The French Connection car chase is so old-school that even if you're not a fan of the film (which seems insane) you can still dig this legendary car chase scene.
This is a car chase with 0, none, nill, zilch CGI(Computer Generated Images). What you're seeing in the scene is the real deal.
Looking back on it, its amazing nobody got hurt. It just so looks so reckless.
Listen to the sounds of it as well. Its not cutesyed up like most action films. With today's chases there is always some kind of generic techno music blasting.....not in The French Connection. These car screeching is just so ugly....But guess what? That's what car screeching is supposed to sound like. Metal crashing into something makes a loud and unpleasant noise. Remember that next time you see the next Michael Bay film.

They did that scene live, no cops cutting off streets, no extras, etc. just live shots careening around the streets - unbelievable
@Anonymous - Is that for real? OMG! It's the best car chase scene. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to complete his mission as a cop. On the other hand, some people probably applaud his excellent driving skills already! He's really good! The faces of the streets that were captured should also be applauded. Classic films are truly one of the best ones!
