Dood, you HAVE to see this movie. The getaway at the end is more than worth the price!

All I saw was the last 15 minutes. Pretty good. I'd have to give the nod to the chase scene in Ronin, though.

Msybe someday I'll get a DVD player. :gomer:

Ronin tops all. I just rewatched it the other day with some friends and noticed they wrecked an Alfa! :eek:

The chase scene in Ronin is incredible, but let's not forget that The Italian Job was filmed in 1969.

What's the deal here? Have you forgotten that Le Mans was released on DVD this past April?

I don't care how spectacular a chase scene is, it can't compare to the race footage (a large percentage shot by amateurs) from this 1971 classic!

That movie got its spotlight at the time! ;)

Can't say that I saw it but I have a hard time believing its better than the chase in Bullit.

I watched Bullitt yesterday and I'll have to say that Ronin was better. Like Mapguy said, filming techniques and special effects have improved quite a bit over the last 30 years, but I'll still have to pick Ronin.

Also, has anyone bought/seen any of the Duke Video series? They're great. Here's a lo-res sample of an in-car 956/Derek Hill vid:
