Beginning with the pacesetting automotive pyrotechnics first brought to the screen in Bullitt, Jesse Crosse shows us the world's great filmmakers following suit--stretching creative talents, technology, budgets, and sometimes credibility to create the most amazing car chase sequences ever filmed. // "New York Times, "Dec. 10, 2006 "Once you read this very entertaining book, you will risk your ability to suspend disbelief the next time you watch a movie car chase. Of course, after trying to cross town (any town) in a hurry, you already know that without a great deal of help, Frank Bullitt and the likes of Popeye Doyle would have been dead or severely injured in the first minutes of their famous chases. This book gives some reasons they weren't." SPEEDTV.com, May 1, 2006 "Before you even OPEN "The Greatest Movie Car Chases of All Time," you know you're in for something special. The dust jacket shows 'bad guy' Bill Hickman launching his 1968 Dodge Charger R/T above the streets of San Francisco. This book may just be 'Number One ... with a Bullitt' (bad pun totally intended). "OK, I'm hooked. Author Jesse Crosse is uniquely qualified to bring his Top 20 list of the greatest car chases of all time. He is an automotive writer and former racer ... and a film buff to boot. "[The book] is divided into seven well-researched chapters ... with Chapter 8 being the payoff ... The Top 20 Car Chase Films of all time." –– GLÖM INTE ATT TITTA PÅ ALLA MINA ANDRA BÖCKER!
