SilveradoEsEs Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 A couple of others that are obscure, but I think were awesome car scenes were from Ronin and Bourne Supremacy! Hellacious car chase scenes. Also, if you haven't seen it yet, Crank! The dude drives a mean ass 71'ish Buick Riviera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Transporter also has a really good chase. i must have a fetish for BMW chases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawss04 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 How about the Wraith w/ Charlie Sheen? Anyone remember that one.

misterp Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Smokey and the Bandits, Amaerican Graffiti was awsome...Love that black 55.They are my 2 favorite. I actually have AG on DVD. Gone in 60 seconds is a close 3rd. Those are my three picks, too. But I'm really partial to Smokey and the Bandit because the first car that ever 'hypnotised' me was a '78 Bandit T/A, I must have been 11 or 12 at the time and I heard one start-up and it was goddamned mean sounding, looking back now it's obvious it was a radically cammed 455 but at the time when I whipped around to look I thought that was the most beautiful car ever made, I was lovestruck. It's probably why my first car was a '77 Formula Firebird. So that makes Smokey and the Bandit my 'original' favorite. AG has a very special meaning for me as I spent my teen and early adult years crusing Modesto. 9th Street just isn't the same anymore. There are a lot of other good car movies, I love the first couple Mad Max flicks, I watch them every time they come on air; same with Goldfinger. Does Days of Thunder count? Ronin has a couple great action scenes in it. Bullit is an amazing film all you guys should rent, because it's authentic, real stunt driving by Steve McQueen, no fake effects. I also like the Ford GT40 scenes in A Man and A Woman. Mr. P. Edited September 22, 2006 by misterp (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgp6373 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 from what i have read in car mags the T/A in smokey and the bandit had a "700hp nascar motor " not sure if they are just passing on rumours or if its true but that car hauled ass in the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smit Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Without a doubt, Two Lane Blacktop. You younger guys got to check it out. Damn good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanass Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) i thought of another one... Days of Thunder... kinda boring but overall not a bad movie. The new Dukes of Hazard was pretty damn good too... great car stunts...(especially that drift around the round about ) Edited September 22, 2006 by montanass (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot rod truck Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Made for TV movie: The California Kid (1978-79?) Martin Sheen- '34 Ford 3 window Vic Morrow, Sheriff- '57 Plymouth Nick Nolte, Mechanic Story about corrupt sheriff who runs people off the road on the outskirts of town on a winding stretch of highway. The California Kid (Sheen) hits town to avenge his younger brother's death at the hands of the sheriff. Nolte's character helps modify the '34 to handle the curves to outrun the sheriff's Plymouth Kind of cheesy but it is from the '70s. Zippy could star in the remake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
