BMW Films - The Hire - Chosen

[eskercurve]

0:44 World Trade Center buildings. I didn't realize it had been more than 10 years since these shorts came out.

[SanGeorge82]

This film is a baroque spiritual driving poem.

[cooperunionstud]

forshadowing at 6:10



[alexsummerbell]

it's like someone just pumped the score on top of it as an afterthought. That really ruined it for me.

[edwlee78]

The Hulk at the end was a clever way for Ang Lee to let his fans know that he was going to direct The Hulk movie. It was pretty cool at the time.

[hannas1234]

What did the five finger say to the face? 5:41 Slap!

[manonthebrain]

Apparently in china it's " stop, turn off the car and turn ON the lights

XD

[Gabert1k]

Car chase is pretty lame, and there is no way that 5 series bmw can crash into an W126 and ruin its front end so much or drag it for about 10 meters, those old mercs are tanks!

[thedothedew]

@Gabert1k It was a crappy Kit of course! XD

[EURJeeves]

I can't believe someone would choose a Chrysler Neon for a car chase.

[fightrider187]

i´m scared of asians :-D

[captnmidnite]

i love the music they used in this,

[BMWE304Life]

You shoot at a kid... not kool.

You shoot at me... You done fucked up.

YOU FUCK UP MY INTERIOR... OH HELL NO!!!

[musewolfman]

3:24 : I've done that to my Neon...

[nelandquinten]

uh-oh, i see subliminal advertising for The Hulk at the end

[Moore2501]

wow I'm surprised there was no "tent" scene in it

[I3ar3]

They make driving as elegant as ice skating.

[bukzini]

Gosh damn I really want a BmW now

[jmar1973]

Cool film...

Nice Pre 9-11 Manhattan shots....

[bulgaboi]

It's so funny how they think a dodge neon and a jeep can keep up with a BMW

[henrelddaboss]

asians ftw



[TheDSil]

A vague premise, a boring and unbelievable car chase, and a random Hulk reference.

It's no Crouching Tiger.

[aserta]

0:43 gotham :))

[HxC4life11]

tit for tat mr. hero tit for tat

[angryfurniture]

when he picks up the kid it sounds like the soundtrack kinda from max payne

[BimmerM5e39]

Clive Owen should have been James Bond, this guy can Drive imagine how much better the chases in the Bond films would be if he was there. Daniel Craig must have a stunt driver doing the work.

[jmar1973]

@BimmerM5e39 Daniel Craig didn't even know how to use the stick shift on the Aston Martin.

So there you go.

[andyroo911]

Anyone else notice that the BMW's headlights keep switching back and forth between halogen and HIDs?

[benzlover55]

they wrecked a w126... fuckin bastards...

[BimmerM5e39]

@benzlover55 Have you seen Live Free or Die Hard they wreck alot of E38 7 Series then use a nice 740i Sport in the end as the High Roller ride. What kinda shit is that.

[benzlover55]

@BimmerM5e39 Fuck them, I hate those asshole producers, can't stop ruining classics...

[Gaffapediahus]

LOL hulk band aid. Well Ang Lee directed the 2003 hulk movie.

[Mistawilsun]

@Gaffapediahus This was his hint to people he had choose to direct it

[rope863]

good

[spencerleeb]

don't fuck with the interior!!!

[WonderfulMrShyne]

Lol really great, but I don't get the story!

[BrokenPuzzle]

God Clive Owen would of made so much of better James Bond than Daniel - he sounds looks, and acts British. Geh-h

[CLS718]

@BrokenPuzzle Clive Owen campaign for Daniel Craig to play him b/c he knew he was right for the part, Casino Royale = highes rated Bond film and highest grossing Bond film.

[MIKEK3NT]

@BrokenPuzzle i think he is british

[BrokenPuzzle]

@MIKEK3NT yes that was the point I was trying to make

[ninjacobra]

Wow, these films are amazing!

[brittonnick]

I don't like the stereotypical way the asian characters were portrayed, it made me very AngLee.

[CalDoc]

@brittonnick stop crying

[buhrrito]

they fucked up his interior, he was like

no. . . .

[gameraiman15]

haha LOL !!!

Sorry to say this but imo seriously this makes Pierce Brosnan in a BMW sucks to the max !!

Clive Owen > Pierce Brosnan

CLive Owen is the next James Bond !!

hope it happens after Daniel quits

[bmt528i]

And having their main rivals the Merc - Chrysler trio with the Jeep, Dodge, and Merc. Don't forget when this was made Daimler-Chrysler was still around.

[bmt528i]

It's missing part of the video where the boy puts his window down and the driver puts it up and adjusts the climate control on the boy's side. BMW just had to show off that dual climate control.

[WHITEVOLK8814]

Fucking great film!! 5 series, Merc W126, a shitty neon, wow =)

[cho03]

i love how the band aid has the incredible hulk on it... lee went on to direct a hulk movie.

[lipe235666]

Spectacular.

impressive quality and creative script. liked. very even.

[TobiasJDK]

blah blah blah it's an M5 - it's a 540 who friggin cares. Anyways....I love the bad guys pulling up in a 96 Neon and an 89 Merc 190E - priceless. Clive could have been driving an 91 318i and beaten them....LOL

[Sta3ouu]

the mercedes is an S type not E

[ViperKeeper2070]

3:10 to 3:14 is awesome! I have also wonderd if this was a 530, 540 or an M5. I heard "Star" was filmed with a 540 so they didn't tear up an M5 with that jump sequence..

[poreasd]

... its definitely M5 ...

[mmutasim2]

Not M5. IF it was,it would have had an obvious M5 emblem on its rear and a unique bodykit.

[louko09]

nice !!

[CradLeRcker]

haahah it was a bandage nice..

[ChavetteRudeGirl]

love the stunts in this film and love the main car BMW 540I V8 Lush or what

[amirrozlan]

is it a 540i v8 or a 530i I6 with M Sport Package? Its certainly not an M5; if you pause at 2:51 the lettering on the right of the boot has more than 2 digits, and no evident blue/red colours.

[luthfudeen]

I think it's an M5. Look at the gear lever at 2.21

[beepandbop]

Good eye, it's an M5.

[fuckiloveaustralia]

it most certainly is NOT an M5. it could not be more blatantly obvious. there is no M-tech kit, there are no M-tech wheels and there most definately isn't a quad exhaust.

it's a 540

[beepandbop]

There is an M Gear lever, or what looked like one.

[fuckiloveaustralia]

my E34 535 has an M-tech shift knob and an M-tech wheel. that doesn't make it an M5

[beepandbop]

point taken.

[DR3AMxCHAS3R]

Its a 540i with the M sport package whitch gives it a 6 speed manual trans M wheels, steering wheel and shift knob. It has the same body work as the reg 5's.

[beepandbop]

Very cool, thanks for the explanation.

[fuckiloveaustralia]

exactly right

[amitabha77]

Perfect~!!! I hope to see the new BMW flims soon~! AMITABHA!

[bUMf1GHT]

I think this is one of my favorites... lol @ the neon

[fivedaysatknifepoint]

Never noticed the HULK reference

[kofib3]

Beautiful gentle film yet still exciting.
