Chase Scenes

What is your favorite automobile chase scene/s on the big screen?
Mine would be Bullitt. Mr. Cool ( Steve McQueen ) was the man.

Which Lethal Weapon were Riggs and Murtah in Murtah's wife's new station wagon? Lethal Weapon II? That's a great chase scene.

But, I have to agree with dZilla - the Blues Brothers.

What about that chase scene with his daughters Silver Grand Am.

Yeah, blues brothers is good. Is it true that they were really running 110 down thru Chicago? That is what the speedo was bouncing around anyhow. What about that yellow pinto wagon that was involved in that chase. Do you beleive that car could keep falling & falling & falling & falling.


I would have to say the best chase is with the new gone in 60 seconds with the Shelby.

This is a naystar capt., not an apache.......

Don't ya'll forget the chase scene in the Original Gone in Sixty Seconds with that 71 or 72 Mach 1 Fast back. They only used one car and jump they made was real.

What about that boat chase scene in that old James Bond flick- was it Live and Let Die? I once read about how many boats and cars they used up. The scene where the boat sticks into the cop car was just dumb luck- they only wanted to hit the car. And the first boat that cleared the car was a world record jump for the time!
