Time for a piece of film history with cars. We went looking for cinematic masterpieces that pay tribute to the phenomenon of dragracen’. This, we came up against.

The list below is entirely subjective, so who better dragracemomenten from movies know to think, tell us what you think in the comments! Please note: no chases or other forms of racing.

Politiefeestje in Fast Five

Fast Five had some cool moments, including this one with sirens and flashing lights, overloaded drag between the four police cars

6. Truck vs RC truck in Oceans Eleven

Faint, but nice idea.

5. The ‘chicken game in Rebel Without a Cause

Admittedly, it is not the most standard drag, but a memorable filmmoment. “We are both heading for the cliff, who jumps first, is the chicken”.

4. Klassiekerstrijd in American Graffiti

In the tienerfilm American Graffiti from George Lucas’s take Milner (Paul Le Mat) and Falfa (Harrison Ford) against each other in a brutal piece of autogeweld.

3. Rental cars afraggen in Days of Thunder

When Tom Cruise still no aliengekkie was. And when dragraces in modal car’s quite normal.

2. Jap vs Yank in The Fast and The Furious

O’conners Toyota Supra (’95) against the brute strength of Toretto’s Dodge Charger R/T (’70). A drag that culture of cars through the white cloth to a large audience brought. Oh, and because of this wheelie of course.

1. BMW Z4 in Beat the Devil.

In 2001, four years before YouTube was invented, had BMW under the banner of The Hire-a series of eight short films produced for the internet. Each film had its own story, with Clive Owen in a BMW thread. The leading role in the last part, Beat the Devil, is reserved for a BMW Z4 3.0. But who does not order cars will be particular pleasure from the fact both James Brown, Gary Oldman, Clive Owen, Danny Trejo, participate in this by Tony Scott produced little masterpiece. Heck, even Marilyn Manson makes his debut. What’s not to like?
