londonm Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 So, this has made me laugh for ages. Not the greatest John Wayne film, and features a insane car race that for all of you that know London is a bit odd. In the space of 3 minutes or so the Capri goes up Latchmere Road Battersea IN BOTH DIRECTIONS from what I can make out. Then he's suddenly on York Road approaching Wandsworth Bridge Roundabout, before hooning up Trinity Rd SW. He then wrecks the car after approaching Tower Bridge from the south, then somehow turning around without us seeing and ending on the south side again. This film is notable for featuring a young Tony Robinson of Blackadder fame, and shed loads of old chod that is probably worth a bit now if it survived. Life on Mars should have used this for reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_CG4GA2pqc Banger Kenny, overrun and Shep Shepherd 3
Shep Shepherd Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I love the way that the film flip-flops between locations which are many miles away from each other. It's as if the producers never expected anyone with a modicum of knowledge of the geography of London to watch it brickwall and Banger Kenny 2
Shep Shepherd Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Or, if they've got a really limited second unit \ car pool to create 'traffic' you see the same car over and over again. The Sweeney was notorious for that; amongst other cars, a red Fiat 850 coupe (apparently onwed by one of the production team) used to appear as sreet furniture in many episodes
overrun Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 The I.T. Crowd episode with the bank robbery sees the same handful of police cars go past the camera several times.
UmBongo Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 The pub brawl with Richard Attenborough? Cringeworthy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T-m2mr0uY0 However, the film is not too bad, and that pwick Baldrick does get dunked in the Thames.
