The new Movie Italian game looks to have some interesting new Mini Cooper footage in it.
Also the Badboys 911, versus Cobra was pretty cool. The Bond Flicks ussualy get some neat driving machines. Transporter has some good action also. Ed Hachtel |

QUOTE(need4speed @ Apr 29 2003, 11:56 AM) THX1138 has a chase scene with some CanAM style cars and police robots on motorcycles. Very reminicsent of Star Wars, in fact, by the same director. . . I recently saw this on cable late one night. Strange movie. Cross between Star Wars and Logans Run. HA! George Lucas wrote and directed it. It was his first movie after college, and he adapted it from a short film he had done earlier. Robert Duvall played the character THX1138. I wonder if this is where Lucas got the name for his THX sound design for movies, hum? -Mike D. (told you I could do this all day, I should start work sometime) |

Ahhh, yes Condorman. I also saw it when I was about 10. All I remember about the whole movie was those black 911's. They did a bunch of 'Rockfords' (fast in reverse then spin around and go forward). I would have never remembered the name of the movie if Brad hasn't mentioned it. I remember nothing else about the movie.

In every one of Lucas' movies, the number 1138 makes an appearance. Can't think of them off the top of my head, but in episode one there's a droid with 1138 on his back. Fast and Furious does have some cool scenes, but the acting hurts! worse than Keanu Reeves. Transporter has a great opening scene. Jen |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) "whoa" and "we need guns, lots of them" Your saying these are bad lines (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's not a car movie, but I still love Ferris Bueller and that Ferrari 250gt california replica...that slow motion lauch over the hill with the parking attendents is great. This list is helping me out, I have not seen hardly any of these. I'm making my list. Ferg. |

What was the name of the movie where Lee Majors was driving across country in a Porsche 917 while Burgess Meredith was firing at him from an F-86 Sabre-jet? (The movie was set in the future and gasoline cars were banned or something like that? The flying scenes were great too).

Some more "classics":
The Gumball Rally (Car chases and such) Two-Lane Blacktop Funny Car Summer Hooper The Italian Job (The original; Minis and all. Gotta see it before the remake comes out this Summer) Black Moon Rising (OK, not Tommy Lee Jones' greatest, but a hoot anyways) The Seven-Ups (What a chase scene! Gotta love that shotgun blast to that Ventura's hood!) The French Connection (Beat the crap outta that Caprice! Heck, I was born in a hospital near those EL's) Billy Jo and the Outlaw (The movie Wonder Woman regrets forever. Nice Mach 1) Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (Great chase scenes, nice 440 Charger) Vanishing Point (Yeah ... right; a clutch-activated blower system. Look for a yellow Camaro being slammed into the bulldozers in the end) Freebie and The Bean (Great motorcycle chase, and ya gotta love an airbourne POS cruiser right into an apartment building!) The Blues Brothers (Heard it holds the record for the most police cars fragged in a movie) (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/image_uploads/WavingFlag.gif) |

Evil fascists have forced everyone to recycle and drive electric cars, and have oppressed all those poor people who want to drive Ferraris and smoke cigarettes. Hero Lee Majors, an ex-racing car driver, decides to make a statement by pulling out his old race car and driving cross-country at 150 mph (he siphons gas from old gas station pumps). Taking along a young reform school geek in a vaguely homosexual subplot, he drives for the Holy Land the Free State of California! Of course, the Powers That Be try to eliminate him by hiring Burgess Meredith to shoot him down with a fighter jet, which, too, are virtually extinct. Mike D. |

Watched that with some racing buddies and we all had a good laugh at how stupid it was. Short sleeve nomex, for one, show cars (Champ cars) that start with a key and an on board starter. Or the scene where Stallone picks up the quarters off the track with his rear tires - SHEEESH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

How 'bout that scene where a car launches into hyperspace and lands in a swamp in the next state...
Ofcourse Stallone finishes his lap and then is the first one to get to the crashed car and help the driver out Where are the corner workers? Or even better, on which track could something like that even happen? cheers, Jeroen |

re: THX 1138 - yup on the THX for the sound system. Especially watch the chase scene and compare it to the scene in Star Wars where the good guys are attacking the death star. Close up of hero in cockpit with helmet on, turbines whining, garbled voices on radio - cut to exterior shot of car/ship flying by - cut to control room with controllers, um, controlling - cut to close up of tactical computer display, beeping - cut to bad guys coming up behind (same damn sound effects for the motorcycles as the tie fighers), cut back to hero in cockpit with helmet, turbines whining, etc.
Hee - last chase, I remember that one. That was a 917? I guess my Porsche love affair started earlier than I thought! Now I'm going to try to look up a copy of The Great Race - just to see Natalie Wood in that outfit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Final entry by me: The Grand Daddy Of All Car Movies: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. (Written by Ian Flemming - of James Bond fame. Who else would name a female character "Truly Scrumptious"?) |
