Ah - you consider yourself some sort of Superman?

You seem to think villains are all inept cowards that will lie down and
wait to be shot by the self righteous. One of the Hollywood lies...

When that doesn't happen, they will be in a car that will leave a
twisty road into a ravine.

These ravines have all kinds of incendiary devices laying around
because the car always explodes with a ball of flame.

Have you ever seen the film Ronin ?

It's well worth seeing as a decent film in its own right (a score of 7.1 on imdb
is pretty good) but amongst the film's better aspects are some brilliant car
chases set in *European* surroundings. The final chase through Paris (watch out
for the tunnel where Princess Di's car crashed) is utterly AWESOME.

And barely any cars catch fire ! NONE 'explode' at all IIRC. It's brilliant to
see car chases done RIGHT !
