Car and other Films.

Post by OldTD »

Hello,

I like Movies, there are many great Aussie ones, but rare to see a Gemini. There was an Add, I think Bridgestone with a Gemini, what do you like ? Mad Max is obvious as is Stone and Running on empty. There are many other good Aussie films, and a number from the US. Here in Aus we understand US and British humour, both combined in Yellow Beard which was considered a flop elsewhere. What are your favourite Films ? Car or other .

Hello,

No one else likes Cars and Films ? There is a DVD from Duke Marketing called Crash Kings. ( it is a compilation of Rally crash's ) It would be many years old now, but has some great prangs. There are a few Kaddet's in it, plus some other interesting old Cars. When an Escort rolls, the boot always opens. Back wheels also break off. Worth a look if you get the chance. Some quite funny things happen.

Senna
Le Mans
Rush
Duel
Blues Brothers for the police chases

Running on empty is also sweet.

Hello,

Smokey and the Bandit was another I liked, most of the stunts were real, not computer made rubbish. There was also a 3rd Gone in 60 seconds, but a stunt went wrong and Toby was killed. I like to watch where they get things wrong, such as several sets of tyre marks and a Car fishtailing which then is cut just before it goes out of control. And crash damage that is not there next scene. Running on Empty has an XW they use, and the tail lights morph into XY. I often have a look at Movie Mistakes to see what else I missed.
