Greatest Car Movie Chases

Bullitt THE car chase!

Reviving an old thread here but came across this on this web site www.dpccars.com with a collection of other car videos.
Yes for those who havn't seen it, and for those that want to rip it the original movie car chase from BULLITT that started it all. Featuring Steve McQueen and a 68 Mustang-- here it is http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/07-28-06pageBullittcarchase.htm

I am a BIG fan of V8 engines - just can't bring myself to run one as my everyday car these days. Anyway, my favourites, and almost exclusively because of the ROAAARRRR of the V8's are: Bullit, Vanishing Point, and.......Mad Max! :bannana:

And not forgetting George Cloney in Peacemaker (on last night - Well it was better than BB7) where he uses a S500 to take apart 3 or 4 BMW 5 series.......

Here's a rather poor copy of the parking lot scene from "DRIVER" starring Ryan Oneill. Steve Mcqueen is rumoured to have turned the part down! Dont try this at home children! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xcm5GUbfWNs and for those who havnt seen it the Trailer for RONIN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyvoILZ4KzE&mode=related&search=

Although they don't compete at the same level as Ronin or Bourne Identity there are some good scenes in Romeo Must Die (features a C43 AMG - in Silver of course!!!).

Bad Boys is also great with the 993 Turbo and AC Cobra on a runway and a great soundtrack.

Also, the chase at the end with Natasha McElhone in the 'M5' , has anyone noticed that on a rear shot the 'M5' only has one exhaust pipe ..... sure they should have two

Take a look at the point 4:39 into the trailor - The wheel design changes from X-Spokes to M5 fins....

What about this one C'était un rendez-vous - extremely cool

much debate over car in the film but there is a link to a pic of a 450SEL with the camera mounted on it.

The Bullit chase was filmed in different scenes,with amny camera angles of the same shot,how else could the Charger lose (at least) six wheeltrims...

They seemingly use 3 Chargers? although other stories say just one... who knows!

Then there's the VW that gets passed and repassed and repassed .....

The chase under the train in French Connection had more impact on me
when I first saw it than the Bullitt one.

Bad Boys is also great with the 993 Turbo and AC Cobra on a runway and a great soundtrack.

Its a 964 Turbo 3.6

I'll get my coat .....

Weren't there a couple of W124s (incl. an E500) in the french film, 'Taxi'?

They were going fairly quick, though I'm not sure if a Peugeot 406 is as fast as it was in the film

 

[A-AvantGarde]

Its a 964 Turbo 3.6

I'll get my coat .....

Ooops, forgot how old it was, you're right (maybe I should get my coat instead!) - perhaps I should have said 911 Turbo

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Bought it from www.play.com a few weeks ago for a paltry £3.99 delivered. Sacrilege for such a classic film!!

 

[SEM]

Car Chases on National Geographic tonight for those with HD 9.00pm.... bound to be repeated

The Dartford tunnel- NOT!

Just found this clip of the Bourne Supremacy on U-tube . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCHzmKplMi0 See a Volga taxi demolish several Mercs including a rather mean G class Just like the Dartford tunnel in the rush hour really.

The chase under the train in French Connection had more impact on me
when I first saw it than the Bullitt one.

I read somewhere that the producers arranged that only their cars were on the road during filming, to save legal problems.

Yeap a couple of 500's used in this movie.

True, not the best film in the world but the scene with the MB in the square was memorable (sadly not great for the car) but I remember seeing it the first time and being very impressed - not only with the apparent strength of the car but also at how moved I was with Clooney's acting and seemingly menacing streak lol - it didn't last long
