C'etait un Rendezvous - The movie that started it all
"It Was an Appointment" is one of the best movies i've ever seen, and it only lasts for about 8 minutes.
It consists of french director Claude Lelouch driving his Mercedes through Paris at 05.30 AM at incredible speeds. http://www.geocities.com/oflint/Merc...ot_Ferrari.jpg He races at great speed, having some close calls, almost hitting pedestrians - he has himself claimed that the he managed to hit 200 km/h. This is the movie that started "Street Racing" and everything between. Movies like the Getaway in Stockholm series was inspired by this movie, so whenever you see a car chase on tv through chinatown you now know who came up with it first. I hope you'll grab it of this tracker soon, just search for 1976. Have a nice ride people :thumbup: |

Nice video, but for the full movie experience you should grab the DVD from the tracker 8-)
Clear picture, High quality audio... |
While this is a great little movie, it really didnt "start" anything viz-a-viz car chases etc.
This type of filming had been around since the firs time someone hung a camera on a car. Even the 1971 French Connection had a similarly filmed car chase - not to mention 2 Lane Blacktop, Grand Prix etc. Nice movie none the less. :) |
It cant be denyed that this inspired atlot of the chases, i've seen many similar scenes in various movies...
But you have a point, it is not the mother of action... |

What this movie did was apply a daredevil unauthorized rebel twist to the filming. It was done on unmonitored open public roads without permission - it possibly pioneered that concept. :) Although I wonder how eal the Getaway in Stockholm series really are - I mean its not like the cops dont know who films them hehe. |
Yea, find it amazing too...
I mean, having a website and commercials on it + dvd's... They look like they don't care about the cops tracking them down... I'm sure they could if they cared enough... |
I've lost respect for this movie ... fucking artificial sound track, speeded up video. Basically a big con job.

But this was supposed to be a in-the-wild vignette using a Ferrari - so I guess it kinda does lose it's luster once exposed :) hehe |
Naah, the video was not speeded...
The sound was from his ferrari thats true... If this is really true...prove it! |
