whether they’re impressive or
destructive these automotive feats are
hard to look away from welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 best car
stunts in movies before we begin this
video is made in partnership with
Sotheby’s if you’re interested in seeing
more videos of amazing and unique cars
subscribe to Sotheby’s on YouTube for
this list we’re looking at the
groundbreaking car stunts both
individual and sequences that wowed
viewers we’re basing our picks on a mix
of filming difficulty the dangers
involved and most importantly just how
amazing each stunt looked on screen
obviously some CGI is allowed but for
the most part we’re focusing on stunts
that were created via practical means
while stunt crews survived these
harrowing feats not all their characters
did so a spoiler alert is in order
number 10 the dread-nots death race
release the dread-nots during the second
day of this high-octane deadly racing
event the dastardly warden unleashes her
secret weapon the dread-nots this
armored tanker truck is armed to the
grill with everything it could need to
take racers down including machine guns
flamethrowers and rockets heck it’s even
got a tank turret the race for first
place becomes a scramble to survive as
the tanker reeks motorized havoc as the
story goes the film stunt coordinators
suggested miniatures but director Paul
WS Anderson insisted on keeping things
to scale the crew even carried out a
rehearsal crash just to get the tankers
we added to it the exact same number
nine car driving through shantytown
police story when a police sting goes
awry the whole neighborhood pays the
price in an effort to escape the gang
members drive their car through a
shantytown and we mean through it with
the police in pursuit
both cars become wrecking balls and
small explosions can be seen every few
seconds the neighborhood is quickly
reduced to rubble as these two vehicles
ripped through one house after another
as if they’re all made of paper the
driving is so visceral you can even see
the windshield of one car break in first
person the unbelievable coordination
involved and sheer audacity of this
stunt has earned police story great
number eight parachute drop Furious 7
oh yeah here we go game time to rescue a
hacker from evil hands DOM and Brian get
their crew to parachute cars out of a
plane while the scene may seem like
something straight out of a cartoon the
cars were really dropped out of a c-130
and filmed by parachutist surround them
to make the cars land correctly they set
up two cranes and a pulley system that
allowed them to hit the ground running
the actors were the only major digital
addition otherwise Tyreese and company
likely would have needed some adult
diapers putting some adult diapers in
your glove comply you kill out man
thanks to the bravery of both flying and
ground crews the scene took car stunts
to new heights and left us gasping for
air
number seven Mustang chase scene need
in the race to make it to San Francisco
Toby and Julia blazed through the
streets of Detroit dangerously fast as
Toby backs out of an alleyway he pulls a
180 while a cop car is totaled by
traffic with Mavericks serving as his
eyes in the sky that’s just a small
taste of what this sequence has to offer
Toby also employs a full 360 spin to
artfully dodge a police car you may want
to close your eyes for this even the
simplest stunts are made more impressive
considering the fact that Aaron Paul did
the majority of his own driving for the
film the massive grasshopper jump which
Paul decidedly didn’t perform himself
number six mini heist the Italian Job
[Music]
to pull off a spectacular heist Charlie
& Company used mini coopers to go where
other getaway vehicles can’t the crew
raced down flights of stairs that would
make Jason Bourne nervous before quickly
zipping through crowded malls after
dodging pedestrians through tunnels and
even jumping over a few rooftops
they finally move outside the city where
the Cooper’s take a shortcut across a
dam before losing the cops and some
narrow sewers thanks to the insane
driving and planning of stunts genius
remedies in the end the chase still
holds up today
Charlie’s gang even ends the heist by
driving their cars right onto a bus
[Music]
number 5 truck flip The Dark Knight
there’s a bat when the Joker embarks on
a joyride from Hell in a big rig Batman
steps in and plays a game of chicken
with the maniacal villain The Joker
thinks that his nemesis has missed but
he should know better Batman never
misses the Dark Knight’s nifty little
maneuver tethers the truck causing it to
flip over itself though many directors
would use CGI to film something like
this in a city Christopher Nolan
insisted on achieving it through
practical effects the solution was a
gigantic piston under the truck which
they edited out in post-production the
resulting flip is a jaw-dropping sight
and earned stunt driver Jim Wilkie
plenty of Pat’s on the back for his
commitment number 4 Aston Martin flips
James Bond is driving desperately to
find Vesper Lynd when she appears on the
road ahead of him to avoid hitting her
bond veers off the road in what can only
unfortunately the car refused to roll
naturally so the crew had to build a
larger ramp and use a piston to get it
airborne they even got the car going 75
miles an hour for their final run sure
enough these various efforts combined to
result in an even more impressive crash
than anyone could have imagined the
outrageous seven rules actually
outperformed Top Gear and landed
stuntman Adam Curley in the Guinness
Book of World Records number three the
when Frank bullet spots hitmen on his
trail he gives chase in the
pulse-pounding sequence that follows
their cars beer around San Francisco’s
many hills barely making their turns as
Steve McQueen tells it the vehicles were
allegedly slamming down at 100 miles per
hour bumping into one another and
falling apart from the stream of course
a car coming at that speed if you lose
it and spin it the men are in great
jeopardy
the extended runtime and unpredictable
nature of the scene makes first stunt
drive that taken as a whole is just as
impressive as one monumental stunt a
vicious and visceral chase the high
speeds and crashes make this a sequence
that could have ended fatally in less
skilled hands
[Music]

amazing and unique cars like a 1962
Ferrari 250 GTO number 2 the barrel roll
over the bridge the man with the Golden
Gun Bank to catch the evil Scaramanga
bond decides to take a shortcut on the
back roads of Thailand with a protesting
share of pepper in tow bond hits a
rickety bridge and jumps across in a
perfect corkscrew rotation regardless of
its effortless look nailing a 270 degree
spin proved harder than a 360 one the
roll was so precise that it became the
first car stunt to be largely computer
modeled in invents the crews hard work
allowed them to nail the stunt on their
first take why such a monumental
achievement in stunts was paired with
that silly slide whistle is anyone’s
guess neither by actually before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
