fukking "copy&paste" FAIL obviously SHOULD be "Bullitt (1968) staring Steve McQueen..." on the first line.

That is an amazing car chase for sure. I think the chase scene in To Live And Die In LA is the current world champion.

 

speaking of "chase scenes", has also been some GREAT (and at times very funny) ones in some of the James Bond movies over the years. Live and Let Die (1973) with Roger Moore as Bond had the boat chase thru the Louisiana Bayou with the comic touch of Clifton James as Sheriff J.W. Pepper. GoldenEye (1995) with Pierce Brosnan as Bond has the "tank chase" thru St. Petersburg, Russia and The World Is Not Enough (1999), also with Brosnan, opens was the boat chase on the Thames River in London which had some of the BEST stunts I have ever seen in a Bond film or anywhere else

Bond should be a separate category! All started with that beautiful DB5............

Bond should be a separate category!

perhaps THE Bond stunt was in the opening of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) when Roger Moore as Bond escapes an ambush by Soviet agents in Austria killing one during a downhill ski chase and escaping via a Union Flag parachute. the transition from skies to parachute was performed by Hollywood stuntman and "base jumper" Rick Sylvester from Canada's Mount Asgard. it is STILL one of the most spectacular openings to a Bond movie

btw, there will NEVER EVER be another "Q" as good as the late Desmond Llewelyn (1914 – 2000) who played Q in 17 different Bond films from 1963 in From Russia with Love  thru 1999 in The World Is Not Enough. a GREAT Welsh actor who imbraced doing one role extremely well. RIP, "Q"
