5. THE ROCK (1996)
Bay used to be known as a car-chase expert, very much in the Beverly Hills Cop mold. While The Rock is mostly set on Alcatraz, this earlier clip is emblematic: a destructive romp through the streets of San Francisco. If you think right-wing politics can’t be conveyed in terms of pure stunt work, time to be schooled. A Humvee plows through a peace-sign-laden VW Beetle, totals a truck of bottled water and, finally, derails the ultimate symbol of socialist conveyance: the trolley car.
