Turin & The Italian Job 50th anniversary: film locations, chase scenes & the FIAT factory roof track
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- A light-hearted 50th anniversary documentary on the original 1969 movie 'The Italian Job', revisiting Turin (FIAT Lingotto, Palavela, those church steps) and recreating the Mini Cooper car chase scenes (albeit with a remote control car and some match box toys) through the Piedmont capital.
Contains dodgy Italian pronunciation and some rather bad driving.
PS - more on The Italian Job film locations in Turin can be found at: www.theladytra...
PPS - to the true fans of the movie and the minis: I do apologise for using modern BMW models here (I couldn't get models of the original minis). Развлечения
Very nice presentation of my home town on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of The Italian Job!!
Oh, I'm so glad you like it Fabrizio. Thank you. Turin is one of my favourite cities, so this film was made with a lot of love x
What a lovely tribute to one of my all time favorite films thank you ,
...and what a lovely comment. Thank you very much James x
PS - there's a shorter version as well if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/peKnKmlaNuU/видео.html x
I'm an Englishman who's just moved to Turin, and I'm a huge fan of the original movie. This has really inspired me to rewatch it, and to visit some of these fascinating places!
@@thevoxxtv I’m so glad my silly little video has inspired you. I hope you settle happily in to your new home. Turin is one of my favourite cities in Europe x
Great film showing the many amazing places connected to the film. I used to work across from the Palavela and there was not a day I looked at that building and didn’t think of those three mini cars being chased by the hapless police fiat. Thanks for sharing.
I’m currently in Turin and I will visiting most of these locations. Thank you for making this fantastic video!
TOONARMYJOE93 thank you very much for such a fantastic comment! I’m glad you enjoyed my video and l hope you continue to have a wonderful time in Turin. A beautiful city x
The Lady pre-COVID-19 Travels It’s only my first day here and I’m already in love with it! I just watched the Italian Job in my room, is that sad? 😂 x
@@Burns1993Joe not at all! x
I am from Turin and I only discovered the movie a few days ago when it was mentioned in a youtube video made by a foreign (not Italian) real estate agent.
I think you did a great job!
Quirky, funny, great photography. Well done. Very enjoyable.
very interesting, thank you - and loved the outtakes at the end!
And thank you for your lovely comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video x
What a fab video, and love the outtakes too. Great job! 😎
Thank you ever so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it x
Beautiful city, nice documentary!
Thank you! Nice comment x
Thumbs just for the opening!
Brilliant!!! stunning city. :-)
A very informative and funny video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul. Thank you for your lovely comment x
I do remember the rowing club and the river...it became a long walk...to the bridge...it was Oct. 2019 - I remember it well; when my Air B & B cancelled my room as I was in the take-off position at the George Best airport in Belfast...it was the start of a great adventure in Piedmont...where I never drank any wine nor visited a vineyard...
if I'd only watched this video before I visited Turin...what a delightful help it would have made...
and the narrator's voice is so enticing to make a visit....
but, I did see someone driving the replica of James Dean's car and ran after it to take a photo; but the traffic lights changed and it disappeared, leaving me exhausted in a side street gesturing to locals about the significance of this event; to my amazement they looked in non-excitement - blaise or ignorance...
I'm so glad you enjoyed the Piedmont area. It's such a beautiful part of Italy, and thank you for liking my video also. I hope AirBnB compensated you for the inconvenience of cancelling on you at the last minute.
Much as I love Italy, I don't think I would have the nerve to drive a real car there. It was difficult enough navigating the remote control one! x
It's not quite 50 years on but because of your love of the film ill let it slide
Charlie Turner I thought I'd get everything filmed and uploaded a year in advance to beat the rush. Thank you for being so understanding x
Really interesting to see the locations used half a century later. Thanks
For your information, it was filmed in July, August and September 1968.
Then thank goodness I uploaded my film this year. Many thanks x
Excellent! Very informative and very humorous. And had you been driving the coach, The Italian Job would be 5 minutes shorter with no possibility of a sequel...
Hah ha! You're probably right x
Haha enjoyed this ta
this dj oh you’re very welcome x
You won't find the sewerage tunnels in Turin because they're in Coventry.
it's a remote control car!!!
0:15 - "...to drive like Michael Caine in 'The Italian Job'". Except Michael Caine doesn't drive in the chase sequence. He just sits in the passenger seat and barks out unnecessary instructions and criticisms at the man who's driving.
hebneh well, the way l was driving here it would have been best if l had driven like Michael Caine (i.e not at all!) x
@@Theladytravels i was in turin 2 year ago and the only place i could not find was the chase through the sub way were they go down and up steps
@@martynbush9550 yes, I had difficulty too finding the exact subway entrance and exit used in the movie. It was filmed in and around the subways of Porto Nuova, but the station has been significantly redeveloped over the past few years and a lot has changed x
@@Theladytravels i be back there next month so i know know were it will be between porta sosa and port nouva subways thanks for the info lady travels
martyn bush good luck finding it x
Brilliant!!! stunning city. :-)
It certainly is. I hope the Coronavirus passes very soon from there and the rest of Northern Italy x
