Best car chases!

Well, I can't really argue with this:

http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/...956528,00.html

Except that the Fast and the Furious is in there, and the original Gone In Sixty Seconds isn't!

And they missed the awesome chase from "To Live and Die in LA" which is on a par with anything else I've seen.

What about the original Gone in 60 seconds, the whole film is one long car chase and knocks spots of the Nic Cage remake!!

Saw the Matrix Reloaded last night...and none of the above comes CLOSE to the scene about half way through.

(look out for the bit where the agent jumps onto the bonnet of the moving car and caves it in at about 50mph!)

Don't you just love Spoilers.

Just to mention: I liked the little chase scene at the end of Bad Boys with the Porka and Cobra.

Oh and most of these...

How is that a spoiler?
Doesn't give away any plot.

But now i know that it's going to happen. So its spoiled it for me.

It's not always the plot - but a part in the film that i will be expecting.

How on earth can a slight description of a action movie be classed as a spoiler?

Here's a spoiler for the original Matrix- Neo uses a machine gun.. oops...

My sentiments exactly

[insult removed by moderator - Dont do it again, warning given] still stands!

Oh, and there are parts with loud explosions too.
that should spoil it for you.

"P***K" how eloquent

Really? I thought The Matrix will have singing, dancing, poetry, and Shakespearian talk. You've ruined it for me now!

Here's a spoiler for 99% on American films. The good guys win, the baddie dies horribly, people cheer at the end of the film..

What word has been blanked out? PM me .

Bunkerbuster, YTGTI - Please reraim from insulting each other. you are both entitled to your opinion and the thread could have turned into a discussion about what you deemed a spoiler.

YTGTI - I know you were only reacting to bunkerbuster but there was no need for language like that.

Both of you Dont do it again.
