Just over halfway through John Frankenheimer’s 1998 action-thriller ‘Ronin’, an incredible 8-minute-long car chase erupts featuring sports sedans immersing viewers in a realistic and gritty experience. A chase that traverses the landscape of Paris and gradually goes from 0-100 in tension and thrills! When the film debuted, little did audiences know just how iconic the car chase would become. And 25 years after its release, the car chase scene remains unrivaled. ‘Ronin’ is best known for its action sequences. So much so the film features not one but two car chases. In the first act, a heist-gone-wrong sees a 1996 D2 Audi S8 go up against a 1995 Citroen XM in what is a visceral chase. The cars are put through their paces, racing at break-neck speeds along open roads, narrow ancient streets, and dirt tracks that resemble a rally stage. Combined with an epic soundtrack, the chase is up there with one of the greats. However, this was only the appetizer. Then came the Paris pursuit involving a BMW M5, which is the film’s enduring legacy. Ronin’s Cars Of Choice: BMW Versus Peugeot Unlike the Fast and Furious franchise, ‘Ronin’ features 2 ordinary sedans in its signature chase scene. Not a bunch of extravagant, over-the-top supercars. It aims for realism. BMW The villains lead in a 1991 BMW E34 M5 spec’d in a gorgeous metallic black color with turbine alloys. There is some debate as to what actual car was used in filming. Some say a 535i; others claim a standard 520i for damage-inducing stunts. But what is certain is that one of the greatest analog sports sedans features heavily in this chase sequence. The viewer gets to hear its glorious straight six-engine echo throughout the Parisian streets. And the cinematography perfectly captures the car’s gorgeous styling. It’s a

Sight to behold. Via: Peugeot On the other hand, the protagonists – DeNiro and Reno’s characters – pursue the M5 in a 1996 Peugeot 406, specifically, the 3.0 liter V6 variant. Like the BMW, debate continues to this day as to which model was used in filming. But director John Frankenheimer lets the V6 engine roar and sing, even though the car struggles to keep up with the M5’s momentous power. It makes for an interesting chase sequence. The M5 could easily lose its tail, but when facing obstacles and busy Parisian traffic, the 406 manages to keep up. Behind The Scenes Of The Ronin Car Chase Via: MGM; YouTube channel David Lister When Paris’ chief of police gave the film crew permission to do whatever they wanted, with no restrictions, it was as if the stars aligned for the perfect chase scene to happen. The behind-the-scenes making of the sequence is worthy of awards in itself. Led by stunt-car coordinator and race car driver Jean-Claude Lagniez, ‘Ronin’ saw only professional race car drivers be used for the 8-minute car chase. From ex-Formula 1 to Champ Car series drivers, the results speak for themselves. The Paris chase saw over 100 race car drivers be tested to the limits. The M5 and 406 often broke 100 mph through the narrow city streets, dodging civilians, police cars, and other traffic. The list of risks to avoid was endless. The toughest part of the chase saw the two now classic cars speed into and dodge oncoming traffic on a busy highway. While the traffic traveled at 35 mph, both the BMW and the Peugeot zipped past them at 75 mph. If something went wrong, such as a driver changing lanes at the wrong moment, the accident would have been catastrophic. But, thanks to
