Greatest Movie Car Chases!

[Dauphin]

The Hidden (1987)

Opens with a 7-minute bank robbery car chase involving an alien in a human host driving a Ferrari 308 or 328 being chased by cop cars.

The Rover (2014)

A recent Aussie film about a near future desolate Australia where a drifter gets his car stolen by a gang and goes to find it back any way he can. Quite a grim film but Guy Pearce was good. The police force drives the super-wide US Army-type Humvees.

[mash again]

anyone mentioned white lightning with burt reynolds, he drives a ford ltd moonshine car with twin 4 barrels and jumps it onto a barge to getaway.

Freedom (1982) - staring the late Jon Blake, 930 Porsche, Triumph Stag, Falcon Coupe.... and music by Don Walker, doesn't get much better !! Great movie !!

[xr6tjet]

Speed Zone (Dubbed Cannonball Run 3 with John Candy etc) Had a few good chase scenes with the lamborghini countach! The rest I have seen listed here lol

[snakeoil]

I think the movie with the killer Plymouth was called Christine which was written by Steven King

Same as other posters I rate Duel, Vanishing Point, Gone in 60 seconds, Bullet, Mad Max 1 and 2,Running on empty and American graffiti as some of my faves!

American Grafitti is a film showcasing car culture of the late 50s.........really cool cars and some now very famous people star in the film.I think it might have George Lucas (star wars etc) first film

[MrXR8]

There is a pretty good police chase in a b grade movie called'fear is the key' with Barry Newman. He drives a ford gran Torino through Louisiana.

The same producer made an Aussie version called Special Squad, set in 1980s Melbourne with XD or XE Falcons driven by the stars, but it has seldom been seen since its first run.

I was a fan of those two shows and it was something entertaining to watch as opposed to some of the trash we are subjected to these days.

In the Professionals Cowley drove the red Granada,Bodie and Doyle the Capri and Escort.

XE Falcons were used in Special Squad,a Fairmont Ghia,Fairmont and S-Pack if i remember correctly.

My favorite movie car chases are:

Smokey And The Bandit
Duel
Gone in 60 Seconds (original)
Bullit
Dukes Of Hazzard (2005)
Gone in 60 Seconds (remake)


plenty of other great car movies too like the cannonball run, vanishing point, american graffiti, two lane blacktop just to name a few of my favourites

You (and everyone who agrees with you) should check out Two-lane black top(1971).

Thanks!! Fear is the Key was a fantastic film, if one is into the older stuff. The Gran Torino goes through hell in the long chase sequences.

The film takes a twist half way through and the ending was quite dramatic.

Not a chase movie ,but definitely a great car flick-"HOT ROD". Made about 79, lots of drag racing, bit of street racing , and general car shenanigans.
Star of the show is a Hemi powered 41 Willys coupe,4 speed , in primer grey.FAR KEN AWESOME!! And some good old school rock and roll .Find it and watch it!!

[Dauphin]

To add to the records...

Nightcrawler is a great (nasty) film from 2014. The main character drives around a new Dodge Challenger. Given his job of capturing video for news networks, you can guess what he gets up to. There's a cool scene where he is chasing cop cars which are chasing a suspect.

Just finished watching Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974). Loved the Charger and the high-powered cop car, and the Bell JetRanger helicopter chase also.

[mik]

so many good car chase scenes, probably been said already , ronin , bourne movies ?
yeah dirty mary crazy larry, have seen that one a few times , and susan george was pretty hot too i reckon , i like the ones that give a sensation of danger and speed, some have all the special effects but no sense of danger..

Smokey and the bandit 1&2

And more recently, death race 2 &3.

Agreed. I'm into trucks as well. But "the big black Mack with the can on the back" was a R700.

+ Aussie movie "Prime Mover" the chase scene with the caravan.
+ Joy Ride 1 and 2

I read an interview recently with Peter Fonda where he talks about Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. He said he did most of the driving scenes and stunts with Adam Rourke (Deke) and Susan George in the car. All of it was done at actual speed, not at half speed where the film is usually sped up to make it look like it was done at actual speed. Susan George was never told what they'd be doing during the chase scenes because they wanted her reactions to be real (terrified).

Found this crazy car chase on YouTube from a film called Short Time:

Convoy - LOL

[Express]

I recently saw Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof on SBS and the chase between the 1970 440 Dodge Challenger and the 1969 Dodge Charger was pretty cool.

Looks like a lot of crazy action including a gunman hanging out of a VH Charger firing a machine gun. Hope to see it one day!

[PaulXR50]

Ronin had couple of good car chases with the Audi S8 & think it had another with one of them in a BMW.

[Vesper Martini]

Certainly not the greatest but worth a watch is a Classic NZ movie form 1981
Goodbye Pork pie

Basically a whole move dedicated to a Mini evading cops in HQ Holdens
