Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPetula Clark also starred in The Runaway Bus 1954 , with another bus full of passengers held hostage .
- GoofsIn the chase near the start, the getaway car smashes through a solid brick wall and comes out the other side without the slightest bit of damage, not even a bent bumper or broken headlight. The wall was on a bridge over a river and the car rolls down the hill and comes to a halt close to the river. When the robbers run away from the car, they run in what would be the direction of the river, but they run across a field - there is no river.
Featured review
I have tracked this movie down for a long time. And that's the result.
I know, this RG Springsteen film is not a masterpiece, this is not a golden gem set with diamonds, but it remained a rare movie for a long time. So, when I finally got it, I was so glad. Maybe I waited for it because of the plot, a heist pulled in a race track stadium, as also was Stanley Kubrick's THE KILLING. This was a masterpiece, and of course, I did not expect to find something equivalent here. And I was damn right. This is a pure garbage junk stuff, more British than American - no offense to our UK friends - but it is light heart, nearly comedy, talkative, lousy, boring. How could I think about THE KILLING when I first began to search this one? Useless to say that RG Springsteen has made far far better than this in his homeland.
