Title: Cut to the chase!
Post by: SilverPig on November 28, 2006, 09:09:33 am
I know this has kinda been up earlier in the "Best car movie" topic...but this is all about the chase! I was watching "Ronin" last night, and MAN did they whip those car's asses around Nice and Paris! I was impressed by the sound from the XM's engine (never thought I'd say that!)...probably a 6 sylinder thing...or manipulated in post production...and the S8 is just pure porn! A few bloopers though...like the steering wheel in the S8, which in the beginning is the correct one, with the circular centre part, is later during the Paris chase suddenly swapped for a standard Audi wheel. Anywho...with the surround sound cranked all the way up there, this was a truly fabulous movie with two spectacular chases! :)

I saw it to Silver... and the tingeling for a fullsize Audi strarted all over again...  Did you notice the aircooled VW's in the movie?

Oh yeah.... but did you all notice how damaged the Audi became compared to the Citro? Headlights falling out, grill falling of... No wonder really, "everybody" knows how bad that multilink suspension is.

"Multiknirk" you mean? hehe.. The one thing about my Audi that I do not appreciate... nice when doing curves at high speed, but sucks to have to change those linkarms all the time... *sigh*

Agree...saw it too...and have seen it several times.
The true pornstar in the movie is the W116 450SEL 6,9 though...

Yep...of course the Bay, and then there was a brownish looking beetle sitting nicely parked on the road. Any other chase-infested movies I should waste 2 hours on watching?
