This is in fact a recent remake - featuring a different director, different cast and different story (and not based on the novel by JG Ballard... ....although it may be that some of the cast had seen the original... ...however it's difficult to determine whether their performances were driven in any by the experience... ....I dunno, ask Mr Spielberg [tee-hee!]).
Anyway, it's a good film and I'd be interested in the views of you good gun-toting folk (whom I only refer to as 'good' due to the gun-toting bit... never upset an American with a gun. Actkshully, I married an American with a gun, so I pretty much have to watch myself 24/7... I just hope tonight's lasagne goes down well... ).

They tend to have major technical flaws, like a guy repeatedly pumping an obviously empty shotgun followed by him firing a shot with it, which is impossible. Other gun-in-media flubs that are common are law enforcement officers in movies and on TV breaking all the rules of gun safety, showing civilians sporting fully automatic weapons (which are available to them, but they cost over $10k and you have to jump through several bureaucratic hoops to obtain one), and my personal favorite, the gun that apparently holds 900 rounds because they fire that much and never reload.
Guns and gun owners are rarely portrayed with any accuracy in movies, which isn't surprising since last time I checked Hollywood was still located in the People's Republic of Kalifornia...
I could rant for hours on this one, but I'd better just relax and have another Smithwicks...

I'll just go to someone who cares. Hey T3, on one pic of a Ferrari 365 California Spyder I noticed a tail light set that appeared to have "eyebrows" - can't throw down the link but I'll send you the pic if you'd like to analyze. Weird, ugly, and yet beautiful ... what was the deal, was that a one-off? Don't remember seeing that on any other California.

Do you mean the yellow reflector "trapezoids" filling the space above the triple light clusters? Not a one off at all.
Iirc, they used at least five different taillight forms.

Go through those pics at ultimatecarpage.com and find it, it's like the 10th page through, and you'll see what I mean.
As far as the "S" word, I just went by what they called it, I never get it right anyway.

Per http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.php?file=event_item.php&rid=88
"No search results for '365 california'. Try to rephrase your query and search again."
There were 14 365 Californias, at least five different taillight treatments, not one of them a SPIDER.

...There is no "y" in the Italian alphabet.

Cogentin - 13 Feb 2006 20:13 GMT > Jezzus... > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > ...There is no "y" in the Italian alphabet. On the top of the page featuring the photo it said "Ferrari 365 California Spyder". I cut and pasted it. At this point I don't give a f.ck if it was called "Baloney Sandwich", all I wanted to know about was the taillight treatments. I sent the pic to your email, anyway.
Sorry, bad mood. Today is one day I wish all children under the age of 18 could be rounded up and exterminated. f.cking blight on society. I'm certain that tomorrow I will feel differently.

Sure, pass it on. There are several different tail treatments, none of them nice, on these cars. I find them the ugliest of the open cars.
