The Movie Car Chase Thread

 

Since I was a child I've been an enthusiast of the car chases, either in the movies and real life. This thread will be focused on collecting the pursuits featured in movies and TV series, from the most famous to the rarest ones, modern and older. Hope you enjoy it, and feel free to help making this archive bigger

Cool

Strike, I must commend you on an excellent job.  I'll be sure to view all of these!  Here are a few more;

 

A shorter chase from Police Academy - note the distinctive siren used for the AMC Matador police cruiser. :D [Chase starts at about 2:28]

 

 

---

Note that the Smokey and the Bandit movies are pretty much incredibly long car chases;

 

 

---

The Matrix Reloaded has an unforgettable one;

 

 

---

Terminator 2 has a great one;

Definetly have some great classics in there, and I also absolutely love the Bourne series, but my favorite is from Jack Reacher. 

I've also always been facinated by car chases.

Thanks for making this!

So many great movies there :D

And like GTATerminal said thx for making this!

Ah, the memories...

There are so many car chases it can go on and on. Good Job though!

Thanks for sharing the older Gone In 60 Seconds.I had that movie when I was small I like the older one over the newer one.

This is my favorite.

I can't believe I forgot one of the best! From the very beginning of Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy;

 

WOW, great topic. Some time ago I found this compilation:

Anybody have clips of the chases from the 'Transporter' movie series? Those were done by the same dude who handled the chases in The French Connection and the Bourne series.

I missed it, classic Detroit Police! Thank you guys for the contribution!

 

Here some more, many of these 1970s and 1980s series had police chases.

 

Starsky and Hutch, the mythical unmarked Gran Torino "Zebra 3".

I'm not quite sure about youtube videos; they occasionally just decide to not embed at times.  Also, the Starsky and Hutch ones were great!  Jack Reacher was also quite good, as were the scenes from Due South, but I was hurt that they had to blow up a perfectly fine 1983-1987 LTD Crown Victoria. >___<

 

Cobra with Sylvester Stallone has a decent chase in it;

 

It's not a movie but Third Watch has some really nice car chases, combine that with the classic tune and you've got one epic video!

A pursuit between a Ford Crown Victoria and Chevrolet Caprice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj-fD6-cqbk

I don't know if you can classify this as a "car chase" but it does show off the classic NYPD Caprice

^ Compeast would love it xD

 

Some more chases featured in Third Watch. Gotta say I really liked the first seasons.

 

Chrysler Fifth Avenue vs Crown Victoria

1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS vs Crown Vics, Caprices and even an unmarked Town Car. Kick ass!

The movie US Marshals had a good chase scene in it if I remember right.  I can't find it on Youtube but here's the trailer;

Super Troopers also has a fantastic opening scene and chase.  [The chase starts at about 5:59]

 

There is no beating Bullitt. 

There is no beating Bullitt.

Well, he was race car driver :P He has another chase in his last movie, The Hunter (1980), chasing a Pontiac Grand Prix with a Chevrolet tow truck:
