Yes, fine for those people who have never experienced the REAL thing, and
know nothing else. And where was the Italian element in that film, anyway?

A nice site for BINI lovers, maybe we should go to their newsgroup and spam
them with this???

There's no way anyone could watch that quartet of Mini Coopers zipping
around in the 2003 film "The Italian Job" and not think to themselves:
Man, I'd love to do that.
<much off-topic drivel snipped>

Unless, of course, they had seen the real thing. The difference
between the great classic film and the formulaic pastiche of the
re-make precisely mirrors the difference between the Mini and the BMW
thing. Appropriate really.

Now, if you want to see a real Mini car chase in a modern film which
is already a classic, try The Bourne Identity.
