All-Time Best Car Crash Movie Scenes

Post by dkrank »

I recently read an article on the top 7 car crash scenes in Hollywood (https://www.felixgonzalezlaw.com/blog/7 ... accidents/) and one of the scenes from Mad Max made the cut. It got me thinking about what I would have included if I had made the list.

I was just curious to hear other's thoughts as well. In your opinion, what are some of the best car crash scenes in movies?

I miss Gone in 60 seconds (the original) in this list. Very good and realistic chases and crashes.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

Mmm ... also the climax of the first Fast & Furious seems like a pretty definitive crash scene now, too.
