Here is a quick trivia question for everyone. What kind of car crashes into the bulldozer at the end of Vanishing Point?
But there was a movie, mid 80's, with John Stockwell, called "My Science Project" that had an absolutely wicked blown 68 GTO.
Ahhh yes, one of the gems of the 80's. They don't make kick ass comedy/adventure flicks like that anymore.
Vince: Awww, Mikey c’mon, I thought your GTO had more meat under da hood dan dis?
Vince: Go baby go, go baby go…go!
Mikey: C’mon baby, come on!!!
Vince: Hit da Blowa
Mikey: Ok, hold on (click, whoosh…whistle!!!) [car takes off like a bat out of hell]
Vince: Whoaaaaa, now we are talkin hypa-space!!!

That was Fisher Stevens. He always played some kind of nerd, or bad ass in all his movies. He was probably most famous for being the East Indian scientist in the Short Circuit movies.I don't have the flick readily available, who was Vince from that movie? He did a lot of other stuff-coulda been one of the Jerky Boys, or a Goodfella! And Christine treated first gen Camaro's right!
Im suprised the Bourne movies haven't been mentioned, unless im the only one who thinks that little Mini cooper chase was bad a? I thought all the Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum movies were very good for car chases..
Bullitt is the king- I read an old Hot Rod about movie car builders, they had to detune the Charger- skinny tires, no sway bars- cuz it kept running off from the Mustang on straightaways. Vanishing Point made me cringe- I dislike when they just tear the car up. The shoulda used a Biscayne or some tank like that to destroy. The Falcon XB in Road Warrior was cool, and I especially like when they use trucks in chases, like that Mack tanker. The crane/firetruck in Terminator 3 But there was a movie, mid 80's, with John Stockwell, called "My Science Project" that had an absolutely wicked blown 68 GTO.
Good car chase clip from Cannonball Run

I've read some where that is was a camaro that hit the bulldozer at the end.
Man, did I love those old Lamborghini Countach's back when I was a kid. Little did I know at the tender age of 10 how much of a POS they actually were.
It was my favorite car until Miami Vice hit the scene and Sunny Crocket rolled up in that bad ass white Ferrari Testarossa.
Speaking of Mini Cooper....the chase scene from "The Italian Job" was pretty cool as well.
