Default The ultimate scene
Could not agree more. Even the "French Connection" sequence is pale by comparison. Cal--what's this about mixed doubles partner's BOYFRIEND!? Whaddat? It should be along the lines of"Here's to our wives and girlfriends..may they never meet.." And don't sweat being "old"---I GRADUATED from collitch in '68! In fact today, I nearly sliced a finger in two---and, while waiting for Nurse Ratchet, counted the rings, and.....I'm actually older than most of the trees in my yard!
Back to the chase---my wife (not girlfirend) drive a VW camperbus (now there's a road-rocket...hmmm?) down Lombard Street---back when one could do so legally.
Kudos to you...you're right on the money with McQueen and THE chase scene.
