Hey Guys!

I'm running up the S.O.S. flag on a conundrum I'm pondering...

There's a speed boat chase in the spec I'm writing for a studio producer.
I need recommendations for your favorite boat chase scenes in a movie to research.

Off the top of my head I've got...

Face/Off
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
World is Not Enough
Quantum of Solace
Sahara
Striking Distance
Speed II: Cruise Control
The Italian Job
Hard Rain
Patriot Games


(point of fact - the boat in my scene is the same make as the IJ&LC one...
http://www.hackerboat.com/boat-designs?locale=en_US#sportboat)

EDIT: Doesn't have to be two boats. Could be a boat and car or copter, etc.

Please shout out or embed links to your fave boat chases. Thanks!

Regards,
E.D.

Oh and a cracker in Caddyshack


My former partner in the skydive reality show is a stunt person at the dock and also the redhead in the green bikini at the pool.

She still gets $36/month in residuals.

Not so much a boat chase, but a jet ski race.   Hardbodies.  One of my all time favorite movies.

I'll have to check out Quantum, must've mental blocked the boat chase.
WaterWorld is sailboats. I need some gas power, thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks! I assume you mean the Matthew McConaughey flick?
I'll go out on a limb and say the Bogart desert picture doesn't have a boat chase.

There's a chase at the end. Where the protagonist is after a plane.

Wow. Really? I must've totally blocked that.
Then again, I haven't seen the film since it came out in theaters.
I'll have to revisit the film. Thanks!

Been trying to remember this title since yesterday -- finally just Googled it.

Old Bruce Willis movie called, "Striking Distance" -- if memory serves, the whole film is pretty much boat chases, as he is with the Coast Guard or some such thing.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Another Bond movie, "The World is Not Enough" The starting sequence where Bond rides some little awesome looking knight rider type speed boat down the river thames. The movie isn't great but it's a good scene.

Is it me or does Bond movies have a lot of speed boat chases.
