I've been off for the past couple of days, and I've been watching a bunch of DVDs. A couple of these featured some really good chase scenes, which got me trying to decide on my top 10 favorite ones. So here they are.
10. Striking Distance - Honestly the only reason this one made the list is because I get a huge kick out of watching the light bars bouncing around on the tops of the cop cars as they go bounding down the road.
9. The Transporter - A movie about a professional "wheel man." I'm going to go out on a limb and say there were some good scenes in this one.
8. The Italian Job - Three words: Minis, minis, minis.
7. The Bourne Identity - A movie for anyone that's wanted to careen down the narrow streets of a small European village...and has.
6.Return of the Jedi - Who didn't want a speederbike when they saw that movie?
5. The Rock - A movie for anyone that's wanted to drive a Mercedes through a plate glass window...and then derail a street car.
4. Ronin - Driving on the wrong side of the road for fun and profit.
3. Bad Boys II - High end sports car + (A car transporting semi x Villainous Haitians) = Fun for the whole family.
2. Matrix Reloaded - This one probably scored so high because of the fight scenes that are interspersed throughout the chase. I loved the in-car fighting between Morpheus, Trinity and one of Albinos. Of course, ending the scene with two semis slamming into each other at full speed didn't hurt either.
1. Batman Begins - A car chase on rooftops. Does it get any better than this? No. It doesn't.
