Reminder of the previous message
I forgot that one. I never saw the chase before in either movie, but I just got myself Top of the World (for 0,00$, as usual), I'll have to check out that chase. 
Btw, that's another Nu Image example. 
Then, there's Fatal Justice (1994), a REALLY bad American-Independent production which not only reuses two car scenes from earlier A-I production Terminal Force (1989), but also takes footage from a Texas stuntmen group demo reel.
Not to mention the speeding Mustang scene in Capricorn One (1977) ending with the car driving off the open drawbridge into the waters below. I saw it reused in an episode of The Fall Guy (wotta surprise...), and the fall-off-the-bridge alone was reused in an episode of Hardcastle and McCormick, doubling a Mercury Cougar in a car chase.

I know. It just bugged me to make a discussion about it. I shouldn't have? 
No, no problem
I just didn't know what else to say on the subject
Not only chases can be stolen, sometimes other action scenes
e.g. the explosion at the beginig of Die Hard 3 was re-used in the series Diagnosis Murder: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_90243-Grumman-Olson-Kurbmaster.html
Oh, okay.
Any scene is okay, as long as it prominently has cars. For instance, this scene has the explosion throw the Kurbmaster on its side, so it counts.

I have another example. One of the Jeep rollovers in The A-Team TV series was reused in an episode of Hardcastle and McCormick.
Also, Hardcastle and McCormick had a scene where a white and blue pickup truck flies off a cliff. It was reused in an episode of The A-Team.

One thing I can't take, though - is that pathetic episode of McGyver where they ripped off the whole chase scene from the Italian Job - what kind of fool thought of that as a good idea? I like McGyver, but that episode made me turn the TV off.
Also the scene with the hearse: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_73644-Hanomag-L28-1950.html Was just taken and recycled in MacGyver... The 1st season was really made in economy
What is it with black-topped red cars falling off cliffs and being reused as stock footage? First, the Renault Dauphine from ITC, then, the Jaguar XK-E from The Jerk, and now this Corvette!
