Bullitt here too.

Also the first Smokey and the Bandit.

And, (stop laughing at the back), the chase sequence in Atlanta in The Dukes of Hazzard movie. Particularly the part where the General Lee is at opposite lock for a full circuit of a roundabout, inches from parked and moving cars. Love it!

Yes, awesome. I don't think that film gets the credit it deserves. Have you seen this?

Although the sequence at the beginning of The Cannonball Run, where the Pontiac Police car chases the Countach is utter genius.

You mean this?

I bought the film a while ago because I loved it as a kid. Unfortunately it doesn't stand up, too many shorts are sped up and not much of the film is actually about driving, they spend ages in the hotel at the start of the film before the race even starts. However the noise of that lambo is just awesome.

Ronin

Most of the best car chase sequences seem to happen in Paris

Great car chases in that film.

The opening scene in The Other Guys,
Its a car chase parody, so OTT, but strangely enough not far off what Ive seen in other films, very well done.

The one in "The Rock" with the F355 and the Hummer where Sean Connery races through San Fransico, after escaping from Alcatraz.

I heard a rumour that it was an mr2 replica

Found this site while trying to clear it up.

I'd go with Mad Max 2 with the armoured truck. So good.

1+ Finally!!

Also the Bourne mini chase scene and the other one where the bad guy had the big merc. Can't remember which one it was from.

[nonplussed]

Vanishing Point, definitely. Never has 7-ish litres of Mopar muscle looked so good or sounded so glorious.

I can't get on youtube on this com, but if it's from a Bourne film and has a big merc chasing Matt Damon....then yes, that one.

Thank you Fivepint! Supposed to be a 'gearhead' site and it took 3 pages for someone post DMCL!

Last few laps in 'Le Mans' beats them all in my book.

It's a chase!

Mine had to be the first transporter film were he is in the 1999 735 black BMW Any suggestions?

In that case I suggest that you research the car in that film. (It was a very special car made by BMW just for that film.)

[j3ffers]

I really like "Star" from the BMW Promo The Hire series. It's the one with the M5 and madonna in the back set to Blur.

But for a real movie - has to be Ronin as said before

I rather like the end chase from the movie Driver when he's in that fantastic red pick-up truck !

Don't think anybodys mentioned that one yet.
