Fans of the comedy writing team Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will get a chance to see their most recent outing Pineapple Express  that promises one of the funniest car chases seen in a long time. The film is a cross between the adolescent rites of passage in Superbad and the stoner antics found in Cheech and Chong films. Whether the car chase will be an extended pursuit sequence, we will just have to wait and see.

Due to hit the screens in August in the US. Watch the trailer at the film's website.

Every summer one can expect a fresh crop of car chase releases and it appears that the summer of 2008 will be no different. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull started it off with arguably the most car chase content of the entire Indiana Jones series. And as previously announced Wanted finally hits the screens with its long awaited extended car chase sequence.

Along with these films there are more automotive delights in store. Get Smart, with Steve Carell in the Maxwell Smart role in this feature film adaptation of the 1960s television series, also has a car chase as one of its major action set pieces. Watch the film's trailer for a glimpse.

Amongst the big blockbusters during the 1st July release schedule is Hancock. Will Smith plays a down on his luck superhero, and sees him intervene in a freeway chase that recalls the pursuit sequence in Bad Boys II.  Go to the film's website for more.

Finally one cannot fail to note perhaps one of the most anticipated films of the year, The Dark Knight. One can only hope that the chase sequence featuring the Bat Pod, Batman's military looking motorcycle, will hold its own in comparison with the car chase with the Batmobile in Batman Begins.  Get the lowdown from the film's website. 

It's that time again. The Annual VaRaces Awards returns to celebrate the standout achievements in car chase and auto-racing entertainment for 2007. Be it jaw-dropping crashes, dangerous pursuit sequences, or outright impressive driving ability, the Varaces Awards marks those films that have pushed the envelope with respect to car chase and auto-racing film conventions.
