Have to disagree about the “Quantum of Solace” chase – it’s so incoherently edited that it makes no sense at all, visually.

“Gone in 60 Seconds” – sometimes even Halicki didn’t know what was going on.

At right about 21:00, you can see that either he or the other driver missed their mark, sending him spinning off the road and into the light pole for real.

According to his widow, his first words whenh he regained consciousness were “Did we get coverage on that?”

One of my favorites is also the fantastic one-take inside the car chase scene in Children of Men. Great movie and incredible work of Alfonso Cuarón (arguably his best film).

I suppose with some of the choices on here, you could have made room for the car chase from “Freebie and the Bean” (Richard Rush, 1974). The OTHER great San Francisco chase scene…

But what’s more interesting is that you folks, Collider, and Slashfilm all published the same article (great car chases) within 24 hours of each other. Was there a conference call made on how to capitalize on “The Fate of the Furious”? Or is this just a stunning coincidence?

ha ha! I was holding my breath until I came across The Raid 2 and was going to write up a very stern comment if you guys left it out! IMO, top 5 should be (in any order):
The Raid 2
French Connection
Ronin
Death Proof
Bullitt

Surprised the original Mad Max didn’t make the list. As much as I love “The Road Warrior,” the car chases feel way safer to me. They sped up the film a lot, which they didn’t do in Mad Max. In Mad Max they were doing it by the seat of their pants, doing everything for real. It just feels way faster and way more dangerous, because it really was.

I love the chase in A Most Violent Year, very low key and realistic yet thrilling at the same time.

In reply to Jeremy Carrier. No way. Supremacy's far better.

I know ‘best Michael Bay film’ is setting the bar low, but I recently re-watched The Rock. It is dreadful. Verging on incompetent. There’s definitely a so bad it’s good quality to it, most noticeably Cage’s performance (and his incredible vanity), but man, it is not good. It made me feel bad for Ed Harris, who’s trying really, really hard.

“(seriously, if you just cut out the entire first half with the other set of girls, you get exactly the film everyone wanted).” And miss the entire point of the movie. Death Proof is meant as a double feature all by itself, to juxtapose the difference between two kinds of seventies grindhouse indies; smashing them together to make a positive statement about how women’s roles have evolved.

Part of me was hoping there would be an honorable mention toward the taxi and police chase from The Fifth Element, despite the fact that all vehicles involved hover well above the actual ground.

Although Bay’s bombastic Bad Boys 2 bonanza still makes my jaw drop with it’s sheer ferocity, I still think his chase in The Island is better, the way it moves from foot to truck to sky to skyscraper, all the while getting faster and faster still gives me glee.
