"Duel" - an old Steven Spielberg flick... the whole thing is basically just one long chase scene, so to speak 😁

Die Hard 4.0? You've got a truck dragging Mel Gibson along while he's basically surfing on some plastic wrap. It's just ridiculous...

That scene in "Reverend Ted"—where Dougal’s milk truck loses its brakes—is just too damn good... pure cinema.🙏

That scene you're thinking of... 😁

"Bullitt" is basically the godfather of the modern car chase
Then you've got "To Live and Die in L.A." (1985)—that was William Friedkin trying to outdo his own work on "The French Connection"
And of course, there's "Mad Max" 1 and 2
Or take "Terminator 2"—you’ve got that kid on the motorcycle, being hunted down by Edward Patrick in a truck, all while Arnold Schwarzenegger is hot on their heels...
If you ask me, a chase only counts if they're using actual cars and real stunt performers—once you start throwing in CGI, the whole thing just loses its soul.

That camera work in Taxi 1? It does a hell of a job capturing that sense of raw speed. It’s visceral. Honestly, Mad Max 2 hits that same high note—just pure, kinetic energy.

How long did that chase sequence actually last?
About 45 minutes?
