Poll For Motor Maniacs

It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Ben Blue Airline Bump!

Bullit, hands down.

All of the others were cheap imitations.

[LdSentinal]

French Connection.

Bullit is overrated.

None from the original 'The Italian Job'?

[relee]

...For comedic efforts, Blues Brothers and Raising Arizona (car, truck, foot and dog chases all wrapped together on that one) are the best...

Comedy - What's Up Doc
Action - Bullitt is the best. The Seven-Ups was good too.

[mhking]

No contest:

1. Bullitt
2. French Connection
3. Blues Brothers
4. To Live And Die In L.A.
5. The Seven-Ups

[Calvin Locke]

like William Shatner's piece on that old TV episode of The Twilight Zone.

Which one? He was in a couple....

So was Dennis Weaver. Heard him pushing his hydrogen car a year or two before his death. He credited his Twilight Zone appearances with breaking him out of the "Chester" typecast.

[dighton]

As you probably know, the common element in #s 1, 2, and 5.

[OregonRancher]

In a world long ago, Steve and a bunch of riders would
cool off with a beer underneath a tractor trailer out at the Greenhorn enduro in the mojave desert, I drank a coke. He was
my hero.

The Italian Job (original version.)

The airliner one; I think its episode title was something like "Terror at 30,000 Feet" or something like that.

[pcottraux]

Bullitt, Bourne Identity...and Batman Begins. Maybe Blues Brothers.

(notice that they all start with a B...could it mean something?)

[decimon]

(notice that they all start with a B...could it mean something?)

Berhaps.

[Billthedrill]

Yeh. Bullitt. I’ve driven some of those streets. You couldn’t pay me to do that sort of stuff even on a closed course.

[evad]

great stuff...
The BIIIIIIG "W"

[Publius6961]

No contest.

Ronin

[Poser]

Am I the only one who ever saw Vanishing Point?

[Publius6961]

Am I the only one who ever saw Vanishing Point?

Is that the one with the TR-4?

: )

[Poser]

"Is that the one with the TR-4?"

[linn37]

Gone in 60 seconds,all of it.

[decimon]

Ronin is tempting. The actors were not the cool, calm and collected types but looked more real.

[Ransomed]

Vanishing Point is a great flick—and so is the original Gone in 60 Seconds—if I recall its big chase scene was at least partly shot illegally on open public streets!
