the irony of a series built on car chases, being fast and furious having the worst car chases in cinema is heavy
The irony indeed!
fast five was the last fast and furious movie to have actually good car chases
Tokyo Drift has a pretty great one at the climax of the film. The 2nd one has few nice ones too. And the 4th has a pretty good one with the blue Skyline. But yeah, there's a lot lacking.
It actually feels more like a statistical inevitability BECAUSE the entire series is built on car chases, there's so many you can't not have some of the worst ones come up
They literally are amazing lol 😂
I don't know anybody who thinks they are bad
Dom in F&F1: *sees 2 police cars* 😲
Dom in F&F8: *jumps over a submarine to avoid a missle* 😐
PAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!
Accurate!
He leveled up, LMAO!
I have to keep reminding myself that the first movie featured the crew boosting VCR/DVD combos. Truly an art film compared to what it is now.
@@OgYokYok Number 1 is Citizen Kane in comparison....!
Character development
The original 1979 Mad Max car chase is absolutely one of the best - it looked dangerous because it generally was. But it’s Miller’s choice of angles that covers it is what makes it truly iconic.
It's definitely a good one for sure! Very raw and gritty!
@@MarcusFlemmings i love The Road Warrior even more than any of them
@@andyventure That's a good chase for sure!
When the cops hit the combi was amazing how the car make horizontal turns
Best ever was in Mad Max Fury Road and it is not even close. Then, MI:2 and Matrix Reloaded.
Baby Driver. Are we not going to talk about Baby Driver?
Great video!
You know what....that is a great film for car chases! I was going to a video on the opening scene in that film -- but there's been many videos about it already, so I have nothing new to say about it other than it's a great chase :) Thanks for the comment!
baby driver is just diet blues brothers
No mention of Ryan Goslin DRIVER. Oh wait, it had zero point zero car chases!!! 😂😂😂
@@kostastube2010 Nah, there was one car chase in it after the botched heist where the hot next door neighbour's husband got killed, but it wasn't very good to be quite honest.......
very very different movies mate@@TrippingHawk
I think the Nick Fury car chase in the Winter Soldier was done very well, but I guess the tension of the moment also had a part to play in that scene as well.
There's not much of a chase per se but it's a great action scene!
One of the best
underated opinion
I don't mind the Matrix sequels... but that Reloaded freeway chase is sublime. Watched that scene on its own probably over 100 times. Incredible.
Sublime, sublime, sublime!
Plus the music is one of the best chase tracks ever in cinema
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 i agree with this
Ronin has one of my favorite car chases in a movie. And don't forget Bullit! One of the most iconic car chases in all of film history!
Ronin is incredible! Bullit is great too!
Ronin is a masterpiece on multiple levels. The chases were spectacular.
@@MarcusFlemmings Seriously, how can the car chase from Bullit, the mother of all car chases, not be in here?!
@@einundsiebenziger5488 there's so many chases not here...it's a great chase for sure!
Those are my top two of all time, with Ronin probably just a notch above. I also love the one in Paris in the first Bourne movie.
I adore a good car chase. The Blues Brothers, The Raid 2 and The Batman had spectacular chases. I was even background on F&F6 and saw them film a chase using The Stig as a driver. That was a fun time. Its s shame they went the CGI route as the safe theft in Fast 5 is the best in the series.
Fast 5 is definitely the best in the cinema and the only one I've revisited! The Raid 2 car chase is a good one :)
Blues Brothers!!! oh man, that's easily my favorite.
Yeah its so rare to seeing great car chase from Indonesian cinema
Wait, The Stig?
uh, Bullitt? Steve McQueen doing his own driving, the amazing light jazz score by Lalo Schifrin that stops when the action really gets going, the absolute sense of speed, velocity, and big American muscle cars? The incredible style? The analogue grittiness contrasted with the sleek surfaces of the cars themselves?
Deffo up there for sure!
For Your Eyes Only is a good example of how you can do comedy without undermining or sidelining the excitement of a car chase the way Spectre does. I know ppl kind of look down on For Your Eyes Only but the car chase with the Citroen 2CV is by far one of my favourites because it makes so much of so little, nowadays movies require the insanest stakes or settings to get any sort of tension, gadgets and explosions and many many cars and whatnot. For Your Eyes Only has just one clunky sturdy little car, immediately subverting the expectations by blowing up Bond’s fancy gadgety Lotus Esprit, and putting him smack-dab in the hilly quaint countryside of Spain, chased by two cars, and the entire chase just takes every single possible scenario, obstacle, opportunity that might arise out of such a limited setting and situation. It’s great how car chases back then were like clever plot-writing, they had to figure out the obstacles and issues that arise during a chase, and the smart problem-solving of our protagonist, showing his skill and cunning. Not by just shooting a gun, not by just having a bigger fucking car or driving faster or tougher, no by being SMART.
i can't remember that chase, but do love me some Roger Moore!
“Love a drive in the country don’t you?”
I think TWINE hit a real sweet spot with the Q-Boat Thames chase. It had the set pieces (boats blasting past the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth tower, Millennium Dome, the crazy barrel roll jump), but it still felt grounded in realism (no CGI), with a slick, engaging micro-plot and thanks to David Arnold, a score that is a master-class in audio storytelling. There’s humour too, but just a couple of hints (police cars chasing a boat, the wheel clampers), that doesn’t distract from the overall sequence.
@@OFFtheCHIZANE those cops were recurring I remember, correctly?
As a huge bond fan... FYEO is in my top 5 all time greats...
And I absolutely loved that chase that you wonderfully described...
Raid 2 car chase was the most visceral experience I had in a movie theatre!
I didn't see Raid 2 in the cinema! But at home, it's a good old chase! It's shame that the film is so long and the story is so elaborate compared to the original!
Woah! Don't be throwing shade on Raid 2 😂 Good point about the correct utilisation of CGI - should be used to enhance and not totally create unrealistic situations, unless the film is intentionally OTT. To be fair, the 2 Fast franchise 'jumped the submarine' several films back. With the incredible evolution of AI, we will no doubt see an even greater move towards badly constructed chase scenes (Subscribed)
@@simonmcguire4290 thanks for the sub! And The Raid is better then Raid 2! 😀
Also a rare awesome sequel
I was baffled by how extremely different The Raid was from The Raid 2
Even the world-building was cranked up to 11 in The Raid 2. There's a Hammer Girl, Baseball Man & Karambit Man? I get that it's a natural progression for Rama to learn more about the criminal underworld... but wow the shift from a single apartment complex to basically organizations with potential for city-wide influence got me good.
I love both Raids, but Raid 1 still feels more like a "solid" complete film, overall
Extraction 1 Chase scene is the most memorable to me. The decision to make the whole sequence look like it's just one shot was genius
It's a nice scene! It didn't come to mind...probably because I know how much CG is used in that scene. But it's a nice scene none-the-less!
What do you think about the car chase scene in the second film?
@@ajinurfajri1952 I haven't watched it yet. The first film is one of my favorite action movies, I hope the second one is as good
@@ajinurfajri1952 In F&F?
@@christaincarvalho the second film just leveled up from the 1st movies one take
Tomorrow Never Dies might have the best car chase in recent Bond history. It just sparks joy to see James using his new RC supercar like a kid in Christmas.
Hhahaha! Old school!
Have to agree - his face when he drives over the caltrops but then makes the tires re-inflate is joyous.
Also the tank chase in Goldeneye is fantastic and manages to make an absolutely ridiculous concept believable and tense
The handcuffed motorcycle chase is probably my favorite in all of Bond - very imaginative and fun. But I do love how hard David Arnold's score goes during the RC scene - Backseat Driver.
@@matman000000 pride of the white star liners. The tank chase went over the top in a not over the top way. It was perfect
Gotta mention of H.B. Halicki’s Gone in 60 seconds. Arguably one of the most raw and real car chases in film history, since it was practically all filmed without the correct permits on public roads with regular people as extras. as well as being one of the longest chases in film history
Never seen it, but many mentioned it :) love the comment! Stick around!
Some other great chases are Mission Impossible Rogue Nation (car chase and bike chase), Mission impossible Fallout (bike chase), Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning, Jack Reacher (first movie), and Quantum of Solace's opening.
Big Tom Cruise fan?
Was gonna mention Rogue Nation too. The bike scene is really good
@@MarcusFlemmingsFan or not. Those scenes mentioned by @aparkc were top notch, filmed without CGi and were one hell of an experience in the theaters
Jack Reacher had a terrible car chase. It was poorly filmed, the character motivations were off, there weren't any epic or memorable stunts or beats, and the streets were empty except for the cars in the chase.
"Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" "The Junkman" "Vanishing Point " "The Diver". Some of my favorites that get depressingly overlooked.
Not seen the first 3! Good shout!
"The Driver" from 1978. Not The Diver... Lol.
@@douglascarter2078 Hhahaha! I thought you meant that :)
I would like to add Speed Racer. Purely CG made, but great within the context of the movie. IMHO, the final race was absolutely superb in various aspects.
It's not a bad film - but it's hard to get past it's cheesiness (which is done on purpose)!
That final race with the flashbacks to different quotes brings me to tears every damn time, an incredible movie imo for sure
@@gazza8340 felt the same way man, so good
Ugh, no, it's fuck-ugly.
Speed Racer is one of the few films I'd be willing to call a "Live Action Cartoon." Only others I've seen I'd be willing to call that is the 1994 Flintstones movie and maybe the Early 2000's Scooby Doo films.
I saw clips from the car chase in Ronin (a personal fave of mine), and I was reminded of what Johnathan Pryce said of it.
“People say I looked terrified in that scene. I was. I was holding on for dear life.”
And that’s another element that’s needed. Put the performer in the actual vehicle, obviously safely but in a way that makes the moment real. Stone faced driving makes me nervous, as though the person had a death wish and I’m trapped. I feel better if the driver or rider on screen is tense or scared a bit.
And yes, the Matrix does have the best car chase ever. And Mad Max Fury Road has a special place for me as I saw it in the theatre and I could tell immediately what I saw on screen was actually what was filmed. Practical effects almost always triumph.
Love this comment! The Jonathan Pryce line is something i didn't know! He looks SO scared 😂 - that whole film is incredible!
Almost every single shot in Fury Road is an effects shot.
The exceptions are almost all interior shots.
You are praising actual filming while talking about a film that's almost always showing you something that wasn't filmed and wasn't practical effects.
Which just proves that people have no idea what they are talking about. "Practical effects" is now just how people say "good effects" and "CGI" is just how people say "bed effects".
At least you picked a film where the vehicles usually at least existed, even if the terrain, sky, explosions and dusk were generated in a computer, and the vehicles supposedly driving next to each other were actually filmed completely separately, and the actors filmed separately from everything else.
@@HALLish-jl5mo Thanks for this! Not sure what you mean though...? If you're talking about the part in the video where I say Fury Road came out the same year and put the other chase to shame....? Then I can discuss that more...
@@MarcusFlemmings I'm not addressing anything you said, I'm addressing the comment above which talked about how they could tell that everything was "actually filmed" when it wasn't all "actually filmed" and in reality they don't know what they are talking about.
@@HALLish-jl5mo no need for nastiness. I can be corrected without being told I am an ignoramus.
I can't leave this thread empty of any mention of the chase scene on the speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi. That was just so much fun. And Terminator 3, too, with the construction crane.
They are both great scenes! I shan't deny!
I was going to say the French Connection’s chase is one of the very best, and was delighted to see you mention it immediately!
I love the final chase scenes in Deathproof! I was on the edge of my seat when Zoe Bell's character is on the hood of the challenger while Stuntman Mike tries to knock her off by slamming their car repeatedly! So intense!
Love that film and that scene!
@MarcusFlemmings Also the fact that all of these scenes were done with practical effects made them way more insane!
@@jessecritchfield6792 YES!! So epic!
Tarantino based this off Mad Max car chases. He was the biggest fan ever.
The Fast and Furious Franchise has become a cartoon show.
Yeah, a bad cartoon!
The irony is that there are cartoon with pretty good car chases, like the one in Gunsmith Cats.
Great example of good and bad car chases. These days, the Fast and Furious installments resembles a Looney Toons Cartoon more than an action movie. The Matrix reloaded was not nearly as good as the first movie, but that incredible freeway chase helps me forgive many of its shortcomings.
pAHAHA! Agreed re: looney tunes!! And yes, The Matrix 2 isn't as good as the original...not many films are...but it has was great action set pieces!
Looney tunes cartoons are awesome. fast and furious movies are not.
The penguin and Batman chase from the “The Batman” was one of the if not the bast car chase scene I’ve watched
It's a good chase, a bit too dark and murky at time -- thanks for the comment! Stick around!
To me, it's about editing and the shots the editor has to work with. Having fast cuts is a double edges sword and could be effective if done right. Like Mad Max, or even before that, car chases in The Bourne Trilogy.
Deffo! But also it has to be shot well! If, like in F9, it's just CGI for 95% of the shot it will never sell to the human eyes. Fab comment! Stick around!
Mission impossible 5 bike chase was NUTS!
I still remember the RC car chasing Harry Callahan around the streets of San Francisco in The Deadpool. I loved that movie. I loved that scene.
Being a car guy, what I hate most about car chase scenes in some movies is the protagonist having a fast powerful car and the regular cop cars or antagonist's regular car keeping up with him. That just wouldn't happen. Once you floor it, you would lose them and see ya later.
Good shout! But would be a pretty boring chase!
A fantastic chase rarely talked about is the beginning of Beverly Hills Cop 1. That semi does some scary stuff.
0:51 The best car chase scene in this video.
Totally agree! Could watch it over and over again! Big love for the comment!
Yesterday, I noticed Ronin was on Prime and watched it once again. Such a good movie. From McGuffin to acting to car chases, story. Almost 30 years old yet still feels so fresh.
Incredible film!
4:55 Man that cut to the Mad Max chase scene gave me goosebumps dude.
Huge love!! Thanks for this :)
Honestly, peak car chases are from The Blues Brothers. If you ever want to do a follow-up on this video, it could be interesting to look at that film :)
I've never seen that film - but it's been mentioned a few times. I'll give it a watch! Thanks for the comment!
@@MarcusFlemmingsyou dare to make a video about car chases without having seen Blues Brothers. You just disqualified yourself.
@@rictusmetallicus I KNOW! I feel I bad! One day I'll watch it!
The car and train chase is something I experienced in DRIVER 2 from ps1. it's cool to know where it got it's inspiration
3:00 I think the main issue with the Bond chase is that it seems clearly intended for product placement. You're not meant to look at the action, you're meant to look at the car. The shots are long and clear; at low speeds. You're meant to drool over the Aston Martin that 3% of the world could afford to buy.
Three of the best that come to mind in no particular order... Bullitt, The Spy Who Loved Me, Death Proof
The original Gone in Sixty Seconds car chase was epic 🤘 Great video Marcus, thank you .
Do you know what, I've not seen that one! Might have to check it out :) big love as always!
@@MarcusFlemmings The original Gone is 60 Seconds has the longest car chase in movie history at 40 minutes AND they destroyed 93 cars in the process (and you see the car wreck footage). Plus they had a really tight budget and didn’t have the proper permits so it was all filmed on Sundays (when offices of bureaucrats were closed) and it was a *ONE TAKE* and that’s a wrap kind of situation. It’s pretty impressive from a logistical point of view and part of cinematic history IMO….definitely give it a looksy Marcus. 🩵
@@GreatGreebo so many films to watch! ARGGGGH! Paahaha! I've seen the remake where Angelina has dreads, does that count?!
The chase in Ronin is epic and so insanely tight. The theater disappeared and you were there in the cars and the streets of Paris(?).
Second best thing is the line “I ambushed you with a coffee mug”.
Another great, visceral car chase was in To Live And Die In L.A.!
I need to see this film!!!
A few of my favourites: Bullit (1968)
Driver (1978)
We Own the Night (2007)
Vanishing Point (1971)
Thelma and Louise (1991) - though it has some of that 90's cheese.
Haha! Nothing wrong with some cheese! Thanks for the comment! Stick around!
The Batman car chase scene were also iconic too
I want to give a shoutout to the Dukes of Hazzard movie from 2005. The second half of the movie was essentially just one long interconnected car chase, and it was amazing.
what about the Blues Brothers? one of the most classic car chases
Never seen it :(
I've figured out the F&F franchise progression. It's literally GTA V online. The moment submersible cars and jet bikes with missile launchers arrived, it all went to hell.
You gotta watch some older car chase movies. You can't talk about bad car chases vs good car chases and not show The Blues Brothers, Smokey and the Bandit, Gone in 60 Seconds, Vanishing Point, Death Proof, To Live & Die in LA, etc.
Well The French Connection came out before any of those films :) and I talk about that scene as a good example. I've seen all the films you mentioned, bar To Live and Die in LA - as it's not available anywhere. Thanks for the comment!
@@MarcusFlemmings The Blues Brothers would be a great example of how comedy and high stakes/high octane chase scenes can be done successfully.
@@TrippingHawk Not seen it! But many have mentioned it - I have no doubt it's good :)
blues brothers was incredible for a lot of reasons. their car chases broke records that still havent been beaten.
@@IIIDemon These Blues Brothers shout outs are amazing! I need to watch.
Some of my favorites that are not mentioned in the video are Drive, Nobody, Tokyo Drift 1st race, Mad Max, Gone in 60 seconds Eleanor chase, Taxi, Bullitt, The Batman. I love great car sounds and intense scenes
7:43 Thank you!
Matrix Reloaded is best action film ever!
Wow! BIG statement! I think Matrix 1 is a better action film than 2, but 2 had the better stand out sequeneces! With a worse story :)
After seeing the Spectre car 'chase' scene I went back and watched the opening car chase scene to Quantum Solace and it's night and day.
The editing is clunky with too many cuts, but it's fast, feels real, we see Bond who, like you said, is a calm and cool character actually looking like he's in trouble, no reality bending gadgets, just guns, driving ability and also luck, the environment in a narrow tunnel with traffic & police being both a benefit and also a hindrance.
Spectre is a bad film, so is the most recent one...Casino Royale and Skyfall remain the only two good Bond films on Craig's record! Thanks for the comment! Stick around!
2:32 The car chase in The French Connection was filmed which no permits. The chase is as realistic as you can get because the chase was real.
No "taxi' car chases ? Disappointed!
When the two 500E's chase the 406 at the end.. That's one of the best chase scenes ever made. The car sounds, the music and the intensity is peak
I used to write action stories and always tried to make the action as over-the-top as possible, but still somewhat believable. That scene from F9 with the car flying around like it was Spider-Man was too absurd even for me. Didn't believe a second of it. The only thing missing was a laugh track. I guess the problem with long-running action series is that they always have to try and top what came before, and the first casualty is usually realism.
The Matrix sequels get a bad rap but the freeway chase is PERFECTION. I don't care what anyone says. Opinions matter not here. This is fact
Totally agree! And the fight just before it!
That may be, but the rest of the film is rubbish. The third managing to be even worse than the second.
@@loganmedia4401 I loved all three movies. The Matrix trilogy is in my all time top ten trilogy.
Going back to the classic film Drive from 2011, that was a visceral car chase/movie. It was beautiful
It is visceral for sure! Not many chases but it has some good ones!
LMAO that scene from Austin Powers will forever be hilarious
I love it! I can't deny.
There’s something about the sound of a revving car engine that just makes the whole experience visceral. One recent one I can think of is the chase from The Batman. That was so epic. Not much of a chase compared to other sequences from other films but the feeling a regular looking car that’s pimped up just enough to make it believable and unbelievable sound design just made the whole scene feel so awesome and visceral.
I loved the opening scene in Baby Driver.
Thank you for giving the car chase from Matrix Reloaded the credit it deserves. I agree that it's the best one there is. I saw it in the cinema when it was first released and it was mind-blowing, despite the rest of the film being a bit of a snooze.
Yes, I saw it in the cinema when it first came out too and it was mindblowing! Still is, to this day! Great comment! Do stick around!
Baby Driver introductory scene was sublime
Great video, i love the chase in The Matrix Reloaded but over the years have felt that the chase in Bad Boys 2 (both out in the same year) edges it slightly, just more visceral and overall carnage galore.
Thanks for the kind words! For me, that Bad Boys 2 chase is good! But the Matrix beats it, for all the reasons I mentioned in the video. But it doesn't mean that the Bad Boys 2 chase isn't still stellar :)
Not gone lie Bad Boys 2 and Terminator 3 have some of most underrated car chases of all time
Agreed with Bad Boys 2!
Excellent analysis! Love the 'fast food film-making' comment. When you said visceral car chase, I immediately thought of Nick Fury vs the Hydra agents posing as cops in Captain America: Winter Soldier.
Winter Soldier does have a great chase! Love the comment! Stick around!
Love car chases? Try Duel, its an hour movie that is all about a car being chased
The French Connection chase inspired The Puerto Rican Connection mission in GTA 4, where Niko tracks a subway to kill a target once they reach their destination in a very similar fashion to the movie
Why didn’t the 2014 Need For Speed Movie get a mention in this video. That had great car chase scenes and the stunts were all practical and realistic. Even though it didn’t make a profit like the Fast & Furious films and its now 10 years old
I remember when they built that stretch of road for the Matrix Reloaded. The truck driver in that scene was played by Stoney Burke, a guy who used to do performance art on Cal campus. You can find videos of him on youtube. Also, it's pronounced "Al-ah-mee-da."
I've seen no mention of the To Live and Die in L.A. car chase. Truly epic! Also directed by the late great William Friedkin.
I've never seen it as it's not available anywhere! Which is very annoying to say the least :(
@@MarcusFlemmings Yes, that's so surprising especially in the age of streaming. Definitely put in your watchlist!
how did you forget the blues brothers car chase finale!
Not seen it :(
Fully agree that Spectre chase is boring. Contrast it with the car park sequence in Tomorrow Never Dies, and there’s no contest. TND gives us an innovative take on the genre, with great stunts, a slick look, and a great soundtrack.
Also the tank chase! I think from Golden Eye!
That bridge scene in F9 really had me at a loss for words. 💀
My best friend and I found ourselves laughing hysterically trying to make sense of what we witness.
I would definitely have put something in from Mission Impossible movies. The Car chase and mainly motorcycle chase from the 5th movie would be my best car chase scene, it feels so real so intense the whole time. Mission i.posible 6 and 7 also had some car chase scenes that were good, but didn't quite match the excitement of the chase from the 5th movie.
Great video! Although I want to give Fast & Furious some credit. Justin Lin who directed most of the series always tried to do MOST things practical. The safe scene in F5 is obviously the best. They got a real tank in F6 which crushed real cars. While F9 does have a lot of CG stuff, they did go on location in a jungle and most explosions are real. I can appreciate both kinds of action, grounded and over the top. Not by Justin Lin, but in F8 (the first shot in this video), they actually flipped all of those cars for real and only the submarine is CG for obvious reasons. In F10, they actually had a burning ball rollling through Rome.
Random action movies with chases I love: The Blues Brothers, The Transporter (not 3 - ruined by director Olivier Megaton who also ruined Taken 2 and 3 with shaky cam and seizure cuts), Mad Max series especially 2, Terminator 1+2, Speed from 1994, Lethal Weapon series, The Raid 2, John Wick series, Bad Boys 2, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung movies (underappreciated car stunts, not just fights), Con Air, Die Hard 4, The Rock from Michael bay, Breakdown with Kurt Russell.
It may be hard for you to watch this somewhere, but the german TV crime series "Alarm für Cobra 11" which started in 1996 and is still going with over 300 episodes, has some of the best car chases/crashes I've seen and it's just a TV show! They won several Taurus World Stunt Awards. Every episode usually has 3 action scenes, mostly with cars. In the last 28 years they've also made over 20 feature length films with a higher budget and you can see it on screen. Since 2005 or so, they've built their own freeway because closing off real freeways got too expensive. You can find some compilations on RUclips "Cobra 11 crash mix"
Wow, your user name isn't a bluff, you know your STUFF! Love this comment! I've seen most of the things you mentioned - apart from The Blues Brothers and the German TV show! Everything else is fantastic!
As for F&F....F5 is a nice little movie with some great car chases. Justin Lin is a good director. But some of the other films, it's just ridic the things they put together. But seems like ALOT people love it so I'm in the minority!
Great comment sir!
@@MarcusFlemmings If I had the choice to watch F9 or John Wick, I will always choose the latter. But I do like the ridiculousness of the last Fast movies. At least they're always creative with their ideas, every setpiece is different and they're trying something new. I don't really care about the movies themselves but the action scenes entertain. I like the cast which is better than Expendables (4) now lol.
You gotta see Blues Brothers 1980, the most expensive comedy at the time, went way over budget for all the wrecked vehicles and the first time a movie crew was allowed to shoot in downtown Chicago. Not 100 % sure but I believe it had the world record for most cars wrecked in a movie for a while. Allstar cast, timeless music, classic quotes, it works as a musical, a comedy and as an action movie. They were able to completely demolish and drive through a mall which was closing anyway. You can ignore the sequel 2000 which also has a nice huge car pile-up but you can't replace John Belushi, RIP.
Also back in the time frame (early 70's) of the French Connection there is a film called The 7-Ups'.
That film has a car chase that is ever bit as good as The French Connection.
What I want out of a car chase scene is something visceral, tension filled, real sense of danger, and real sense of speed. That's why to me Ronin, The Bourne Supremacy, The French Connection, the Mad Max films, and The Raid 2 have some of the best car chase scenes I have ever seen.
Yeah, agreed here! I can't even disagree - great comment! Stick around!
The ronin e34.. awesome chase. So glad you included it.
0:42 c’mon, that scene is awesome 😂
6:12 and it abides by the laws of physics, 6:15 car doesn't gate damage.
I totally agree with your point, i would had add as others have stated Baby Driver, Bullit and even Tarantino's "Death Proof"
Practical effects and good filmmakers makes all the difference in the world!
Huge love for the comment! Great choices - thanks for this and please do subscribe!
Taxi 2 Paris chase, comedy film pretty much all around but i can say that shots of driving in crowd or through main road, car squezzing through traffic is something i had stuck in my head.
Fun fact the French connection, at the beginning of the clip theres a white car that hits him, thats a real civilian car, they didnt have any license so that was a real genuine car crash
This is feels like one of those documentaries that they would show in schools in the early 90s
It is!
Not a movie, but the bike chase in the tv show Barry (season 3) is one of the most intense chase scenes I've seen lately. The sound design is insane. If you haven't seen it, watch it on RUclips, you won't regret it.
I've seen it :) it's really really good! Would have maybe added if it was in a film :) there's a great fight scene too in season 1!
@@MarcusFlemmingsBarry is one of my favorite shows, I'm so glad to see you watched it. Oh, I also watched your video on the avalanche scene in Force Majeure, it was really good. Fun fact : the movie is titled "Snow Therapy" in French, my native language. I find it really funny that we're using an English title, while English speakers are using a French title for the movie.
@Kanashimimo that film has so many titles! 😂
I love car chases in movies and I looooove a good car chase. One car chase that I will never get tired of and I'm really sad it doesn't get mentioned a lot, is Taxi 2004 with Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon...there were multiple scenes between Belle and the burglars that were tastefully done and create such a sense of danger. I remember watching it when I was 8yrs old and to date that is my favourite movie ever
Another good one I'd add is the one from The Batman
It's a good one...many have mentioned it! But it's a bit messy!
I think the chase between Batman and Penguin in the new Batman movie is great, that whole movie perfectly embodies the mood and theme of Gotham
I still considered the car chase scene in Moscow from Bourne Supremacy is one of my most favorite car chase scene of all time. Honorable mention, most car chase scene from Jackie Chan's films from 90s are the most entertain and perfectly blend with humor and great stunt work very well.
I actually prefer the chase in Identity...maybe! It's a tough call!
That shot of Keanu Reeves talking about the drivers for the scene. Cracks me up 😂😂😂
5:00 generally though, I think it's unfair to compare anything to the masterpiece that "Mad Max: Fury Road" was.
I remember watching James Bond chase scene, it was too bored that I fell asleep and waking up seeing bond get capture by Colonel Landa.
Great video, props. Always wanted to see a video like this. Similar to what makes a good fight scene.
There's a volume 2 as well :)
The Raid 2 car chase is still one of my favourites ever to this day. We get hand to hand ma action going on and gunfights along the way. The way they shot some of the action portion is crazy. Some crew had to dressed as the car front seat to pass the camera outside to the back of the car and having a crew hidden below the side of the backdoor to receive the previous camera and hold the camera outside for the remaining shot. Id also like to mention they did this all in a actual road in Indonesia that knowns for its heavy traffic jam
Video about The Raid 2 coming up soon!
The best car chase I saw recently was in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning. The way the whole thing morphs from Tom Cruise on a motorbike chasing a car to two people handcuffed together in a completely different third car escaping an armoured car through Rome.
Not sure it counts as a "chase", but both of the races in Redline are crazy bonkers insane.
Huge love for the comment! And that whole Mission Impossible film is brilliant - one of my faves!
Mad Max Fury road was one of the best action movie i've ever seen, everything from great scores to minimal dialogue to intense car chasing scene.....everything was perfect.
I know its not technically a chase but Speed is certainly a good movie that is basically 90min of similar action. But what made the first one great is why we do not talk about its sequel, there is no audience investment to a cruise ship, while the bus was bound to the roads of the LA freeways or surface streets as well as whatever assistance could be gotten to a bus going 50mph.
Good movie car chases (and races, for that matter) carried all throughout the original 4 The Fast and the Furious movies. Once Fast Five hit, such things as good care chases went out the window.
I do love F5 though! Thanks for the comment!
@@MarcusFlemmings F&F 5 and 7 were GREAT films. But, they don’t hold up with the true feel of what made F&F movies what they were. I’m so excited they say the final film is going back to its racing roots.
@@ImaginaryNate We can only hope!!!
Surprised Baby Driver wasn't mentioned considering how heavily tied to car chases that movie is and how well it does them
The Raid 2 has an incredible sequence that is a car chase, shootout and hand to hand fight all in one. they even have a camera operator disguised as a fucking seat so they can move the cam out of a car and into another one without cutting or cgi
It does....agreed! Nice film too! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
My issue with the Matrix scenes though, is none of the Semi-trailers have axles. I noticed that in the theater and it took me completely out of the disbelief.
Glad people are finally admitting that the chase scene in Reloaded is good.
Terminator 3 is a pretty average film, but that car chase at the end of the 1st Act is pretty dang awesome. No music through most of it, lots of practical effects/destruction, clearly communicated geography throughout, and an interesting mix of vehicles. For a movie that was mostly disappointing, I still remember that chase sequence very vividly.
I need to watch it again!
I'm not a car chase scene expert but one of the best car chase scenes ever is from an 80's comedy movie called "Short Time" staring Dabney Coleman. I've watched that movie several times just for that scene.
I need to check this out!
