The Bourne Identity has a great car chase scene with the red Min, but then I would say that.

I wouldn't have said the original was truly bad . If you like your films hollywood style then maybe. The one thing it has which you will never see in today's politically correct nonsense is you actually see them breaking into cars in detail and it pretty clearly shows exactly how to ring a car properly. There's no way they'd get away with now!
I know for sure that I've no desire to see the remake verion again but I'm happy to watch the original any time ;D

Had to vote for the Italian Job - probably the one film that most influenced me to become a "Retro-geezer", all that jumping and hand-brake turns: I knew I'd have to have a mini at some point....Mind you, it was alot harder than it looked...(hazy memory drifts back of Mini grounded on verge, 4 wheels in the air after 360-deg slide off gravel road....  ) |

I voted driver as the car chases in it are spot on, lovely tight package of a film too.

What about the following films ?... Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (classic!) That was on TV recently - very amusing, with some great chase sequences ;D The ending isn't too dissimilar in concept to Vanishing Point, which is what I voted for - great car, great chase sequence (an entire film's length!) great scenery, and great music |

There's another good chase sequence in "Fear is the Key". If I remember rightly the car is a red Ford Torino. Been a while since I've seen it so I could be wrong.

Has anyone seen 'The Bourne Supremacy?' That has a QUALITY car chase in it, with a Volga taxi and a Merc G-wagen! 20 out of 10 for originality!
Otherwise its Ronin for pure car chase action. I find car chases are always better with a european flavour than US style wallowing and screeching.

theres a great car chase film that enjoyed limited release a few months back called 'the highwaymen' basically theres this crazy wheel-chair bound psychotic killer chap who only has one arm and one leg, who drives around in a '72 el dorado running over pretty women, until one day he kills the wife of some dude who then pursues the killer all across the US in his stripped out ’68 Plymouth Barracuda. its all a bit nuts but well worth watching! i urge you all to check it out!

I know it doesn't really count in the same way as some of them, but what about Get Carter? There are plenty of interesting motor bits in it, and loads of nice cars, plus the storyline and non car related bits are great too, which can't be said for some car chase films, where you're waiting for the motor bits because the rest is a bit naff. Other than that the original Italian Job.

Get Carter is a great film.
A cortina smashes the door of a Mk2 Jag before getting flattened by Alf Roberts.
and
A sunbeam Alpine gets ragged around a car park before being dumped in the river with a dead girl in the boot
Fantastic

Nope. Sorry, at the risk of being slightly rude you are all wrong! The best car chase scene is with a doubt C'etait Un Rendezvous as it ain't no Hollywood movie, just 8 minutes and 50 seconds of real footage of a camera strapped to the front of a Ferarri racing through the early morning streets of Paris, to meet his lady. For years and years, this was a very underground movie, but it got released on DVD a couple of months back. I have a copy which I ripped to 60Mb on the PC, so I guess it's too big to send anyone, but it really is a daring and scary piece of footage. Hmm, maybe I should upload it to a secret location for a couple of days so a few of you chaps can have a look! Oh no, that would be a little naughty, wouldn't it...

BAH! everyone knows that the film is sped up to make it look like he is going faster than he is,.. Best car short film is Climbdance. And if your all nice I might put it up on the site. |

Nah, not sped up, it can't be - you can see people walking about, and Renault 4's going at the speed Renault 4's go at! The sound may have been altered to make the car seem faster than it is , but still a fantastic piece of driving... Lets 'ave a looky at Climbdance then... |
