I always liked the two big chase scenes from McQ with John Wayne. What cracks me up though is that in the one scene where he is chasing the Laundry Truck in the Firebird, the little shortcut he used to get ahead on I-5, the two exits don't exist anymore on that section of I-5 thru Seattle!
Posted by cr400 Dirty Mary and crazy Larry. And how about the original Gone in Sixty Seconds.
I forgot about those movies.

This may sound dorky, but how about Smokey and the Bandit?
Not dorky to me. It's one of my all time favorites. I put the "East bound and down" video in my first post because it's some what of a compilation. There are so many chase scenes in that flic that it's almost impossible to show them all.

Posted by cr400 I remember a stock car movie from the 70's, about a shine runner/dirt tracker going pro nascar, cant remember the name.
Possibly "Greased Lightning", made in '77 and starring Richard Pryor? I tried to find videos of it the other night, but there doesn't seem to be any online.
Posted by cr400 cannonball run......had some good stuff in it.
I love me some Cannonball Run. I own the DVD.
Posted by cr400 You guy's might be to young for this............Look up Robert Mitchum in Thunder Road. Early 50's hot rod, shine runnin'. Great old hot rod flick!!
I remember Thunder Road and started to post it on here. However, after watching it again, the driving scenes were so corny (fake backgrounds, etc.) that I couldn't bring myself to post it. Still a great movie and the driving scenes taken from outside the car were awesome. The scenes from inside the vehicle are really bad though.

I haven't seen Thunder Road in 25yrs or more.........Even the original star wars seems corny to me now.......Why would thunder road be any diff, I think I must remember the sound of that old ford?
I don't remember Richard pryor being in my old dirt tracker movie? I wanna say Robert Redford???? Gary Busy??? I don't remember it being a comedy.
How about Stroker Ace?
