Car chases: "You honkin' at me? Well, I'm the only car here. You honkin' at me?

rico,

It's quite amazing how car chases are so fascinating that there are constant programmes of police cruiser camera shots of pursuits.

I was amused a few years ago by an early scene in "The Rock" (ex-military terrorists take Alcatraz hostages with chemical weapons) in which Cage in an "appropriated Ferrari and Connery in an equally stolen Hummer chase through San Francisco with the goal of making the "Bullet" chase look like child's play. In the first place, Connery would never be let out of prison- the same fallacy as Gere's IRA character in "The Jackal", but after the destruction of the cars, a cable car! and property damage that would have been sseven figures plus liability, both Cage and Connery would never see the light of day again. Cage jumping the Ferrari through the shop window onto the street alone would've brought on an "early retirement"

The car chase offers some quick filler between the scenes with guns and should be used sparingly. You're very knowledgable about movies. Do you know of a car chase scene which is really integral to the story- that advances the plot or characters? Ther must be something..

Cheers,

Bambi B
