The movie was disappointing for me, but it did have lots of MB's in it. The chase scene with the police pursuit E classes is kinda cool. Keep your eyes peeled, the last E in the chase must be a diesel...blue smoke. I for one could not stomach the alleged survivability of that piece of sh** taxi he was driving

...piece of sh** taxi he was driving...


Against a G-wagen no less =)


In spite of a few overdone action scenes, I dig the movie, and my wife (not usually an action movie fan) did also. Seeing crazy numbers of MB's (even if they are all new MB's...) is not a bad thing =)

The only problem is you leave the movie feeling like you have stared at a strobe light for and hour and fortyfive minutes. What was up with that style of filming?

Yeah, looked like someone was shaking the camera like and etch-a-sketch through every action scene. Almost hurt my eyes to follow what was going on.
That G-wagen would have barely been scratched in that chase scene. I'm not sure on the exact weight of one, but I seriously doubt ANY taxi could have enough power to push one sideways like that.
I spent the whole chase scene with the E classes trying to figure out if one of them had smoked taillights while the others were stock. Looked like one of them did.

I think the vehicle in the opening sequences that ends up in the river is an Indian G-Wagon clone. Someone on this forum in India has one.

Too bad they killed off Marie in the beginning of the film. Too many jerky camera shots but a darned fine movie anyways.
