Motion Pictures favorite car movie SCENES

we had a great thread with movie lines; whats your favorite scene, lines or no lines?
and to be first off the line so to speak...
out of the whole chase from Bullitt; the point where Frank pulls in BEHIND the bad guys who've been tailing him. you KNOW that from that point on its ON baby....

and a lesser known flick: Sorcerer, about a group of guys driving trucks loaded with nitro across some jungle. there's a river crossing scene in a thunderstorm where one of the drivers is guiding the other across a POS rope/board bridge... tense...

and Bert Munro laughing his *** off at the end of his Bonneville run even though he's trashed the bike and burned the **** out of his leg.

 

Drive-in scene from Two Lane Blacktop; "make it three yards, mother****er, and you got yourself an automobile race", or somethin' like that.

 

how many of these threads are there?

 

Yea, it's been talked about before and this might not be my favorite, but I think it's worth watching.
Nuther favorite (kinda off topic) is the start of Easyrider with the close up of the bikes. Works best on the big screen of a movie theater.

The drag race scene in American Graffitti

 

The movie Sorcerer was a complete surprise the first time I saw it. Few people have heard of it but it was one of those "the right place, right time" deals.
I remember the music from that movie was outstanding, it was a very good match for that picture.

 

I was about to contribute when I remembered...IT"S TECH WEEK...or does that end today?

 

when Milner races Falfa in American Grafitti

 

probably half a dozen too many at least

 

can't have to much of a good thing

 

MAN!!! I SO remember that scene from "Socerer" with roy schieder...

HOLY **** that was intense! No one seems to have seen that flick though. That movie is really well done, incredible acting, the effects on that bridge are mind boggling for the day, I cant see how they did that ON PURPOSE.

As for favorite car movie stuff....hmmm...

The original "gone is 60 seconds" is up there, and the scene where christine is slammin homeboys car into the garage over and over again...

some good stuff from "the wraith"

but some of the jumps from the newer Dukes of hazzrd movie were up there too...and then there is the original "Italian job", and "Le mans"

Hard to have a favorite...

Cheers and beers

LeMans, watching McQueen drive. You could tell he was a racer the way he looked in the mirror. Very cool stuff.

 

in the movie The Car, where the car has a cop pinned at the edge of a cliff and the cop tries to get out of his car but the car closes the door on him and pushes him off the cliff. that probly made no sense but if you've seen the movie you know what im talking about.

 

when milner backs the coupe out of the garage just after he uncorked the headers.

 

Otter making out with Shelly in the back seat in front of the Dexter Lake Club.

 

The opening scene in the new Indiana Jones movie, isnt that bad either.
Lars

 

the part in vanishing point where the cops move the road block thinking its a cop car coming through only to see the dodge flash past with a minibike strapped to the roof with its lights flashing......great movie........Bert

 

one of my favs

The sequence in thunderbolt and lightfoot where jeff bridges takes out the guy in the corn field in a trans am, then proceeds to resue Clint eastwood, and the rest of the movie after that.................

here is a favourite scene from another popular movie

 

in christine, arnie says "show me" and the car startsto repair its self. wish i could do that with my car.

 

- the scene in Christine when she puts herself back together after getting trashed....the music is playing, it's almost ****** OR when she is rolling down the road at night, on fire, with the headlights on
-the scene in American Graffiti where the cop car goes tearing out only to have the rear end ripped out from under it
-the car chase from Blues Brothers.....how many cop cars did they use on that movie???
-

 

yeah i been watchin this a bit all week on dvd, its real cool but in the in end a hotrod is destroyed but the hotrod saves the world from the gilla monster, i love the gilla monster, the sound effects and music and ofcourse the cars, this is a real cool low buck hotrod horror flick.
