A long time ago we took a poll asking what was the best car movie ever made that involved a Porsche? That got me to thinking about car chases involving Porsches so I started surfing around on YouTube this weekend and found the video you see below. It’s a clip from Against All Odds featuring Jeff Bridges (in the 911) and James Wood (in the 308) as they race down West Sunset Boulevard between Roxbury Drive and South Beverly Glen Boulevard and along Holmby Hills. While it looks like they were racing on an open street, the production team actually closed the road in 15-minute intervals in order to safely shoot the scene. Apparently, when the film was first released, the race scene was so popular that many audience members were returning to see the film several times just to watch it again. I’ve never seen the movie, but now that I’ve seen the chase I think I might grab it on Amazon Prime.
So, what’s your favorite Porsche chase scene and why? Let us know in the comments below!
