Drive It Like You Stole It: The most ridiculous car chases in cinema history

Bullitt.

The French Connection.

Ronin.

All classic car chases, sure to fill out every single list ranking those scenes on the internet. This list doesn’t have a single one of those movies on it. Why? Because they’re not ridiculous enough. Sure, they’re great and all, but this is the week The Fate of the Furious hits theaters, and you mean to tell us that people go and see those movies because the car chases are great? Well, sure, they are, but they’re also absolutely stone-cold crazy (that bank robbery in Fast Five would have made this list if we weren’t banning all of those movies from it because it would be nothing but clips from that franchise), and last we checked, people weren’t writing about how well-shot the Siberian sequence in F8 is, they were writing about it because The Rock punches a goddamn torpedo out of his car’s way. So here’s a list of eight incredibly ludicrous and fun chase/car scenes for your entertainment.

Alluda Majaka (1995)

If you’ve been around on the internet for a while, you’ve probably seen this clip from this now-classic Tollywood film floating around for years. If you haven’t, you’re in for one hell of a treat. This is the best police chase in cinema history, and though much of it happens on horseback, there’s enough cars involved for us to feel comfortable putting on this list. Personally, we think this has more in common with the later Fast and Furious movies than any other entry on this list.
