- most definately a kick A movie!!! i have rented it and watched it 4 times
- (after my initial "say WHAT???!" when my GF bought tickets to the movie)
- just to see how many nifty cars i could spot! of course, i don't write them
- down, but what i can think of right now is: lotus esprit(my #1 car!!), Nissan
- 300ZX Biturbo(my #2 modern car), porsche of undeterminal(to me eyes)
- designation, but definatley of the 911 family, looked like a 930turbo to me..
- mercedes limo(eech..but if i didn't feel like driving...:-), nice saab(9000
- turbo? 900 turbo? something like that), and a couple i think i am forgetting..
- (of course, three of the above are shot in an extended chase scene!!!!!!!)
- hmm..Do i recall a land rover, too? not sure..
- ok, enough babbling!
-
- BOTTOM LINE:
-
- DEFINATE MUST SEE, JUST FOR THE CHASE SCENES AND THE LOTUS, IF NO OTHER REASON!
-
- best of luck!
