One of the major car magazines had an article a couple of years ago on the

making of the movie. I believe that they used around 25 cars total. The

scenes of her driving the original mini were not what they looked like. The

interior shots were of a car with a second steering wheel on the right side

that a stunt driver used to steer the car, she was just going through the

motions, but it sure looked good with her in it!

 

Saw this on a listing of autos for sale - $59,500

1963 Austin Mini Cooper for sale



Used in the movie, “The Italian Job” and was driven by Charlize Theron in the movie. You may never again have the opportunity to own a car that is both an automotive icon, and part of Hollywood history. This '63 Austin mini is a modern version of the original. A British version of a resto mod that has classic styling with contemporary drive train and components. Modern Austin engine and 4-Speed manual transmission, custom dash board, updated interior, rally lights, Minilite wheels with fender flair kits complete the look. This car is in better condition than when it left the factory, workmanship is excellent. Body, paint, brightwork and interior are equally first cabin.

 

That picture was taken at the Imperial Palace Car Museum in Vegas, I believe the car is still there.

 

Isnt this movie a remake of an original from the 60's ? If so, I need to get a copy........

 

The Italian Job - 1969

Michael Caine, Noel Coward, Benny Hill

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064505/

Not too hard to find a copy - it was even sold as a two pack, the new and the old when the remake was released on dvd. I frequently see it on the shelf at Best Buy.

On my cable provider, the Classics section of movies on demand has it listed.....

Now finding the CD soundtrack is a little harder....

 

They all had the John Cooper Works sound kit - if you check out mini uk you can hear a sample sound under accessories=>John Cooper Works, then put in Mini cooper, followed by up to 11/06

 

Mark Whalburg kinda dissapointed me in the special features. "I cant sit in the passenger seat of a manual. I get car sick." That paired with his "worst of the three" driving skills. I mean Mark-E-Mark is a bamf of an actor, but i kinda lost some respect from his wimpy comments in the special features and audio commentary.

I will leave ya'll with some Mark Whalburg comedic genius
