Top 5 Car Chase Scenes In Cinematic History

4. Way of the Gun (2000) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRAR9kvjDzE An unconventional car chase but an ingenious one where hostage takers Mr. Parker and Mr. Longbaugh (Ryan Phillippe and Benicio Del Toro) are pursued by the emotionless bodyguards, Jeffers and Obecks (Taye Diggs and Nicky Katt) who are tasked with retrieving their employer€™s surrogate mother. Although possibly the slowest car chase in cinematic history, it is still one of the most nail-biting. Parker and Longbaugh evade their foe by walking their car through alleyways (like you would a skateboard) and diving into doorways, only to re-emerge elsewhere enabling them to distance themselves from their fooled pursuers. The chase culminates in Jeffers and Obecks rounding a corner only to be met with the tail end of their targets car. They are battered and bruised, and Parker and Longbaugh are free to flee. But not before Parker decides to walk up to the written-off car and aim his gun at Jeffers€™ head purposefully. He then turns and leaves. Parker€™s point? Making them realise they are not just battered and bruised, but well and truly beaten as well.
