top 5 chase scenes

Last night Eric and I saw the Bourne movies again. What a great series of movies if you haven't seen them. Well, anyway we got to talking and I asked him what his top 5 chase scenes were. Here is our list.
Honorable mention: Indian Jones and the Last Crusade. Scene: Indy and dad on the motorcycle.
A great scene with good interaction between Harrison and Connery. Always a cleaver idea to use a road blocking stick as a lance. LOL


Honorable mention: Bond, Tomorrow Never Dies. Scene: Michelle Yoeh and Perice Bronsen on the motorcycle being chased while being handcuffed together.
I have to say this was cleaver. I loved the way they bickered on the bike as they tried to get into a good spot to drive the bike.


5. Blue Brothers. Scene: end scene being chased by everyone and there brother.
When you can have that many people chasing you its got to be great.


4.Bourne Ultimatum. Scene: foot chase through the roof tops and apartment buildings.
What a great chase scene. Two chases going on at the same time. We have Bourne being chased by the police and Nickles being chased by the "Asset". What a great way to shoot the scene too.


3. Bond Casino Royal. Scene: Chase on foot through the construction zone.
Any scene where two men are chasing each other on a beam that high up in the air has to be great. Not the mention the great foot work were Bond finally catches up with his man.


2.Bourne Supremacy. Scene: Car chase through Russia
I love the chase through Russia. It starts on foot and quickly leads to the cars. I sure would have hated to be the person trapped in the tunnel when those two cam through. Not to mention the poor Russian woman who got her truck stolen by the Russian assassin then smashed into pieces. You know the Russian government isn't going to replace her car.


1. Blues Brothers. Scene: car chase through the mall.
This scene speaks for its self. Who wouldn't want to drive their car through say the gap or Victoria secrete.
