Henry Rollins in a police uniform! YUM! That is all..

Current tabloid darling/toxic wasteland Charlie Sheen stars as an escaped convict who, when cornered in a convenience store by police, takes a hostage (Kristy "Buffy" Swanson, who was baked to absolute hottie perfection at the time) and heads for Mexico in her car, tailed by hordes of police and an army of news media. Silly but oh-so-much-fun action comedy features a hilarious turn by Henry Rollins as a tightly wound cop and Flea and Anthony from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in a cameo as a pair of Beavis & Butthead style wanna-be heroes.

The Chase Soundtrack
Isaias Munguia Jr. | Modesto, CA United States | 01/13/2003

"I have noticed people posting their troubles in attempting to locate "The Chase" Original Soundtrack. I too have attempted to locate this soundtrack with great trouble. However, I did not locate the soundtrack but did find a webpage that took the time to post the titles and artist of the music from the movie. And adding to my speculation the page also posted their being unable to locate the soundtrack aswell, making me belive there might not have been an acual soundtrack released. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, and the movie was cool to. The Soundtrack is as follows:1. Breakdown - One Dove
2. The Next Life - Suede
3. Macho Man - Stephen Stuart Short
4. Two Babies in the Dark - Bad Religion
5. Forever and A Day - Offspring *
6. Our Own Way - Down by Law
7. Shine - The Rollins Band
8. House - Dan Carlson
9. Adina - Rancid
10. Take It Like a Man - Offspring
11. The Bottle - Rancid
12. Please Play This Song on the Radio - NoFX
13. Warm - NoFX"

"This movie is so great! It's very funny, and includes an amazing soundtrack that I've been trying to track down for years. (I've all but given up on that chase though) Like many other skeptics, I'm beginning to wonder if they ever printed a copy of it, but supposedly the track listing went like this:
1. Breakdown - One Dove
2. The Next Life - Suede
3. Macho Man - Stephen Stuart Short
4. Two Babies in the Dark - Bad Religion
5. Forever and A Day - Offspring *
6. Our Own Way - Down by Law
7. Shine - The Rollins Band
8. House - Dan Carlson
9. Adina - Rancid
10. Take It Like a Man - Offspring
11. The Bottle - Rancid
12. Please Play This Song on the Radio - NoFX
13. Warm - NoFX
Even without the soundtrack, this movie is great! Easily worth 9 bucks. It features great performances by under-rated greats such as Henry Rollins (as a hilarious cop), Josh Mostel(as his partner), and Carey Elwes as a ridiculous TV anchorman. Another great plus to this movie is the way it pokes fun at the mainstream news media and their sensationalism. Highly recomended!!!"
Decent, with a good cast

"This movie may be one of those movies you'll hate to love. The plot of the movie is simple and unoriginal, yet you'll find yourself really getting into it. The movie begins with the introduction of Jack Hammond (Charlie Sheen), who's background we know little about. But we do know he is a criminal of some sort; on the run. And as he stops for gas (with a stolen car) he is noticed by two cops. He panics and kidnaps the girl standing next to him (Kristy Swanson, the original 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'), and takes off.As it turns out, midway through the freeway car chase, Hammond was found guilty of a crime that he didn't commit. And he does anything and everything to keep from getting caught. The movie does provide for a few satisfactory surprises, but for the most part you'll know what's going to happen. And while all this is going on--the fighting between Hammond and Natalie Voss (Swanson)--they begin to fall in love. And if you think that sounds impractical or just plain stupid, you're right. But you have to realize: without the cheap love you really have no movie. So you must look beyond the sometimes too-fake plot in order to enjoy the movie. As you can imagine, you'll find yourself saying "yeah right" during certain parts of the movie. And the 'sex' scene (if you want to call it that) is so horrible you will laugh out loud. I won't spoil the fun for you, though. All in all, 'The Chase' is a pretty average film with no plotline. But on a brighter note, the cast is very diverse. Aside from Sheen and Swanson, you have Henry Rollins (singer of Rollins' Band) and Josh Mostel (who you may remember from smaller parts in 'Big Daddy' and 'Billy Madison'); both of which who play the cops following the car. Also, there's Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea and Anthony Kiedis. 'The Chase' is a decent movie, one that may go overlooked. But if you enjoy Charlie Sheen's work, or have always been intrigued by those infamous high-speed chases, you will enjoy this movie. It got 3 stars from me because there's really no plot and it's mostly unoriginal. Yet 3 stars still makes a movie worth seeing; and you should look into this one."
One of the greatest satire flicks ever

"This movie is so awesome. Asside from the kick [butt] cameos by Henry Rollins, Anthony Kiedis, and Flea, this movie is just a great fun movie to watch. The first time I watched it I was 10 years old and I loved it then and Im 17 and I love it now. I was looking for the soundtrack but I can't find it? :( Anyways awesome awesome movie."
Hands down, the coolest movie I've ever seen.

"Okay, I've been a die hard Charlie Sheen fan for a while now but I just recently saw The Chase on TV. I was really really impressed with it. It was funny, suspenseful, and romantic. And may I say that Charlie was absolutely gorgeous in it!!!!! Also I thought that having Flea and Anthony from Red Hot Chilli Peppers was a hilarious addition. Oooh, and also Cary Elwes, another personal favourite hot guy of mine, had a small part in the movie as well. This was a great movie and I recommend it to anyone!"
