Tells you a little history about the mall and what they did to it during the filming.

My understanding is they were still paying for that scene up until recently.  I guess it cost a lot of money.

Hands down....during the hey day of Muscle Cars......the Movie.....Bullit!

390 Ford Mustang and a Charger R/T....Classic Muscle and the Streets of SanFrancisco.

Smoke, rubber and sparks everywhere!  Steve McQueen and a young Jacquilyn Bisset also.

What's your favorite?

The chase scene in French Connection
The chase scene in Bullit
The chase scene in Blues Brothers (the one where they recreate the French Connection chase scene)
The chase scene from Live and Die in L.A.

French Connection.

A car chasing an elevated train, and having to go against traffic while dodging the train line's pillars? Genius!

no one going to mention the car chase in the opening of the first Transporter movie? Putting aside the part where he bashed the car through a concrete bridge rail and lands on a car carrier truck, I love that car chase.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.
