Also, The French Connection doesn't feature a car chase. It has Gene Hackman driving like he's high through NYC trying to catch an elevated train. [Sticks out tongue in snooty pedanticism]
Your'e right, thats normal driving in NYC.
Still, a very good sequence, and one of the vehicles was a car chasing some one on another mode of transportation. By definition, that is a car chase.Edit: What Stuffy Grammarian said.
1. Kirth, didn't you say something about being an engineer?
2. America's infrastructure remains safe in the hands of a mind that anal...
1. Them's fightin' words! I'm a hydrogeologist, not an engineer!
Joke: Did you hear about the engineers in a bar who were trying to rile up the hydrogeologist at the next table?"Oh really, hmmm, didn't know that," replied the hydrogeologist.
Puzzled, the engineer walked back to his buddies. "I told him Henry Darcy was a girly-man, and he didn't care."
The 2nd engineer remarked, "Well, this'll get his goat."
So, the 2nd engineer walked over to the hydrogeologist, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I hear your Henry Darcy was a transvestite!"
"Oh really, hmmm, didn't know that."
Shocked beyond belief, the engineer went back to his buddies. "You're right. He's unaffected!"
The 3rd engineer remarked, "You just don't know how to set him off...watch carefully." So the 3rd engineer walked over to the hydrogeologist, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "I hear Henry Darcy was an engineer!"
The hydrogeologist looked up at him and replied, "Yeah, that's what your buddies were trying to tell me all this time."
2. Language can be a scalpel, not a bludgeon!
OK, who can get from Dr. No to Swordfish in 5 jumps or less without using Halle Berry? Hint: You can do it in 2-3 jumps if TV shows are allowed.
Sean Connery played with Nick Cage in The Rock.
Nick Cage played with John Travolta in Face/Off
/amidoinitrite?
Big Trouble in Little China to My Cousin Vinny in 5 jumps or less.
rpgsavant -- Nicely done! Another possibility would be Dr. No - Joseph Wiseman - Crime Story - Dennis Farina - Get Shorty - Travolta - Swordfish.
In response to your challenge:
1. 20,000 Miles to Graceland - Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner
2. The Untouchables - Costner, De Nero
3. Goodfellas - DeNero, Joe Pesci
4. My Cousin Vinny - Pesci.
Try Bullitt to Unforgiven.
Easy peasy.

Is "none of the above" a valid vote?
Sure, Michael Bay has inflicted some overwrought schlock action, but Ridley Scott scarred my childhood with Alien. I think my parents were imagining it would be like Star Wars, just a little scarier.
Ouch.
I'll give it to Ridley; at least he made a lasting impact!
Favorite Drew Barrymore role?
Chuck Barris's wife in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Do you enjoy the films of Charlie Kaufman?

Since I'm thinking of actors who are short on stature but long on talent, what's your favorite sappy movie about airplanes and fighting forest fires?
Can't think of one, loaba, but a question for you, that doesn't count towards the game:
Why does anyone like Robert Redford, if that person is not (a) a female, or (b) a homesexual male? I can't figure it out, but there must be a reason, because a lot of people do.

I didn't mind The Reford in Sneakers and while I may get blacklisted for it, I rather enjoyed Out of Africa as well. I dunno, I guess I'm secure enough in my masculinity to A.) putt with a pink ball and B.) and watch a Redford vehicle now and again. :)
1. Falls from balcony, fall broken by awning, lands on feet unhurt and starts walking away, only to be mauled by random lion -- The Naked Gun 2 1/2.
2. Falls and is trampled by marching bands, steamrollers, etc. -- The Naked Gun.
3. Wheelchair in the smokestack, For Your Eyes Only.
Honorable mention: Mook in On Her Majesty's Secret Service who skiis off a cliff in the Alps; Bond spends like 10 minutes watching him fall, then cocks an ear to see if he can hear him land.
