Location recordist Ken Saville also reminded me of the great car FX in the film The Vanishing Point, starring one mean sounding Dodge Challenger, check the trailer:
What other great car FX movies are there? I remember reading about the Robert DeNiro film Ronin a few years back, for its car FX, but I am damned if I can find the article/interview online….
Ronin: BMW vs Peugot
And a few more, from this thread:
- Fear is the Key (old Alistair McClane based movie)
- For Your Eyes Only – Citroen 2CV vs Peugeot 504
- Tomorrow Never Dies – BMW 7 in action
- Opening sequence of Cannonball Run with Countach and Pontiac police car
- Car-Train chase scene from French Connection
- MI 2: the Audi TT/ Porsche
- Romeo Must Die, with a Merc c class amg
- TAXI and its sequel TAXI 2; a Peugeot 206 flying(literally) around marsielle!
Bond…
Death Proof, from Tarantino too, no ?
I would strongly recommend “The Driver” (1978) if anyone hasn’t seen it. I watched it for the first time the other night – it’s got some great chases and generally aggressive v8 engines throughout it!
