if the op was referring to car chases, i'd go with roy scheider's chase in the seven up's or the part in the real mad max where he scatters the bikes and one of the bad guys is skidding across the pavement and takes a bike to the head. i've never figured out how anyone survived those scenes in real life.
If memory serves me, Steve Mqueen passed the same green Volkswagen bug 3 times in bullit.
One of the mistakes I saw. I think I counted 4 times. Also a cream colored Pontiac showed up a couple times. His Mustang had dirt on it when he started, but was clean by the time the chase got underway.
Bill Hickman was the Charger driver, you gotta' love his expression. He was a real stunt driver and drove in "The French Connection" as well.

I like Bullet but seems like the attraction of the throaty sounding Mustang may be why it's liked so well. I think some of the chase scenes in the Jason Bourne movies are just as exciting.
Bullitt, Seven Ups, French Connection, All of those movies done with stunt drivers and not Computers. Hell even the scenes from street racing in American Graffiti and The Hollywood Knights are vastly superior than the video game crap we get these days.
That 68 Charger RT (440 not 426) kept running down the 390 Mustang GT so easy in that chase you can see it after you have watched it a few dozen times like I have!

Gumball Rally indeed. Own that one...the sound of the Cobra and the Ferrari echoing off of the buildings in New York are pretty freaking awesome.
Cannonball Runs were both silly but have some good car stuff in them and are still entertaining. Farrah Faucett dodging the proctologist exam from Jack Elam ect. Have to smile at that good Dr.

All three of those movies had Bill Hickman at the wheel of one of those cars.

HitnRun: Having survived (thank you GOD!) about 100 high speed chases in my 29 year police career I still prefer the hub-cap flyin off chase scene in "Bullit"! Gives me goose-bumps every time I see it. But for funsies I just love laughing at the chase sequence in "Blues Brothers"! Lots of folks don't get the cops all showing no regard for the property damage done to innocents along the way but several of them acclaiming "damn my watch is broke" after they crash! That's an inside police joke where-in the watches we were required to wear were always getting "broken" in the "line of duty" and thus we could put in a claim to the city for a new watch. I hear on the radio broadcast of Rush Limbaugh virtually every day during commercial breaks that there were over 150 cars destroyed in the filming of "Blues Brothers" - I don't know for sure but I would have loved to have worked on that movie - had to have been a blast.

No. Back in those days, every hippie living in San Francisco had a Volkwagon Bug and many of them were green. All over the place, so to speak. Green matched the color of their weed.

'Bullitt' Mustang has no pony emblem or driving lights on the grill, no GT badges on fenders or fuel cap, no Mustang lettering on the tail, completely devoid of all markings.

I met Ben Johnson, he was Marshall for a 6K fun run to kick off the Houston Rodeo. He fired a double barrel shotgun to start the race. I was 40 then. I made it in 42 minutes, right behind the fastest 60 old woman.
mmmm........"Drive" comes to mind with the chase between the Mustang and Chrysler 300C was good though owning a 300C I did not like the ending! also "Taken" another non car one is "Last of the Mohicans" ..
