Angelina Jolie's action-packed motorcycle chase in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider has been named the best two-wheeled movie moment of all time, in a poll by biker fans.

The actress' bike chase in the 2001 hit computer game adaptation topped of a poll issued by U.K. bike insurers Bennetts - beating legendary actor Steve McQueen's iconic on-bike flight in The Great Escape.

Tom Cruise's high-fuelled motorbike adventures in Top Gun was voted in third place, with special effect blockbusters The Matrix Reloaded and Terminator 2 taking the fourth and fifth places respectively.

Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper's cult 1969 road movie Easy Rider - which depicts the life of a group of doomed bikers - was snubbed by film fans, failing to make the poll's top five.

Latest: Mel Gibson has been left devastated after hearing the news of a construction worker's suicide at his California home.

The body of 48-year-old Michael John Van Dyke, who reportedly hanged himself, was found at the Agoura Hills property on Wednesday.

The house is currently under heavy construction and the Lethal Weapon star and his family were not present at the time of the incident.

A representative for the actor/director admits Gibson feels "terrible" about the situation, even though he had never met Van Dyke himself.

Van Dyke is alleged to have been an old friend of the contractor hired to work on Gibson's mansion, but had no direct ties to the actor.

According to Tmz.com, Van Dyke worked as a construction foreman on movie sets including The Matrix Reloaded, Star Trek: Nemisis and Dr. Dolittle 2.

He was reportedly experiencing financial difficulty following a messy divorce at the time of his death.
