The real one.  I did not remember them destroying 2 Jags and an Aston Martin in addition to the Minis.

Well, I hope he likes spaghetti. They serve it four times a day in the Italian prisons.

Been a while since I've seen tho original, but didn't it start with a Miura sliding off a cliff or getting destroyed in a tunnel or something too? Not that it was a real one (I hope)

Mob hit.  Miura met a front end loader or bulldozer or something.

The remake is one of my wife's favorite movies.  She thinks the original is, "Weird and annoying."  And yet... I still love her.

My parents just adopted a skittish female border collie, going by the name Charlotte at the rescue.    They re-named her Charlie, since Charlotte is "a bloody pig's name, not a proper dog name."  Of course I had to send them the "hello Charlie" scene...

The second one has Charlize Theron in it, so it becomes the real one. The first one becomes the prototype.

mob hit, that's right. The Miura buying it was a rough way to start a movie.

The remake isn't bad, they're just different movies. It's got a good cast, the action and driving are well done. But the original has a certain...style.

......The Italian Job’s opening sequence was shot using two cars, both supplied by Lamborghini, but only one of them was destroyed in the filming, while the other remained intact.
