speaking of "chase scenes", has also been some GREAT (and at times very funny) ones in some of the James Bond movies over the years. Live and Let Die (1973) with Roger Moore as Bond had the boat chase thru the Louisiana Bayou with the comic touch of Clifton James as Sheriff J.W. Pepper. GoldenEye (1995) with Pierce Brosnan as Bond has the "tank chase" thru St. Petersburg, Russia and The World Is Not Enough (1999), also with Brosnan, opens was the boat chase on the Thames River in London which had some of the BEST stunts I have ever seen in a Bond film or anywhere else

Bond should be a separate category! All started with that beautiful DB5............
Bond:"Ejector seat! You're joking!"
Q:"I never joke about my work, 007."
Chase in France w/Roger Moore (View To A Kill) going across double decker bus top, landing, getting plowed into but keeps going because it's front wheel drive was pretty good, too.
I'll tell you what. Soon as I saw Steve McQueen come out of a cornfield and get into a Mustang.................I had to have one!

perhaps THE Bond stunt was in the opening of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) when Roger Moore as Bond escapes an ambush by Soviet agents in Austria killing one during a downhill ski chase and escaping via a Union Flag parachute. the transition from skies to parachute was performed by Hollywood stuntman and "base jumper" Rick Sylvester from Canada's Mount Asgard. it is STILL one of the most spectacular openings to a Bond movie
btw, there will NEVER EVER be another "Q" as good as the late Desmond Llewelyn (1914 – 2000) who played Q in 17 different Bond films from 1963 in From Russia with Love thru 1999 in The World Is Not Enough. a GREAT Welsh actor who imbraced doing one role extremely well. RIP, "Q"
