The Driver (Walter Hill, 1978) The Getaway

The first of three amazing car chases from Walter Hill's crime classic, "The Driver". With Ryan O' Neal as The Driver.

The second chase/audition/demolition scene is already up elsewhere on Youtube.

The third... well, you should just see the film yourself.

Brilliant. Hollywood can't make films as good anymore. Check out James Caan in "Thief" if you like this type of classic film.
