    I just remember watching that movie and seeing an empty shell of an E36 fly off of a parking deck. It was very obvious that there wasn't an engine or tranny in that car.

    the guy that choreographed the Blues Bros chase scenes did a ton of car flicks in the 70's and early 80's. what the hell is his name and what other movies did he work with?
    nice call pEd.

    Chan actually drove a SUBARU. I think it was supposed to be electric or something.

    Deathproof!

    I second Blues Brothers, just for sheer volume of destruction.

    As bad as it was, the newer Dukes of Hazzard movie had some kickass scenes with the General ripping up Atlanta (not to mention willie nelson and Broken Lizard).

    oh, and definitely Herbie Fully Loaded.
