911 Targa car chase

Post by Midlifecrisis »

A friend sent me this link to a great classic car chase in The Marseille Conection. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QH57UJmgHX ... =c4-feed-u
I hadn't seen it before and was amazed how well choreographed it is, not quite Fast and Furious but without CGI they probably had to learn to drive back then. :)

I certainly wouldn't have attempted a 'Rockford Files' spin with my gearbox - perfect for a dogleg box though! Maybe that s why the music was so loud, to mask the crunching?

Great fun, but few anomolies , from sportomatic pedal, to crest on horn bar while hooting , maybe she was on opposite lock?

Unless someone else knows better I think Caine is driving an Alfa Montreal? Nice looking car.

Only thing is i can't imagine the handling on an Alfa Montreal to be anything like as good as it shows in that clip - the Targa would have pi55ed all over it!!

Marseille Contract or Destructors?

I knew it had two different titles but I didn't realise they were different.
