It has some incredible chase scenes. I was at the FIA-GT Homestead event in
98 and met Michel Neugarten, the primary stunt driver for the movie. The movie
hadn't come out in Europe at the time, and he was happy to hear that the
scenes were really good. He and his girlfriend (French...I'm still drooling)
went to see the movie in San Fransisco in between Homestead and the next
FIA-GT race at Laguna Seca. Michel was also here for Petit LeMans in
September (driving for Konrad) and he said he's looking to do some more stunt
work if the opportunities present themselves (and yes, his girlfriend was there too  :-)
