The New Italian Job - Ed Norton, Ugly Guy, Charliez Theron (vroom) And Starring Mark Wahlberg....

30 red, white and blue miniz.

All were gutted for stunts

many were wrecked needless to say
I'm sure the left overs will be auctioned off... much like the GTO from xXx. (on Ebay - Over $18k)

Nice!

Allegedly, the chase scenes in this new film... AMAZING.

Good Day Y'all!

Been following this thread. I must of been lucky. About 2 yrs. ago I was in Wal-Mart and saw a display of 2nd rate VHS tapes for sale. Looking through I found the Italian Job, 5 bucks, lucky.

When I look at amazon.com site says "Italian Job" release date has not been set. Do they tell you ship date after you buy it?

It baffles me that the three greatest motoring movies of all time "The Italian Job", "Le Mans", and "Grand Prix" are not available on DVD. Especially considering all the drek that is available on DVD.

Yeah Baby! Thanks to this great web site & the generosity of Picoman, about 20 minutes ago I finished watching "The Italian Job". The movie itself is a little cheesy
but I sure enjoyed it. The car chase was great! The MC ruled. It was my first time
seeing a real MC Classic other than the internet. Watched the car chase twice. A
real thrill. If you have an interest in the Classic Mini, this is a must see film. I plan
to make a copy & share later on. Thanks again Picoman, my son said you are the
ruler of the planet. He likes for his old man to be happy.

Ever since I ordered my Mini I have been looking for this movie. Blockbuster did not have it so I tried looking through bins of old movies at Wal Mart and various other stores. I tried ordering it on Amazon after someone here said that they had purchased it there. WHen I placed my order Amazon said that they would ship it to me in January of 2010! Finally I was returning some books to my local library. I found a copy there! I have watched it twice. It is fun. I am now looking forward to the remake with the new minis. So try your local libraries.
