10 Most Intense Car Chases In Movie History

Being a franchise so dependent on its killer vehicles, Mad Max has to have amazing chase scenes. However, none of Mel Gibson's original run comes close to the anarchic thrill ride of Mad Max: Fury Road.

The chase in question has got to be the one that finally unites Max and Furiosa as they escape Immortan Joe with his wives. Each enemy is treated as mere fodder in this scene, they serve only to try and hamper or sabotage the ceaseless pursuit of the War Rig through the sand dunes as they throw themselves at the giant truck with reckless abandon.

Lurid stunt jumps, a continuously stirring score and pinpoint accurate shoot-outs with the pursuers makes for a truly pulse-pounding chase through Mad Max's sandblasted apocalyptic landscape.

This scene is important narratively speaking too; it shows us just how good of a team Furiosa and Max are going to be, even if they are really only working together out of pure survival. Ultimately, this is a top-level action scene, delivering truly edge-of-your-seat thrills through expert stunt choreography, the looming threat of horrendous fascist dictator Immortan Joe, and a great attention to continuity and detail at every turn.
