Actually, The Blues Brothers held the record for the most number of 
cars crashed in any one scene(specifically, the scene is almost at 
the end of the movie, in Chicago; everybody crests a hill at a 
zillion miles an hour, and one cop car crashes into another, then 
it's just all downhill from there.)

It lost the record a few years back...

...to Blues Brothers 2000.

For BB2k, they built a custom set of catapults to wing mostly empty 
crown vic's into a big, huge pile.  I believe it consisted of a 
massive hydraulic arm that whipped the cars into the pile.   A little 
editing and it looks like the stream of cars was constant.
