What are your favorite movies with boats or boat chases?
I think the best boat chase I've seen was on "Face Off" with Nicholas Caige & John Travolta.

Well obviously the first one that comes to mind, is James Bond with the old Glastrons jumping over highways. http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

There was an interesting one in The Italian Job. The boat had an old Merc on it and looked like a kind of new Hydrostream hull. Too bad they used i/o sounds for the boat though! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/brickwall.gif

Live and let Die is a classic. I think the black boat was jet drive. I guess I'll just have to watch it again.

What are you, boy? Some kinda doomsday machine?

I agree, the early Bond movie with all the Glastrons. I once had a 16ft Carlson, but never tried things they did.

My brother had a Glastron the same size & color as Bonds, I used to have a blast flying thru the narrow channels at the 1000 Islands with it.
Smoky & the Bandit (2 I think) had a good chase thru the swamps also.
The black boat in Bond was one bad @ jet drive.

I like all the boat chases, but I'll have to vote for Face Off. That boat chase was wicked.

OK guys here's one you'll like. Twin dragons. with Jakie Chan the boat chase in it is a Checkmate or a fake Checkmate. Looks like a Sportfire.

How about Bad Boys 2. There was some real nice boats used in that movie. There is another movie that comes to mind butI can't remember the name, it might be one of the old Police Academy movies. It wasn't a real nice boat but I remember a small speedboat chase through a river and the boat had a good jump were the motor hit the ramp and was bouning around out of control.

Anyone ever seen an old movie called something like the serch for the yankee zephyr, It had a good boat race up a narrow river and rapids. I cant hardly remember it, only ever saw it once.
