The stunt driver Remy Julienne has just passed away aged 90, January 2021. He also worked on 6 James Bond films as well.

Having seen this film countless, I always notice something new. Now you have added to that list. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Had tears of joy, watching youtube'r Ian Tyrell drive that Muira through the alps, talking about how they found it. Thanks for sharing

In hindsight, British Layland should have been grateful for the publicity. The Mini is an Icon thanks to this movie. And a great movie it is.

Nice to watch this over a quick Lockdown lunch. One of the best films ever made, since it's in all kinds of pop culture and people know about it who weren't even born at the time.

I saw this film when I was about six years old, in the theater. I loved it, then I grew up but the movie stayed with me, or at least bits and pieces did. I especially remember the bringing the minis up the ramp into the bus and when they threw them back out. I also remembered a scene where someone, and by then I had forgotten the actors, threw a bicycle into an electrical substation and knocked out the power. Beyond that I knew so little. And I couldn't find out any more and I searched through Leonard Maltin's annual guide for years trying to find this movie, I had no name for it, and I honestly thought Dean Jones was in it(because in 1969 when I saw it I was six, every movie I saw, mostly Disney, had Dean Jones in it). Jump ahead to 1998 and finally by putting in a few elements I remember into IMDB I found it. I ran right out and found a VHS of it at a local video store and since then I have watched it periodically, updating to DVD when I could. I love this feature, which has told me so much more about a movie I have loved for many years. Thank you.

This classic beats the hell out of the mediocre remake.

I enjoyed this a lot thanks ,

Very nice review!
-
Very interesting you can't stop watching the movie. The most interest is understanding knowing the role played by casts and producers.

Great video. As a Coventrian, I often tell my friends about the sewer scene. For 100% authenticity, please note that "Sowe" valley is pronounced locally like "sow" [a female pig], not like "sow" [as in seeds].

the land rover tow truck was an actual tow truck which belonged to the father of the actor who plays the character "dominic" in the film, the landrover was his fathers garage buisness tow vehicle which was enhanced by the prop guys with mesh window covers and jerrycans, otherwise it was as used by the garage...it was last uk road registered in 1992.....he also owned the jaguars, the thames 400e crewbus and the ambassadors daimler...the alfa police car does not appear in the sewer scene as it was filmed in the uk..look carefully in the film and one can see the police car chasing the minis in the sewer has three grille mounted spotlamps....its a mini with a police light on the roof!!

The sounds of the screeching tyres were recorded in Aldershot in the Multistorey Carpark then dubbed onto the movie.

Somehow I can't imagine Robert Redford saying "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" I didn't work out the weight of the gold, but if they stole half a ton and divided it between three cars, then each would have to carry 1/6th of a ton - those cars should have stood up on their rear ends during the rooftop jump. Apparently Collinson did the "waving the cars aboard the bus" becaues no stuntman would take it on, thinking it too dangerous. Ah, yes, Crime Does Not Pay. The first film I ever saw where they get away with it was Kelly's Heroes; right up to the last second I was waiting for something to go wrong, because something always did, and then the credits started rolling and it was a shock to realise that they DID get away with it.
