It's fair to say that it took the Fast and Furious franchise a while to find its feet. Whereas the first four films were focused on the underground world of illegal street racing, Fast Five opted for a larger scope with a plot surrounding a sprawling international heist. The emphasis seemed to be firmly on fun and embracing the ridiculous this time...
It's hard to express just how big of a deal It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (yes, that's the proper title) was when it came out. It was basically like the comedy version of The Avengers, a meeting of all the comedic legends of the era in one big adventure. Spencer Tracy leads a huge cast of recognizable funny faces including Mickey Rooney, Milton Berl...
Steven Spielberg's sci-fi/noir/chase epic Minority Reportdoesn't seem come up in movie conversations much these days, which is a real shame. The film deals with a futuristic police force called PreCrime that uses a pool of psychics known as PreCogs to see murders before they happens. Through the psychics' visions, they get a video of the possible f...
If you've heard of Bullittbut not seen it yet, it's likely because A) it features Steve McQueen, scientifically proven (citation needed) to be one of the coolest man to walk on this planet and B) it has some incredible car chases in it. Both are true, but it undersells the rest of the film somewhat. It's a taut thriller with a fast pace and a genui...
1977 was a huge year for cultural phenomenons. Whilst people flocked in droves to see Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever, simple chase movie Smokey and the Banditcapitalized on an obsession with trucking culture and CB radio, not to mention the popularity of hit songs like "Convoy". The plot is simple. Bo “Bandit” Darville (Burt Reynolds) is a reno...

Run Lola Runis probably the most unique entry on this list. In case you're not aware, it's a German thriller starring Franka Potente as Lola, the under-appreciated girlfriend of small-time crook Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu). Lola gets a terrifying phone call from Manni, who states that unless she delivers 100,000 Deutsche Marks to his boss in 20 minute...
In Ronin, Robert De Niro's character Sam talks about never walking into a place he doesn't know his way out of, which sums up the film's overall atmosphere perfectly. The basic story is this: a group of international mercenaries are hired to retrieve an important briefcase. Both Irish and Russian gangsters seem to be interested in the case and its ...
The Blues Brothers shouldn't have worked. After a bidding war for the film, the production hit a litany of snags along the way. As Dan Aykroyd had yet to hone his screenwriting skills, he delivered a long and overly complicated script, which meant that director John Landis had to step in and start shooting without a confirmed budget whilst simultan...
James Cameron's sci-fi masterpiece The Terminatormay not be the first movie that comes to mind when talking about chase movies, but it absolutely belongs for a number of reasons. It's a classic cat-and-mouse story about a time-travelling cyborg assassin from the future winding up in the era of big hair and Ronald Reagan. The Terminator (Arnie, obvi...

Oct 18, 2024 · Spies Like Us (1985) Image Credit: Warner Bros. In 1985, Chase reunited with one of the most diverse SNL alums in the form of Dan Aykroyd, the two starring in the comedic espionage thriller, Spies Like Us. A loose parody of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope’s Road to… movies, Spies Like Us opened to mediocre reviews from critics in 1985, although ...
