Steven Spielberg's first major movie I believe. There's a rearview mirror shot and you can see someone in the backseat. LOL

Saw Duel on the 2:00 movie on TV. A LOT more intense when you throw in the ads.

Classic. I’ve probably watched it 10 times. Kind of a suspenseful slow motion chase.

@@Porsche996driver Should have replaced the fan belt..

all made on a 450k budget amazing movie

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry is iconic.

“James Dean”? I’ve never heard of him.

@@franciscs1604 I assume you are joking 🤭🤭

All praise H.B Halleki

i agree

yep

There’s the 1970 original, then there was a mediocre remake staring Viggo Mortensen.

I thought I was the only person who watched vanishing point

@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump , dirty flea covered dog balls are a delicacy to some dirty flea covered dogs

Victor Espinoza cheers

Yes, indeed! The original Vanishing Point is the real one! #1, have seen it between 50 & 75 times! Maybe more! I know the script from beginning to end! I drive a 2013 Challenger R/T (white like Kowalski's was)with 5.7L, Hemi, 6 speed manual, 3.73 limited slip rear end.

TheBlackdragonnight Just Because a movie is a car chase scene doesn't make it good.

Two Lane was not really a car chase movie. Vanishing Point was the ultimate car chase movie.

@@spblondy Agreed. No chase as such in Two Lane Blacktop.

@ I'm glad I haven't seen it.

@ Only watch it for the cars. It had several Mopar cameos in it that the original did not.

100% true v.point should be no 1 in ur list

Truth. Matter of fact The French Connection was only a redo of Bullitt since the director hated the Bullitt chase had no other cars so he insisted on The French Connection car chase.

Bullitt was filmed in 1968

Bullitt was 1968 I believe. But I was a teenager in the seventies and hadn't heard of half of these films.

@@chuckaddison5134 Yep, Bullitt was the 60s

And second place goes to the gas station attendant: "looks like you could use a new radiator hose".

One of the Valiants used was a V8! The other 2 used were Slant 6’s.

Richard Jordan I was gonna say...aside from the sweet driving between the Charger and '70 Coronet police special, it had some of the ballsiest flying skills from a stunt pilot I've ever seen.

yeah and how about Bullet with Steve McQueen

Jack Johnson That was 1968. Wouldn't be eligible for this list

+BoUrnNe26 I was just curious what year that Hornet was but I appreciate that... you just don't see those cars anymore

Ya and I played a cop in it.

Misfit Jeep Gone in 60 seconds was the same way.

Yeah gone in 60 seconds should be the number 1. Here's why 1) they totaled more cars in that chase than any other movie. 2) they shot on sundays because that's when they knew the people who checked for permits had the day off 3) H.B knocked himself out in the scene when he was going into the freeway and slammed the car into the light pole 4) the scene at the car wash was just classic 5) he acted and drove the car no stunt drivers for him. The French connection was cool but the gone in 60 seconds D's back story is way cooler.

You're right. Gone in 60 seconds by faaar...

@@ericgatter2830 "They totaled more cars in that chase than any other movie." Until Toby Halicki made "The Junkman" - which also totaled an airplane. That it wasn't supposed to. Halicki wound up with three compressed vertebrae that changed the way he walked for the rest of his {sadly, short} life from the final jump over the wrecked cars. And, looking at the film, it looks as if they may have done it TWICE. Also - the light pole? Wasn't supposed to happen. You can see that either Halicki or the other driver missed his mark, they made contact, and he lost control. According to his wife, the first thing he said after he came to was "Did we get coverage?"

and it was based on a true story then in the 80's it was called"the pizza connection". their is only documentarys about the pizza connection. both are about breaking the heroine pipe line.wish they would make a movie about it. Carmine Galante stewing in prison for years lining up all of connections for the Masse based heroine pipeline. and gets a little to big for his own good.

Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry definitely number one for the ending of a car chase

Also Freebie and the bean, one of my favorites

I AGREE, FLOYD. I CAME BACK TO MENTION VANISHING POINT and Fear is the Key,, also starring Barry Newman (not sure what year it was made, but I am pretty sure a great chase scene was in it too).

Absolutely agree, was gonna make the same comment...

@@tolfan4438 I first saw that at an early age, like around 5 or 6, wasn't ready for that, but it blew me away, still does to this day...

"it's got a cop motor, cop SHOCKS~" that is one of my favorite lines in the movie!!!

Blues Brothers had the record for most cars ever wrecked in a movie at 103

I appreciated that it was a PG rated chase scene. The TV version didn’t have the cuss words anyways.

I love blues brother

So it can't be here if it's not 70s movie.

One Lap Kings Media I thought that was from the 60s?

Both of them are from '71.

Two Lane Black Top doesn't really have a chase scene in it per se they are following the GTO but never necessarily chasing it if you know what I mean great movie though I watched it the other day

Vanishing point definitely should've gotten at least a courtesy nod.

Jenda Hrbek yes indeed

the bleus brothers

@@joepkooij3290 1980, out of bounds, sadly enough...

Right on brother

Yes, they forget Vanishing point. Why? Strange.

The original gone in 60 seconds,vanishing point and the bullit with Steve McQueen are my favorites

“GTA”…??

@@franciscs1604 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK-aq7hm1a-xqnk.html

Omg, Gumball Rally! 😂😂😂I forgot about that one, lol!

Oh yeah.. i agree with the narrator.. that movie gave me nightmares. To this day, i will not watch it.

Wackedgaming I was thinking the same thing.

Wackedgaming I wondered about that, I didn't remember seeing some of those clips in the first one, some of the cars looked newer than 1977 too.

Yeah that was kind of annoying teen smokey and the bandit , then they showed all three of them!😡

That's right..the clips are definitely one two and three...and what about grand theft auto?

Wait there was a Smokey and the Bandit 3?!?!?!?

BULLITT!!!!!!

@@tomgarrett687 1968

@@tomgarrett687 , and the big car pile-up scene from Blues brothers isn't here, WTH!?

Blues brothers are on 80s best car chase

I still have yet to see TLB, but want to in the worst way. Agree with you on the other two...

Well, did you get nightmares from semi-trucks?

Yes, mine too.

Exactly! same

However, you had scenes from all 3 movies.... only the first SATB movie was in the 70's

up to speed with anything, guys hotter than hell

The best car chase

*Nightmares of getting chased by a big rig*

@@JasontheFolf I'm very careful on the freeway not to make any sudden car maneuvers around them lol

The original not the new version, although the new versions car looks better ? But Crazy Larry dirty Mary is my number one for car crashes and car chase movies of all time, just when you through they got away bang straight into the train ? The story f the movie has a lot to do with the car chases, not the other way round?

PrestonLK same

That is so true I love the car and watching it get beat to hell is both entertaining and sad at the same time

same

Great story friend. Your father, like mine is the last of the great "old school" dads. Thanks for sharing. My dad worked all the time during my childhood but would take me to Saturday matinees because nobody shared his interest in action movies (but me). We would see John Wayne movies and the most memorable "Mad Max". Good times. Awesome childhood memories. Glad you had one of those real fathers that rarely exist in today's culture. Hope you keep the family tradition.

I have total respect for French drivers. Visited Paris a few years back and the six lane circle around the Arc De Triumph was a sight to behold. It was wall to wall cars and they navigated aggressively but seamlessly through it.

And his son Paul raced at Le Mans and drove in F1 (bit of a stretch to say he actually raced...). Was a Viper driver in the GT2 days, drove Porsche 962s, the Jaguar XJ220C and Nissan prototypes.

The original Gone in 60 Seconds has been my no1 for a few years now since first seeing it, Halicki made a hell of a film on such a tight budget, favourite stunt was when he left the freeway taking out a lamp post (not planned) and it put him out of action for a while.

I legit went to check when it came out when I got to #1 and didn't see it XD

I assumed Bullitt was going to be #1 on this list... then I found out it was released in the 60s :(

Oh yes .

Also , they drove on the wrong side of the road 😁

And now that we’re in the 2020’s, they should do a Top 10 best car-chases from the 2010’s!

Well I love firebirds but smokey and the bandit tops that movie no question and a 1977 firebird trans am is the best car ever made you dont buy a rolls royce for speed you buy it for luxury just like you dont buy a firebird for speed you buy it for how beautiful the paint is and the lines and curves of it I could buy amd audi for $84,000 but I'd much rather buy the firebird

Did you get nightmares from that semi-truck, or just semi-trucks *in general* ?

Yea, that crash on the highway into the lightpole was legit and completely unplanned/accidental.

Zach Ogdahl I heard the same thing

God Bless the guy Hallicki (sp?) who had the passion and vision to pull off this film, the way he did it, on the budget he had, using friends as actors, his own address in the script, etc. And the remake SUCKED.

Toby Haliki was killed in 1989 performing a stunt in one of the many sequels. Imagine what he would have produced by now, had he lived...

Toby had Jimmy Jines build most of the stunt cars in his film. Jimmy owned California Customs in Bellflower, Ca. and was a personal friend. Jimmy claimed that he built 4 Elinore Mustang's but, only actually used 1 of them. That's right. The Stang he starts with at the beginning is the same Stang that limps into the car wash at the end. Jimmy built all the Cadillacs that get wiped out at the dealership scene. Said he got them from Toby's junkyard and not one of them had any drivetrain in them. Just a few things I can remember about the filming of the greatest car chase flick to date IMHO.

speilberg used a digitally enhanced version of the metallic sound of the truck going over the edge in jaws when the shark was killed and sank. He said he used it in honour of his first movie Duel.

Bullitt is from the 60s.

No doubt the greatest car chase in Bullitt with the Uber cool Steve McQueen. But that was filmed in 1968 I believe.

Vanishing point chase was better.

#BULLITT was released on 17th October 1968, which is why it does not make this list... like duhhh

Ken Chester Bullitt was made in the 60's pal

Robert McLeod - yep. He donated it because the film's budget was almost exhausted. And instead of using actual paint, they used milk, so as not to stain the road. All cop cars in the film were 1974 Ford Falcon sedans, sourced from a local Ford dealer in Melbourne. Max's V8 Interceptor was a supercharged 1973 Ford Falcon GT coupe (with the front end from a '77 Ford Fairmont). The car the Night Rider (aka Crawford Montizano) stole & crashed was a 1972 Holden Kingswood. Whilst driving, he quotes lyrics from a 1976 AC/DC song, "Rocker". A total of 14 vehicles were destroyed in the filming of the stunts. One of the stunt drivers in Mad Max was Phil Brock - brother of legendary Australian V8 racing driver Peter Brock (R.I.P.) "Look Fif, I'm scared. Any longer out there, and I'm one of them!" "Better send a meat truck - Charlie's copped a saucepan in the throat!"

No it wasn't..thay got the van from a scrap yard...he would not use his own van he needed it for other stuff...look it up...

A Drongo van? Miller defenitly needed it to be junked.
