ChaseScenes

Latest revision as of 10:33, 24 September 2008

What are some of the best chase scenes in movies (or TV)?

(There should be a criteria for 'chase scene' here)

Action chases
- Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior - Vehicles
- Casino Royale - Foot (Wikipedia:Parkour)

Comedy chases
- The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery - Trains
- Blues Brothers - Vehicles
- Wallace and Grommit: The Wrong Trousers - Trains

Other notable
- The Runaway Bride (Episode of Dr Who) - for TARDIS chasing london Cab
- TRON - more like a race than a chase, but for the computer effects, style and frenetic pace

It's a curious point that the comedy entries are dominated by english entries, and indeed, by trains!

Also, by recommendation only thus far...
- The French Connection
- The Italian Job 1969 2003
