Drive Drinking Game + Cocktail

He drives. That's it. And somehow that's the most terrifying thing in the film.

The Rules

  • Sip — The Driver gives someone a window — five minutes, then he's gone, no waiting
  • Sip — The Driver and Irene share silence in a scene where other movies would have dialogue
  • Sip — Shannon pitches a business idea to the Driver and the Driver barely responds
  • Sip — Bernie Rose adjusts his jacket and says something quietly menacing with a smile
  • Sip — The opening police scanner sequence plays and the Driver navigates without speaking
  • Drink Twice — The Driver does something unexpectedly brutal and the tone shifts without warning
  • Drink Twice — Nino panics and Bernie has to manage him with visible patience wearing thin
  • Drink Twice — Standard Gas gets involved in something he clearly should have stayed out of
  • Shot — The elevator scene — you'll know it when you see it
  • Shot — The Driver puts on the scorpion jacket and the neon light hits it perfectly
  • Chug — The final shot of the Driver behind the wheel — alive, alone, and going nowhere fast
