I believe that there was also another great car chase scene in a movie called The Seven Ups.
Yes-You are right. That sequence ends with Roy Scheider crashing into the back of a truck-Very Cool!

GREAT chases, but none beats The Blues Brothers. You beat me to it. I agree that has to be the best car chase ever.

I bought a book about cars in movies a few years ago, and found a couple of interesting tidbits: First, though McQueen was an avid car collector and race driver, he didn't drive that Mustang in all the scenes. When you see him in the car, he's driving. But in the scenes that don't show McQueen, a stunt driver is behind the wheel.
Second, Bill Hickman, the driver of the Dodge Charger that was pursuing McQueen's Mustang (and ended up becoming the pursued) was a real stunt driver. Ironically, he showed up in a speaking role in "The French Connection" as Bill Mulderig, the Federal agent who gets on Hackman's case and who's shot by Hackman at the end. But he didn't drive the car in that chase scene.
