There is actually an old Thread about "great car chases" here somewhere! I liked the chase scene in one of the Boorne Identity movies...I don't remember which one...first or second movie.

If you guys want to see one of the best hollywood Porsche car chase scenes then go see No Man's Land with Charlie Sheen is a Porsche car thief. The real star 930 turbo & targa.

How could anyone leave out "Bad Boys" (1995)
The original"gone in 60 seconds" the whole movie is a chase scene.
"Ronin" with the E34 M5.
"The Transporter" E38 7 series.
and of course my very favorite of all time , the super realistic "Driven" (2001)

This topic gets discussed many times on almost all automotive forums. In all fairness I usually see Bullitt with Steve McQueen as being rated as the best car chase scene. I must admit that I do agree with that statement. For its time and for what it produced it was a great chase scene.

I would then have to say Ronin. They even took the extra trouble of reverting cars back to the original EDM editions and placing microphones everywhere just to get the right sound. As if that is not thorough enough, then they hire professional race car drivers to do the chase scene.

The Bourne Identity is the one with the Awesome chase scene in the Mini. Then in the Bourne Supremacy they use the Russian cab to do the scene. Both were well executed.

No Mans Land was awesome. It is kind of cheesy and cliche of the 80's era movies but it was enjoyable to watch.

The original Gone in 60 Seconds was well done as well and very clever. These are definitely good movies to see if you are a car guy.

HI Guys, I think that the greatest American car chase was OJ SIMPSON in a Bronco

Anyone seen the new movie REDLINE?

I'm interested to see the feedback after all the trailers and the supposedly "accidental" Enzo trashing that got so much attention about a week or so before the release.

Later-

Jeff

I was going to see it with DJ and Nick last Friday but they didn't end up going.


Look what I found on eBay:
