Great car chase scene!

[370Z/28]

It has been a while since I have seen a movie with a really great car chase scene in it. Last night I had Neflixed The Last Stand with Arnold Schwarzenegger. At the end there was a chase scene of him and the bad guy driving a ZL1 Camaro and a ZR1 Corvette through a cornfield. It was awesome. Movie was pretty good too!



Anybody else with some good car chase scenes?

Ronin and Gone in 60 secs.

and of course Indiana Jones on horse and motorcycle...

Ronin was great throughout, not just the car chase.

I really liked the first Indiana Jones movie. The subsequent ones weren't as good and the last one was a waste of time. The first one reminded me of serials that played on TV on Saturday afternoons during the 1950s. (Yes, I am that old.) The Nazi aircraft with the turned down wing tips came straight out of those serials. At the end of each episode in a serial, it would look like the hero was going to die at the hands of the bad guy. The beginning of the next episode showed how he escaped. Since the serials were made during or just after World War 2, many of them involved some sort of Japanese or Nazi secret weapon.

As an historical note, during WW2 there was an experimental propeller driven "flying wing" aircraft similar to today's B2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_YB-35#XB-35). File footage of it in the air was used in one serial where it was the enemy's secret flying base. Jack Northrop, founder of the aircraft company that bears his name, was the champion of the flying wing. Shortly before his death, someone with compassion and respect for Northrop's genius wangled security clearance for the old man to see plans and scale models of the B2.

It was so funny when that guy came back and saw his Camaro. Ole Arnold just said " you shouldn't have parked it in a fire lane ".

Gotta love Arnold.

The Last Stand was entertaining but I found the chase scene just a tad bit over the top. Hell, the Corvette would have blown up with the way it was being driven way before the chase scene

I thought you were going to say that the ears of corn looked too big. That is what I thought was fakey looking.

lol he was pushing that vette to the limit and with FI, the fact that the cars actually got messed up and wasnt perfectly shining after the chases keep it believable enough for me.

If I remember correctly, they used 7 Challengers in the movie Vanishing Point. You could almost count when they put a new one in. Of course, the car at the end was a Camaro. Never figured that one out.
