BS CGI stuff. Make a chase scene like Bullitt or the French Connection and I’ll watch.

Or Ronin.

I imagine the set consisting of cars on bouncy platforms in front of green screens.

Don't forget the big finale in "The Blues Brothers." Lotsa mid-70s Mopars got piled up in that one.

The Bullitt chase is funny, if you watch it closely. You keep seeing the same two cars driving by veeeerrrry slooooooowwly. A VW Bug and a Pontiac.

Agreed. I cannot watch a movie with that crap. Could not watch Sin City or 300.

Make and film it real of get ignored.

I believe ALL of the car stunts and action sequences in The Need for Speed were all done live and in camera. In the "Special Features" section of the Blu-ray movie both the director and Steven Spielberg specifically said they did it this way for real because they wanted to get away from all of the phony CGI stuff found in the Fast and Furious franchise. Both cited Bullet and said that nothing looks as good on film as real cars doing the actual stunts.

They go to great lengths in the Special Features section to show how they coreographed and filmed each of the action stunt scenes... part of the reason the film cost so much to produce.
