from the po po....... 8)

[yg60m]

Do not laugh at me but there is a movie with a lot of car chases : Canonball with Burt Reynolds. Ok , the chases are fakes but ... :?

[jaybv6]

My top 3 are
1 - Bullit
2 - Ronin
3 - Gone in 60 seconds (remake, haven't seen the original yet).

Bullit, Ronin, Bourne ID

[snacky]

When I saw the bullit chase as a kid, I was AWED! But after downloading the chase from the Internet and replaying it few times, I see there's a bit of trickery. The chase in the city is only a couple corners taken but shot from different camera angles then cut and pasted together. You'll see the same blue bug and white chevy malibu a few times, but from different angles making you think the chase is longer and more drawn out.

Even though I feel a lil snookered, I still think bullit's the best chase scene. #2 would be TITANIC where that GIANT MOFO iceberg chases down that boat and SINKS IT. doesn't get any bigger than that folks! :mrgreen:

[mhn3773]

never ever ever ever pick apart a movie chase sceen or drag race..u will be dissapointed and never ever watch the movie again lol

frame by frame ruined movies for me :( lol they just never go into enough detail so fi u slow down the movie u see how much it realy sucked lol

[crasherror]

I love Ronin great chases. I don't know if is counts but what about LeMans with Steve McQueen.

[Fleischmann]

Yep, now that I watched it I think the scene from Bullit is one of the best car chases ever. 2 oldschool cars speeding through San Francisco...cool

[cavallino]

The car chase in the new Gone in 60s was good with the GT 500. The other one that I liked was in Bad Boys 2 becasue instead of the cops driving police cars, they were driving a Ferrari 575M.

[kiato4]

Ronin, Italian Job, Gone in 60 seoconds, and maybe some James Bond films

[T-Bird]

[coloradosilver]

well I just saw the Bourne Supremacy and that had the best car chase ever! it was insane! go see it! :twisted:
