SPEED presents Hollywood's top car chases

NASCAR's chase may have just ended, but the SPEED channel is about to embark on another one. On Thanksgiving night, SPEED takes a look at the best cinematic car chases of the last 40 years with a two-hour special called, "Hollywood’s Hottest Car Chases," premiering at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The film was done by New York City’s Pangolin Pictures and it puts the viewer right in the passenger's seat.  Many of the great chase scenes are analyzed by those who created, shot and sat behind the wheel of these dazzling cars. SPEED's David Harris helped provide Trading Paint with the photos you can see below and some of the interesting facts that were culled from the show.

 

We've highlighted 13 of the chases featured in the show with a photo gallery that includes the year the movie was made, the cars, the stars and some interesting facts about the film.

 

Here's the trailer:
