Actually, you can see there they faked it. The Mercedes is a rare model and the footage is sped up and the smoke is clearly drawn in if you look closely.
@@alphakky I did not forget - love the A8 and everything about this movie (John Frankenheimer's last film) he hired F1 drivers to do most of the intense chase scenes - the A8 in full chat doing a four wheel drift through the roundabout is freaking epic
I'm a big fan of Citroen, but no way that it could hang with a MB 6.9.....That reverse burnout says it all......also the scene on the mountain road the driver is awsome....has that beast all over the road.....great driving skill.
I always considered this movie to be the spiritual successor to Michael Mann's Heat. Easily one of the best action films ever and the Burnout games and Alpha Protocol.
3:41 This was actually an error because the Peugeot that was following the Citroen had already been knocked out of the chase by the Audi at that point. Someone screwed up when they put the footage together. It would have been the Citroen immediately followed by the Audi not the Peugeot.
Great film, but in this clip, the fruit and veg sellers remain standing there during the shootout. Pretty sure they'd have taken cover. Another great film from Mr Reno.
They were right to do so , I think. They may have thought it to glorify the 6.9 but then would have made the guys look like a bunch of unprepared amateurs!
Irishman was good. Try pretty hard not to listen to any actors opinion on anything apart from entertainment, Hollywood is a messed up den of peado crack heads and those guys preaching moral superiority is a joke.
great stuff, no cgi, gereen screen crap. NOT as good as mcqueen bullit chase. AND I WILL NEVER WATCH RD again agter his insulting POTUS act. BOYCOTT. but this was a great movie. RD love being the tough guy but hates us common folks and out 2A
One of the best action films of the '90s. No more words needed.
*One of the greatest action movies ever.*
A highly under rated movie! Excellent cast, well directed and great chase scenes.
an example of how not to edit a movie
Under rated where? In your head? Is a succesful movie bro, wake up.
No. Ronin was a huge film. You are perhaps thinking of something under-rated.
i forgot how good this movie is
It’s fantastic isn’t it? Jean Reno is really amazing in this - actually the casting was perfect
0:56 He’s got an air pod in, way ahead of its time lol
A walkie-talkie great distance that time and a cellphone
Uhh... No. In ear mics were around way before Apple.
@alphakky it looks just like airpod tho

How that 6.9 goes from reverse to forward spinning the wheels the whole time in one seamless movement, great piece of driving. Great movie

@@tillscheller that was painfull to watch really
W116
They also used dollies on the wheels to make the car spin like that. It was all fake. I saw the behind the scenes.
W116❤❤❤❤
Epic duel between the XM V6 and the big block Mercedes - I have a soft spot for the Citroens but that MB is a beast!
It's a W116 Sonderklass
Nope, you forgot the mighty Audi S8 with quattro. Rather shocked that that V-6 Citroën actually stayed ahead of that Benz...

6.9 is on the bucket list...
I can't believe they made a Citroën look fast XD true editing skills
That J turn is absolutely perfect.
That reverse burn out with the J turn is one of the best I have ever seen
There is no better movie with iconic cars than this one.
I always considered this movie to be the spiritual successor to Michael Mann's Heat. Easily one of the best action films ever and the Burnout games and Alpha Protocol.
Very poor CGI at 2:29, but still an incredible movie
That part always kills me. Such an amazing scene, otherwise.
Отличный фильм, с отличным актерским составом, с великолепными погонями, смотрел его не один раз, классика!
3:41 This was actually an error because the Peugeot that was following the Citroen had already been knocked out of the chase by the Audi at that point. Someone screwed up when they put the footage together. It would have been the Citroen immediately followed by the Audi not the Peugeot.
W116 in action. Yeah boy!
That XM V6 is a cool car.
really?
Even better the Merc!
For my opinion one of the best action film with robert de niro after the film heat. Absolutely cool film.
Different decades of cars in this scene: Daimler S-class W116 vs. Audi V8 and Citroën XM? Nevertheless cool movie👍!
My all time favourite action movie
Great film, but in this clip, the fruit and veg sellers remain standing there during the shootout. Pretty sure they'd have taken cover. Another great film from Mr Reno.
The ONLY thing wrong with this film is the fake smoke when doing the J turn.
Great film!!
Aww man! You ended it just when the good part starts with that Audi S8... Quattro roolz.
Top actors , sublieme atmosphere , great soundwork , unique story
Saludos desde Costa Rica.
Es un Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9, w116
🤦♂️ yes everybody knows
Chances are, if someone is watching this-
THEY ALREADY KNOW!
Do you really have nothing else to say?
I wonder if it's written ON THE DAMN TITLE OF THE VIDEO
El mejor Merc, me fascina este carro, una bella bestia❤❤❤
@@rudiknapen4863 Not so sure about that, only real petrolhead know that
Ha ha. Cannot beat a bit of farce. Loved the instant salad for the fruiterer.
Such a great movie 💯
0:55 Such good espionage they had Air Pods Pro in the 1990s.
It was cut from the final version of the film, but the 6.9 had to stop for fuel in the middle of the chase
lol
They were right to do so , I think. They may have thought it to glorify the 6.9 but then would have made the guys look like a bunch of unprepared amateurs!
Didier Auriol, 360 turn, mercedez benz 450...6.9... beast car...
I don't remember that car ever having animated smoke in the original movie. Am I wrong?
Saw this in the theater and it was always animated poorly.
The only real smoke is when he first puts it in reverse and floors it.
"I need NOS but I can't execute a basic pit maneuver." -S8 guy
Hard to get someone's tail to spin out when they're next to a wall.
The camera car was a modified 1991 Mercedes 500E
That second cut with the CGI kill it for me.. everything else is so good.
Great chase.. one glaring mistake was Reno would have been backed in to that spot in a real scenario.
Wow . Mega Action😎😍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆👍💪💪💪❤️
Get lost w that MB, gimmie that Citroen XM!
I really cannot fathom why, but this guy just has cool sussed completely.
6.9 power
- Å fan!
2:28 great control.
It goes from car pursuit to demolition derby!
Deniro one of the best actor, but last few years is a shame. Plus all political involvement...
Irishman was good.
Try pretty hard not to listen to any actors opinion on anything apart from entertainment, Hollywood is a messed up den of peado crack heads and those guys preaching moral superiority is a joke.
Audi S8 line quattro
where's the rest of it?!
love me a good 116 diesel

If that fruit stand seller that got shot up is the one that was selling the counterfeit Eveready AA's, that I am fine with it.
Ha, such a Mercedes is not nearly as good as a VW Beetle from 1967.
😆😆😆
Cant compare, this is a beast of car❤, the VW is also a exellent car, was one of my first cars.
6,9🥺

The chase is not impressive. Mostly special effects except of the backwards turn ..
The chases were actually filmed on location, in those cars at high speeds. Yes, the explosions probably were effects.
What a pointless, awful film this was. De Niro's decline started back in mid 90's.
Cool movie, what about awful in that movie? Great action, car chase, good performance of all actors
