Отличный фильм про дерзкое ограбление, совершенное англичанами.
Очень интересно было наблюдать за операцией.
А сцена погони на трех мини-куперах просто наикрутейшая!
Конец забавный, я смеялась.

Я как-то, давным давно, пыталась посмотреть фильм 2003 года. Не пошло.
Посмотрев фильм с Кейном, не очень хотела смотреть этот ремейк.
Но теперь я понимаю, что это не ремейк вовсе, а сиквел.
И тем не менее не горю желанием.
Странно, что в 70е не сняли то сиквела с Майклом.



Although it received a Golden Globe nomination for "Best English-Language Foreign Film", the film was not a success in America.
Caine blamed its failure on unattractive and misleading advertising.
As a result, plans for a sequel were shelved. - вот согласна. Оригинальный постер наидибильнейший.
Хрен знает кто на нем изображен и какое отношение он имеет к фильму ?!

The song "Getta Bloomin' Move On" (usually referred to as "The Self Preservation Society", after its chorus)
during the climactic car chase. Lead actor Michael Caine is among its singers. - аа, я знала!
Я подумала об этом, во время просмотра фильма !!!

In November 2004, Total Film named The Italian Job the 27th greatest British film of all time.

читать дальшеParamount Pictures chief Robert Evans originally wanted Robert Redford to play the part of Charlie.

The ending was changed to leave open the possibility of a sequel.

According to a "Making Of" documentary, producer Deeley was unsatisfied with the four endings
written and conceived the current ending as a (literal) cliffhanger appropriate
to an action film which left an opportunity for a sequel.
The documentary describes how helicopters would save the bus seen on the cliff at the end of the first film.
The grateful gang would soon discover that it is the Mafia that has saved them,
and the sequel would have been about stealing the gold bullion back from them.

In a BBC documentary to celebrate his 70th birthday in March 2003,
Michael Caine revealed his character's "great idea", and the deleted ending of the film,
as the gang's bus teeters on the edge of a cliff. "The next thing that happens is you turn the engine on," he said.
"You all sit exactly where you are until all the petrol has run out, which changes the equilibrium.
We all jump out of the bus and the gold goes over the cliff.
And at the bottom are the Italian mafia, sitting waiting for the gold."
The sequel would then have Croker and his men trying to get it back.

In a 2003 UK movie survey, Charlie Croker's (Michael Caine) line,
"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" was voted the most memorable line in any film.
