Top 5: Movie Car Chases

We all love a good car chase: some great, fearless driving and lots and lots of stunts. We put our movie hats on and came up with our Top 5 chases. If you think of any more, let us know.

Smokey & The Bandit

Burt Reynolds and his mustache star as the Bandit: hounded across the US by Buford T. Justice. One of our favourite bits? When he sends the ’77 Pontiac Trans Am over a broken bridge.

The Matrix Reloaded

One of the most brilliantly insane chases of all time. The whole 17 minute chase cost nearly $40 million to shoot, is unapologetically covered in CGI, and is utterly brilliant.

The Bourne Identity

Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne has Marie in tow and causes carnage in a Mini around Paris in a chase that puts The Italian Job to shame.

Blues Brothers

John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd tear their Dodge through a busy shopping centre to escape the police. Cue brilliant one liners and plenty of destruction.

Mad Max: Fury Road

This entire film is a car chase: 2 hours of insanity. You should probably stop what what you’re doing and go watch it right now. Your boss will understand. Here’s the trailer:
