Perhaps you’ll want to ready my review of the 2003 version.
I’m already surprised how contemporary this looks.
Are we leading up to a stop on a bridge?
That is a LOT of black smoke. Forget the car would never crush that way.
The wreath is a funny touch.
Four meals a day!
Knowing Michael Caine first in his older form, this younger looks like it is dubbed.
A simply droll conversation with the very upscale garage.
Suitably tussled and tired.
Nothing like watching a film of someone watching a film of someone explaining.
Why would he leave this? Just because it was too beautiful to be left undone?
A funny toilet scene :)
But how is he has to hold it.
I dare say Mr. Bridger has an unhealthy obsession with the Queen.
Terrible sound management with the squeaking toys over dialog.
An expert in computers in 1969 is hard to come by.
Benny Hill in an actual movie!
Big William for obvious reasons :)
Is this how criminals play duck-duck-goose?
Is Mr. Bridger a penny pinching criminal financier?
So far this is not a thrilling action movie. If only I could watch it at 1.25 speed.
The hillside of men in suits has a creepy and intimidating element.
Even car crushing is boring.
You have a cliff right there… there you go.
Whoa! An explosive bike or a very shoddy power station.
I’m half way through and I’m holding out hope Michael Caine will provide me a prolonged big finish :)
Now a prolonged period of f-n around that is supposed to be final preparations, and issues.
He just said turn it up! Why are you repeating the line? Bad ad-lib or bad writing.
What a horrible sound when each screen goes out. Sounds like someone off camera whimpering.
The question now is how much stock footage of traffic are we going to see.
Helmets on. Are we finally ready for some action?
That vehicle should be able to bust through that door a lot easier.
Grabbing chicken around the bend is a chuckle.
“Osgood is good” is the most in creative sign.
Wow! The wedding party doesn’t even flinch.
You can see the slap coming, but a double slap…
“Put your foot down” during a chase is not a line worth repeating.
These cars have a gawky amount of headlights.
Maybe it was known at the time but I don’t understand the prison and Mr. Bridger thing. I certainly don’t understand the prison cheering.
I do like the Self Preservation Society music.
Wow! The last car corroded a superfluous bomb.
I was already nervous but given the time left I thought we were gonna skip any shenanigans with winding roads.
Why are they standing to move?! Why is he taking his shoes off?!
Don’t tell me one bar… Oh s#*+!
Even if I adjust for the time period this movie is poor. Who came out of this in 1969 with adrenaline coursing through their body… only someone who fell asleep and had a better dream.
The Wikipedia on the ending is an interesting read.
