Poll: The best car chases in films?

[G-MAN2004]

GoldenEye - DB5 vs F355

Just pure class.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

I've now seen Mad Max 4, Fury Road.

It seemed to me about 80% Mad Max 2 with the full-on road chases and about 20% Mad Max 3 with the tribal element. I liked the spiky 'hedgehog' cars in the 1st chase, although I found the editing confusing when they entered that electric storm. The 3rd and final chase was akin to Mad Max 2 with good guys and bad guys traversing across the numerous vehicles. The trapezes were damn impressive. I also liked the guitarist flame-thrower! The only thing missing really was a feral kid, although I did see a couple of flashbacks (?) of her before and during the final chase. I didn't pick up what the context was though. A solid 9/10 from me.

fast and the furious series

Blues Brothers is the uncontested best car chase. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't seen it. Simple as that.

Wouldn't argue with anything mentioned so far.

But I don't think the car chase in Mission Impossible Rogue Nation has been mentioned yet.

Austin Powers in the luggage cart for me.

Every car chase in every Taxi film from the French series (not the Queen Latifa tosh). High budget Peugeot heaven.

From 30 seconds onward, best sounding opening ever

French Connection has some of the best. Ronin probably takes it though for obvious reasons. Live and let Die has a good one from memory in LA? Children of Men actually has a great one with some awesome camera trickery. Raid 2 as well. Too many to list!

I've always considered the same. I mean Ronin is good but it's not that good.

The original 60 seconds.

100% this, more or less the whole film is a car chase.
