Your favorite car chase ever...


The Seven Ups, French Connection, Bullit, To Live and Die in LA...
Others?
I prefer The Seven Ups but TLADILA is a close second

We Own the Night ( 2007 ) has a gripping and imo, one of the most realistic car chases I've seen in my movie experiences. I saw Bullitt in the theater where I worked as a teenager so, I think I've seen quite a few since then.

The Seven Ups.

I saw it (and Bullitt too) first run in the theatre and this one was a true thrill.

reply

It was really super thrilling agreed!
I LOVE a good car chase...
They filmed a few sequences of the big chase not far from where i used to live.
Southern NY State has been a hotbed of film projects for most of my life...
Good locations, diverse neighborhoods, nice architecture...Its really cool watching the crews set up and seeing the occasional star
I saw Kevin Bacon up close one time...he was a really nice man

This one.

reply

Bullit..?
Yes it was a real
blast of a chase
Movie 'goofs' being one of my things, i believe that Mustang lost at least 10 hubcaps during the big chase

I still love The Seven Ups chase too



reply

I came to to the conclusion that one of those hubcaps came off of the spare tire from underneath the Dodge Charger (the Mustang didn't have any hubcaps).
They did pass that green Volkswagen Beetle about 3 times though, unless it was 3 Volkswagens that happened to be identical.

reply

LOL!
Yup...sometimes i just shut up and watch, but sometimes i notice dumb stuff

reply

You just named my top 4 in one go! Amazing!

Check out a film called Fear is the Key (1972), it has an amazing long, drawn out car chase at the start from memory.

reply

I certainly will look for it
Thanks for the tip
Nice to see you around btw...this MC joint is great but man do we need more good posters!
Be well bud

reply

Yes, don't want the place ruined by useless trolls again like IMDB was.

reply

This one of course

reply

Well it IS superb!
Fair enough

reply

Both car chases in Ronin are my favorites.
