Great film, but i still dont know what was in that case Oh well i guess i'll never find out...

If your watching it, look how scared Robert Denero looks "driving" through Paris, if your have the DVD you will know what I mean.

Never noticed it first time I watched it

I read somewhere they used RHD cars, with the actors on the left with a fake steering wheel and the stunt drivers on the right - so they really were in the cars for those scenes.

Or Withnail & I on channel4 at midnight.

In-car and some exterior shots done with a driver in the back seat.

I though I read somewhere that De Niro did his own driving in that, and he looked scared because ... he WAS scared!

[Frik]

Skipp Sudduth did his own driving.

Not so sure about De Niro.

Is a cracking film, love the chase scenes.
Got it on video though. Think will watch it tomorrow.

[zaktoo]

Coincidentally, it was on here in South Africa yesterday evening (31st). Good film, and really great car chases.

Not according to a programme I saw recently. It was one of those ubiquitous "Top nn" programmes and this one was on car chases or somesuch. Apparantly they had a RHD car with a blacked-out stunt driver and a fake wheel for De Niro to hold on to to make it look like a LHD car. He was therefore a passenger the whole time which is why he looked so scared.

I want to know what happened in Vienna?

A recipe for a prequel if there ever was one.

One of my favourite films of all-time, but does anyone else notice the dust being kicked up by the camera car when giving a frontal shot of the XM going through the undergrowth every time they watch it?
