It’s a known fact that some of the worst movies in existence feature some of the best car chases ever created. Films like Bullitt, Vanishing Point, The Wraith and To Live and Die In L.A. are terrible from a script standpoint. However add in a good car chase, and BOOM! Instant classic. The following is a montage of some of the best chases ever recorded on film and I’ve got to say that the way it was put together is pretty damn impressive.

Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy. Two Spocks of different eras brought together for a battle of speed and wits in Audi’s new commercial for the 420 horsepower S7 sedan . Quinto, our new Spock, returns for his second film in the upcoming “Star Trek: Into Darkness”, while Nimoy is a veteran of seven motion pictures and will forever be our #1 Spock. And while Quinto adds a wonderfully youthful flair to the character, let’s just say that there’s no replacement for tried and true experience.

Admit it, you can’t get enough of The Fast and the Furious movies. Sure they’re filled with loads of vehicular nonsense, but quite honestly, who cares. The cars are awesome, the chicks are hot and the action is nonstop from start to finish. In the upcoming Fast & Furious 6, Toretto and crew are headed over seas for some more smash and grabs. This time however Vin Diesel is piloting an odd looking version of a 1969 Dodge Daytona as opposed to his beloved 1970 Charger. Will it be good – who knows? But one things for sure, we’ll be watching. Check out some spectator shot behind the scenes footage after the jump.

If you consider yourself a car enthusiast and have never seen the post-apocalyptic film “The Road Warrior” then there’s something seriously wrong with you. The film was made when Mel Gibson was still normal, fuel was cheap and muscle cars still kicked-ass. In the movie there were two main characters, Max and the Lord Humongous, Ruler of the Wasteland and the Iatola of Rock-N-Rolla’. Now in the film the Lord Humongous eats it at the end, but what if he hadn’t – what would’ve happened if he just brushed off the dust and continued on his merry way? Click through to find out.

Ah yes, the 1970′s. A time when fashion was awful, smog regulations were in full swing and car chases in films were made of gold. The following chase comes from the film Cleopatra Jones. The story of secret government agent who moonlights as a fashion model (not making this up) and drives a late ’60′s Corvette. This chase is filled with so much cinematic awesomeness it’s frightening. From the dubbed-over sounds from Bullitt, to the shifting from park to drive while the cars moving, Cleopatra Jones may just contain the campiest car chase I’ve ever seen. Take a look after the jump and let us know what you think.

It’s the red headed step child of the muscle car world. A car that, when new, garnered absolutely no respect, no praise and absolutely no real fans. Today however it’s one of the most valuable, and rarest cars to ever come out of the 1960′s. I speak of course about the Dodge Daytona, that winged-warrior that decimated every other car in NASCAR competition. Now 43 years after its release and the biggest automotive movie franchise in history has finally taken notice. That’s right people, a 1969 Dodge Daytona will now be gracing the big screens in “FAST AND THE FURIOUS 6″. Click through to check out a clip.
