Gene Hackman at the height of his powers.
Brad Dourif (seen here as the opposite of Billy in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest). Fun fact from the comments, Brad Dourif played Doc Cochrane in Deadwood. I never would have recognized him.

Gene Hackman you say?
Car chase you say? How about Hackman wheeling a '71 Pontiac LeMans in a car chase, from 1971 and directed by William Friedkin? ![]()

^^^ Supposedly filmed without permits? Hard to imagine that's any more than urban legend.

Or "The Seven Ups" from 1973 and Roy Scheider's 1973 Pontiac Ventura coupe in pursuit of a 1973 Pontiac Grand Ville sedan....

Quite an impressive cast in Mississippi Burning. I liked Brad Dourif in Deadwood, too. And William Sanderson as E.B. Farnum, the hotel manager. I liked him as J. F. Sebastian, the genetic designer in Blade Runner. "I make my friends."

Same driver in the Charger in Bullit, The Grand Ville in the Seven Ups and the Le Mans in French Connection.
Bill Hickman.

He was a stunt driver. He sure made a good hitman in Bullitt. Very business-like driving that '68 Charger R/T 440.

Time to watch this again. Great cast, well done, great soundtrack. Even a little Porsche content.

A Simple Plan. Very underrated, in my estimation. Bill Paxton (RIP) and Billybob give subtle but heartwrenching performances here.
