The Gumball Rally http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gumball_Rally Why is this film not on the list? Personally, I think a lot of the inclusions in the list, particularly in the recent years, don't qualify as 'car chase films'. Having a car chase in the film does not mean it's included in a genre that is by and large not used by directors at present. Yak sox (talk) 02:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Lets not forget the BMW films

This article sucks

It's chock-full of OR. Someone who cares, help me with this. AniRaptor2001 02:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The Junkman" movie

The movie The Junkman could probably be mentioned, as the movie in itself is a kind of giant car chase. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.219.171.178 (talk) 14:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cost to State?

Was cost to state fictional or real? If it's real, could it possibly be mentioned in this article?Drakonis (talk) 21:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Mcq.JPG

Image:Mcq.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image File:Burninrubber4.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum

this movie takes place in Classical Rome, before there were cars, so I doubt there is a car chase. can anyone confirm? 67.176.160.47 (talk) 05:18, 22 March 2010 (UTC) Since when was their are car chase is Teasure Planet? THeirs no cars! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.65.160.238 (talk) 01:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

POV issues

The article discusses the various risks to police officers during these chases, but overlooks the criticism directed as police for recklessly endangering the lives of innocent civilians in pursuit of fleeing criminals. 70.153.123.240 (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance issue

Is the fact that there were 700 pursuits in 2002 in Los Angeles really relevant? This is a world-wide subject and any data therefore should have a much wider scope than a city. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsurfer04 (talkcontribs) 21:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great Article Status declared

You know, this is a great article. It has zero encylopedic merit, and it's just a bunch of non-third party OR information. But - I wanted to know about the first car chases in movies, I came to this article, and I learned a crapload. People should think about how articles like this add tremendous value to WP as they consider how to govern the project. Thanks to all who edited this, you have done the world a great service!!! 198.101.67.68 (talk) 00:54, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
