Best car chase?
Any recommendations. I have a group of petrolhead friends who want to come over for a demo.
Last time they came I showed Ronin, which was pretty impressive.
In a dem room some time ago I saw a clip from a Vin Diesel film where a number of cars were chasing a truck across a country road. Sounded awesome, but I never found out which film it was. Not XXX though.
Thanks for any input
Peter

Peter - If you want to scare the bejesus out of them what about the crash scene from Final Destination 2 ?
or for impressive car & bike action there's always The Matrix Reloaded or if they're into Minis what about The Italian Job 2003 ?

Peter, the original Gone in 60 seconds not the s**t remake. The final car chase is 45minutes at least, yes it was filmed in the seventies and on a small budget but this is where most other movies got there ideas.

Car chases - where to start (in no particular order)
* The Transporter has a pretty good chase at the start.
* Italian Job (the first one),
* Ronin
* French Connection - although that's more of a tram/train race - even better as it was filmed live
* Matrix 2
* The Rock - trashes a Ferrari
* Speed - trashes an XJS
* Bullit
* The Driver (not a chace as such but the garage scene is great)
* Smokey and the Bandit 1 & 2 (can't remember if there was a 3?)
* Cannonball Run
* Too fast too furious (and I guess the first one too)
All great but Ronin has to be the best
Now need to go and watch Ronin again
