#CarChase

"Le Casse" (or in the USA "The Burglars" and parts of Europe "Le Coup") is a crime-thriller about a couple of thieves who want to heist a gemstone from a collector home living in Athens. A movie, which was written and directed by Henri Verneuil (1971) Apart from Athens, the producers also shot in other Greek islands, including Piraeus and Corfu - and this car chase was shot in Piraeus.

Στην Ελλάδα, γυρίστηκε η ρεαλιστικότερη καταδίωξη στο παγκόσμιο σινεμά
Οι καταδιώξεις αυτοκινήτων που έχουμε δει στο σινεμά είναι πολλές, αλλά αυτή εδώ είναι η ρεαλιστικότερη και γυρίστηκε και στην Ελλάδα.
Η ταινία στην οποία υπάρχει η συγκεκριμένη καταδίωξη λέγεται „Le Casse“ και γυρίστηκε το 1971. Σε αυτήν πρωταγωνιστούν ο Ζαν Πολ Μπελμοντό και ο Ομάρ Σαρίφ, ενώ το video έχει ανέβει στο youtube στο κανάλι „MikeAndMechanics“, ενώ η καταδίωξη ήταν και η πιο δυνατή σκηνή της, όπως λένε και οι ειδικοί του κινηματογράφου.
Εμείς, προφανώς ως site που ασχολείται με το αυτοκίνητο δεν μπορούμε να μην αναφερθούμε φυσικά στα αυτοκίνητα και στους οδηγούς τους. Έτσι, έχουμε στο κόκκινο Fiat 124 Special T τον κορυφαίο τότε κασκαντέρ/οδηγό Remy Julienne και τον Remo Mosconi στο Opel Rekord.
Οι δυο τους ταλαιπώρησαν τα αυτοκίνητα όσο δεν γίνεται, αλλά μάλλον πιο πολλές ζημιές προκάλεσαν σε κράσπεδα, σκαλοπάτια και κάγκελα παρά σε αυτά Προσωπικά βλέποντας την καταδίωξη αυτή, εκτός από τη νοσταλγία που ένιωσα στην εικόνα του Πειραιά το 1971, καθηλώθηκα από την αληθοφάνεια της γυμνής από εφέ και γραφικά δημιουργήματα του υπολογιστή, καταδίωξης! Για αυτό και επέλεξα να την χαρακτηρίσω ως την ρεαλιστικότερη καταδίωξη!

... sad news friends - Monday the 06th of September 2021 Actor _Jean-Paul Belmondo_ , one of post-war French cinema's biggest stars whose charismatic smile lit up the screen for half a century, has died Adieu 'Bébel' R.I.P 🌹 🙏

You can see why the first Toyota Coronas were engineered from a Fiat 124.

one of the best car chases of the 70s; along with The Seven Ups. The French Connection, What's Up Doc, Smokey and the Bandit, are all considered to be top 10 car chases of the 70s.

[@miguelverdial1701]

Great movie scene, the only problem is that the Fiat will easy outperform the Opel ,the Fiat had 95 hp ( fist version) the second version had 105 hp for only 950 kgs! the VW golf GTi years later only had 110 hp.....I guess that the Opel only had 65 hp for more than 1000kgs

[@FenderTele]

I'm with you on that, my father had one and loved it. His friends in the likes of mini coopers were surprised!! Unfortunately the fiat rusted out I wonder how many of them still exist?

[@SallySallySallySally]

This was Bullitt-level stuff and then some. Well over 50 different shots all assembled by the unsung heroes behind all movies -- the editors. Very few botched takes requiring jump cuts too. And they had the sense to keep using the same model cars in every shot!

[@omarko9708]

Great stunt driving !! Way ahead of its time ! The 70s brought much better stunt driving than today's. Nowadays are more tech, but earlier they were more realistic; except for Lethal Weapon IV which had amazing car chase sequences.

[@mustavogaia2655]

I sense that no city authorities were informed of this. Some "extras" seemed genuinely startled.

[@vrozos]

Indeed, it looks like some scenes were filmed under non-controlled conditions. Greece was under dictatorship at that time, it just required to take approval from a high-ranking military officer and you could do anything. This makes these scenes even more breath-taking.

[@NGKGMR]

I live in Greece and i have to confirm that the authorities do nothing.they just try to make money from inocent people.i am 13 years old and 5 policemen came to me and nearly arrested me because i jumped a 4 stair in a private property on my bmx.the ironic thing is that 5 kids right next to me were trying to steal a car

[@SparrowNoblePoland]

@@vrozos I remember my holidays in the region of Olympus, I was surprised that many Greeks around were speaking fluent and pretty much complete Polish language. I asked some Greek do they learn it for tourists, and he said they learned it while living in Poland as refugees after the military coup. I myself learned some ancient Greek during my studies. I don't speak it anymore, but I remember the sound, I think Greek is one of the most beatiful languages that exist.

[@trucktrucker5043]

@@SparrowNoblePoland There is a mistake.Greeks who refugiated in ex-communist countries,incuding Poland, did it after the Greek civil war in 1949,most of them being communists and partizans of EAM (Hellenic resistance movement during WWII attached to communist party).After the install of the military regiment in 1967 (widely known as junta),some Greeks refugiated in Western Europe (France,UK,Sweden,Italy etc).

[@sheriff85]

on today's cars power steering is so light that you can actually drive it with your little finger, also a lot of bad plastic inside and outside, and also a lot of trouble and near-broken nervous system when you have to change only a light bulb on the car... when I drove grandfather's Lada I realized what a real car is. sadly, both (my grandfather and his Lada) are not with us anymore. :( as well as movies like Le Casse and actors like great Belmondo...

[@AlainK-Official]

Jean Paul is still here, just slightly less powerful 😁

[@bobcuriston5402]

As I remember it, except for the episodes with the stairs, it looked to me like normal Athens traffic.

[@Lefab3470]

Absolutely....Verneuil said he wanted to have a car chase better than in Bullitt , the way to do it was to film the cars in real athenian traffic.....Because in Bullitt, the streets are desert.

[@sharkonesega]

Epic. I want to see this film.

[@MZarkov]

Crazy... American car chases usually feature muscle cars or big sturdy sedans that can take a bit of abuse. The euros did it with a tiny Fiat and an Opel. Not much leeway for the driver if something goes wrong.

[@3bar]

That's the appeal of this chase scene. Average, almost mediocre cars being driven beyond their limits.

[@MetalTrabant]

These were big sturdy sedans by European standards of the time...

[@Freelandrew]

American cars can't hold on corners like europeans and especially italian cars. The 124 was a reliable and fun to drive car with a small size engine from 1200 to maximum 1600 cc . Small size but responsive.

[@Lefab3470]

Of course i suppose it was difficult to find iconic or sport cars in Greece to make this chase?

not really. The 124 was a well-balanced car. The Opel however was a GM car and quite primitive, so really not the right thing for a chase. I guess they were trying to say the poor cop did well with what he was given.
