Ad Astra's car chase on the Moon. I think it's the most unique setting so far (until some Fast and Furious sequel copies it).

Live And Let Die - Bond, speed boats, swamp.

Just watched it. Reminder: Thread is about the best chase scenes, not the worst.

First Blood or Second Blood, one of the Rambo movies, had one worse than that.

I was duly impressed by the car chase in Shoot To Kill. FBI agent after a diamond thief. The director clearly told one stunt driver, the thief, 'All the flourishes, man. Fishtailing, skidding, turns on two wheels, all the movie expectations.ç
Then to the driver of the FBI car, "No drama. As professionally as you can, do your best to stay in control AND stay within one car length of the lead car's bumper." Interesting comparing the handling of the two.

Reminds me of Duel, the Dennis Hopper, uh, vehicle.

ETA: Nope, I just did an image search. Dennis's name was "Weaver."

Star Wars VIII, the worst ever!

Admiral: Why the heck aren't we catching up to them?
Navigator: They are going as fast as we are.
Admiral: Can't we go faster?
Navigator: We are going as fast as we can.
Admiral: Really? I thought we could go faster than light speed, something like 20 parsecs or something.
Navigator: There are two max speeds, one when we travel in units of distance when going faster than light and our normal cruising speed.
Admiral: So our ships have the exact same speed?
Navigator: Yeah, it was part of the Green New Deal passed by Empress Ocasio-Cortez.
Admiral: Damn it! Now we'll never catch them. Hey, what if we go light speed for half a second.
Navigator: Can't do that.
Admiral: Why the heck not?!
Navigator: JJ Abrams.
Admiral: Damn it! Don't we have any attacking ships?
Navigator: Tens of thousands of Tie Fighters.
Admiral: Can we use them to attack? Just keep firing and blow the ship up?
Navigator: Well yeah, but again, JJ Abrams.
Admiral: Wait a second...
Navigator: Sir?
Admiral: So our Tie Fighters can go faster than we can? The power plant in this ship is the size of a small moon! But the Tie Fighter can go faster than us?!
Navigator: Well, like I said before...
Admiral: I know, I know... JJ Abrams.

To Live and Die in L.A. is an excellent movie with a great chase scene. (Yes, the young man driving the car went on to play Gil Grissom in CSI.) YouTube search shows me MANY renditions of this chase scene. Here's one: [YOUTUBE]VOK9QW21VPo[/YOUTUBE]


Does the following chase "scene" in Thailand qualify? AFAIK it wasn't staged for a movie; it was taken by a motorcycle cop while pursuing a real scofflaw.
