re: Can a car chase go on too long?

The most famous car chase is probably the one in The French Connection or either The Seven-Ups ... both sort of established the necessary inclusion of car chases in action films.

The Getaway with Steve McQueen carried on the tradition by then. He had already done Bullett a few years earlier .... that one was ground breaking as well.

But it really all started with The French Connection and The Seven-Ups. There was this scene where Roy Scheider slammed into the back of an 18 wheeler .... I think this is it from The Seven Ups. (ETA: Yep, this is the scene)
