They ruined car chases with over the top cringey fast and furious CGI crap

Glad you included The Driver. It has some classic car chases and when he demonstrates his driving ability by destroying the Benz is an all time classic scene.

[uprebel]

I grew up watching these chase scenes so the modern CGI ones always look fake too me.

[DanTheMailman]

When Elwood Blues removed his hat in respect for the Bluesmobile I always shed a tear.

[heavenhelpus]

The best part of the "Bullitt" chase is when the dude driving the Charger sees that Mustang in his rearview as it pops up.

[uprebel]

McQueen is also the King of motorcycle chases in The Great Escape.

[trance]

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry is my all time favorite old school car chase movies. I was crushed at the ending

[sirhands]

The last scene of dirty Mary crazy Larry. Is in the opening credits of the TV show The Fall Guy. Just a piece of useless trivia but it's true.😊😊

[JeffAllison]

Interesting that Bourne in the mini cooper performed many of the same stunts that made the original "Italian Job" movie so great. Cool car, cool stunts.

[clarencewalker]

Bill Hickman and Cary Loftin were two of the best stunt drivers in Hollywood. RIP

[skibootdier]

Dodge Charger.
Hollywood's favorite car-chase car..

[ScottyColoradoKid]

Vanishing Point....still the best...but Im biased as I was in it (was just an extra here in Denver)

[DjNikGnashers]

The Blues Brothers is (in my opinion) the best film ever made.
It has everything, amazing car chases, the best music, and great comedy.

Best car video I have seen a long time. Presentation and editing are great. Most agree that "Bullitt" is the best car chase scene but I still have to stick with the original Gone In 60 Seconds chase. That one is off the charts.

[dearbrad]

Watching this brought a tear to my eye seeing those beautiful cars being destroyed. There's not too many around and they're expensive. I can see why.

[splender]

I have always been a huge car chase fan R.I.P. Bill Hickman. I wouldn't waste one minute of my time watching a CGI chase it looks cartoonish and it ain't foolin nobody!

[martinmcc.]

A great look back on some great movies. It's amazing what stunt drivers did in those days.

[RoverIAC]

Crazy Larry switches between a 68 and 69 charger. Notice the grill center bar disappear.

[lewispaine]

Made even more impressive by the fact the cars used in these movies were heavy, had not-so-great brakes and handling, but still took a beating and kept going with skilled drivers.

[mikespain]

Notice how many of these great car chase scenes are older. Great stuff!
