railway car Salmon Portland Chase are a immense part of sci - fi film so it ’s crucial to pay protection . After all , no matter how high - conception your game may be ( like time travel and brain - transplants ) it always make out down to a cluster of railcar zooming around trying to smush each other .

auto chases are woven deeply into the DNA of movies , sayscrime writer Elmore Leonard . We contrive car and picture show at around the same time , and both experiences are about speed , excitement and technophilia . And you ca n’t write a good car chase — you have to film it . With explosions and sick eldritch vehicles . So here are our darling :
Freejack ( 1992 ) . Emilio Estevez is a racecar number one wood , who dies in a auto smash . But he does n’t really die , he ’s kidnapped into the future so Anthony Hopkins can steal his soundbox . Or something . It ’s all just a set - up for a giant car chase . you could narrate it ’s the distant future because everybody has laptop with video - chat clients in their elevator car . How else could Estevez tell Jagger he could n’t catch the blast in a bordello ? CB radio receiver ? I also get laid Jagger give him force backsheesh via vid - chat . I need a television Mick Jagger critiquing my drive to be a standard feature film in my next car .
Andy Gill , the stunt driverfor Freejack also did all the drive for the original Knight Rider , and here are a couple of his favored stunt .

THX-1138 ( 1971 ) . The green car scene towards the end of George Lucas ’ first picture show is an all - clip classic as THX makes a interruption for sweet freedom .
Cyber Tracker ( 1994 ) . Someone in constabulary enforcement took RoboCop a little too in earnest , and now all the cops are mean value cyborgs . Plus an vicious pot wants to replace political leaders with bots . It ’s up to Don “ The Dragon ” Wilson to barricade this lot , the only way he cognise how … with car pursual . bionic woman are softheaded driving fiends in this picture . At one point , a van hits Wilson ’s car , flips over in mid - strain , soars about twenty feet up and then crashes and explodes . Wilson , of line , is whole . Cyber - crashes are just secure than even clangoring . The stroke is so awesome , it appears three different times in the movie ’s house trailer .
Looker ( 1981 ) . Michael Crichton directed his own weird story about an evil company that scans modeling and create perfect computerized fax of them … then fling of the originals . The company also come up with a eldritch hypno raygun that works like roofies … it temporarily blanks out your mind and make you ineffectual to remember your aggressor afterwards .

Total Recall ( 1991 ) . This one is more clowning than anything else . Arnie is on the run , with a wet towel around his head to block the tracking gimmick in his skull and a traveling bag containing an important secret from Mars . To get style from the spooks chasing him , he steals a JohnnyCab , but first he has to deactivate the perky auto - machine driver and take controller of the joystick steering . Here ’s the video .
The Fifth Element ( 1997 ) . Milla Jovovich ’s weird strappy body suit and screwball talk beguile Bruce Willis into helping her jet out from the fuzz in hisflying taxi . He swerves through CGI tunnels at a breakneck pace . This is essentially just an old - fashioned pursuit . You have a cop electronic scanner - blocking agent instead of a radiolocation - detector , and the cop cars have machine guns on their hoodlum . But then it cease in the traditional agency , with Bruce shoot onto the string tracks and void a freight train , which the cops crash into , spilling cartons onto their hood . you may practically hear the banjo music .

He ’s give chase the past movements of a terrorist who blew up part of New Orleans three days ago .

Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace ( 1999 ) . Because you demanded it , here ’s the pod - racing scene . Wacky aliens , goggles , funny zappy lightning run between the perch of the pod , zoomy TV - gamey action .

Matrix : Reloaded ( 2002 ) . Sure , a good deal of this movie felt like a powerpoint intro about fate vs. free will and the meaning of something or other .

The blanched - dredlock guy wire have ordnance that as if by magic make the cars flip over , and then they can turn into carjacking ghosts . Meanwhile , Agent Smith can jumpstart onto car and smush / flip them without slowing down .

In the second flick , the evil Terminator is in a giant oiler hand truck trying to track down down the James Scott Connors ’ pickup truck , but Arnie start onto the tank ship and manages to flip it over , so it skids on its side into a steel factory and volley . But the best railcar - Salmon Portland Chase spectacle of all is in Terminator 3 , where a female Terminator pursuit John Connor ’s van while Arnie follows on motorcycle . Oh , and half a dozen cop car also attempt to capture John Connor . Laser mitt - gust , Hart Crane - street - fu , Arnie carjack a firetruck after he gets splatted on the windshield … it ’s all pretty awesome .
Next ( 2007 ) . Nicholas Cage play Johnny Cadillac , whocan see two minutes into the futureand adjust his actions accordingly . As any normal someone would , he uses this power to drive really fastand lead the pig on a half-baked - ass chase through the streets of Las Vegas . It ’s based on a Philip K. Dick story , so you know it has to be brilliant . Right ?
