Urbane, I haven't seen any of these films. Could you please give me brief descriptions of the chases for each scene? See the current list for an idea of how they should read.

Sorry, I lost track of this post. You could fill this poll suggestion with 35 options if you want. There are over 500 Paris set action films with 130 of those having 15,000 plus IMDb votes. I would recommend picking films and using the Wikipedia plot summaries to pick an action scene you want to cite for a film you want to include from the list.

The Last Duel (2021) 

The climatic duel begins with Jean and Jacques jousting until both men lose their mounts and then fight hand-to-hand. Jean eventually manages to pin down Jacques and demands that Jacques confess or face damnation.

Anna (2019)

Anna kills Vassiliev while the two play a game of chess and proceeds to shoot her way out of the club killing a dozen KGB operatives in the process.

Men in Black: International (2019)

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
