  • I have seen this film so many times. It's one of my favorites, but not necessarily because of the film's famous car chase. In fact, for an "action" film, there is little action here. McQueen draws his gun and fires it only at the very end. That's it…

  • Has anyone else seen this little gem? Wait for it, wait for it...or just skip to the 3:20 mark.
  • One of the few films I literally walked out on. I don't know what was dumber: the film or me buying a ticket to see it.
