| What a ride!
This thing starts moving and doesn't let go of you until the end, at which point you wish you were still on the ride going. We were surprised that we'd never herd of this before, especially since so many scenes are in video games these days (and times past).

This isn't one of those movies you spend your time thinking about, just sit down, watch, and let the movie unfold before you. If you're looking for good entertainment, this is it. If you are looking for meaning and some sort of significance, look elsewhere.

Good fast fun! 8/10

Quotes

Tailor: We haven't seen you for a while, sir.
Charlie Croker: No, I've been away.
Tailor: Well, I'm glad you're out- er... back.

Goofs

When moving gold from the van to the Minis, it can be seen to be moved all at once by one guy. Obviously gold would be too heavy for this.

Alternate Versions

When the first E-Type is crushed on the mountain road, Charlie says, "You just cost him his no claims bonus." For the American release this was dubbed to, "...his insurance bonus."
