I heard the French Connection scene was actually shot with real traffic and people were in danger, but no one got really hurt. Loved that scene!

I second The French Connection All time best

[envirogator]

I just rewatched "The Italion Job" this week...pretty exciting chase scene...

[pennington]

"Vanishing Point" is basically one chase through the whole movie.

"Ronin" has a great chase.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

Considering one of them is a winnebago, Race with the Devil has a pretty cool chase scene. There's a bit of it at the end of the trailer:

[Sarge]

French Connection, and Bullit are by far the best. The chase at the end of The Blues Brothers is really good also.

[IMSlacker]

The Bourne Identity had a pretty good one.

[sailor]

dammit, my favorites were all mentioned: bullitt (mikeyboy was soooo close), french connection, blues brothers and italian job. was so close to getting a mini after the italian job, but it was just too small. :(

[thepaulo]

You might try the Seven Ups......

something Roy Schieder did not long after he did the French Connection.....

Anyone whose stomach didn't drop out when that Mack truck stormed through the barrier is lying.

For realsies.

[WhistlePig]

I loved the one in Bullit but the one in the entire movie "Duel" was my favorite.

Gene Hackman chasing the E in French Connection.


yes, i second that.

[DolaMight]

I'm with tubby, bullet for sure. Every motion-picture-motor-vehicle-pursuit scene since owes it's existance to Bullit.

French Connection was the obvious next but for just one brief scene I choose: the man with the golden gun.

The genuine 360 barrel-roll still blows me away to this day

Clip of it at 2:12 of this video:

Wait... the MALL chase in Blues Brothers?

No no. The FINALE chase in Blues Brothers is where it's at.

[hedges]

I'd say that 95% of car chases in movies bore the hell out of me. That being said, my favorites have been mentioned several times: "The French Connection" and "Bullit".

That's a great one too -- but it's basically Bullit's chase done in New York City.

Bourne Identity, Ronin, The Rock - been said

Bad Boys - the scene with the Porsche racing the Cobra at the airport always gets my hear pumping.

being that Vanishing Point, The French Connection, Bullitt, and the Blue Brothers have been mentioned, I will have to go with my number 5 which was the first part of the car chase in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. Zoe's doing Ship's Mast and SMM comes out of no where. Chasing and hitting the Challenger, it put me on edge.

1) French Connection
2) Blues Brothers
3) Bullitt
4) Vanishing Point
5) Death Proof

and as honorable mention, Steve McQueen chasing himself on the motorcycle in The Great Escape.
