Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and the gang are burning rubber again in “Fast and Furious 6,”


Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and the gang are burning rubber again in “Fast and Furious 6,” the latest in the muscle-car franchise, opening Friday. The film is the latest in a long line of cinematic auto mayhem. Here are five others:

v “High Sierra” (1941): Thief Humphrey Bogart tries to escape the law by leading them on a chase through the Sierra Nevada mountains. That’s a 1938 Plymouth navigating those hairpin turns.

v “Bullitt” (1968): Probably the most famous car-chase scene ever, featuring Steve McQueen in a Mustang GT 390 trying to elude some killers on the streets and environs of San Francisco.

v “The French Connection” (1971): Cop Gene Hackman is trying to chase down a hit man escaping on the B train. He races through Brooklyn streets in a Pontiac LeMans in one of the wildest car rides ever.

v “The Road Warrior” (1981): Hard to beat the ending of this Mel Gibson post- apocalyptic classic, what with a chase involving modified cars, dune buggies, motorcycles and trucks.

v “Drive” (2011): That’s Ryan Gosling in a super-hot Mustang, outrunning the cops and the bad guys after two robberies, one of which has gone horribly wrong.

“MasterChef” (8 p.m., Fox): Two hours of auditions kick off Season 4 of Gordon Ramsay’s home-cook competition.

“The Middle” (8 p.m., ABC): What a coincidence — the school year ends just as Season 4 comes to a close.

“Criminal Minds” (9 p.m., CBS): On the two-hour season finale of “Criminal Minds,” The Replicator returns and targets a member of the BAU.

“Nashville' (10 p.m., ABC): Country-music superstar Brad Paisley guest stars as himself and performs in the Season 1 finale of “Nashville.”
