SinceThe70s Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Channel flipping today and just missed the car chase from Bullitt. Watched it on the youtube and to be honest it didn't quite live up to the memory, but still iconic. So what are your favorites? Edited November 17, 2019 by SinceThe70s 3

One of the great car chase scenes ever. 1

But NOT as bad as Illinois Nazis:

Funny thing is that we did a tourist boat thing and I had no idea that we had to 'lock into' the Chicago River until we did and then I was wondering if you were on station as we passed through. I asked afterwards, and if I recall correctly, you're further north. But yeah, based on the length of your posts you have too much time on your hands.

I am on Calumet River about 7 miles down river from Calumet Harbor. Calumet Harbor is about 10 miles south of Chicago Harbor on L.Michigan in South Chicago. This is the industrial corridor. Both Chicago River and Calumet River-Sag Channel meet up downriver about 20 miles south and inland. Both locks are similar... Sector-gated controlling works.

Gray Beard Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 For a TV show, the Rockford Files had a good car chase in almost every episode. I mean a good car chase, not Dukes of Hazard stuff. Not to mention the Rockford Files had one of the best theme songs on TV. I couldn’t find any good videos of car chases, but here's the theme song... 1
ChevyVanMiller Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 What, no love for this all-time classic? 6
DC Tom Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Already mentioned. Bullitt, Ronin, Blues Brothers. So I'm going to throw the opening of Baby Driver in the mix: 1 1
