Had a full rollcage, is about all. Was the sound actually from that car? (The other Mustang was an automatic.)<br /><br />The director/driver died while making a sequel, in '89. Killed by a falling telephone pole. His wife got Disney to make the 2000 version, which made a lot of money, $250+million worldwide. Wonder if she got any of it?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-11696751882851324052014-08-05T22:12:27.388-05:002014-08-05T22:12:27.388-05:00Old NFO - IF they had survived, most of them would...Old NFO - IF they had survived, most of them would indeed now be 'classics'. ;-)<br />One has to wonder how many budding film producers have a stash of cars tucked away - just in case.............Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-77614394070981466852014-08-05T18:29:03.579-05:002014-08-05T18:29:03.579-05:00Yep, so many classic cars... sigh...Yep, so many classic cars... sigh...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-1712504756447264092014-08-05T15:42:18.384-05:002014-08-05T15:42:18.384-05:00I like the end where he ducked into a car wash as ...I like the end where he ducked into a car wash as a twin was coming out. He even told them to wax it. The lady who took possession of "her" car was classic.<br /><br />I remember watching in the theater back then.
