Favourite car chases in a film or TV show

[diyterry]

Sitting there watching The Transporter last night set me wondering which film has the best car chase, my moneys on Ronin or perhaps the Love Bug, what's your favourite?

 

[Tim Evans]

Another vote for Ronin, there's not even any heart-thumping background music until half-way thru the chase.

Ronin was quite good, but I preferred Wacky Races myself

 

[telectrix]

got to be Dukes of Hazzard , or maybe Smokey and the Bandit.both with the sheriff getting stuffed every time.

 

[KEV 1 N]

Some of my favourites....

Duel (Spielburg’s first movie he directed)
Smokey and the bandit
Terminator 2
James Bond License to kill
Speed

......seems I like the ones where large vehicles are involved!

In all seriousness Bullitt wid Steve Mcqueen.

[GMES]

Bourne identity
Gone in 60 seconds

[MisterE]

The Blues Brothers

[ruston]

Not really a chase as such , but the bike scene in the Great Escape took some beating in my opinion .

 

[HappyHippyDad]

In all seriousness Bullitt wid Steve Mcqueen.

That is simply the best car chase ever by far!

 

[Andy-1960]

Bullitt is by far the best, but I also like the one in ‘Golden Eye’when James Bond is chasing the baddies in a Russian Tank.
‘Puppet on a chain’ also has a cracking chase, but doesn’t really count as it’s boat chase!

The Blues Brothers

Agree.... Just for sheer number of cars getting trashed.


Elwood Blues: It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.

Jake Blues: Hit it!

The Italian Job was the first one that sprung to mind.
