car chases
High-speed movie sequences
Car chases are high-speed pursuits involving vehicles, whether police pursuing suspects or rivals pursuing each other.
The term most often refers to the cinematic set piece—an extended action sequence featuring vehicles weaving through traffic, crashing through obstacles, and defying physics: The movie has three car chases and nothing else.
Real police chases are broadcast live on local news, especially in Los Angeles.
