Movie "Bourne Supremecy" has lots of MB action

They wreck about a half a million bucks worth of MBs in a couple of cool car chases. Movie's not that great, but MB action makes up for it.

Wunder if those were E320's or E420's, the speed squad!


Couldn't stand the damn cinematography. That shakey camera work is supposed to be cool or something. Guess it goes a long way in covering up stuff.

Also, the side air bags didn't deploy in the G500?

The reason I went to go see it was the CNN reviewer said it was the greatest car chase ever filmed. He's got to be fired for smoking crack. No where near Bullitt or French connection.

I couldn't make out any badge numbers. I really thought they were 420's for some reason.

The Russians pull the air bags out and sell em for life rafts.

I didn't get that whole shaky camera thing. There wasn't any of that in the first movie. All and all, it was a disappointment - the story was predictable and the camera work was crummy. I guess now I'm going to go get disappointed by "I Robot" next. I still think the best MB chase was in one of the Die Hard movies -3? I just don't see how thse guys could have wrecked so many nice cars and come up with such 2nd rate film.

Hey, I just came back from seeing the movie. Meh, it wasnt anything special, like someone else said here "very predictable". However the cars were great in the movie. One of the W124's in the chase burned oil That E28 bimmer wasn't bad and I really like the W210's taxi cabs. My friends think Im crazy because I told them the movie sucked except for the cars.
I also like the part when he's driving through the Alps in the E28.

But yes the MB's looked sweet, it's just too bad that they got crushed!

I like how the police got on the radio, said theres a high speed chase, then cuts to the three bad-a$$ w124s moving like bats out of hell to go catch him, very symbolic.I think they sounded like V8s, i drive a I6 every day and they were a tad more aggressive, but I could be wrong.

Does the European G-class have side airbags? It seems they have less safety implimentations over yonder. I liked the movie, it was pretty good action film. Camera did suck tho, it was real kool in the first one, why did they change it?
