Our Favorite Porsche Chase Scenes
This past weeks release of The Belgrade Phantom in Amsterdam has us thinking about other great Porsche Chase scenes. The film, based during soviet-era Serbia, revolves around Vlada Vasiljevic, who stole a white Porsche 911, using it to torment police over a 10 day period. The feature includes some amazing chase sequences:
Exciting! But what about other great car chases from film history, starring the Porsche? Here’s a few which stand out in our minds:
Bad Boys
Sorry about the poor video quality, but it’s hard to get anything produced by Fox on YouTube. This 90’s classic shows off the driving (and stereotyping) skills of both Will “The Fresh Prince” Smith and Martin “Martin” Lawrence. It’s without a doubt my personal favorite Porsche chase.
No Man’s Land
A big dud from the 80’s features A-Lister Charlie Sheen and B-Lister DB Sweeney as two grifting car thieves. They lead cops on a car chase in Southern California, spouting badly scripted puns the entire way.
Miami Vice
Buddy cops chasing a Porsche 910 through Miami streets – ok it’s TV not film, but Michael Mann is always good for an action sequence or two.
Real Porsche Chase (Music on vid is NSFW)
This apparent “real” high speed pursuit between cops in Stockholm and a runaway 911 took place last year.
Highway Racer
A little known Italian film from the 70’s features great sequences, a tight finish and lots of terrible “try not to look at the camera, just stare out into space” moments.
