Aww c'mon! Can you imagine how much better the FAST AND THE FURIOUS movies would be if they had more action caliope music in them? For some reason, I now want IslandRocks or Weird Al to play the soundtrack to THE ROCK but with a caliope.
Love where the Porsche's driver's window is down while off-road, then raised while returning to road and then its targa top is removed prior to reaching town.
Love this sequence. Strangely I have never come upon hot 1974 Alexandra Stewart driving like an F1 champ in a 911 Targa while out on the road, I only ever seem to get stuck behind overweight moms in beat-up minivans too busy yelling at their kids to steer straight.
This scene is just so much fun, who cares who wins. Porsche flat 6 vs Alfa V8, and to good drivers, who could ask for more. Bravo on the skill level of the young lady. She is one of the better drivers in movies that I've seen.
But didn't Goldfinger (1964) do this first? I admit the Goldeneye sequence is very similar to this but everything from mountain scenery to the DB5 is a nod to the earlier Bond.
I'm trying to find the calliope piece used on the soundtrack, but I can only find a few basic songs from this movie on the Roy Budd soundtrack. Anyone know where I could find a clean studio version?
911 Targa? Even it's name was wrong. Porsche gave it the name 901, having afterwards problems with Peugeot, which had the -0- in the middle of any of its models. I'd say, yellow water cooled beetle targa.
you are confused.. "901" wasn't a name, it was a model type number. they only started with names with the latest models , starting in 96, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan And you clearly haven't driven one , you wouldn't be as confused as to calling it a beetle. But it's ok.. the original Beetle was a Porsche too.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 Amen to that!!! There is nothing like being dressed to kill and being behind the wheel of your gorgeous machine when, out of nowhere, appears a sexy woman(also dressed to kill) driving her own gorgeous machine. You demonstrate your skills, she demonstrates hers. It truly is another form of lovemaking!!!
Any dame that can drive a 911S Targa like that is ok in my book.. It looks like the MFI on her car is running very rich, which well, you need a rich MFI for optimum performance, but it won't get you far if it's too rich :D
This is a great scene but, honestly its more like a "cat n mouse" type of scene if you will! The music in this particular scene sounds kind of carnival-ish so to speak! I think the music in that scene could have been a little more up beat! Not complaining mind you but, overall a great scene!
Friends... everyone speaks badly of this background melody in this scene, but NOBODY has said what its name and who plays it. Thanks to someone empathetic to tell me and responde this comment
Uggh, yet another vid that makes me sick that I don't own a racecar . . . Or even a reasonably fast daily driver that can handle . . . or even ANY car at the moment (hard times) . . .That Alfa is one bitchin' car though. Gotta get me some of those gloves for when I drive fast lol. Having your sweaty palms slip off the steering wheel after you jerk the car before cresting a small rise at 95mph (lofting the front wheels) to set the suspension for the oncoming turn is pretty damn scary.
Always Alfa Montreal before any of his coeval Porsches. Oh, and how wrong in terms of best cars, definitely not the here used Targa with the shitty Sportomatic, a semiautomatic with no clutch pedal, which was everything but sporty, was most of the times mistuned and tended to even more mistuning when You raced it hard - while it was originally invented as "the Ladies choice" ... I knew not a single one female Porschista liking it back in the time, though.
What's the message of this movie? That the yellow beetle is better than an Alfa Montreal V8, especially back in '74???? That yellow crap is just a water cooled beetle of the time.
Cool to see the Alfa Montreal being driven hard like that. Some fantastic driving in the Porsche as well!
the carnival music gets old fast. love the cars from then...
1970s car chases forever. They seem so much more "real" than ones in movies today.
Well that's because they technically were real, as opposed to the CGI-heavy crap seen in modern day BS like the Fast & Furious sequels etc. 🤮
I had to come back to see this scene just for that Alfa Romeo.
it's also a replication of James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), car-chase intro scene.
Gawd
Shoot the music director please.....
Aww c'mon! Can you imagine how much better the FAST AND THE FURIOUS movies would be if they had more action caliope music in them?
For some reason, I now want IslandRocks or Weird Al to play the soundtrack to THE ROCK but with a caliope.
Yes, brilliantly replicated in GOLDENEYE and replicated again in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2. That time HE has the Porsche.
Did you know that Mr Cain never learnt to drive till he was fifty yrs old! Not many people know that!
Love where the Porsche's driver's window is down while off-road, then raised while returning to road and then its targa top is removed prior to reaching town.
Targa drivers do weird shit.. trust me
Enjoyable from beginning to end. Easy to ignore the soundtrack.
Love this sequence. Strangely I have never come upon hot 1974 Alexandra Stewart driving like an F1 champ in a 911 Targa while out on the road, I only ever seem to get stuck behind overweight moms in beat-up minivans too busy yelling at their kids to steer straight.
Love this scene, but I had to mute all the way through and open a Morricone track on another tab. Suited better.
Send that track to me, if you remember it.
If you still haven't found a DVD look for it under it's US title, The Destructors.
You knew you in France in the 1960/70’s when you got a Citroen DS it was obligatory back then.
I sometimes get someone to race me, but you're hard pushed to find a man who'll drive like this and forget any women.
This scene is just so much fun, who cares who wins. Porsche flat 6 vs Alfa V8, and to good drivers, who could ask for more. Bravo on the skill level of the young lady. She is one of the better drivers in movies that I've seen.
Alfa Montreal 24/7
@McLarenMercedes Yes it is an Montreal, my favorite Alfa btw!
As Seen on Family Classics with Dean Richards
1:30 ALFA QUALITY :D
You cant put words italy and quality in same sentence.They needed at least 10 alfas to make that part of movie.
now that made me laugh, thanks
Alfa Romeo is a great car
? its sun shining, lights are not even switched on. Moron
@@topivaltanen4432 wrong answer, yoo probably mean german "quality"
Thank you!
But didn't Goldfinger (1964) do this first? I admit the Goldeneye sequence is very similar to this but everything from mountain scenery to the DB5 is a nod to the earlier Bond.
Quelqu'un a t-il le titre de cette musique à l'orgue de barbarie et qui n'est pas dans le CD de la B.O.
A decent chase, seriously hurt by the music--even more irritating than the bouzouki in Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch
I'm trying to find the calliope piece used on the soundtrack, but I can only find a few basic songs from this movie on the Roy Budd soundtrack. Anyone know where I could find a clean studio version?
@LondonUnderground186 à prendre avec l'ironie peut-être?
Would have been better with no music at all.
La musique craint à donf! Disons que ce n'est pas ce genre de musique que j'aurai choisi pour filmer une poursuite :X
Holy cow, it almost IS copied frame per frame in Goldeneye. Some parts are too similar to be a mere coincidence.
Is that an Alfa Romeo Montreal btw?
I doubt that the voice of Maurice Ronet (Inspector Briac) is the real one cause I've seen this. Sounded like Robert Rietty, am I wrong?
Was Walter Röerl disguised in Maureen ????????
3:21 I'd take all three in the background together with the Montreal ... girlfriend'n kids do have to have cars as well, don't they ?
This is no car chase but a car race.
From the days when there was only men and women - and cars... The real kind!
A much better world, without modern-day shitty left-wing politics and the idiocy named political correctness.
911 Targa? Even it's name was wrong. Porsche gave it the name 901, having afterwards problems with Peugeot, which had the -0- in the middle of any of its models.
I'd say, yellow water cooled beetle targa.

But it's ok.. the original Beetle was a Porsche too.
The Alfas trim comes lose at 1:30. Haha true Alfa Romeo! :P
what fucking trim, are u blind
Basicaly re writen in the 1970s as gone in sixty seconds.
Nice Video.Alfa Romeo against Porsche.
The year 1974. When cars were cool, and women could drive
Mentioning the yellow Porsche's female driver... is she Alexandra Stewart or Maureen Kerwin?
You have to be surprised that a mechanically wrong car, such as the yellow beetle, can stand an Alfa. No matter how it's brakes were.
Hold on, why does the alfa romeo have a 6 cylinder engine instead of an 8 cylinder?
how can you tell from this film section with the carnival music drowning most engine sounds
It's an 2.6 V8
Very nice! It also reminds me of Goldeney. They copied the scene from this film.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 Amen to that!!! There is nothing like being dressed to kill and being behind the wheel of your gorgeous machine when, out of nowhere, appears a sexy woman(also dressed to kill) driving her own gorgeous machine. You demonstrate your skills, she demonstrates hers. It truly is another form of lovemaking!!!
As I mentioned in my previous comment of this pretty cool sequence I don't really care for the "carnival" type of music!
Any dame that can drive a 911S Targa like that is ok in my book..
It looks like the MFI on her car is running very rich, which well, you need a rich MFI for optimum performance, but it won't get you far if it's too rich :D
I like how she does an about face to flash her headlites?!?@ at her "competitor"! (See what you get if you let me win!!)
This is a great scene but, honestly its more like a "cat n mouse" type of scene if you will! The music in this particular scene sounds kind of carnival-ish so to speak! I think the music in that scene could have been a little more up beat! Not complaining mind you but, overall a great scene!
Friends... everyone speaks badly of this background melody in this scene, but NOBODY has said what its name and who plays it. Thanks to someone empathetic to tell me and responde this comment
It's a RACE not a chase..
Anyway, noted how the Alfa rusted between the start and the end ?
Montreal any day !
Likes the silver DS21
Excluding the music, this could have been a clip out of an old, nonexistent Modesty Blaise movie. Erotic car play, rare!
Idiotic music completely spoils the scene.
Most annoying music in a car chase ever.
おしゃれ！
Uggh, yet another vid that makes me sick that I don't own a racecar . . . Or even a reasonably fast daily driver that can handle . . . or even ANY car at the moment (hard times) . . .That Alfa is one bitchin' car though.

Alfa Romeo Montreal! Nice car.
How come the 911's targa top is in place for the whole chase sequence and is suddenly GONE as soon as they drive into the town!
#continuitydisaster :D
Maybe she took it down.
alfa means alpha , IT RULES
like everything made in italy its total second hand shit.
Tis is like the cars movie mqueen and his girl frieand racing
The music makes it unwatchable.
Great Michael Caine!
Michael Cain was always Batman
always Alfa, even though the 911 is one of the best cars ever made
Always Alfa Montreal before any of his coeval Porsches.
Oh, and how wrong in terms of best cars, definitely not the here used Targa with the shitty Sportomatic, a semiautomatic with no clutch pedal, which was everything but sporty, was most of the times mistuned and tended to even more mistuning when You raced it hard - while it was originally invented as "the Ladies choice" ... I knew not a single one female Porschista liking it back in the time, though.
Maureen Kerwin hmmmmm yummy
Why that stupid annoying fairground music?
Two nice cars but the rest ... wtf?
Screw both the cars, I'll take the girl.
Bad editing?
Ironic, as the director won an Oscar for editing
What's the message of this movie? That the yellow beetle is better than an Alfa Montreal V8, especially back in '74???? That yellow crap is just a water cooled beetle of the time.
911! :D
This would have been a wonderful scene but the music, unfortunately, is from SATAN. Otherwise, very nice.
FERRARI WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN AN ALFA
Change that fuckin music please
الله
FUCKING CIRCUS MUSIC RUINS IT
Didn't like the music
a bit boring, no?...
Terrible, just terrible. And the music EEEEW!
