Atomic Popcorn brings you yet another Top 10 Tuesday! This time we are bring you a list of some of the best chase scenes around. While most of us think about chase scenes involving cars, I have added a few to my list of chases without cars. While this list begs for more attention, I think i have highlighted some of the best there is, and I ask for your additions to this list.
I am aiming to have this column be something in which we can talk about and struggle with coming up with the best of the best for that Tuesday’s topic.
If you all have ideas for a top 10 list or want to see something specific send us an email at top10@atomicpopcorn.net and we will try and get it up here for you!
Without further ado – here is our Top 10 Chase Scenes. Enjoy!
10. Mad Max -What more can you say about this one, a true Gibson classic.
9. Matrix Reloaded – I can only find half of it online, but only half of it still garners a top 10 spot!
8. Gone in 60 seconds – This is the ORIGINAL baby!
7. Tranporter 3 Bike Chase – Yes I am well aware that this is on a bike and can’t possibly happen, but it’s fun as hell to watch.
6. Bullitt – Featuring Steve “badass” McQueen.
5. James Bond The Spy Who Loved Me – Skiing anyone? The Winter Olympics should be proud!
4. Enemy of the State – this still holds up as a great flick along with some great chase scenes. If you can find the full chase scene let me know -
3. Casino Royale – Madagascar in HD! Enjoy it.
2. Italian Job – chase scene -The Original !
1. Ronin – watch and have fun!
You hit the # 1 spot on the button…must say the scenes in “Taken” were good too.. Arnold in “Commando” the “Die Hard 4″ wasnt half bad and the double decker bus chase scene in “The Tournament”
And you didn't even put in Smokey and the Bandit?
How can you leave out the chase sequence in “Bad Boys 2″ (They threw a boat at your car) or “The Rock” (San Fransisco was a great location for this chase sequence)…Michael Bay knows how to choreograph a good chase sequence.
The best non car chases would have to include the scene in and around the train station in The Bourne Ultimatum as well.
And while it's not a best chase scene, the mid point chase in the football stadium in El Secreto De Sus Ojos is amazingly shot. Blew me away last night.
The only good part about Ronin was the chases…
um… The French Connection?
The Blues Brothers, Death Proof (thanks to The Rotten Tomatoes Show)
Whilst the skiing from The Spy Who Loved Me is great, the boat chase from Live and Let Die is even better.
Another vote for the Blue Brothers and French Connection as well.
