It doesn't matter if it's cars, planes, horses, blimps, go-carts or giant fruit bats, post it here.
My favourite: the final chase scene in The Blues Brothers; unsurpassed in violence, without people actually being killed. Soooooo many police cruisers smashed to pieces. [:D]Beautiful![&o]

The Python Movie sketch where a condemned man gets to choose his own method of execution and chooses getting chased off a cliff edge by a bevy of Gorgeous Girls who are wearing nothing but a crash helmet and a G-string.
IronDuke
P.S. They was big girls as well......[;)]

The car chase in Bullitt. OMG that was an awesome car chase. without the cheesy explosions and music you see in today's chases.

Top three of all time
1) Bullitt
2) Gone In sixty Seconds (the original not the remake) w/the yellow Mustang
3) Vanishing Point (again the original not the remake)

Everyone mentions this movie but I hated it. I teach pursuit driving at the academy and I was not impressed by this scene. You could see that the film was speeded up.
I agree that the Blues Brothers is the best. I like the chase inside the mall best![:D]

Howabout the epic chase in the ending scenes of the "Road Warrior" I don't know how it stands up with todays CGI effects, but it was pretty cool (if a bit over the top and cartoony [;)]) at the time.

There is no other chase scene than the BB one.
We can close this thread now, the discussion is over [:D]

How about the car chase in the new Bourne Supremacy? In older movies I like the ski chases in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and the French Connection (Doyle vs. railroad car)

Bullitt is the best but close second is Ronin, third is Blues Brothers mall scene.

My vote is for Ronin. For sheer artistry in driving, it can't be beat.

I used to think French Connection, but I had this very argument with some friends at work. After watching Bullitt, I changed my mind. French Connection is a far better film though.
