....that was a DAMN good movie!

Also, HOLY SHIT, MY CAR WAS A LEADING VEHICLE IN A CAR CHASE IN A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! :P

.....we’ll gloss over the fact it may have been ‘the dumbest car chase of all time’ ;)

Agreed, great flick.  And yeah, pretty bad car chase, but overall worth the watch.

“The bitter wind and snow blowing in off the Atlantic coast made Cap wish he’d brought the Accent instead”

It was nimble enough to go places that made an Intercepter Utility crash so I’d say it did admirably. But yes it was unnecessary.

Fantastic movie though.

Rian Johnson made a car chase that subverted your expectations

It did, but I am OK with that :D

....I will, however, state from personal experience that they are a bit more capable than what was shown on-screen :P

I was actually quoting the one Lieutenant officer working with Benoit just after they finally caught up to Marta when I said “that was the dumbest car chase” :P

But....it was quite dumb, in a good way :P

Though if he got stuck on any large swathes of ice, an open-diff means he wouldn’t be going anywhere in the Accent :P

Yes, I completely agree....it did make a very nice noise as well!

The Accent has actually been in quite a few movies , most of which I’ve never heard of.

I got the reference. I would say more unnecessary than dumb. It did give the cops the slip.

Hopefully yours goes faster than the pace of the movie. Agree it was neat, but could have been much better with some extra editing.

I loved Knives Out!

And I thought of you during the chase scene with the Accent. Something of an anti-hero car.

“....that was a DAMN good movie!”

I KNOW, right? We rented that movie a while ago and were blown away by its awesomeness. Everything about it was just brilliant!

Well....gave them the slip until they caught up like...10 seconds later :P

Pretty sure it could :P

I’ve only ever had it up to 130kph though, and the max speed limit in Canada is 110kph, so I don’t intend to go any faster than that, lol...

Very much so :P

But, I’m OK with that...sortof reminds me of the 2CV chase in the one James Bond movie, except that the 2CV was actually effective :P

Saw it in theaters. I like a movie with a clever plot that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Glad you enjoyed it, I liked it a lot! Was not the Accent in the car chase scene the single most amazing car chase car you’ve ever seen in any movie ever, totally, for realz, completely not being sarcastic in any way ? :P
