Check out this short but epic car chase scene from the 1979 Japanese movie "Taiyou Wo Nusunda Otoko" or "The Man who Stole the Sun" . Mazda provided the lead cars for this action film. Watch as the hero in his SA22C Savanna RX7 escapes from what is seemingly an entire Police force full Nissan 230 Cedric's and the main cop in a Mazda Cosmo AP.
The chase is actually pretty cool. I love how the RX7 makes a Dukes of Hazzard style jump over the truck. Also, note the 510 Bluebird that gets taken out early in the chase.
Hahah, is it just me, or does the Cosmo change to a white one as he's climbing out of it, and then back to black as he clambers away? Maybe it's the light, but it sure looks white to me!

Wouldn't be surprised. I also like how the RX7 shows no damage at the end after clearly being banged up in the Bo & Luke jump.
