Best Car Chase

[Sutty]

Now then, what's your favourite car, bike etc, chase in a film. For me there are quite a few, but I would have to go for Arnie and John Conner on the bike in T2 or Jason Bourne in the Mini in The Bourne Identity.

[magnum opus]

Got 2 Both bike chases rather than car involved
At #1 Matrix Reloaded
At #2 MI:2 (Mission Impossible 2)

[georges]

the reference is bullit when steve mac queen in his 1968 ford mustang gt chases the bandits in their 1968 black jewel charger r/t

another great car chases are canonball and vanishing point.

all those films are films from the60's -70's

[Elwood70]

I can't pick just one,but I narrowed it down to four:

Bullitt(as georges mentioned)

Gone In 60 Seconds (not the crap with Nicolas Cage;the original 1974 version)

The French Connection

The Blues Brothers-okay,I know it's not realistic,but it's funny,and fun to watch.

I'm sure I'll think of more later,but that's all I got for now....

[amstrad]

Ronin (mediocre movie, excellent chase scenes)

[Geyser]

i thought one of the coolest was Bad boys 2. it doesnt live up to reloaded or Ronin. But it had some moments where it was like .. whoa! but thats the only thing i can come up with at the moment.

[Tachi]

I thought the chase scenes in Taxi were pretty sweet! That movie kicks ass - I bought Taxi 2 today (found it cheap in the sales!) but I haven't had the chance to watch it yet... All in good time :)

[georges]

matrix reloaded yes i agree and also high school confidential

[Scorpion]

Matrix Reloaded, Bad Boys II, and T3.

How come no one has mention the chase scene from The Rock, through the streets of San Francisco, great movie also, by Michael lets blow shit up Bay.

[georges]

i think that there is also dirty marie crazy larry and lemans with steve mac queen

[Geyser]

you know i havent seen The Rock in a long time. That was a cool movie, and yeah the chase scene was cool too.

[georges]

i have seen fast and furious2 and the chase with the cops wasn't bad.

georges:);)

[Rakete]

I would´nt say it´s the best carchase ever, but there´s a brilliant one in William Friedkins 80´s copmovie "To live and die in L.A.".
Same league as French connection and Bullitt.

[SiliconeTits]

someones prolly said it....and sorry for being boring....but the orginal Italian job car chase is supurb...

also like ronin (about the only thing good in that film) and badboys 2 was just gobsmackin

[SiliconeTits]

the car chase in bourne identity was a good choice....fabulous cinematography....and great choice of music....Paul Oakenfold - ...........................shit i forgot the name of the track

[johnnyrotton]

all the chase scenes that have been mentioned are great.....but I havent heard anything mentioned for the Dead Pool chase seen.......the Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry, with the remote control corvette.....that was a great scene through and through

[Geyser]

I friggin love Paul Oakenfold one of the greatest DJ I have heard. I have most of his albums. His new mix "Great Wall" is awesome.

[georges]

another great chase was in the very first dirty harry with his 1973 buick riviera boattail gs 455ci engine

yeh massively talented.....you should try BT if you like Paul Oakenfold

[OptimusMike]

Hows aboot the pod race scene in the Phantom Menace!? does that count as a car chase!? prob not like but it was the best thing aboot that film! top race action!

[GhostDog]

I friggin love Paul Oakenfold one of the greatest DJ I have heard. I have most of his albums. His new mix "Great Wall" is awesome....

its a good album but it will never beat "resident 2 years of oakenfold"... thats his grestest album

and if your looking for a great set download oakey live @ liverpool university.. they dont get much better than that

[Geyser]

BT is really good, but the guy looks goofy in his new album. But his latest Emotional Technology, great album. I recommend it for those who listen to techno.

lol! Do you mean the one with him on the front cover dressed in white with poncey bleached hair? What's he like eh!

There's only one song he produced which I don't like... and that was "Before The Goodbye" by Britney Spears - But that's only 'cause I think the song was crap, which wasn't anything to do with him. I prefer his own stuff anyway.

[Felthat]

Right mate, bollocks to the idea of 'techno', Oakie was NEVER aboot Techno. Oakie = Trance. ANYONE who has ever seen him play can tell you it was all aboot the trance.

IN FACT - I claim myself as Freeones Trance Expert and if anyone wants to know where thay can get a set or whatever then contact me via PM because I love/live the shit. Ask Optimus Mike!!! But I wont be around for much longer so dont be shy. Anyhow, general questions, if they are posted in this thread or sent to me via PM will be answered ASAP, so please bear that in mind.

PS Dont fucking bother asking for trance remixes of Madonna or shite like that because my generousity only reaches to certain boundaries!!!!

[Geyser]

what? he produced a britney spears song?

And yes, you are right felthat Oakland is a trance DJ. Yet my fav from his latest album Great Wall is "Reqium For A Dream," atm but theres so much more from that album that are so good.

He did indeed, and more famously an N'Sync song (which was released as a single). I wouldn't say it was his best work, but they still have that pollished gleaminess to them that BT does so well. Oh, I don't own the N'Sync CD incase any of you were thinking that. I'd be lying if I said I didn't own the Britney Spears CD though...

[Geyser]

Gah! I'm so dissapointed to hear that.

[Tachi]

The fact that I own a Britney Spears CD?! lol

I'm only messin' - I know what you mean, and I wasn't too chuffed when I was informed that the N'Sync song was produced by BT (I seem to remember it even had someone, maybe even Brian himself, saying 'BT' at the beginning and at the end). I guess it was only a matter of time though, seeing as his music covers all genres pretty much.

But if you think about it, Paul Oakenfold did the same thing when he released those pretty poor rap tracks (Starry-eye surprise... or something) a few years back.

[Geyser]

No kidding. But, I didnt mind the ice cube track "Get em up" wasnt too bad, I actually liked it then the original.

[SiliconeTits]

thought the backin on N'sync;s POP was darn cool...and acordin to my sister its justin 'cry me a' timberlake who sez BT at the start...highly cheezy

[Geyser]

actually (POP) that is the best and only song i like from them.

[georges]

best 1/4 mile scenes

in fast & furious 1 when paul walker runs in his supra versus
vin diesel in the hemi blowered charger and also at the beginning when paul walker finishes second behind vin diesel in rx7 mazda

in fast & furious2 hen paul walker wins the first run with his extremely smoking powerful skyline gtr, also when paul walker outruns the camaro yenko of fonzie guy nicknamed by bull his friend.

[JEHUK]

Italian Job. Because of its inovation etc..
Plus I drive a classic mini, so that makes me biased! :D :D

[georges]

I have to get back to you on that georges. I'm more involved with the imports scene and don't mess with most muscle cars while driving my gti. Its a turbocharged vr6. I want to twin charge it but can't throw another 10000 bucks away. :eek:
I think lotto jackpot is pretty high this week maybe I'll buy a ticket. It could change my mind. Cheers.

[georges]

hi sinner:)

i really love the golf vr6, little bomb and very fast for its size.
I have heard that peak hp with a vr6 was 425hp.Abt made some souped up vr6 golfs and ventos, they could reach the 145mph and did the 1/4 mile in the low 13's.

beautiful car. here in the states it has the image if the older guy's car. i tried to take one while ago but the dude gave up, i guess he wasn't into street racing :D

[georges]

maybe he wasn't enough good to smash down the accelerator :D
I would have smashed the accelerator till i see the speedo hand reaching its maximum speed 180mph but before that i would have made a burnout like in fast and furious 1 when vin diesel burnouts his 70 hemi blowered charger and then giving full throttle and then turning on the blower at full power.

real crazy car was this charger. give me this vette and you will see how a leadfoot i am.

K georges, I asked my friend today about his car. It's '69 camaro ss with some very custom engine: 540 cubic inches. He claims the car does 1/4 mile in 9.4 sec. I find this a little hard to believe but I guess I'll never know. Tons of cash and a lot of time to build it tho. Looks and sounds very mean. What do you drive georges?

[georges]

my father's car a polo 1.4 . but i spare money for a muscle car. but my family in the us and my uncle in swiss own muscle cars and big old full sizes

regards

[makev80]

Bad Boys 2 has couple of very nice car chases :rolleyes:

You can see a part of the first chase in this trailer:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/columbia/badboys2/medium.html

In my opinion Bad Boys 2 was the best action film of 2003 :nanner:

[georges]

it is not a muscle car it is an exotic that bad boys drive a ferrari 456 gt maranello.

[sinner]

Hi makev80, B B2 was an excellent movie. I can see a lot of people arguing about being the best, but it was without doubt one of the best. I enjoyed every second of it.

Hey georges, I suggest you see "Torque". Looks phat. I'm going to c it tomorrow. Will let you know what I think.

[georges]

ok sinner;) thanks for the tip:)

Torque looks weak and too fake IMO from the previews, to my knowledge it was also delayed from last year. I also did not care for Biker Boyz nor 2 Fast 2 Furious, I like the cars however, but not the movie itself, bad story.

I liked the chase in Terminator 3 though, and also The matrix reloaded.

[georges]

the matrix reloaded car chase was excelllent;)

great cadillacs one was a cts and the other was the escalade suv pick up

[sinner]

When it comes to bike and car movies I don't really care much about the plot...like they say in this kind of movies the cars are the real stars and I couldn't agree more. I have a race heart and simple street race its a big thrill for me. Something like one night stand :cool:

[georges]

well for me i appreciate to drive cars with brute power and outaccelerating today cars. for me muscle cars and big full sizes are my passion since i am a kid. I spare my money for buying a muscle car

[knightrider]

Tecquinaly its not a car chase but i loved the one in the French Connection were Popeye Doyle was chaseing the Railway train

[georges]

[ooahouch]

mi-2
Matrix reloaded
Ronin

[georges]

Yes for ronin and matrix reloaded but the best cars chases are bullitt and the first gone in 60 second , cannon ball isn't bad too

[lex]

check out the "getaway in stockholm" movies for real cop chases...awesome films!

[Mikishots]

The Transporter, starring Jason Statham. That 735 smokes...by far my fave car movie.
