There have been many memorable car chase and crash-em-up scenes in popular movies and TV shows throughout the decades. In an effort to provide boredom therapy, what car chase and/or crash scenes do you recall from totally obscure movies or TV shows? The more obscure, the better  . I had to dig DEEP to find this, a small snippet from a much longer chase and crash sequence involving many mid-'70s lead sleds!

| I don't have a video, but note that "Gone in 60 Seconds" (1974) is known for having wrecked and destroyed 93 cars in a 40-minute car chase scene. |

Sweet 1973 Moto Guzzi Eldorado's the cops have. I ride a '72 Ambassador that looks just like those.
