#7- Car Chase in "Gone in 60 Seconds"
The movie as a whole throws you through a loop. A bad guy does bad things and gets in trouble with bad people. Then a reformed bad guy (Randall Raines, aka. Nicholas "I can't really act" Cage) becomes bad again to save the aforementioned bad guy from bad people. And we're supposed to cheer for him...why?
But we do when this chase scene begins. Somehow we just want Randall to get away with stealing the frickin' awesome '67 Ford Mustang (a rare Shelby custom). And of course, it's totally tricked out with nitro, drives like a dream with it's brandnew tires and luckily came equipped with a never-ending tank of gas. Sidebar: I have '67 Ford Mustang with a 289 engine rather than the at-least 350 that thing was sporting. And it spewed gas like lactose-intolerant kid after four scoops of ice cream.
After watching this scene, you'd better believe I got into my '67 Ford Mustang (a standard coupe, not a Shelby--we can't be too picky when living out our fantasys), and blasted . When I got on the highway, I had that thing riding high in the RPM, trying to recreate the awesome growling "Elenor" makes in the scene.
Nope didn't get pulled over. I guess I'd learned how to escape the cops too.
Oh and look here
