Also known as The Sicilian Cross, not a great movie but some great sequences.. R | Gross:

You know what makes the best car chase movies kick ass? Eventually this resulted in movies which are not much more than a series of linked car chases, such as the 1974 film Gone in 60 Seconds, which culminated in a 40-minute car chase scene with multiple crashes (some of them unplanned, real accidents) and a 30-foot-high, 128-feet-long airborne jump over crashed cars that block a road.

Director: John Wick is a revenge movie, and it is this car chase scene in which he (just about) accomplishes that revenge.

Again, destruction and continuing through destruction is one of the hallmarks of a great car chase scene. | Wick accomplishes all this without setting foot outside of his car (until he has no other choice), which becomes another weapon in his deadly arsenal. Crime, Drama. Roger Moore, It’s one of the quintessential LA chases, making use of the city’s wide-open spaces almost as brilliantly as its predecessor did the claustrophobic intensity of the NY streets.
