Steve McQueen ! Yes that's Bullit.

I think you need to be educated about the King of Cool, may I suggest you have a watch of the following:

On any Sunday
Le Mans
Bullit
The Gettaway (bonus Ali MacGraw )
The Sand Pebbles (no cars or bikes, just a cracking film)
The Magnificent Seven (see above)
The Great Escape (obviously, even though Steve didn't do the final jump, that was Bud Elkins)

Unquestionably Ronin. Best ever, end of.

ooo, Now thats surprised me

Ronin, but that's probably cos I ain't seen Bullitt. Must get round to it sometime.

The Bourne Supremacy had a good chase in it as well.

Oh come on now people - Bullitt, every time - though I'll grant that if Steve 'Greater God' McQueen had never graced this earth then Ronin would cinch it.

There was a gret 'Homage' to the Bullitt chase done with someone chasing a remote controlled car that was either a bomb or the triggering device for a bomb. Awesomely well done - so good in fact that I can't actually remember the rest of the film of hand!

I'm glad that no-one has mentioned the travesty of a chase sequence that was the Matrix sequel's CGI'd melodrama.

The Bond one (Living Daylights I believe) with the trashed out Renault deserves a mention, as does the Pearce Brosnan 'Bond' bike sequence (though possibly because of the idea of having such a capable pillion ).

Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry in "The Dead Pool"

Oh and Bullit gets my vote!
