Hello,

As car chases have been done to death, how about nominating the best off road driving in a film.

No specialist stuff like Dakar reviews, G4 or documentaries etc, and the vehicles have to have wheels so no tanks or mech warriors etc.

My nomination is "Ice cold in Alex", the one where they drive an army ambulance to safety after being stuck behind enemy lines during a retreat in WW2. The tension is great and its ahead of its time in relation to the "enemy" . I have spent many a Sunday afternoon watching this instead of various DIY jobs.

"Sorcerer" about a load of guys who are driving trucks through the jungle, trucks are full of unstable dynamite!

Nothing in the trailer about off road till the end, but in the film it starts form about 30 mins in. I havent seen this for about 20 years.

How about when Jim Carrey is driving a Land Rover Series II through the jungle in ‘Ace Ventura : When Nature Calls’.  8)  8)  8)  8)

Now, that is a nice sequence, I don;t even have to view it to know exactly which one you mean :oops:

Alternatively, Burt Reynolds in the river (in the Trans-Am) in 'Smokey & The Bandit'?
