I cannot lay claims to have seen every car chase in every movie worldwide but a short while ago I was fortunate to catch a screening of the Movie "Ronin" Directed by John Schlessinger and starrng Robert Di Niro.
The main sequences were filmed in the narow streets of Nice and then there is an amazing sequence which seemed to go on forever on the main thoroughfares of Paris.
Most of the action is against the flow of the traffic, with crashes, narrow escapes, multiple vehicle smashes, crashes in tunnels, all done at high speed and extremely well covered.
If you have ever driven in Paris, even with the flow of traffic then it would seem to be insane to drive against it at high speed.
Only six drivers were credited at the end of the film.Well done to all of them.
If anyone has ever seen a better car chase in a kovie then please let me know.
