Razors Edge ★ Posted July 22, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2019 ...or dark horses Ronin or either of The Italian Job movies? Or a Bourne movie? Which has the best car chase scene (singular)? I'm thinking Fast & Furious movies are too fake , so it needs to be more of a "Wow! That scene was insane. Let me watch it again!" sort of thing with no or very limited CGI. Ronin is fun, and some definite Bullitt influences, but it's not quite a true car chase as much as a chase and gun battle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - but need just one SCENE The Cannonball Run movies too. I like the Lambo scenes that set up the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Another one of my all time faves) And then there are other contenders, like the French Connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the OG Fast and Furious movie but the rest just got stupider and stupider as they went on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good chase scene, and I love the way they transformed a Mustang into an actual hot car (spent a lot of money doing it, too). But I bought the movie a couple years ago, and stopped watching it after about 10 minutes. At least for my taste, it hasn't aged well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread was prompted by an episode of Fast n Loud that I caught last night where they recreated the scene (as much as reasonable): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted July 22, 2019 Share #14 Posted July 22, 2019 On the way to California last month, they offered Bullit as one of the free movies, so I figured, it's topical. First time I ever watched the whole movie. It was bad. The chase seen, however, was iconic. Even if the Charger lost at least 6 hubcaps, they kept passing the same green Beetle over and over, and they ended up in a place far too many miles from where they started. Among other oddities.

I believe they lost more than one charger as well as some parked cars on the street that were not the property of the movie company. It was the era of the action hero Steve McQueen who did this, The Great Escape with his motorcycle chase scene and the racing Movie LeMans. All were movie breakthroughs of a sort.
