Equipe Remy Julienne CAR CHASE in "Burglars" ("Le Casse") - '71

You've seen the car-chases in "Robbery", "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" - now check THIS out. Remy and his chums are best known for supplying the vehicular mayhem for "The Italian Job" and several Bonds - but they were STARS in Europe. As here, Remy preferred to use the Fiat 124/5 when possible - for it's inherent INSTABILITY. Today, they are still made (with thicker metal) as Ladas! This Euro-pudding features Jean-Paul Belmondo and Omar Sharif - "Cairo Fred" to his friends!

Footnotes: When "Burglars" ("Le Casse") was filmed, all the dialogue scenes were shot twice - once in French and then again in English (by the same actors). And Remy still lives - he's currently 79 - and just three years ago, he worked as stunt coordinator on the car scenes in "The Da Vinci Code" that were shot in Paris. The man's unstoppable!

As mentioned this is Greece - I recognise the blue street signs, most are still in use today!

Unbelievable acceleration at 1:30 LOL

@princearthur1999 Pireaus, Greece according to imdb.

Great clip though the continuity is, as so often in older films, awful.

Does anyone now which city/town was this filmed in?

Thanks for posting!

In the close-up scene 1:34 showing the Fiat's front wheel, there's no hub cap then in the next scenes there are no hubcaps missing from any of the wheels. Did they swap the scenes about or use different cars?

The Fiat looks bigger inside at 0:09
