Ok so everyone here has to have a favorite movie car chase. If you can find a vid post it here. This is one of mine :D : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Pi5hcgW5c
Yes they actually smashed up a real mall :D
Yeah you knew someone was going to post this one

Hell it was the only reason to actually see this movie
I didn't even have to look at the link to know what you were talking about, that is how popular that scene is!!
Still good though.
Here is my fav..

There are three parts to it! This is the first
My favorite as well, went to see it at the theater, back in the day...
BTW most don't know, but the group that made the movie were a bunch of stunt actors... HB Halicki who was shown driving, actually did the stunts... Guessing they bought up a fleet of used police cars as most were 3-4 years old when the movie was made... Back then cars were rarely in service more than five years...
The was to be a sequel in approx '91, but during filming a cable holding a water tower snapped hitting HB, unfortunately killing him...

No-one will probably mention it but but the end chase scene in Tarrantino's "Death Proof" is kick ass.
Here's a link to the first half. I like the second half better.

I love this movie... An instant cult classic in my book.
let's not forget the end to "Blues Brothers" Of course there's the Cannonball run and smokey and the bandit movies, too. But my fave is what's already been posted. The original (1974)
Almost forgot about "Ronin"
Youtube took mine down :mad:
Yeah the ending chase to Blues Brothers is great. I love the fact that they actually drove 120 mph through down town Chicago :D
Mr. Million
Starred Terrence Hill. Towards the end he jumps a boss mustang through the open doors of a moving box car.
Long before CG effects.
Spectacular.
this one is not a movie chase scene but none the less the shagiest thing to come out of dodges gates as of lately.

never actually heard one running that thing sounds great.
bullitt is my favorite. i don't know how to post a link but the chase in the french connection was KICK @$$!!!!
I actually think that whole movie is awesome. It's interesting to see how different everything was back then. I especially like the airport shootout lol. Although, yes, it's
almost like they wrote the rest of the movie around the chase scene. But who cares? It's iconic. There might never be one better.
The original Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) ....(not that 2000 something special effects !) was the greatest car chase movie of all TIME !!!!! 45 minutes of non stop action in that car chase.
What was interested was when he was trying to exit the freeway, he made a hard right for the off ramp and clipped a light pole....not planned at all. Tore the hell out of the car. Toby Haliki came out o.k., and the crew fixed the car enough to restart filming 2 hours later. Amazing!
Part 2 was called "The Junkman" and was released in 1982 and he smashed up even more cars in that one. I have the DVD.
Sadly, Toby was killed in 1989 while shooting part 3 (some say part 2) and he was doing a stunt to clear a water tank.
This guy could do it all. he wrote, produced, drove his own stunts (as well as other characters in the movie) and organized everything.
Hell, he even got the Mayor of Long Beach (I believe ) to get in on the movie. Alot of big names (at the time) play in the movie. Alot of off-duty police officers too. He had a knack for getting people like that in his films.
Had a huge car collection, models, etc.
What a shame. He was only 49 when he was killed.
Forget all of you that don't say the old mach 1 in the gone in 60 secs no repairs and it still dirves to this day after a 40min+ chase and many many wrecks.
Bullitt was good except the had to fix the car 3 times in the one chase and the charger R/T never had to be fixed.
Vanishing Point is a movie that was all about chasing one man and one car.. what stuck out my mind the most was the end:

saw that movie 2 weeks ago got it for like $11 great chases since thats most of the movie.
Nice homage

The white car that crashed into the bulldozers was a 67-68 camaro :D
If you look at the clip on you tube, you can freeze frame it enough to make out that is a 67 or 68 Camaro.
Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry also had a suckie ending. I dreamed of having either car. I wanted a 4 door Bel-Air with a Big Block and a built suspension. That Charger looks cool .
I beg to differ, i am quite bored so i print screened it and you can plainly see the the RT hood.

Yes, what you show is correct....for about 3/4 of a second...until a micro second later you see a camera shot of the the left rear quarter of that white 67-68 Camaro, then it crashes into the bulldozer. It almost looks like their "Hollyweird" explosion goes off before the Camaro hits the dozers.
It last for about 1/10 th of a second and it took me about 12 tries to freeze frame that Camaro camera shot. It's there, you just have to hit the pause button at the precise time.
Keep trying with your pause button....it goes by so fast.

Looks like a Camaro to me.
slamedCat;
You beat me to it. How did you get that so fast?
I did it the hard way...with a camera.

Hmm ill be ed :bowdown: weird that they'd do that.
I sit at a puter all day long. I have lots of practice. :D
Probly did it for cost reasons.
I read on the you tube comments below the playing screen that a cable was used to pull the Camaro to the dozers.
