Cars in Movies
I'm pretty sure everyone who is reading this has seen movies such as The Bourne Identity, Goldfinger, or Bullitt. Not only are all three of these movies action-based, they all involve great car chases and are famous for them. The chase scene in Bullitt is considered to be the best car chase of any movie. Personally, I think the one in The Bourne Identity is a little better, mainly because it looks realistic, and no cars explode when they get hit. The cars are also an important part of creating a good chase scene, and in the case of Goldfinger, it doesn't get much better. A 1964 Aston Martin DB5 was used in the making of this classic film, and it was specially modified with many gadgets, such as a bullet deflector, passenger ejector seat, and dual machine-guns under the headlights. It was first driven by Sean Connery, and was used in the latest James Bond Film, Skyfall. It was eventually auctioned for a ridiculous $4.1 million, which is even more than a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. The chase scene in Bullitt featured a 1968 Ford Mustang GT and a '68 Dodge Charger R/T driving through the hills of San Francisco, which is the perfect setting for the perfect cars. But some cars are in many movies, such as the Mini Cooper, which has starred in movies such as The Italian Job (1969 and 2003 versions) and The Bourne Identity. But there are so many different cars that have been in countless films, like the Mazda MX-5 Miata.
