The seven ups, the "sequel" chase to Bullit, designed by the same driver as the Bullit car chase scene

quote from wakipedia below


Is that Jason Gordon-Levitt's back in time twin driving that bus? Sweet chase.

no one has mentioned the following...

transporter
the mechanic
the expendables
jonny english
drive
hot fuzz
bad boys
wanted
speed
ANY of the james bond films. id say octapussy, but only because that was my uncles car.
herbie
fast and furious
mission impossible.

all have car chases in them, none of the BAD.

pretty much everything else has been mentioned.

For realism, driver has to be pretty close to top. just watched it and its awsome.

I still think the best chase is from the Bond film The Man With The Golden Gun because it has the stunt in it where the car barrel rolls over the river. To me that's the best car stunt ever.

And, if I'm not mistaken, they did it in one take

Don't know if it's true or not but I heard that Clive Owen actually did the driving after spending a long time with stunt drivers. Such a shame he turned the role of James Bond down...
