Best Movie Chase Scenes

[bayoubill]

What are some of your favorite movie chase scenes?

For me, the first one that comes to mind is the one in Bourne Supremacy, set in Moscow.

Couldn't find a video of it by itself, but it's promenantly featured in this youtube video:

[Dreamy]

Smokey and the Bandit

[gwhughes]

a bit nihilistic...

The car didnt run anymore, and neither did the guy. Good old fashion closure.:) Will they make a VP2? No, he's dead, vp2 would be a waste of time, though the remake was good. But they made Ocean's 13?!?

[gwhughes]

Smokey and the Bandit

That TA sounds good coming off and around the overpass towards the end.

Steve actually drove the car in that scene.


Bet he had the time of his life, too!

[BasicGreatGuy]

Bet he had the time of his life, too!

That he did. I saw interviews with him at the time, where he was thrilled to be able to do that. He is the one that asked for it, if i remember right.

an oldie but a goodie, the seven-ups

[Dr. Funkenstein]

Gone in 60 Seconds

So many good ones in that movie! My personal favorite is when Memphis and his brother are running from Master P and his gang, and it ends at the diner with Memphis hooking their car up to a tractor trailer.

[Dr. Funkenstein]

The Italian Job (the original)

Never saw the original, but I really liked the one at the end of the quasi-remake (I learned it's not actually a remake, but there are elements from the original in the newer version). Driving the Mini's through the tunnel, taking out the cat on the motorcycle with the door...

Dude...I'm watching that when I get home tonight.

My favorite car chase scene ever was in Dirty Harry "The Dead Pool."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ-bS6vw7F8

It's great and it's funny, because it's obviously a take off of the car chase scene in Bullit.

That's model car really hauls ass. :mrgreen:

Be warned, Clinton Eastwood does say one bad word at the end of the clip. If you would be offended, do not click!

[SisterMary]

A REALLY OLD ONE: Foul Play with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase chasing through the streets of San Francisco

[Dr. Funkenstein]

Gone in 60 Seconds

"Wow that guy can drive"

(detective glares at partner)

"Okay...it's MOSTLY the car, but..."

[JimGP20]

The original version of "Gone In 60 Seconds". The car wash scene is classic. :lol:

[CaffeineHat]

"The Blues Brothers"

"This is a nice Mall"--as they skid through the mall in a flipped cruiser.

[CaptC]

an oldie but a goodie, the seven-ups

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg4QtYizPKM

If you really listen to the soundtrack of the chase scene in The Seven Ups, it's exactly the same as the soundtrack in Bullit. :dance:

[CaptC]

The best chase scene of ALL time was in THUNDER ROAD. (Oldie but goodie starring Robert Mitchum)

[JimGP20]

The movie "Duel" with Dennis Hopper was a chase scene from start to finish.

[Stuball]

A Classic

"The Blues Brothers"

"This is a nice Mall"--as they skid through the mall in a flipped cruiser.
"Do you have Miss Piggy?"
Agreed. I love the mall chase scene better than the one at the end of the movie where they trash just about every police car ever built.
