I absolutely loved these films when they came out and had no idea there were 9 of them!

Same here! I remember waiting endlessly for the dial up internet to deliver me the video goods...TOOK AGES

@@RetroCarsForever The first one I ever saw was the one with Madonna and the M5. It remains my favorite.

@@SaleProofCarReviews “Star” seems to be a real crowd pleaser and the one that everyone seems to remember best to this day. And for good reason!

I Just searched your channel for new content a few hours ago and BOOM Retro Cars Forever drops another masterpiece! Thank you, Brad.

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

Thanks so much! Yeah it's been a hot minute since I've posted a video, glad I got one in JUST in time for ya!

YESSS! You dropped another banger! Love you man, especially the style of editing. Never stop!

Glad you mentioned how BMW offered the films on a DVD for the cost of shipping. Excellent collection.

@RetroCarsForever Месяц назад

Great deal at the time! Though I think I got mine for free at a local dealership.

One of best trouble free cars I have ever owned 86 325 es, black manual transmission which I bought new. My son currently has it in his garage. He’s fixing it for his younger son, needs cam and clutch.

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

I've driven one of those, so fun! And relatively easy to work on from what I've heard from friends.

@Athena007 2 года назад

Perfect choice for number 1! Though… hottest Clive Owen ranked number 1 at 12:11. Lol, yeah yeah yeah I know this is about the car! 😉

Those 2000's era sunglasses musta did it for ya! 😂😎

While I may have moved a few around at the bottom, the top 2 are definitely spot on. And yes I also can get carried away when that song comes on while driving 😂

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

Haha glad I'm not the only one whose foot gets heavy hearing that Blur song! I'm curious to hear from other Hire fans...Which few at the bottom would you personally rank differently?

@@RetroCarsForever 9: Beat the Devil 8: Powder Keg 7: The Follow 6: Escape BTD is just a bit whacky to me lol

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

@@autoavids Heh, I can already tell from comments here and social media that "Beat The Devil" is the most divisive short of the series. Probably because the style is SO STRONG, and you either love it or hate it! (I'm somewhere in between, which is why I put it mid pack).

@@RetroCarsForever the whole "Meth trip" isn't for everyone 😂 Another song that gets me going is She sells sanctuary by the Cult. Can you guess the movie/scene?

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

@@autoavids YES! "Layer Cake", which starred a really cool Audi wagon if I recall.

@HotRod-wv4vm 2 года назад

Didn’t Pierce Brosnan drive a 7 series in one of the bond movies? That was my favorite

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

He did indeed, 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies! And weirdly, a 7 series ALSO featured in The Transporter of the same era...Not sure why everyone filming car chases suddenly wanted that car in all their films, but hey, they looked good!

@heidihobear 2 года назад

And now I miss my 740iL

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

Just realizing how that 7 series was the star of so many car chase films of the time! You had this, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Transporter...And I think I'm forgetting another one! Remind me, did you buy Brian Uiga's Tomorrow Never Dies car? Cant recall

@Rio356 2 года назад

It's a bmw G20. (not g3) @ 8:30

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

G20 was the 3 series. G30 was the 5 series (and it's clearly a 5 series featured in "The Escape"). I even double checked that they didnt used a G20 behind the scenes, but you can see the headlight shapes are of the 5-series. Easy to mistake the two, they looked SO similar in that era!
