Car Movies: Pas de problème!


Leave it to the French to create the most wacky and entertaining car chase scenes! Like the Dukes of Hazzard, but without the tough American iron to absorb the landings, the stuntmen and European tin in this 1975 film take a beating. The leading man in his Fiat 131 tries to get away from the baddies in their VW K70, leaving a trail of wreckage in their wake.

It is surprisingly hard to find much information about this film online, but famous stunt driver Remy Julienne is credited as a driver. He later went on to do stunt work in many of the James Bond films. It turns out a Citroen DS makes a great ramp, french roads are full of talented stunt drivers, and a Fiat tends to fly better than a VW. This just makes us want to go buy an old Peugeot and make drift!
