Xingu Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 While not technically a chase scene, there was a video out (I saw it in the early 90's) called "The Rendezvous". This guy strapped a camera to his Ferrari and went blasting through Paris early in the morning. Pretty awesome video, missed shifts and all.

This guy strapped a camera to his Ferrari and went blasting through Paris early in the morning. Pretty awesome video, missed shifts and all. This is a famous, short "cinema-verite" film by French Director Claude Lelouch, it's full title is C'etait un rendez-vous... It was in fact filmed using a Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9, with the sound of the director's Ferrari 275 GTB added later... There's good info on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C'était_un_rendez-vous And here's the video itself: Making of video:

It loses a bit of it's luster, now that I know it wasn't actually a Ferrari that had to hop the curb and drive down the sidewalk. I remember thinking how intense it was when I first saw it.

Rob Hall Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Ya orl RONG! That must have been the inspiration for some of the chases in the modern 'Mission Impossible' movies... LoL..
PowerPlant Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) I couldn't find a trailer with English subs, but no matter... This is a Serbian film called "The Belgrade Phantom", and it's based on true events dating from late summer of 1979, when a bored young man stole a white Porsche 911, belonging to a famous tennis player - one of few such cars in socialist Yugoslavia at the time, only to appear on the streets late at night and taunt the police with his driving... He even started announcing his appearances, anonymously calling them in over the radio, soon becoming a hero among masses who nicknamed him the "Phantom" and started gathering on the sidewalks to cheer him on during his "performances"... Needless to say, he wasn't quite as popular with the authorities, and the police, which seemed largely helpless in even slowing him down, let alone catching him in their patrol cars, had to come up with something fast, before president Tito returned from his visit to Cuba and found this "rebel" mocking his entire regime Edited February 10, 2017 by PowerPlant

StevenGuthmiller Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 While I would probably say the scene in Bullit or one of several scenes in Mad Max as being my favorites, the chase scene between the '58 Plymouth & the Camaro in Christine is one that sticks in my mind. steve

StevenGuthmiller Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Watch this one carefully. It's quite humorous how the car repeatedly changes throughout the chase from a '58 Plymouth 2 door coupe to a '60 Dodge 4 door sedan! Steve
DeeCee Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) DUEL, done by Spielberg, i saw this when i was about 6 years old .. WICKED.. Edited February 12, 2017 by DeeCee
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 DUEL, done by Spielberg, i saw this when i was about 6 years old .. WICKED.. I agree with that one! Basically, the entire movie is a chase scene! Steve
Dann Tier Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Definitely would be the Mini's in the original Italian Job movie!!
