[Dan Gliballs]

The 360degree Jump in `Thunderball`

Wasn't that in The Man With The Golden Gun,..............or was it Diamonds Are Forever?

 

[m0cea]

Just a few off the top of my head

Wanted
Transporter
Ronin

 

[fingermouse]

anyone putting F&F wants shooting

 

[Lee Goodall]

Tokyo Drift

 

[Lee Goodall]

Seriously though.. Mad Max!

 

[Audimad]

The chase scene in Bullet is over rated, if you watch closely you will see the two cars pass the same VW Beetle about 5 times. Now either they just played the same scene from different angles or that Beetle was faster and managed to get past without them noticing. Mustang or Dodge Charger, no thanks, i'll take Herbie.

 

[pjmspeedy]

"Driver" was also a classic

 

[Lee Goodall]

Gone in sixty seconds (1970 & 2000 version).

Smokey and the bandit

 

[pjmspeedy]

Smokey and the bandit

These are cool! I think I have the DVD box set of them somewhere. May have to watch them over the weekend as the misses is away on Sunday

 

[Neilybabs]

Condor Man.

Awesome shout.

The Goonies!

 

[morgan306]

anyone putting F&F wants shooting

I'll second that!

Transporter has got to be one of my favourites!

 

[NHN]

Ronin, what a movie, loved it from start to finish
The Bourne Trilogy - fantastic movies
Gone in 60 Seconds - Cage, wicked movie & Eleanor, stunning car

Tron - Cant wait for the new Tron 2 movie to come out, Tron has been a fav of mine since knee high years.

 

[Ess_Three]

Vanishing Point

We have a winner!
Play that bay boy loud on a decent home cinema set-up and it'll shake pictures off the walls! Mmm...great noise!

 

[Neilybabs]

No - The Goonies? chunk spills his twinky its so good?

Guys?

 

[unkle]

Ronin, what a movie, loved it from start to finish

Its on 5 tonight 22:10...

 

[Neilybabs]

Goonies? guys?

 

[alijames]

Its on 5 tonight 22:10...

Yup, just watched F&F. Forgot how sh*t the plot was, but that Charger sounded fantastic.

Now onto Ronin...

Cheers,

 

[Nilz]

The Rock - Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, the chase with the yellow Ferrari

 

[Dazmo]

Vanishing Point Lol

If you watch closely you see them go by the same car about 20 times.

 

[Dazmo]

The scene in HEAT where they jump in the car after the robbery and its gets shot to s**t by the police, i know its not quite a car chase but its in a car lol

 

[floyd 1.8 turbo]

Herbie is ****, Smokey and the bandit rules, as does cannonball run. Bert Reynolds is a god!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[armydrifter]

Gone in 60 seconds has my vote

 

[floyd 1.8 turbo]

The original Gone in 60 seconds is much better than the new(ish) one

 

[bad-vw-boy]

Ronin scenes are excellent.

lol...maybe Taxi (french movie)

taxi was awesome with mercs

 

[the old one]

The Gumball Rally

 

[kolenkooll]

1. Bullitt
2. Ronin
2. The French Connection
4. The Blues Brothers
5. The Italian Job
6. The Fast and the Furious
7. Casino Royale
8. Batman Begins
9. The Road Warrior
10. Smokey and the Bandit

 

[MIKE GTR]

The lotus in The spy who loved me must have been the greatest PR coup ever for Lotus as was the Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit -

Best car video has to be Cosmic Girl by Jamereriqai

FYI - if anyone wants a proper driving song then download the theme from cannonball run, it has the noise of the lambo V12 - I shall one day be driving a muchelargo with this and also cosmic girl at full chat lol.

 

[smudge_don]

Duel is a good car chase film

 

[rasA4]

From Paris with Love been told it looks good has a Audi A8/S8?

 

[Audimad]

Bullit was over rated, if you watch the chase closely you will see both cars go past the same green VW Beetle four times. How did the VW get past them for them to overtake it so many times, maybe Steve McQueen should have drove a Beetle, he would have caught them quicker.
