I used to like a good car chase but not it just seems like part of the “movie formula”. Some recent chase scenes are still good but these day’s i’m guessing 1 out of 20 is worth the time to watch. The rest are predictable and lend nothing to the story.

I guess I’m showing my age but Road Warrior and the Blues Brothers are probably the most memorable car chases from my childhood.
Also, I used to loves the Dukes of Hazard as a kid. I’m thinking now that car chases had a lot to do with it’s success as a TV show. That and of course Daisy Duke!

That’s right, I think I was in the 8th grade, maybe 7th. I went to see it at the Secaucus Harmon Cove Theater, now a mall…of course. I was with Andrew DeLanzo, Rob Bugliaro, and Jeff DeLeo – - good days for sure.

Joe Says,”I remember Roger Moore as 007 driving an amphibious Lotus and coming out of the surf right up onto the beach.”
That is from The Spy Who Loved Me-Great one Joe!!

Hey Darren, I definitely love a good car chase. I remember Roger Moore as 007 driving an amphibious Lotus and coming out of the surf right up onto the beach. Car chases are almost like a fast paced microcosm of all the adventures, triumphs, and fears of human life. I also remember being 4 years old an seeing that 10 minute car chase in Bullitt at the movie theater. Steve McQueen was one serious driver and one cool dude. He always had a great haircut too. I once wrote a song about his hair called “Jesus, Buddha, Steve McQueen,” you may have heard it.

Good Health,
Joe
