Rendezvous

[nubbin]

Aha! My DVD copy of Rendezvous has just arrived! I can't wait to go home at lunchtime for 9 minutes of electrifying action!!

[Bonce]

Wossat then? Porno?

Whats a Rendezvous???

[plotloss]

Its a french director and a racing driver (rumoured to be Jacky Icks (sp?)) driving a V12 Ferrari through Paris at obscene speeds at about 4am.

Someone once said that it was the most anti-social film ever made.

Ahh, I have seen it then, as I have certainly downloaded a film off this type off the Net.

Not seen this but have seen the video of the bikes doing the Paris ring road....very quickly!!!!!!!

[nubbin]

Watched it at lunchtime in 5.1 surround, ear-bleedingly loud!! Just the most exciting, visceral film ever made! Get a copy, NOW!!!! Absolutely totally anti-social petrolhead speed junkie brilliance!! I laughed, cringed, swayed, and ended up sat stock-still, muscles clenched, mouth open, unable to speak! Absolutely fantastic!!!

yeah it is amazing the first time you see it, I got it on VHS from the states last year, cost about 50 quid !!

The big question is "Do you think the engine noise is dubbed over the film??".....

I ordered mine last week.. looking forward to getting home tonight to see if its there..!

I've watched the 9 minute clip and the only questions I have is, are the tyre squeals added for effect as there is a lot of it going on - bit like a cheap American programme, you know tyre squeel on grass etc.
The other thing is, some of those gear changes are pretty sharp, but the camera never dives or lifts a little with the forces.
Not that I'm taking anything away from it, it is a superb piece of film! Perhaps it's something to do with the quality of the clip I have?

[Simonelite501]

Sounds great! What year was it made then?

Forgot to mention I have the Kawasaki bike vid on MPEG (56mb) this is a daytime blast around Paris with lots of traffic, in between cars at very high speed!

Also have Rendevous on MPEG (62mb)

If anyone wants these I'll try to post them somewhere!

Yes, sadly I think most of the sound effects have been added - I mean they didn't record in Dolby 5.1 in 1976 did they?!

[whitey]

dunno, my VHS copy is not obviously in 5.1 !

I mean if you listen all the gearchanges just don't seem right, there seems to be too many and although it sounds like the car is flat out in 5th or 6th gear the visual road speed does not look right ??

Yup another question I had.

My DVD copy arrived today. Absolute insanity. I'll hopefully be watching it again on a 56" TV tomorrow.

Hmmmmm, I'm hearing strange voices in my head, telling me to take the porker and camcorder to Paris for a little early morning action. Any PHers calling into Paris en route to Lemans this year?
