The driving sequences in Ronin were absolutely extraordinary, for its time or any other. Has the chase scene in Paris been surpassed, or even equalled, with real cars and real drivers since? As far as I can tell there is only one real digital imposition in the scene, at the very end of the chase when Natascha McElhone, and Jonathan Pryce's car is sent spinning off the end of a bridge and you see them through the front windscreen as they go over the edge. Monsieur Lagniez, 'Bravo!'

My favorite movie from the 1sr time I saw it. I will watch anything with DeNiro. His relationship with Jean Reno in RONIN was extraordinarily written and played. Just overall one of the best movies ever made. To bad John Frankenheimer died of a stroke in 2002. What a shame he didn't live to do more great work.

Frankenheimer allowed Skip Sudduth, one of the actors (Larry) to do the actual high-speed driving. However, he gave him one directive. He didn't want to see any brake lights.

Agree. Car chases in us movies is based on show off but actually bad driving with losing time oversteering at each corner , rarely takes the racing lines etc. On this one, the driving is efficiency based with minimal oversteer and better use faster lines round the corners etc.

I own and have seen this film over 20x. It's so bad I can recite a good bit of the lines. Furthermore, watching this film is the main reason why I want an E34. I would also have to agree with the stunt driver coordinator on his remarks. American car chase scenes just seems too forced and many do not exhibit the technical skill to the level of the car chase scenes in Ronin. The S8 at the beginning and while dodging the Citroën was extremely technical and you knew it was a professional handling both vehicles in that frame. The way both were just in and out of traffic and from a cinematic perspective, it was shot perfectly. It was literally a car chase. The E34 535i vs the Peugeot was just perfection. The 535i was just dancing on the streets in Paris and you can feel the intensity. To date, that will be the best car chase and I do not think any film featuring a car chase can live up to the standards of this one. I can just watch this scene over and over again. It was like listening to Paganini's Violin Concerto No1 I D. Totally sublime of a scene.

RONIN's several car chase are easily the BEST ever filmed... but BULLITT's are still fifty years later the most ICONIC! That may sound like a direct contradiction, but the difference is RONIN's chases through the dense streets of Paris and the French countryside are full of different pieces of action. They are more complex and better choreographed with a lot more editing of various angles. With BULLITT, they have that green VW Bug that passes four times and all those hubcaps coming off the Dodge Charger, still it wins an Oscar for best editing... But BULLITT is not just ICONIC because of Steve McQueen, but the very Ford Mustang he drives. The car is every bit a legend as he is. BULLITT kicked-off a whole new sub-genre of car chase movies that continues to this day, only chases now are more about CGI animation, fast dizzying cuts and impossible comic book stunts. RONIN is a great thriller with a superb cast, well written and directed, but it failed at the box-office, probably because of the drab title and bad marketing by MGM. The thirty year difference between the two movies, still sees BULLITT as being the most talked about, bisected and revered despite all the competition, and really the movie that inspired the team behind RONIN!

They actually use the tunnel in which her car crashed. Her accident was actually before the filming of this movie

@DoubleMonoLR Жыл бұрын

@@jameshoran8 That's a myth, which presumably started from the similar appearance and happening within a short time of each other: 'One spectacular pursuit takes place inside a Paris tunnel that is remarkably similar to the location where England's Princess Diana was killed in a 1997 automobile accident. The filming took place in a different tunnel, however. "Paris has lots of tunnels, " Frankenheimer said. "That's part of the thing about the city I wanted people to see. A crash in a tunnel in Paris is about like someone having a crash on a freeway here. It happens all the time' (Rocky Mountain News,9/27/98). As @11:12 that was shot in the Les Halles tunnel network, princess Diana's crash was in the Pont de l'Alma underpass - it's only 150m long and perfectly straight (but with a bend in the road just prior) The Les Halles network is a kind of loop, and all parts combined make 4km in total, which I guess made it ideal for shutting down & filming. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/2012-07-16_Paris_plan_de_restructuration_de_la_voirie_souterraine_des_Halles.jpg The Champerret Tunnel is also mentioned as filming location, presumably for a different scene(possibly a non-driving scene) I'd imagine many of the tunnels look similar, as it would make sense to repeat the same structure type. Aside from being in poor taste, I couldn't imagine any film company would want to risk the public backlash of filming a car chase in the same tunnel anyway, presumably nor would they be likely to get approval.
