40 Greatest Movie Car Chases

1) The French Connection (1971)

The Chase: It’s arguably the most iconic car-chase in movie history as Popeye Doyle chases a subway train full of villains in a 1971 Pontiac Le Mans. With the hair-raisingly dangerous sequence being filmed without the permission of the City of New York, it’s no wonder Hackman looks like he’s concentrating…

Best Bit: Popeye narrowly dodges a mother and baby, sending a stack of crates flying in the process.

    It’s in the conversation, but for me, the chase in Bullitt is better.

    No permits. No permission. Nothing. Here’s...director Friedkin talking about it.
  14. entermycourts said: I never understand how anyone would seriously rate “The French Connection” over “Bullitt”. Boggles the mind.
