Don't know if any of you guys have seen the film yet, I Watched it the other night,

Wasn't great but wasn't to bad either,think with all the inaccuracies with the cars i was

especting worse, Gave some insight to the man which i didn't know ,let down by a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC

on the Ferrari stand opposite the Lamborghini one when introducing the new 1963 350 GTV which had a 1964 350 GT

instead, also the Ferrari Mondial racing a American specc

ed bumber Countach in Italy ,highly unlikely i would

have thought , a European one racing a Daytona or Boxer would be more appropiate .

Outside the Factory is a Dino ,not sure whether a 246 or a 206,couldn't quite see if it had bolt on wheels or knock-off's

but either way it was set in 1963 and i don't think the 206 Dino came out till 1968 , The people who made this film obviously

were not car guys and thought that their audience wasn't either, They must have seen the success of the Carroll Shelby GT40Ferrari

Le Mans battle and thought they could do the same but at least there was some famous actors in that to draw the punters in.

Even after picking holes in it i still quite enjoyed it ,not many if any at all car films made these days so a pat on the back for making it really .clap

I don’t know why there were soooooo many inaccuracies in it, which distracted.
Made it look as if they didn’t care, because none added to dramatic effect.

They probably thought that 99% of the viewers wouldn't notice or care and they are probably right.

Most people who love Lamborghini's have never even sat in one let alone own one so wouldn't notice let alone question it.

It's just we are a different bread whether it's Lamborghini's or other great iconic makes you may follow.

I know i'm being a bit of a anorak but going back to tv series like "The Rockford Files "

Pontiac would give them a new gold Firebird every new series and you would see James Gardner coming into a corner

in a single headlight 1974 car with white wall tyres and exit it in a 1978 twin headlight Firebird without white walls or see a Rolls

heading for crash barrier and then watch a 50's Austin Princess Sheerline rolling down the cliff in a ball of flames,

Same thing really ,been going on for years with only a few noticing. but still annoying.rolleyes

A bit slow to get going but I did end up enjoying it.

I can forgive a few inaccuracies. What I can't forgive is a poor soundtrack for the cars. In a film about Lamborghini! What's with the 4 cylinder 350GT?

The scene with Ferrucio driving his Miura through the mountains was no 'Italian Job' either.

Felt the film was a missed opportunity. Here's hoping that 'Ferrari, the man behind the Legend' will be better.

The diesel Rolls Silver Cloud didn't sound to good either,

Would look forward to the Ferrari version but hope they read this thread first and take notice ,worst way we could get together

and do better ,there's enough choice of cars between us scratchchin

I watched it on Saturday night, paid £3.99 to download via Amazon.

It is low-budget, badly acted and altogether a bit embarrassing. Pretty much everyone over on IMDB agrees.

I'd say watch the online trailer and you've seen all the best bits, save yourself 4 quid.

It's terrible.

Gabriel Byrne is a long way from The Usual Suspects.

The repeated flashbacks to the Mondi/Countach are extremely cringeworthy. I don't know if the old man ever drove a Mondi as he was pretty old by that time.

Just read a few of those IMDB reviews and now wonder if it will ever be shown on terrestrial tv if it is that bad .

I also thought it was one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Why would Enzo be driving a Mondial anyway? And the model car on his desk that it's supposed to represent is a 400i if I'm not mistaken.

They also completely skipped the story of the Countach, although so much of what must be a great life story is missed out that it's almost irrelevant
