I thought everybody would enjoy a few extras topics for discussion since it has been a little slow on the forum lately.

This here is a topic I picked to provide hopefully an interesting discussion.
According to to a poll taken in a book of the Top Twenty Movie Car Chases of All Time:
20. Thunder Road 1958
19. Terminator 2: Judgement Day 1991
18. The Rock 1996
17. To Live and Die in L.A. 1985
16. The Matrix Reloaded 2003
15. The French Connection 1971 - during the Muscle Car Wars
14. Die Another Day 2002
13. Taxi/Taxi 2 1998/2002
12.
11. Gone in 60 Seconds 1974
10. Smokey and the Bandit 1977
9. The Blues Brothers 1980
8. C'Etait Un Rendezvous 1976
7. The Road Warrior (AKA Mad Max 2) 1981

RE: Top Twenty Movie Car Chases of All Time
Which chase scene from Terminator 2? There is quite a few. The one in the S.W.A.T. truck, the one in the S-10, the one between the Freightliner vs. the Harley and moped, the one in the LTD Crown Vic cop car. Which one.
My only problem with Bullit is I heard they had to drive slower with the Charger because the Mustang wasn't fast enough. I like the movie makers to be accurate.

RE: Top Twenty Movie Car Chases of All Time
Yea, that is funny that you say that because it all done by computers and special effects, now nobody cares about accuracy. Everybody just want to be woowed and wowed at the movies. Look at he Fast and the Furious and the Matrix 2.........all special effects but it does look cool but scientifically very accurate.
They were as accurate as they could be back in the day and they used many cars at high speed.
They have reduced this cost and increased safety with special effects computers.

I wonder why didn't the James Bond flick "Diamonds are Forever" with the Red Mach II Mustang make it in the top twenty poll?
I'll post the #1 and #12 on Wednesday evening.

There was that movie with John Wayne and his Formula Firebird, The Man with the Golden Gun (AMX Hornet-AMC did try) but I believe the best was Bullit.
