The most watched car chase in the movies of all time was the opening car
chase of Baby driver with just over 176 million views across the 5 top
videos, the most viewed video has 87 million views alone. Director Edgar
Wright has commented that he imagined the scene as a “musical version of a
bank robbery and car chase�??. And that is just what he gave us. Backed by
the rock group Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s Bellbottoms, the chase sees
Ansel Elgort escape the law by performing improvised stunts in his red
Chevrolet Impala.
The second most-watched movie car chase was the truck chase from Terminator
2: Judgment Day with 129 million views across 2 videos. The truck chase
scene involved miles of cables and some jaw-dropping pyrotechnics. For the
motorbike jump alone, a 1991 Harley-Davidson Fatboy was attached to 5
separate wires so that it swung in the air. The scene involved the T-1000
in a large truck hunting John Connor on a dirt bike with the Terminator in
pursuit.
The Matrix Reloaded chase earns the third top spot for most viewed car
chase on YouTube. Its freeway fight reaches a total of 62.6 million views
across 7 top videos. The most-watched of these 7 has been seen 35 million
times. To accommodate the car chase, the movie’s directors, the Wachowskis,
impressively built their own 1.25-mile-long highway for a whopping $2.5
million. The filming of this chase was so intense that none of the actors
involved came away without an injury.
Further study insights:
-
Transformers - Dark of the moon is the movie that has destroyed the most
cars with a total of 532 cars destroyed.
-
The critics favourite movie is both Back to the Future and American
Graffiti with a Metacritic rating of 97 out of 100.
