The police chase is a staple of good car movies. What a natural fit: a good side and a bad side (you determine who is who), engines screaming, cars sliding, and a completely open rulebook for how driving should be done. There are solid, gritty and honest scenes, such as “To Live And Die In L.A.” to the comically bonkers setups used in “The Blues Brothers” and the bank vault heist scene from “Fast Five” but in the end, the result is the same for the audience: leaving the theater, you have this urge to want to go fast. You can still hear the screaming engine and the tires as they scratch and dig for any semblance of traction. The chase scene is driving how you really wan to drive, instead of doing two miles an hour over the speed limit on your way home with all of the other silver crossovers.

We enjoy police chases for the same reason we enjoy…uh…”other genres” of films. Your pace quickens, your pulse rises, and you crave desperately to be the one in the center of the action. Be honest: any one of you would swap places with Larry Rayder in the Charger. And when the music is on point, it just heightens the experience and the sensation you get watching the action. So for today’s Tune-Up, how about a whole collection of car chases set to the gravelly voice of the late, great Lemmy and Motörhead to get your day in gear?
