Greatest Car Chases in Science Fiction

Fifth Element “car” chase

Charlie Anders, from the io9 blog, published a very insightful list (in two parts) of the best car chases in Sci-Fi movies. Every movie chosen comes with a description and it’s own video. Why not pay them a visit?

“Car chases are a huge part of sci-fi movies. And with Knight Rider coming back next month, we want to pay tribute. After all, no matter how high-concept your plot may be (like time travel and brain-transplants) it always comes down to a bunch of cars zooming around trying to smush each other. Here’s part one of our favorites, with clips.

Car chases are woven deep into the DNA of movies, says crime writer Elmore Leonard. We invented cars and movies at around the same time, and both experiences are about speed, exhilaration and technophilia. And you can’t write a good car chase — you have to film it. With explosions and crazy weird vehicles.”
