An editor spent hours splicing together the greatest car chases from more than a dozen films, Bullitt, The French Connection, Vanishing Point, Mad Max, and beyond, into one continuous five-minute sequence. The result plays like an entire decade of practical stunt driving compressed into a single unbroken chase. Watch to see how many of these iconic films you can spot.
A 1970 Dodge Challenger chases down a 1968 Dodge Charger in this scene from the largely forgotten 1997 television remake of Vanishing Point, built around the famous line, It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar. Decades later, Mopar fans in the comments are still debating whether the movie’s own premise actually holds up, and still wincing at exactly what happens to the Charger. Watch to see whether badge loyalty was ever really the deciding factor.
Ted Stephens owns all five surviving screen-used Dodge Challengers from the 1997 TV remake of Vanishing Point — the only ones left, since every car from the original 1971 film has been destroyed. His favorite of the five, a white 1970 Challenger RT, hides a detail almost no movie car ever gets: a genuine HEMI under the hood instead of a stunt-friendly substitute. It’s a piece of film history most fans don’t even know exists.
A 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T runs from a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T through the 1997 TV remake of Vanishing Point, in a chase Mopar fans still quote decades later: it takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar. One commenter goes further, sharing his own story of running a real 1970 Challenger 440 R/T to 120 mph on an empty highway in 1973, and what actually happened to the car’s aerodynamics at that speed. Watch the chase that keeps getting passed around on its own.
