Why have there been 16 movies entitled ‘Hit and Run’?

May 22, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

bullitt mustangRick McGinnis on the latest one:

There are probably a few foreign films with car chases – the French seem to have a fondness for them – but the car chase is still quintessentially American, even if it has devolved into an excess of films where characters grind out acres of exposition while conversing in the confines of a moving auto.

A car-less life has meant that the whole of my experience of driving really fast has come from the movies, so reviews of car movies will be a regular feature on this blog.

I might even write about Hit And Run, though to be frank, it looks more like a rental.
