Mr McQueen the governor of actors in the governor of races in the governor of cars when there was still a form of romance in motor sport heady days alas long gone
Hollywood, this is what racing fans want a racing movie to be. No driving at 100mph and speeding up the frame rate. No in-car footage with the scenery going by at 50mph. You get an actual race car and mount cameras on it. The chase car is a race car as well. With cameras mounted on it. Then you put the cars on the race track and run the snot out of them.
Alberto estoy de acuerdo contigo. Aparte de este actor tan carismático hay que ver la actriz creo de origen danesa que es de una belleza impresionante. Creo su nombre era Elga....
Actually I believe the film uses the GT40 sound for Steve's 917 cockpit & close up footage. You can really notice the distinct GT40 180 degree header sound at 33 second mark in this video sequence. In filming some of the on track movie footage the camera crew had a GT40 with the roof cut off & stuffed with a camera.
Is was 10 too in 1970... it was my very first movie without parents.... It myself and 2 friends that were brothers. One of was my best man 12 years later. We still talk cars today. This movie only fueled my need for speed. Thank You Steve McQueen for your truly dedicated work.
paxwallacejazz - When Porsche broke Enzo’s dominance at Le Mans it was a testimony to the triumph of technology. When Audi went “moneyball” decades later - realizing handling beats balls-out speed - they restricted the Audi design. Says a lot about what we’ve become: afraid of change because we can’t let go of old thinking. “We might become gay communists driving rice-burners!” (Or certainly bisexual socialists in Teslas)
Un très bon film qui n'a rien perdu....pas comme David Piper 🤷🏻♂️....les voitures de cette époque étaient de véritables cercueils, 400 km/h dans un nid en tube d'alu pour la 917 😱
"Steve McQueen is well ahead in his 917 as team Ferr...What's this, I don't believe it! It looks like there is a new contender coming up on the lead car's like lightning! Jim, is that the Mach 5?! It appears so, Larry, Speed Racer has made his introduction into the 24 Hours LeMans!"
I bet those cars were made from a very thin and light weight plastic by the way they bound the headlights with only using duct tapes. Maybe an early type of fiberglass.
Hi, and yes! Today the restorators have problems keeping that Porsches alive. Electrical problems and technical problems wit the chassis because some of the metal parts like the aluminium is giving up. Most times you can see these cars shown on exhibitions but not driving around with that icons of motorsport. Nearly all of the spareparts must be redone by handmade. Greetings !
Drazen Budis -McQueen produced the film, and to the extent directing applies in the traditional sense, he was the executive director (knowing his own limitations for this type of filmmaking), and he took the $40 million hit when the film was considered a disaster. But time has vindicated Le Mans as a masterpiece, and his heirs are probably laughing at calling $40 million a bad investment.
@@caseyjoanz 40 million in those days, wasn't that enough to buy a new Phantom F 4 ? Whether his heirs have recuperated that investment is quite another thing, if they did, it is rather via Bullit than by the sales of Le Mans dvd's etc., at least that's my guess.
If I remember correctly, Steve lifts on the last lap because he has a bad feeling about the car and realises it's not worth dying for. It's a long time since I watched it but I remember he kept having flashbacks to a fatality in the previous Le Mans.
