- This week on Staff Picks, the team selects another Action Movie for the Staff Picks store, and debates the best car chase in history, whether action is the most problematic genre, and if Catwoman's scenes count as action at all. Thank you for shopping at Staff Picks.
-------
Welcome to Staff Picks, a brand new show from Cracked. Join Patrick Willems, Danielle Radford, and friends as they curate the greatest video store movie selection the world has ever seen. Every week they'll each pick a movie from one of the big four genres. Then between the four of them, they have to unanimously decide which movie earns a spot on shelves of their dream store.
Thank you for shopping at Staff Picks.

Blues brothers ending chase scene
You spoke it, and I heard the music in my head.
Seconded
Saw the title and thought the exact same thing. The pure destruction of that chase, it’s art.
My first thought too. Sadly this video had nothing to do with its title
100% greatest car chase of all time.
I thought the same..
As far as car chases are concerned I think I got to go with "Ronin". Trying to get away down those super cramped old European streets in a tiny car with way more power then it should ever have! It's a fun one.
The Seven Ups (1973) starring Roy Scheider is fantastic, and totally underseen nowadays. Directed by the same producer as Bullitt and The French Connection. The chase through New York is in the same league as Bullitt.
Ronin, though, is the only real answer here. Never been equalled.
thank you for bringin ronin up... it must be the best car chase scene ever..
I love that _"OOOOOOooooooh,"_ moment that you get when you *finally* find out [the deal with something], but I _hate_ the years you can spend before figuring it out.
The longer the time, the bigger the feeling, lol
Weird energy, but Meyers in the deep background was funny
Of all the greatest action movie car chase scenes, only Daniel submitted one that qualified. Bullitt is one of the best.
Fun fact: The complete blu-ray collection of Twin Peaks you can get these days comes with that alternate "European release" of the pilot episode that has its own ending to the story.
For Car Chases?
Mad Max: Fury Road is legendary
Bourne Identity gets honorable mention
Yeah, I remember those days browsing at the Blockbuster, or we also had a local VHS store in our grocery store growing up at the Albertson’s in South Sac.
Only one movie ended with a main character having Dead Eyes 💀👀! Fun that Connor picked it. Shoutout to whoever booked Connor Ratliff, i want to see him pop up on any movie podcast/series
Great to see this filmed in my favorite store ever ❤
The hands down winner is the original "Gone in 60 seconds".
The entire movie is just a ramp up to the end which is a car chase that goes around the entire south bay of Los Angeles and is about 25 minutes long.
There's even a scene where the stunt car accidently blows a tire and plows into a pole on a freeway and it was kept in the film.
It was a low budget movie, to be sure, but no movie has ever topped that.
Hey your in my state. Didn’t know about this store, will have to check it out
I knew instantly he was talking about Transylvania 6-5000
Car chases are invariably best from older movies. These days there's so much CGI, you know it's all fakey-fake computer trickery. But back in the day, they had to actually do the stunt for real. Remember Roger Moore in _The Man With The Golden Gun_ where the car jumps the river and does a barrel-roll at the same time? No CGI, done for real. Or _Gone In Sixty Seconds_ - the original 1974 Halicki version, of course, where the budget was so tiny that the writer was also the director, the producer, the lead actor...and the stuntman. Or _The Italian Job_ (once again - just the original.) Or _The French Connection._ _Vanishing Point._ _Ronin._ So many...all so old. But these days, they're so busy trying to outdo what the last movie did, they've gone beyond the realm of possibility...which makes them seem more like Saturday morning cartoons than serious car-chase movies. F&F is a great example - the first one already made the driving sequences kinda silly, and every one thereafter has gone even further beyond believability.
The original Gone in 60 seconds is the clear winner, in my book.
As if people don't do the same thing (browse for an hour and leave without successfully picking a movie) when scrolling on a streaming service! I'd say it's more common in streaming than it was in-person, because you can't remember things you said "maybe" on as you scrolled past, or hold them in your hand while you continue browsing... Maybe if it was a faux-physical experience like you use a VR headset, to browse through a virtual video store and you could do things like remember where in the store you were interested or hold maybes in your hand...
10:57 a man who looks at the bottom shelf. There are the interesting ones.
Of the 4 I gotta choose Heat. But there's def sub-genres and you needed to include either Bad Boys II or The Rock or Commando or something.
I think there's some kindnof series with Patrick h willems and and conor Ratcliffe based on the fact that they are both Americans with irish parents. I have no idea what it could be about, but make it happen!
"Dead Eyed CZcamsr"
Heat has an incredible action scene during/after the bank heist, but the movie feels more like more like a drama/suspense otherwise. Superhero movies are their own genre, I would not count Batman as an action film. It's closer to a horror film otherwise. Bullet is an older action film, and established the genre...but it is, well, older and less action packed. Police Story is an essential action film for sure...but I'd actually nominate Bullet, which is far harder to locate, and isn't talked about enough.
I'd love to see y'all do either a pre 1950 Hollywood or Western episode.
Is that Patrick H Willems…on CRACKED???!!!!!
Sure is
Everyone is forgetting that Police Story has themes of acab. It ends with Jackie Chan murdering the evil cop for the sake of Justice, instead of following what the law and other corrupt cops tell him to do.
I'd say to my mind one of the best movie car chases is the Original "The Italian Job". Not sure if that classes as an action flick or a heist film though.
OMG! there are more people that saw 'I love Huckabees'!
I loved that movie!
Came for the car chase. Stayed for Twin Peaks
Making videos at Cracked?
I wouldn’t kept the video and paid the replacement fee
Is vinegar syndrome where sweat breaks on the bridge of your nose when you eat it? Because that happens to me.
2.7mil subs, can't even do 5k view in 4 days 😢
Please start titling and giving your staff picks videos a staff picks centric title and thumbnail, because they’re hard to find. I want to support, but you’re making it hard
The Seven Ups 1973...best car chase
Deathproof had the best car chase scene ever.
Browsing through vinyl records is a bliss too. ❤
If they don't mention _Birds of Prey_ then these people don't know what they're talking about.
Ronin. The end.
Ronin
This wasnt fair... Jackie Chan trained a fish to roll over... He wins everything.
This channel uses to be great
Ronin....period
Cracked was once the Goat. Now it's half a shadow of what it once where. What a damn shame.
is it just me or does Connor sound like Steve-o?
Perhaps you should title your videos that have something to do with the content. You will lose clicks from me
They did... the title says THE movie with greatest car chase. (Bullitt) Which they discussed.
@@Zackaria_sMaxA brief mention of 2 cliché movies in 30 minutes, while also discussing other genres of film and prose doesn't justify the click bait that is the title.
😑
Batman Returns is a garbage movie. It's cheesy and pretends to be dark. The plot makes no sense. It looks like it was filmed on a studio backlot. It is just terrible.
I would have fought for Batman Returns. It is Queer, whips, BDSM, and found family. And I could not get Batman to win I would point out that Jackie Chan is worth 400 million dollars and has a homeless daughter that he refuses to help her get back on her feet.
Jackie Chan is 100% in the right. Illegitimate daughter Etta Ng Chok-lam wanted nothing to do with him. She was 18 and married 31 year old Andi Autumn. That age disparity isn't welcomed in any family, regardless of gender preference, unless one of them is fantastically financially secure. Instead, both had zero career skills, outside of being a failed influencer, and hoped social pressure on Jackie would result in a cushy life.
Oh my god that girl is insufferable. You all know who I'm talking about.
Sheiiiit!
really?
Too much sheiiit
🟥 poofda
Ronin
Only correct answer
Sounds like someone has never seen _Birds of Prey._
@OsirisMalkovich true. If it's the roller skating one i just watched on YT, yeah above average entertainment value, could be contender for fakest car chase I've seen. I would say even Samurai Cop is better than that.
@@TheTaskmaster lol enjoy your "realistic' car chases lmfao
@@OsirisMalkovich I'm with TheTaskmaster on this one. I did LOL watching the 12 mph roller skating car chase scene, and I would definitely like it if I had only seen 1 car chase movie in my life.
