Car Chase!!!

[John Joyo]

There is NOTHING that gets the heart racing like a good old car chase! We've been planning to have car chase week here at DOGFIGHT for many months. This morning my friend sent me a text letting me know that the Speed Channel had a show on about the best car chase scenes in Hollywood. I don't know if this was a new program or it's been on forever, but I watched curiously to see how their list compared to what I have. Their list was good and overlapped a lot with mine. The only bummer was that they only showed short clips, and obviously I wanted to watch the whole scenes!

I'll post a few to get it started, but what are your favorite car chases/ car scenes from Movies? Please post the video with your reply if you can!

I saw the same thing on today too. They covered a lot more obscure stuff than I expected!

I caught that show, too and I had the same problem with it. They spent more time showing fans of the chase scene talking about the scenes than they showed actual chases. It was a serious let down. Thanks for picking up where they should have left off.

One of my favorite movies (and another Steve McQueen) is "The Hunter". The sequence from him getting off the airplane and being given the keys to a brand new Trans-Am, right up until he returns it on the flatbed truck, has got to be one the best.
