The Britalian Job
Remember that great scene in the original version of The Italian Job – the Mini chase through the city streets?
Well, to celebrate the partnership between the car manufacturer, Team GB and ParalympicsGB, a brilliant re-make of that particular scene has been released. It’s been titled The Britalian Job.
Directed by Phil Churchward, who is also the lead director on Top-Gear, viewers can expect to see three Mini’s (red, white and blue) driven by medal-winning Olympians through the streets, alleyways, and subways of London, in pursuit of a thief who has stolen some Olympic gold medals.
It’s very entertaining and, I think, very well shot.
All the dangerous stunts were undertaken by trained professionals – our Olympians are good but, come on – so don’t try recreating any of the impressive moves anywhere on or off the UK’s roads.
I’m enamoured by this little homage to The Italian Job.
Have a watch of the action yourself and tell us what you think!
