    Only a fool would take on a 50s mopar in a fender bending duel. They just don't bend. The in-car camera for the stairwell was freaking awesome
     

  5. There ya go. THAT'S what 4 doors are good for.

    I've seen movie about 4 times,it's great!!! a real cinema classic even if you consider the hokey filming and dubbing . really suspense ful and the catch at the end is worth waiting for.
    It's called the "master Touch" or " His masters touch" depending on where it was released and it starred Kirk Douglas and it's GERMAN!!! not italian!!
    The other vcar is a Opel Kapitan, a real rarity because it's a 327 Chev powered example. Very very few examples survive today.

    Car's kinda going through some Sybil-like multiple personalities throughout the chase scene. I thought in the end they might bury it in a time capsule for 50 years, and have a big-to-do when they finally dig it back up.

    very confusing thread title !" We europeans would never do that", I thought:D
    well, it´s actually an italian director and the chasing is filmed on the
    outskirts of rome. There are two german actors appearing in that movie and only some scenes are filmed in hamburg. The rest of the cast was italian.
    It´s typical for that era, it the 60´s and 70´s they didn´t care about movie mistakes or changing cars in an ongoing scene etc.
    It´s really fun to watch, thou

    Nads,there was an option for 283's in 1965 for the Opel Admiral and Kapitän.The Diplomat had the 327.Also was available as Coupe in very low numbers.I know of one and the guy who drives it is a 70's Elvis look-a-like...
