I remember it. Remember it catching second gear a few times in the driving scenes, also it appears to be a 2 valve f.i. car but the soundtrack sounds like a carb. car to me.
Check out the drooping door mirror at 1:48! Magically in place a few seconds later, lol. Never seen this movie or these scenes. Good stuff!
Hahahahahaha Couldn't take the very mild G forces of the sharp turn. They only bought it brand new a few days earlier, what did you expect !!
I’ll use examples like Magnum, Miami Vice, BHC II and even this clip….is it me or do those cars just get treated like total garbage?
That's why when a movie production company calls to ask to use your car in a movie you just hang up straight away.
With respect, there is a difference between driving aggressive and abuse. I recall two examples of true professionalism. The first is Michael in a road going Maserati at Fiorano. The second is Ayrton in an NSX in Japan. They drove each to the limit, as is proper, but with precision and respect; stark contrasts to what I see on film.
I agree and was obviously being sarcastic. I liked the part when he was driving aggressively down his street while the neighbour was taking out the trash. That would go over really well in my neighbourhood.
Do you notice in all those shows they nearly always dub a screeching sound over the top whenever the Ferrari stops just to emphasis the speed.
Haha! Good point! I know the F1 cars always “screech” as they decelerate. Without that, who would ever know they’re really, really fast!
Actually, what you see in the movies and TV (especially from this era when little or no post-production magic or special-effects were involved) is highly precise controlled driving, done by professionals--not random car-and-coffee exit ramp hooliganism. Take a look at the ground at 1:55 mark. Notice the second set of tire marks from the first take the driver did. Just inches away from the set he lays down in what turned out to be the final take. That's not a coincidence. Odds are, the director said "can you get it a little more sideways?" after the first run--otherwise, the tire marks would have been virtually on top of one another. Any car movement on a set has to be very tightly choreographed. There is no schedule room or money for people to make expensive mistakes. And keep in mind that there were dozens of people, and expensive equipment just out of view of the camera. Professional movie stunt driving and racing are completely different sports, sharing only the need for precise vehicle control. To be competitive, a racer has to be constantly pushing the absolute limit of their own capabilities as well as the car. A stunt driver won't last a week in the business driving that way. The art of stunt driving is to make it *look* like you are at 10/10ths (or 11/10ths and out of control) while actually being at 8/10th or less--and being able to repeat that performance exactly as many times as the DP (Director of Photography) needs you to. Not breaking the car is also a big plus.
Yes but I wish the sound editors were as talented as the stunt drivers. I get that you have to dub in sound because what local mics can pick up is not film-worthy. And I get that the average movie-goer likes to hear shifts and screeches and doesn't know a 308 from a Supra. But chirping on 2nd and 3rd upshifts? And multiple shift sounds when the car is at a constant speed? OK, it's still better than other films where cars seem to have 10-speed gearboxes...
I have a former talent agent fencer who said the same thing. If they say that they will take care of your car / boat/ home its a lie.
