10 Scariest Car Scenes Of All Time
3. Hanging On The Car Hood - Death Proof
Quentin Tarantino wanted Death Proof to end with the greatest car chase of all time. It may be debatable whether it's the best car chase but it's definitely one of the most heart-pounding scenes ever.
In the climax, a stuntwoman called Zoe takes a 1970 Dodge Challenger for a test drive. While her friends drive it at top speed, she plays a game called Ship's Mast, where she rides on the hood while holding onto seatbelts to ensure she doesn't slide off.
Suddenly, a maniac called Stuntman Mike deliberately crashes into the Challenger repeatedly, hoping to knock Zoe off. At first, she holds onto the seatbelts for dear life, hoping not to end up as a stain on the road. But as the chase continues, Zoe has nothing to hold onto, meaning that any knock her car receives could cause her to fall to her doom.
Despite the fact the stunt co-ordinators took every safety measure for this sequence, you can't stop your heart from racing while watching this scene since you can clearly see the actress was in genuine danger from start to finish.
