I think it had (I'm so old my memory's shot) the guy who played the cop in Jaws...it was called..."something six or seven" (I'm alot of help, arn't I) and it was a cop vs the drug smugglers in NY movie. Anyway, the driver of the "bad guys" car was the same driver in the "bad guys" car--a dodge charger or satalite if I recall, in "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen and (puke) Ali McBra. But in this "french connection" movie Rod Scheider chases them in a regular cop Dodge and runs under the back of a big truck trailer--shearing the entire top off the car! Wow! I bet you wet your pants when you see it. Much better than the exploding gas station scene in Bullitt.

You wanna talk about chase scenes--what about "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"? Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney, and Mr. Howel in a twin beech? "How about a little drinky winky?" or Cid Caeser in a Jenny? Now THATs funny!

Best chase scenes I've ever seen: Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and anything the Keystone Kops were in. It's already been done, and nobody has done it better since.
