YES! This is a hell of a movie.

The entirety of Mad Max Fury Road is kind of a chase sequence.

I really like the final car chase in the Bourne Supremacy. I usually don't care for shaky cam and quick cuts, but it all really works for me there.

Speaking on Tintin, I can appreciate it on a technical level, but there's something about the way the physics behave in that world that simply bother me. It's like there's a bit more gravity than normal. It puts me off.



Yes, I feel similarly. I know, obviously, it's a CGI animated movie and whatnot, but most of it still comes off as being artificial and unnatural.

Reminds me of the action scenes from the Hobbit films. Shit just bouncing all over the place with no real drama to it.
 
Caught this movie on a whim with a friend and yeah that scene was extremely impressive.

The rest of the movie I remember liking but I don't really remember the movie itself lol.
 
Holy shit that is suuuuch a PJ chase scene LOL!

I've tried watching the movie a few times, but honestly the 3D style is just a little too uncanny for me :( It weirds me out! I wish I could watch it though, I really like Tintin :\ Maybe I'll weather through it sometime

I've never watched a single 3D movie that got that reaction out of me.
 
The Chase in Uncharted 4

Shitty movie though.
 
Mad Max Fury Road. Obviously most of the movie is a chase scene but I want to give props to the scene right at the beginning where he's trying to escape from the citadel.

Everyone I was watching it with was holding their breath because it was so intense.
 
This was a pretty good scene. I pretty much forgot about this movie, though. Wasn't there supposed to be a sequel.

So interesting . . . I've always struggled to enjoy that scene. Once Furiosa sets out, the movie never stops being aces though.
 
Indiana Jones and the last crusade got some good chase scenes.
Specifically:
- Bike chase with Indy and Henry.
- Tank sequence in the desert
 
Mad Max Fury Road... I mean, the entire film is basically one big chase scene. And it is awesome.

Though considering how it seems to be a spiritual successor to Buster Keaton's The General, it is not a surprise. The General is one big chase scene... with trains. And very awesome.
 
I want a sequel.

Those books were my childhood and I'd die to see stuff like "The Calculus Affair", "Prisoners of the Sun", "Tintin in America" (minus the racist stereotypes), "Destination Moon", on the big screen.
 
I really love the Tintin movie and the chase is very impressive indeed. At first I didn't even realize it's a single continous shot.

The uncannyness never hit me neither. The characters are just stylized enough for me, and they don't have the Polar Express deadeye stare. I really hope the planned sequel gets out of dev hell...
 
The chase scene was good. And I loved the film even though it wasn't perfect. Been waiting patiently for the next one. No one break that for me.
 
Had no idea a sequel was stuck in development hell, would be cool to see them go back to it with maybe a further push with stylization
 
I really hate this chase scene. Every thing just connected together smoothly like butter. There is no sense of camera weight and presence. Even better video game cut scenes have better sense of the camera and tension. There is no tension in this scene or those 2012 destruction scenes becuase the water and collapse buildings just magically fall into the "right places."
 
That's a great sequence to a fairly underrated solid adventure film.

Probably one of my favorite chase sequences is the opening act in Casino Royale, just so exciting. Also the classic cropduster sequence in North By Northwest.
 
There are three super obvious classic answers (French connection, bullet), but man. Shit movie... But matrix reloaded keymaster action sequence is hot fire.
 
I absolutely loved the Tintin movie. It made me feel like a kid again watching the morning cartoons and it was one of the first movies I saw on my first 1080p TV.

Would have loved a Blue Lotus or Tintin in Tibet sequel but I know it's never happening ):
 
Really would have liked a sequel to Tintin. fuck, why do so many good movies underperform nowadays :(

man one of these days I'm gonna pop in that bluray again. also the lighting was crazy impressive, the darkly lit scenes at night were dope. WETA did fantastic work imo, was never particularly bothered by the way the characters looked. much better than the Zemeckis crap we got like beowulf and polar express.

but yeah my favorite car chase scenes in film are

- the finale chases in Road Warrior and Fury Road
- Bourne Supremacy's final chase
- French Connection
- Raiders of the Lost Ark finale (this and Fury Road were a lot alike to me)
- Matrix Reloaded highway scene
- The Lone Ranger train sequence, it was like if Buster Keaton got a 200 million dollar budget.

with any luck Baby Driver will make this list too.
 
I really loved the Tintin books as a kid; they were right up there with Asterix & Obelix.

The movie was fantastic. I hadn't been expecting much, tbh - very happy with how it turned out. Kinda weird how some franchises just don't catch on, or make that transition to another medium.

Anyways - how about a chase scene on foot? :)

The opening from Casino Royale : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0sWituA5kk
 
Casino Royale opening sequence has to be one of the best in the series,that shit had me pumped through the entirety of it, just masterfully executed.
 
Tintin, Rango and Coraline are lowkey the most underrated films, live action or otherwise, of the past decade, sales and/or critically.

I want a Tintin sequel and a new ILM animated movie so bad.
 
spot on with that list. i haven't seen my life as a zuchinni yet but if we're only counting english movies that's the trinity of really great and underappreciated animation movies this decade.

(although I think at least one of those won an oscar at least). Rango is so dope, the combination of Verbinski/Deakins/ILM made for the most beautiful CG animated film too imo.

Rango, Tintin and Fantastic Mr. Fox all gave me the same sense of "...hey this movie is actually really fucking awesome" midway through the movie that I got with Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Went into all of them with low expectations, and now I can say with certainty that they're all awesome and inventive genre spoofs which don't get the love they deserve.
 
Fantastic Mr. Fox is amazing. probably the best animated movie in the last 10 years and honestly it might even be the best Wes Anderson movie for me. Can't wait for his Island of Dogs stop motion film. sounds like i'm being hyperbolic but man I love these movies quite a bit. i think it makes a good case for other interesting directors from non animation backgrounds to jump in and kill it.

Edgar Wright is making a dreamworks movie too soon, watch that be fantastic.

It's also one of the most graceful character redemptions out there. "My compliments sir. Now take her and get out!" Every character and story thread in the film comes together in this orgy of gorgeous cinematography, music and violence. I'm still grouchy the OST fades the track that plays over it out after four minutes or so.

I have a very hard time with this sequence because of the son's death. But the revenge is immediate and brutally cathartic.

I didn't like the Tintin chase when I saw it in theaters, and I liked it even less now. The animation is just so off-putting. Weightless and weirdly stiff at times and just not enjoyable at all to look at. That whole sequence just feels tension-free and boring when it should be exciting and funny.
 
Bullet because I'm biased.
All Mad Max movies.
Blues Brothers.
Does all of minority report count?

Another honorable mention. 28 weeks later opener.
