the irony of a series built on car chases, being fast and furious having the worst car chases in cinema is heavy
The irony indeed!
fast five was the last fast and furious movie to have actually good car chases
Tokyo Drift has a pretty great one at the climax of the film. The 2nd one has few nice ones too. And the 4th has a pretty good one with the blue Skyline. But yeah, there's a lot lacking.
It actually feels more like a statistical inevitability BECAUSE the entire series is built on car chases, there's so many you can't not have some of the worst ones come up
Dom in F&F1: *sees 2 police cars* 😲
Dom in F&F8: *jumps over a submarine to avoid a missle* 😐
PAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!
Accurate!
He leveled up, LMAO!
I have to keep reminding myself that the first movie featured the crew boosting VCR/DVD combos. Truly an art film compared to what it is now.
@@OgYokYok Number 1 is Citizen Kane in comparison....!
Character development
The original 1979 Mad Max car chase is absolutely one of the best - it looked dangerous because it generally was. But it’s Miller’s choice of angles that covers it is what makes it truly iconic.
It's definitely a good one for sure! Very raw and gritty!
@@MarcusFlemmings i love The Road Warrior even more than any of them
@@andyventure That's a good chase for sure!
When the cops hit the combi was amazing how the car make horizontal turns
Best ever was in Mad Max Fury Road and it is not even close. Then, MI:2 and Matrix Reloaded.
Baby Driver. Are we not going to talk about Baby Driver?
Great video!
You know what....that is a great film for car chases! I was going to a video on the opening scene in that film -- but there's been many videos about it already, so I have nothing new to say about it other than it's a great chase :) Thanks for the comment!
baby driver is just diet blues brothers
No mention of Ryan Goslin DRIVER. Oh wait, it had zero point zero car chases!!! 😂😂😂
@@kostastube2010 Nah, there was one car chase in it after the botched heist where the hot next door neighbour's husband got killed, but it wasn't very good to be quite honest.......
very very different movies mate@@TrippingHawk
I think the Nick Fury car chase in the Winter Soldier was done very well, but I guess the tension of the moment also had a part to play in that scene as well.
There's not much of a chase per se but it's a great action scene!
Raid 2 car chase was the most visceral experience I had in a movie theatre!
I didn't see Raid 2 in the cinema! But at home, it's a good old chase! It's shame that the film is so long and the story is so elaborate compared to the original!
Woah! Don't be throwing shade on Raid 2 😂 Good point about the correct utilisation of CGI - should be used to enhance and not totally create unrealistic situations, unless the film is intentionally OTT. To be fair, the 2 Fast franchise 'jumped the submarine' several films back. With the incredible evolution of AI, we will no doubt see an even greater move towards badly constructed chase scenes (Subscribed)
@@simonmcguire4290 thanks for the sub! And The Raid is better then Raid 2! 😀
Also a rare awesome sequel
Ronin has one of my favorite car chases in a movie. And don't forget Bullit! One of the most iconic car chases in all of film history!
Ronin is incredible! Bullit is great too!
Ronin is a masterpiece on multiple levels. The chases were spectacular.
@@MarcusFlemmings Seriously, how can the car chase from Bullit, the mother of all car chases, not be in here?!
@@einundsiebenziger5488 there's so many chases not here...it's a great chase for sure!
Those are my top two of all time, with Ronin probably just a notch above. I also love the one in Paris in the first Bourne movie.
I adore a good car chase. The Blues Brothers, The Raid 2 and The Batman had spectacular chases. I was even background on F&F6 and saw them film a chase using The Stig as a driver. That was a fun time. Its s shame they went the CGI route as the safe theft in Fast 5 is the best in the series.
Fast 5 is definitely the best in the cinema and the only one I've revisited! The Raid 2 car chase is a good one :)
Blues Brothers!!! oh man, that's easily my favorite.
I don't mind the Matrix sequels... but that Reloaded freeway chase is sublime. Watched that scene on its own probably over 100 times. Incredible.
Sublime, sublime, sublime!
uh, Bullitt? Steve McQueen doing his own driving, the amazing light jazz score by Lalo Schifrin that stops when the action really gets going, the absolute sense of speed, velocity, and big American muscle cars? The incredible style? The analogue grittiness contrasted with the sleek surfaces of the cars themselves?
Deffo up there for sure!
For Your Eyes Only is a good example of how you can do comedy without undermining or sidelining the excitement of a car chase the way Spectre does. I know ppl kind of look down on For Your Eyes Only but the car chase with the Citroen 2CV is by far one of my favourites because it makes so much of so little, nowadays movies require the insanest stakes or settings to get any sort of tension, gadgets and explosions and many many cars and whatnot. For Your Eyes Only has just one clunky sturdy little car, immediately subverting the expectations by blowing up Bond’s fancy gadgety Lotus Esprit, and putting him smack-dab in the hilly quaint countryside of Spain, chased by two cars, and the entire chase just takes every single possible scenario, obstacle, opportunity that might arise out of such a limited setting and situation. It’s great how car chases back then were like clever plot-writing, they had to figure out the obstacles and issues that arise during a chase, and the smart problem-solving of our protagonist, showing his skill and cunning. Not by just shooting a gun, not by just having a bigger fucking car or driving faster or tougher, no by being SMART.
i can't remember that chase, but do love me some Roger Moore!
“Love a drive in the country don’t you?”
I think TWINE hit a real sweet spot with the Q-Boat Thames chase. It had the set pieces (boats blasting past the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth tower, Millennium Dome, the crazy barrel roll jump), but it still felt grounded in realism (no CGI), with a slick, engaging micro-plot and thanks to David Arnold, a score that is a master-class in audio storytelling. There’s humour too, but just a couple of hints (police cars chasing a boat, the wheel clampers), that doesn’t distract from the overall sequence.
@@OFFtheCHIZANE those cops were recurring I remember, correctly?
As a huge bond fan... FYEO is in my top 5 all time greats...
And I absolutely loved that chase that you wonderfully described...
Extraction 1 Chase scene is the most memorable to me. The decision to make the whole sequence look like it's just one shot was genius
It's a nice scene! It didn't come to mind...probably because I know how much CG is used in that scene. But it's a nice scene none-the-less!
What do you think about the car chase scene in the second film?
@@ajinurfajri1952 I haven't watched it yet. The first film is one of my favorite action movies, I hope the second one is as good
@@ajinurfajri1952 In F&F?
@@christaincarvalho the second film just leveled up from the 1st movies one take
I can't imagine the latest Fast and Furious movies having good car chases
They dont! I can't stand them -- although Fast 5 ain't bad!
You don't watch F&F for good chases, you watch it for over the top chases. The whole point is how over the top they can get this time. Therefore if they'd done a normal chase they would maybe make some people happy, but disappoint a bunch of others.
The first one was good in my opinion. Yes, there was some bull in the final chase, but props to them for doing it for real. Just watch the second movie at the beginning. The practical stuff look really good, but the CGI parts - oh, boy. You're in for a "treat" 😂
@@vdochev I'm just not a F&F fan! F5 is as far I'll give praise!
@@MarcusFlemmings LOL, I stopped watching after Tokyo drift.
Tomorrow Never Dies might have the best car chase in recent Bond history. It just sparks joy to see James using his new RC supercar like a kid in Christmas.
Hhahaha! Old school!
Have to agree - his face when he drives over the caltrops but then makes the tires re-inflate is joyous.
Also the tank chase in Goldeneye is fantastic and manages to make an absolutely ridiculous concept believable and tense
Great example of good and bad car chases. These days, the Fast and Furious installments resembles a Looney Toons Cartoon more than an action movie. The Matrix reloaded was not nearly as good as the first movie, but that incredible freeway chase helps me forgive many of its shortcomings.
pAHAHA! Agreed re: looney tunes!! And yes, The Matrix 2 isn't as good as the original...not many films are...but it has was great action set pieces!
"Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" "The Junkman" "Vanishing Point " "The Diver". Some of my favorites that get depressingly overlooked.
Not seen the first 3! Good shout!
"The Driver" from 1978. Not The Diver... Lol.
@@douglascarter2078 Hhahaha! I thought you meant that :)
Some other great chases are Mission Impossible Rogue Nation (car chase and bike chase), Mission impossible Fallout (bike chase), Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning, Jack Reacher (first movie), and Quantum of Solace's opening.
Big Tom Cruise fan?
Was gonna mention Rogue Nation too. The bike scene is really good
I would like to add Speed Racer. Purely CG made, but great within the context of the movie. IMHO, the final race was absolutely superb in various aspects.
It's not a bad film - but it's hard to get past it's cheesiness (which is done on purpose)!
That final race with the flashbacks to different quotes brings me to tears every damn time, an incredible movie imo for sure
@@gazza8340 felt the same way man, so good
I saw clips from the car chase in Ronin (a personal fave of mine), and I was reminded of what Johnathan Pryce said of it.
“People say I looked terrified in that scene. I was. I was holding on for dear life.”
And that’s another element that’s needed. Put the performer in the actual vehicle, obviously safely but in a way that makes the moment real. Stone faced driving makes me nervous, as though the person had a death wish and I’m trapped. I feel better if the driver or rider on screen is tense or scared a bit.
And yes, the Matrix does have the best car chase ever. And Mad Max Fury Road has a special place for me as I saw it in the theatre and I could tell immediately what I saw on screen was actually what was filmed. Practical effects almost always triumph.
Love this comment! The Jonathan Pryce line is something i didn't know! He looks SO scared 😂 - that whole film is incredible!
Almost every single shot in Fury Road is an effects shot.
The exceptions are almost all interior shots.
You are praising actual filming while talking about a film that's almost always showing you something that wasn't filmed and wasn't practical effects.
Which just proves that people have no idea what they are talking about. "Practical effects" is now just how people say "good effects" and "CGI" is just how people say "bed effects".
At least you picked a film where the vehicles usually at least existed, even if the terrain, sky, explosions and dusk were generated in a computer, and the vehicles supposedly driving next to each other were actually filmed completely separately, and the actors filmed separately from everything else.
@@HALLish-jl5mo Thanks for this! Not sure what you mean though...? If you're talking about the part in the video where I say Fury Road came out the same year and put the other chase to shame....? Then I can discuss that more...
@@MarcusFlemmings I'm not addressing anything you said, I'm addressing the comment above which talked about how they could tell that everything was "actually filmed" when it wasn't all "actually filmed" and in reality they don't know what they are talking about.
@@HALLish-jl5mo no need for nastiness. I can be corrected without being told I am an ignoramus.
The Bourne movies and Baby Driver have my absolute favorite car chases in movies. I love it when movies use matching audio from the cars they're using. Its nice to see a Subaru and hear that iconic EJ Boxer sound with equal length headers. Nothing takes me out of it more than when i see a car thats supposed to be an Inline 6, and they've overdubbed a V8 in post. Even in the first Fast & Furious chase scene, Brians green Eclipse does not have the sound of a 4G63.
WOW! Amazing comment! Stick around!
Fun video 👌
I was hoping you’d spend just a little longer on the Ronin car chase, which to me is world-class. That was probably the one car chase that had me literally on the edge of my seat for the whole time!
Sorry, I'll do a separate video just for that chase!
@@MarcusFlemmings Hey, no need to be sorry at all 😉☺️
I can't leave this thread empty of any mention of the chase scene on the speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi. That was just so much fun. And Terminator 3, too, with the construction crane.
They are both great scenes! I shan't deny!
One really good example of a well constructed and incredibly surprising car chase is the one in Nightcrawler. It's brief, visceral and perfectly edited.
Love this shout! I can't remember it tbh! But i'm sure it's fab!
I love the final chase scenes in Deathproof! I was on the edge of my seat when Zoe Bell's character is on the hood of the challenger while Stuntman Mike tries to knock her off by slamming their car repeatedly! So intense!
Love that film and that scene!
@MarcusFlemmings Also the fact that all of these scenes were done with practical effects made them way more insane!
@@jessecritchfield6792 YES!! So epic!
The matrix reloaded's action set pieces are amazing. The chateau fight and the highway set piece outclass nearly every action movie this decade. The camera work, choreography and soundtrack is immaculate. Most of all everything has style, and there is a natural build up and release of tension.
Agreed! It's not a car chase...but for fight scenes, agreed!
To me, it's about editing and the shots the editor has to work with. Having fast cuts is a double edges sword and could be effective if done right. Like Mad Max, or even before that, car chases in The Bourne Trilogy.
Deffo! But also it has to be shot well! If, like in F9, it's just CGI for 95% of the shot it will never sell to the human eyes. Fab comment! Stick around!
The Matrix sequels get a bad rap but the freeway chase is PERFECTION. I don't care what anyone says. Opinions matter not here. This is fact
Totally agree! And the fight just before it!
That may be, but the rest of the film is rubbish. The third managing to be even worse than the second.
Man I’d love a whole series of you breaking down car chases like this. Definitely subscribing!
BIG love! Thanks for the sub and the comment!
My personal Top 5 car chase scenes (in order): French Connection (1971), Bullitt (1968), Ronin (1998), The Bourne Identity (2002), The Transporter (2002)
For me the men putting on their seat belts is just makes it magic(Bullit)
Great list! I've not seen The Transporter - but the rest are fantastic!
@@patmann9363 And the soundtrack. When the music stops and the burnout begins, it's all business from there. Such an interesting way of peaking intensity, by simply stopping the suspenseful music that had been building.
great list!!
Some fantastic films on your list, Ronin however, is the love letter to car chase films. Love your content.
Love the way you put that ❤
Yes, for me it’s the most riveting car chase I’ve seen.
HUGE LOVE for this comment! Means alot! And agreed!
It's up there!
Gotta mention of H.B. Halicki’s Gone in 60 seconds. Arguably one of the most raw and real car chases in film history, since it was practically all filmed without the correct permits on public roads with regular people as extras. as well as being one of the longest chases in film history
Never seen it, but many mentioned it :) love the comment! Stick around!
The most fun I've had watching a car chase scene was both of the most recent Mission Impossibles. Incredible stuff right there.
Some really good chases! But not that memorable in my mind. The most recent one was good but too long :) thanks for the comment! Stick around!
The original Gone in Sixty Seconds car chase was epic 🤘 Great video Marcus, thank you .
Do you know what, I've not seen that one! Might have to check it out :) big love as always!
@@MarcusFlemmings The original Gone is 60 Seconds has the longest car chase in movie history at 40 minutes AND they destroyed 93 cars in the process (and you see the car wreck footage). Plus they had a really tight budget and didn’t have the proper permits so it was all filmed on Sundays (when offices of bureaucrats were closed) and it was a *ONE TAKE* and that’s a wrap kind of situation. It’s pretty impressive from a logistical point of view and part of cinematic history IMO….definitely give it a looksy Marcus. 🩵
@@GreatGreebo so many films to watch! ARGGGGH! Paahaha! I've seen the remake where Angelina has dreads, does that count?!
The Road Warrior.....Ronin...French Connection....To Live and Die in L.A.....Blues Brothers......these are the best in movie history. They were not only expertly filmed, executed, but they also had reason and drover (no pun intended) the story forward. As far as I know no CGI on either of them as well.....
All are fantastic choices! I've not see LDLA! I can't find it anywhere!
Yesterday, I noticed Ronin was on Prime and watched it once again. Such a good movie. From McGuffin to acting to car chases, story. Almost 30 years old yet still feels so fresh.
Incredible film!
Just came across your channel with this video. Absolutely brilliant. Dropped a sub! Keep up the awesome content bro.
My friend, thank you for the sub and huge love for the comment!!!
Great video! "Fast food filmmaking" is a perfect way to put it, and it has definitely been the bane of movie making since the over reliance of CGI.
I gotta say though.. as a big lover of practical effects and an even bigger hater of CGI, I still a die F&F fan. I get that they are super unrealistic at this point, but I feel like they perfectly walk the line of taking themselves seriously and not taking themselves seriously, which most movies coughMARVELcough fail miserably at. I think it's mostly due to all the actor's chemistry with each other, and aside from a couple people (looking at you, Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson) you can really tell that everyone genuinely enjoys being with each other.
Last thing: a really fun movie that is about 80% car chase is the original 1974 Gone in Sixty Seconds. It's full of insane stunt driving including a devastating UNSCRIPTED car crash that was kept in the film.
This comment is LIFE! Love it! Also I love the fact that you defended F&F! I don't want this channel to be an echo chamber. I love fast 5 but the rest don't really work for me...and that's okay. They work for a helluva lot of people. Based on the box office! Stick around sir!
Honestly, peak car chases are from The Blues Brothers. If you ever want to do a follow-up on this video, it could be interesting to look at that film :)
I've never seen that film - but it's been mentioned a few times. I'll give it a watch! Thanks for the comment!
@@MarcusFlemmingsyou dare to make a video about car chases without having seen Blues Brothers. You just disqualified yourself.
@@rictusmetallicus I KNOW! I feel I bad! One day I'll watch it!
Love your channel, mate. Just subscribed!
Thank you for the love!
Great video, i love the chase in The Matrix Reloaded but over the years have felt that the chase in Bad Boys 2 (both out in the same year) edges it slightly, just more visceral and overall carnage galore.
Thanks for the kind words! For me, that Bad Boys 2 chase is good! But the Matrix beats it, for all the reasons I mentioned in the video. But it doesn't mean that the Bad Boys 2 chase isn't still stellar :)
Another great, visceral car chase was in To Live And Die In L.A.!
I need to see this film!!!
You gotta watch some older car chase movies. You can't talk about bad car chases vs good car chases and not show The Blues Brothers, Smokey and the Bandit, Gone in 60 Seconds, Vanishing Point, Death Proof, To Live & Die in LA, etc.
Well The French Connection came out before any of those films :) and I talk about that scene as a good example. I've seen all the films you mentioned, bar To Live and Die in LA - as it's not available anywhere. Thanks for the comment!
@@MarcusFlemmings The Blues Brothers would be a great example of how comedy and high stakes/high octane chase scenes can be done successfully.
@@TrippingHawk Not seen it! But many have mentioned it - I have no doubt it's good :)
blues brothers was incredible for a lot of reasons. their car chases broke records that still havent been beaten.
@@IIIDemon These Blues Brothers shout outs are amazing! I need to watch.
I've seen no mention of the To Live and Die in L.A. car chase. Truly epic! Also directed by the late great William Friedkin.
I've never seen it as it's not available anywhere! Which is very annoying to say the least :(
@@MarcusFlemmings Yes, that's so surprising especially in the age of streaming. Definitely put in your watchlist!
Good video, however one of my best mates looked after the villain’s Jags for the Spectre car chase in Rome. It took that second unit team 6 weeks to shoot the sequence, and he was there for every night’s shooting, overseeing maintenance for the 6 cars they used. So they still do invest the resources to shoot car chases, at least on big budget sets…
Ah, I knew it! 2nd unit shoot! My instincts are often right!
@@MarcusFlemmings Nailed iT!
The MI franchise car and bike chases are also very well done! With high stakes and practical stunts!
Agreed! The most recent had a great one :)
Thank you for giving the car chase from Matrix Reloaded the credit it deserves. I agree that it's the best one there is. I saw it in the cinema when it was first released and it was mind-blowing, despite the rest of the film being a bit of a snooze.
Yes, I saw it in the cinema when it first came out too and it was mindblowing! Still is, to this day! Great comment! Do stick around!
After seeing the Spectre car 'chase' scene I went back and watched the opening car chase scene to Quantum Solace and it's night and day.
The editing is clunky with too many cuts, but it's fast, feels real, we see Bond who, like you said, is a calm and cool character actually looking like he's in trouble, no reality bending gadgets, just guns, driving ability and also luck, the environment in a narrow tunnel with traffic & police being both a benefit and also a hindrance.
Spectre is a bad film, so is the most recent one...Casino Royale and Skyfall remain the only two good Bond films on Craig's record! Thanks for the comment! Stick around!
A few of my favourites: Bullit (1968)
Driver (1978)
We Own the Night (2007)
Vanishing Point (1971)
Thelma and Louise (1991) - though it has some of that 90's cheese.
Haha! Nothing wrong with some cheese! Thanks for the comment! Stick around!
Yeah, I think the worst thing an action film can do is create all the "meat and potatoes" of a car chase in post-production.
Tell me about it! It's so annoying! The Fast and Furious films are the worst culprits!
@@MarcusFlemmings
The last one I saw, my friend lost it and kept screaming "PHYSICS" at the more egregious parts.
@SewerTapes paahahahahahaha! I didn't subject myself to the pain by entertaining that film - nor part with my hard earned money! 😂
@@MarcusFlemmings
Oh no, it was downloaded. Part 6 I think. I'm on a seemingly endless quest to find the worst movie ever made, so I've seen trash that makes Furious Fastness look like Citizen Kane. . . stuff that made that same friend spray Febreze in his own eyes. Not even joking.
@@SewerTapes HAHAHAHAAHAHHA! I need to stay away from your friend, and you it seems - I simply can't embark on such trash in my life! Time is too short! Troll 2 might be the one though!
It´s incredible how much a real car chase scene with stunts and professional drivers it´s more engaging to watch, some of my recent (2000+) favorite scenes: Opening car chase in Quantum of Solace (Aston Martin DBS vs Alfa Romeos); The Italian Job (2003) mini coopers in the subway; Bourne Supremacy taxi vs G-Wagon scene; Gone in 60 Seconds whole Eleonor (GT500) scene; No Time to Die with the Norway scene, when Bond must flee with a Land Cruiser against a gang of Range Rovers, Defenders and motorcyles, all while carrying his daughter in the car.
Great choices! Big love for the comment :) stick around!
There's an animated movie named Redline that's worth checking out if you enjoy cars racing and chasing each other on screen. It's absolutely bonkers at times, and a lot of fun once you realize it's not taking itself seriously. It's crazy in a way the recent F&F movies wish they could be.
I grew up on the original and remake of Gone in 60 Seconds and those two movies had me on the edge of my seat every time I watched them.
BIG shout! The original is apparently great! :) thanks for the comment! Stick around!
I realize having watched this that i lately havent seen that many movies with a car chase.. but i definitely agree that stakes have to be shown, proper reaction shots from the actors and minimal cuts (unless needed) fit the bill for a good chase. Best example i can think of is The Bourn Identity and its mini cooper chase
Love that scene!
Soon as anyone mentions care chase scene my first thought it always Blues Brothers. Managed to do visceral and comedy at the same time. Held the record for most cars crashed in a movie for a good number of years, too (broken by one car in the 2000 sequel. And the stunt driving was great! Great precision.
I've not seen it - but many have mentioned it on here :) thanks for the awesome comment! Stick around!
Man I love the blues brothers car chases, absurd but amazing at the same time
I know EVERYONE has covered Baby Driver but I would have willingly watched it all over again if you had that in here. Still a great video, thanks!
Big love for the comment! Stick around!
Great video! Although I want to give Fast & Furious some credit. Justin Lin who directed most of the series always tried to do MOST things practical. The safe scene in F5 is obviously the best. They got a real tank in F6 which crushed real cars. While F9 does have a lot of CG stuff, they did go on location in a jungle and most explosions are real. I can appreciate both kinds of action, grounded and over the top. Not by Justin Lin, but in F8 (the first shot in this video), they actually flipped all of those cars for real and only the submarine is CG for obvious reasons. In F10, they actually had a burning ball rollling through Rome.
Random action movies with chases I love: The Blues Brothers, The Transporter (not 3 - ruined by director Olivier Megaton who also ruined Taken 2 and 3 with shaky cam and seizure cuts), Mad Max series especially 2, Terminator 1+2, Speed from 1994, Lethal Weapon series, The Raid 2, John Wick series, Bad Boys 2, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung movies (underappreciated car stunts, not just fights), Con Air, Die Hard 4, The Rock from Michael bay, Breakdown with Kurt Russell.
It may be hard for you to watch this somewhere, but the german TV crime series "Alarm für Cobra 11" which started in 1996 and is still going with over 300 episodes, has some of the best car chases/crashes I've seen and it's just a TV show! They won several Taurus World Stunt Awards. Every episode usually has 3 action scenes, mostly with cars. In the last 28 years they've also made over 20 feature length films with a higher budget and you can see it on screen. Since 2005 or so, they've built their own freeway because closing off real freeways got too expensive. You can find some compilations on UA-cam "Cobra 11 crash mix"
Wow, your user name isn't a bluff, you know your STUFF! Love this comment! I've seen most of the things you mentioned - apart from The Blues Brothers and the German TV show! Everything else is fantastic!
As for F&F....F5 is a nice little movie with some great car chases. Justin Lin is a good director. But some of the other films, it's just ridic the things they put together. But seems like ALOT people love it so I'm in the minority!
Great comment sir!
@@MarcusFlemmings If I had the choice to watch F9 or John Wick, I will always choose the latter. But I do like the ridiculousness of the last Fast movies. At least they're always creative with their ideas, every setpiece is different and they're trying something new. I don't really care about the movies themselves but the action scenes entertain. I like the cast which is better than Expendables (4) now lol.
You gotta see Blues Brothers 1980, the most expensive comedy at the time, went way over budget for all the wrecked vehicles and the first time a movie crew was allowed to shoot in downtown Chicago. Not 100 % sure but I believe it had the world record for most cars wrecked in a movie for a while. Allstar cast, timeless music, classic quotes, it works as a musical, a comedy and as an action movie. They were able to completely demolish and drive through a mall which was closing anyway. You can ignore the sequel 2000 which also has a nice huge car pile-up but you can't replace John Belushi, RIP.
I still considered the car chase scene in Moscow from Bourne Supremacy is one of my most favorite car chase scene of all time. Honorable mention, most car chase scene from Jackie Chan's films from 90s are the most entertain and perfectly blend with humor and great stunt work very well.
I actually prefer the chase in Identity...maybe! It's a tough call!
4:55 Man that cut to the Mad Max chase scene gave me goosebumps dude.
Huge love!! Thanks for this :)
God I love thar chase scene in matrix reloaded goosebumps from that last microsecond save when the truck go boom
I LOVE IT! And love this comment!
Going back to the classic film Drive from 2011, that was a visceral car chase/movie. It was beautiful
It is visceral for sure! Not many chases but it has some good ones!
I remember being put to sleep by specter man what a colossal disappointment that chase and movie was. Subbed great content man
Huge love for this! :)
Not a movie, but the bike chase in the tv show Barry (season 3) is one of the most intense chase scenes I've seen lately. The sound design is insane. If you haven't seen it, watch it on UA-cam, you won't regret it.
I've seen it :) it's really really good! Would have maybe added if it was in a film :) there's a great fight scene too in season 1!
@@MarcusFlemmingsBarry is one of my favorite shows, I'm so glad to see you watched it. Oh, I also watched your video on the avalanche scene in Force Majeure, it was really good. Fun fact : the movie is titled "Snow Therapy" in French, my native language. I find it really funny that we're using an English title, while English speakers are using a French title for the movie.
@Kanashimimo that film has so many titles! 😂
Damn, talking about a bad James bond car chases (granted, a VERY BAD one, that was terrible)
But not talking about the car chase intro of Quantum of Solace ? Too bad, that was one insane !
It was okay! Bit a too choppy and you can tell it's shot by the 2nd unit - because the director isn't that type of director :)
A perfect comparison is comparing the highway chase sequence in The Dark Knight to the Batmobile chase of Penguin in The Batman. While both films certainly have different tones and are both good films, the Dark Knight car chase is as you put it more 'visceral' and iconic. One reason for this is how music is utilised (or lack thereof). The bombastic soundtrack in the Batman tells us to feel the tension while Batman chases Penguin. However, under Nolan's direction (and funnily enough rare for his style these days) the scene plays out with no music and only the sounds of the highway (trucks, car horns, shotgun shells hitting the van and the Batmobile's tank-like movement) are played as the Joker chases down Harvey Dent. Making for a much more effective car chase scene.
This comment = 😍
Love it! And very true. Not the biggest fan of the The Batman's car chase. It's a bit too dark, tight and messy. BUT it's not bad.
The Raid 2 car chase is still one of my favourites ever to this day. We get hand to hand ma action going on and gunfights along the way. The way they shot some of the action portion is crazy. Some crew had to dressed as the car front seat to pass the camera outside to the back of the car and having a crew hidden below the side of the backdoor to receive the previous camera and hold the camera outside for the remaining shot. Id also like to mention they did this all in a actual road in Indonesia that knowns for its heavy traffic jam
Video about The Raid 2 coming up soon!
Fully agree that Spectre chase is boring. Contrast it with the car park sequence in Tomorrow Never Dies, and there’s no contest. TND gives us an innovative take on the genre, with great stunts, a slick look, and a great soundtrack.
Also the tank chase! I think from Golden Eye!
I'm happy to find this video. People got too much in CGI and got carried away in the end. Fury Road had shit load of CGI in the end but we never felt it was fake or Ronin care chase has CGI as well. But they really kept it in check.
YES! Exactly...keep it in check is the solution! Another comment from you my friend!
Fury Road also had a lot of practical effects, that were complimented by CGI
Great. Especially Spectre. You nailed it, why this was boring.
But what I'm missing ist the car chases from The Transporter and Taxi.
Both of those two films are fun!
Great video! I would love to see your take on "most creative" car chases or action. I nominate Déjà Vu (2006) as one as the most creative.
Not seen it, I think....! Is that the Denzel version?
Hi marcus i'm a youg man who just had the luck of getting a sony fs5 for 4 hundred bucks, what lens would you recommend me on a budget? love your videos
Hellloo! BIG love for watching!
Lens wise - what are going with it? Films or UA-cam videos?
I think the key element to practical effects is that you know it's real and you know the real risk people when through filming that. It's like watching an acrobat jumping in the air, with the constant risk of him/her falling and dieing . However, there are CGI aided sequences that are just as breathtaking, but it really depend on the movie and the director. Gravity for instance has extensive use of cgi and bluescreen yet it all feels real , grounded and visceral.
YES! The more we feel for how the scene was shot and the dangers, the more we connect on a sub conscious level!
I still remember this chase in Matrix reloaded because I had such wet hands. I almost forgot to breathe😮.
It's fantastic! Great comment! Stick around!
One chase I always remember, probably because of the epic music, is from the French-made 1969 political thriller Z. It's really a driver bullying a poor pedestrian, but what it lacks in length or spectacle, I think it makes up for in realism and fear.
Wow! I've heard of that film - you've pulled that out of nowhere! Love the reference :) Sounds the Spielberg film Duel!
Great scene, I do love the sort of random nature of it, of this poor guy being harassed and bullied into persecution, its a very short scene from the film but very memorable for how starkly realistic it is. Honestly since then i sometimes catch myself staring back at any car driving up fast behind walking on the pedestrian path cuz ive watched too many movies where ppl get killed that way
The car / motorcycle chase in Paris in Mission Impossible Fallout is up there for me.
it's another good one for sure!
7:43 Thank you!
Matrix Reloaded is best action film ever!
Wow! BIG statement! I think Matrix 1 is a better action film than 2, but 2 had the better stand out sequeneces! With a worse story :)
To me, the most memorable car chase scenes are the tank chase in GoldenEye and the car chase in Captain America: Winter Soldier
Both are great! Although the CA one is more foot vs car!
@@MarcusFlemmings It's the bland of the cinematography and the music that is just a perfect bland in the CA:WS. For some reason it just really sticks with me as a great sequence.
LMAO that scene from Austin Powers will forever be hilarious
I love it! I can't deny.
So glad to see The French Connection chase in your compilation. In my view it's the best car chase on film because it looks real. It's also a great movie. Bullitt has a good chase too
You said it perfectly...it looks real! (another great comment from you)
Should have shown that bridge crossing scene from Fast 9 in contrast to the bridge crossing scene in Sorcerer.
The Friedkin Connection audiobook is on UA-cam now and it’s amazing..
I didn't finish the Sorcerer - i prefer the original film. Wages of Fear. So turned it off :) thanks for the comment!
how did you forget the blues brothers car chase finale!
Not seen it :(
Honorable mention to Michael Bay's The Island and its car chase scene. Good shit
Bay is good with action! Great comment! Stick around!
@@MarcusFlemmings he sure is! For all the bad rep he gets, he's pretty much created his own style, which other directors have tried to emulate but failed. And that has merit.
Another good one I'd add is the one from The Batman
It's a good one...many have mentioned it! But it's a bit messy!
There were no car chases in Ford v Ferrari but I've watched it so many times. Probably their acting makes it better but the races felt real.
Great film! But yeah no car chases :)
To me, the best car chases are the ones in the Mission Impossible movies, particularly the BMW into motorbike chase in Rogue Nation , the motorbike chase from the French police in Fallout, and the Three-way car chase with the Yellow Fiat in Dead Reckoning.
MI has some amazing chases, agreed! Big love for the comment! Stick around!
The movie Nobody with bob odenkirk has one of my fav car chases of all time
Tidy little movie!
Great video.
Speaking of Bond, even within the Craig series you can find a much better car chase in the Quantum of Solace opening. Yes the editing is a bit hectic but I think in this case it helps to convey the intensity. Compared to Spectre, Craig's performance is much more fitting and the high stakes in this chase are clearly there with no mistakes by the drivers going unpunished.
Yeah, others have mentioned Quantum -- I think it's a bit frantic! But it's better than this crap! Thanks for the comment! Stick around!
I’m surprised no one is mentioning The Italian Job (1969)! The car chase with the minis and the bus is so fun to watch, can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it!
Great shout! Thanks for the comment! Stick around!
The first race in the need for speed movie is absolute gold, the movie really declines from there into cgi mush, but that first race is spectacular - esp the audio.
I need to see it again, I don't remember it :)
It also comes down to the music too!
You think? French Connection and Ronin don't have any music and they're better films for it :)
what about the Blues Brothers? one of the most classic car chases
Never seen it :(
Not really car chases per say, but great long car tracking shots in the Last of Us zombie outbreak scene and Children of Men ambush part. Visceral is the perfect word.
Yeah, neither are car chases but Children of Men is great! A great film too :)
The original mad max (1979) has one of the most incredible opening car chase scenes for the time. Im actually shocked at the stunts that they did in it
George Miller likes pushing the boundaries - great comment!
To live and die in La is a severely underrated movie, and has one of the best car chases ever put to film. French Connection was first (also by Friedkin) but TLDLA is arguably an improvement over that chase in some ways. Friedkin also did Sorcerer which doesn´t contain any chases per se, but has some really tense scenes involving driving cars which seems to be something that Friedkin does really well.
Love this comment! Unfortunately it's impossible to get hold of Live and Die...its not available anywhere, so I've never seen it!
I would also argue that humor needs not be in car chases. For as much as I enjoy the Mission Impossible movies, I was immediately taken out of “the zone” in Dead Reckoning when: Ethan and Grace first saw the buggy, and after the comedic nonsense of figuring out how it works.
Also, the car chase in Death Proof is the best I’ve ever seen. My hands were actually sweating 😂
YES, it's a great practical chase! So dangerous!
I think you're missing the fact that F9, is one of the best comedies to come out in years. Watched it on an airplane and was asked what was so funny by multiple passengers.
Hahahaha! Laughing at it...not with it right?
Excellent video 👍

Huge love for the sub and the comment!
Chase scene in 1st Jack Reacher is in my heart.
TC is great!
Death Proof by my favourite director.. Quentin Tarantino had a car chase that works as a nod to 70s australian cinema, aswell as a villain straight out of a spaghetti western
Yes, yes and yes! AGREED! And great director! Stick around!
@@MarcusFlemmings 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Let me add to the great mentions here with the movie Drive. The first chase of the movie is really intense, even the soundtrack fits really well with the scene. And also The Driver from 1978 which inspired Drive.
Both are good chases! Agreed. But these in the video are great....well not all of them!
