Are you sending out cards this year?
And something a bit off topic, but fun....
What is your favorite movie chase scene (preferably pre-CGI) - car or foot?
What is your favorite movie chase scene (preferably pre-CGI) - car or foot?
You left out horseback.....
I don’t remember the movie title, but in one of John Wayne’s early “B” movies, there’s a chase scene (wasn’t there always?) where the camera zooms out to a panoramic shot, and the audience can see the high tension electrical wires in the background.
Also, the scene in “McLintock!” where John Wayne chases Maureen O’Hara through the town, finally catching her and administering a spanking with an ash shovel.
>What is your favorite movie chase scene (preferably pre-CGI) - car or foot?<
Steve McQueen - Bullitt
close 2nd Ryan O’Neil - The Driver
Yeah, screw all that CGI fake crap.
Bullitt!
Wallace and Gromit in "The Wrong Trousers"... Chasing the evil penguin on the train tracks.
Hands down. Steve McQueen's car chase in Bullit
Ryan O'Neil - What's Up Doc? (Sorry, includes Babs Streisand but is a *funny* movie)
Elwood: This is definitely Lower Wacker Drive! If my estimations are correct, we should be very close to the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza!
Jake: That's where they got that Picasso.
Elwood: Yep.
(the original, not the cheesy sequels)
The whole movie was a chase scene.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original version) where leather face is chasing the chick out in the yard and then hangs her up.
The low speed chase of the guy in the wheelchair.
A little old lady is pulled over
Older Woman: what is the problem officer?
Officer: Ma’am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I’d give it to you but I don’t have one.
Officer: Don’t have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can’t do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma’am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma’am, one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.
Without a doubt, the car chase scene flowing form the masquerade ball in The Pink Panther.
