These 15 Movie Directors Have Destroyed the Most Cars On-Screen

I really thought Mad Max would have been the film to have killed more cars.

I wonder if they counted Die Hard’s exploding tank? I sure hope so. That was badass.

If only there were cars in Avatar. Maybe Cameron’s number would be higher.

The only thing that has aged worse than the cast of Baby Driver are the cars in it, apparently.

The cars killed John Wick’s dog, they must be destroyed.

If you destroy a car in the Matrix, does it really count? I guess so!

You go, Paul Greengrass!

My favorite Spielberg movie was responsible for killing two cars. It’s still excellent.

‘80s action is the best action, because it’s pure and uncut. Just lot of explosions and other practical effects.

Is this the only Audi TT ever destroyed in a movie? It has to be, right?

Honestly, if you total up all the cars that are destroyed when these Marvel superheroes destroy entire city blocks, the number is probably a lot higher than just 80 cars. But, who is going to take the time to do that? Not me.

The best way to make the Batmobile look even cooler is to make sure that every other car on Earth is destroyed. It makes sense.

Nearly half of the cars destroyed by John Landis happened in just one scene: the infamous Blues Brothers 2000 pileup which involved 50 cars. It actually holds the Guinness World Record for the largest car pile up in movie history. You’re welcome for that little factoid.

It’s no surprise that the guy who directed the bulk of the Fast and Furious franchise is second on this list. I mean they are movies about cars, after all. At least I think so. I’ve only seen Tokyo Drift.

I mean, really, who else could be at the top of this list? Bay has averaged 24 damaged or written off vehicles per movie. It’s a truly impressive pace. He killed an astonishing 155 cars in just five Transformers movies. He’s 219 cars ahead of second place. He’s lapped the field and then blown it up for good measure.
