"you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
I first heard of this movie watching Graham Kennedy's IMT when he played the whole Mini chase sequence on his TV show. Unfortunately I had to wait for years before it came on the TV. When it did I loved it but it would be more years before it came back on. In the early 70s you couldn't tape stuff. But thankfully they invented video recorders and video libraries in the late 70s. The world of film was ours to ponder.
I guess I've seen this film more than any other. michael caine is my favourite actor. He 's great to watch at all times. It's even great to watch other actors impersonate him.
And the film fairly rattles along with no dull moments.
Storyline
Charlies' got a 'Job' to do. Having just left prison he finds one of friends has attempted a high risk job in Italy, right under the nose of the Mafia. Charlies friend doesn't get very far, so Charlie takes over the 'Job'. Using three Mini Coopers, a couple of jaguars and a bus, he hopes to bring Torino to a standstill, steal the Gold and escape.
