The Hollywood Saloon

From McQueen to Friedkin to The Blues Brothers to Bourne, the set-piece known as the car chase has been a Hollywood staple for over 40 years. Drop into gear and put the pedal to the metal as Andy and John buckle up and go for an extended ride through the greatest car chases of all time -- or so some say. The Saloon races the streets of San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Miami, L.A., Rome and even the apocalypse to uncover the finest examples of high speed octane action ever captured on film.
