    Ronin

    Watching this great film on Sky havent seen it for years what a bloody great car chase forgot how good this film was. Car chase has to be up there with the best in films wouldn't you agree??

      Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I now own a dark green D2 S8.

      Which car chase, there's more than one?

          Totally agree Anthony. Remember the first time i saw it, totally absorbing stuff.
          Definitely one of the best car chase films ever!

              Bullitt a little before more time but I have seen the film so I know the car chase is epic in that film to


              Also just think with Ronin it's a film very well put together not just the great car chases but the acting is great and your always wondering what the **** is in that silver case lol!!!

                Iconic for sure, but a bit tame really.
                The chase with the Mini in the Bourne Identity was a belter as well.

                  One of the things I remember when I saw Ronin for the first time was the lack of "da-da-da-de-dah-de-daaaah!" exciting car chase music. It was the sound of the cars you listened to. Unless I remember wrong, which is always possible.

                  Mini chase in Bourne Identity was awesome John, absolutely. Matt Damon did a lot of the driving too I think. I seem to remember watching a "making of" documentary and he was having a blast.

                    Bullitt is great, the driver and roning amongst the best by far. Was there not 3 chases in ronin?

                      A great chase indeed and that big Audi sounded AWESOME!!

                      For me it's Bullitt followed by this scene from The Spy Who Loved Me, for a few very obvious reasons . . .





                      I always got the feeling that Bond would have said something rather rude right after he felled Miss Munro with his missile . . .

                        Roger rude? Na .. .. just persuasive and full of charm. He would/should have said, Nice chassis but she had to go!
