Which chase is more macho? (Thanks to SylvreKat for the inspiration for todays topic.)
The chase from The Blues Brothers
The chase from The Road Warrior
The chase from Bullitt

Jake & Elwood. What's more macho than being on a mission from "Gad" in a police cruiser?  |

This is a tough one for me.
Bullitt, well there's a definite macho in that one-on-one car chase.
Road Warrior (ignoring the horrible music patched over it, plus the cruddy hacking out of parts) is epic in the hugeness of its scale. Plus its sheer variety of attacks and destruction.
Blues Brothers has that awesome tune (yes, now I'm talking music), plus the utter casualness of Jake and Elwood's comments--"Baby clothes. They got everything in here." etc.
Gonna' have to pass for now and let this simmer a bit. Hmm.....

Road Warrior. I liked that kid that had the boomerang with a sharp blade on it. It made me want a gyrocopter, too.
Bullit had the most macho cars in it.

Well, I really thought about this. Bullitt's chase is out. It really wasn't THAT much different than any other good Hollywood car chase.
The indifference and casualness of Blues Brothers' chase, plus that music, makes the chase pure pleasure.
The epicness of Road Warrior's final chase in running for probably a good third of the film, plus the little details and the variety and the Feral Kid, makes it something more than just another chase.
I have to vote MM. Guess grandeur outdoes fun.
