In his prime, Owen would have made a fabulous James Bond.

[@xPirus26]

absolutely.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

He was considered for the role.

John Frankenheimer's last film. No one could shoot a car chase like him.

[@GlennDavey]

Is that true? Well this is a masterpiece. I still judge actions scenes based on this short film I watched 21 years ago. Everything about it is so tight and perfect.

The dealership I work for wound up with this car after this video came out. The bullet holes and damage are real and we displayed the car on the front lawn for people to gawk at as they drove by.....

This guy's business model makes no sense. The tiny stack of cash he got handed at the end of the job is nowhere near enough to pay for the replacement of the car. He is not even breaking even on these jobs...

No body makes ads like the Germans. 😎👍🏻

[@Pavelflash]

After Pierce Brosnan times there were few actors considered for the role. Christian Bale (after American Psycho preformance) said it is a story about an old Englishman and the series is 'too British'. Hugh Jackman said he was X-Men so didn't want to do more heroes. Henry Cavill was way too young, now he is to famous (Superman, Man from U.N.C.L.E, Mission Impossible) so I do not think he will be chosen. About Clive, producers refused to offer gross profit points for any movies Owen made in the role. (!!!) All 007 actors were unknown before they became secret agents. Also it is a commitment for + - 20 years, you need to accept and do lots of things (commercials, interviews etc.). I am not sure how many actors would be happy to do it. Will see who will be after Daniel is retired! :-)

Not really, 460 is a serious power house

[@bait28]

@Matthew Caughey the 460 in few configurations produced around 365 HP to almost 400 hp. It's not something to laugh it, both the e38 and Econoline weigh very similar. I simply hated my 460 only because it was hungry for gas, I personally prefer the 351w myself, or the 300 six if going smaller

[@bait28]

@Matthew Caughey I wouldn't describe a 460 as overrated, I've owned many different engine setups and the 460 has serious power, the MPG was just so terrible no matter what I did, used almost 4x the fuel of my 351w

[@bait28]

@Matthew Caughey 2 of my E250's have 460's, the E150 was never offered with a 460 afaik but the F-150 could also be bought with a 460
