In the famous final scene there's a group of blokes very near the gold and a few farther back towards the cab, and the coach is balanced. If just one moved away the balance would be assured, more would be better. Then the remaining one could drag an ingot bundle towards him with no risk of upsetting the balance further and once that was done, gold being a very heavy metal, the recovery could have proceeded apace.
Also, anyone who knows anything about early Minis would agree that even heavy rain would drown the distributor so weir crossing would never have happened.
Other than that it was great!

The directors were reluctant to trash a new lambo and asked the props dept to cost out a copy.
When the cost of a copy was as much as the price of the lambo the lambo got it!
I did once see a list of the cars destroyed during the making and as well as the aston, e types, lambo, there was over 30 minis used!

just turned it on in time to watch the car chase, good timing
why on earth did they do the 'loading into a moving bus' business in the first, a load of time and effort for no benefit. why not just stop, load the cars, then go?
also, did the mafia boss say something about checking malpensa and linate, the Milan airports?

I'm going to go out on a limb here......action films would be less interesting if they stuck to common sense, physics, facts etc 98elise said:

Well, it took them three minutes to load the gold into the Minis when they did the heist, so that would have meant three minutes stopped on the Autostrada, and then the minis would have been left to point to where they were going. That would have been silly If they'd just driven the minis up to the mountains the police APB for three minis would have got them stopped. Also it was really cool.why on earth did they do the 'loading into a moving bus' business in the first, a load of time and effort for no benefit. why not just stop, load the cars, then go?

They already had men at Turin airport, as we saw when the gold was being unloaded. Milan was the next town over. Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
