That's where my wife & I went to as a part of our honeymoon back in 2010. I remember the actions were pretty intense. Almost a dozen cars/motorcycles criscrossing the stage at any one time. Simple action setpiece like The Italian Job, but a good show.

So this is how The Italian Job began.

"You were only s'posed to blow the bloody doors off!" {Michael Caine, Italian job, proper version)

Oh so here's the deal. Computers are the spackle for shoddy writing. Computers are used by Hollywood both to fill in plot gaps and to provide an easy way to wrap up an episode, movie or get past a character's adversity. For more proof...watch "The Italian" job or "Oceans 11/12/13".


Machina ex machina.

Or "Independence Day" (Did you know that AppleTalk is compatible with ALIEN FUCKING SPACESHIPS? It's true.)
Or "The Net" (Did you know that viruses actually sound like bacon? It's true.)

Fight Club... c'mon, it's obvious
Ocean's 11, Italian Job, Ronin, etc... heist movies are pure guy. They've got the same "play by your own rules, man apart" thing as American Beauty, Falling Down, and Fight Club; complex, logical problem-solving throughout; and action to top it off.

It's just occurred to me that the list of classic cult British films that have been murdered by Hollywood now include;

The Wicker Man
Get Carter
The Italian Job
The Ladykillers
Alfie

And I bet I've missed a few. Hollywood, stop it.

Racing against two silver Mercedes 400 E around 0.23 and trying to escape at around 5:15 - both from Taxi. Listed as "Taxi Express", i guess. At least the year fits.

>> ^Krupo:
Your summary lacks the French "Taxi" movies, eh? I'm not sure which of the 4 were included.


It's astonishing how amazing the chase of the original "Italian Job" still is.

Looking at the list, i couldn't help but wonder: is the short clip at 3:00 the scene from "Les Rivières pourpres" where Niemans is chased at night? Haven't seen it in a while and can't find the bloody DVD.

Bond's AMC Hornet and Bandit's Trans Am jumping around 5:02, that had a nice touch.

And damn, i love Ronin.

>> ^looris:
dead cinema british
btw I hate that movie.


LOL, wonder if it has anything to do with you being Italian?

Probably Universal: Italian Job

I second that Michie, along with The Italian Job - it's a travesty.
