I saw it twice last night. Great movie!! I fell asleep when the actors tried to act, but the sounds of the engine immediately woke me up for the racing scenes lol

Did anyone see Grand Prix on Speedvision last night? Pretty good driving, a bit nasty at the end, but still, a neat movie. (A part from the back of the car from I think the BRM or Brabraham, hit John Pierre and he runs right into the wall at the banking at Monza, breaks through it, and falls to the track below, but he dosn't have a seatbelt, so he gets stabbed by tree branches and he's all bloddy and stuff, his car blows up, and he dies) Thanks, Alex

You see Jean Pierre's teammate(Bandolini?) sit up in the seat and turn around to see who it was? And why Jean Pierre???? Shoulda killed Scott damnit. What an ending that woulda been for Jean to make up the 30 seconds and win the the championship.

The thing I noticed, this time, was how at Spa the wind was pretty much sounding just like GPL(ha! worked it in!) Pretty good for a movie to know what a sim would sound like 25 years later huh? dave henrie Alex Kihurani wrote:

ok the reason why they didnt kill scott was cause. Scott was jakie stewart. (i think) i might have to thnk twice but thats my final answer. And im sure jakie stewart Wouldnt allow himself to die in the movie. Here are the clues that scott was acted as jakie stewart. (1) Both drove BRMS (2) Both had same # (3) looked the same (obvioulsly) and final (4) both wore same helmet.

Surely you should have put SPOILER before this post, because now all of us know the result - bummer ;-)

Sorry. :-( I got most of this information off a web site and this webmaster does make mistakes that "Jacki" was it? that was my fault.

Jeez, if you respect him that much, at least get his name right. It's JACKIE not jakie. And he's from Scotland, which makes him a "Scot" not a "scott".

If you listened to the part at the end when Bruce Dern was interviewing John Frankenheimer (the director,) Frankenheimer said that he didn't realize that the audience would be so sympathetic to Sarti. He also said that in his haste to edit the movie, he removed some of the scenes that would have made the audience more sympathetic toward Pete Aron and make him a more likeable character. He all but said that if he had to do it over again, Sarti would not have died. TW On 29 May 2000 02:19:30 GMT, [email hidden] (Tony StewartNo20) wrote:

I wonder if the footage still exists. Although I imagine there would be little financial incentive for the producer, I'd love to see a modern director's cut.

Actually, it's John Young. Not Jackie at all! MS

I realised that Jack(ie) came from John. I was under the impression that he adopted the "Stewart" from somewhere else. After all "Young" is a pretty unusual middle name.

Chris. If you look at some of the articles written about or by the man himself, you will see his name abbreviated as JYS. His sir name is definately Steward.

My understanding is that there was a lot of racing footage shot at racetracks that were not featured in the movie (i.e. from the Nurburgring, Watkins Glen...). Its whereabouts (if it still exists at all) are unknown. Michael Lowery

No.....you're getting confused, Chris. His FULL name is "John Young Stewart". His two given names are "John" and "Young" and his family name is "Stewart". The abbreviation or common contraction for John is "Jack" (thus the pet-name "Jackie"). -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Chris Bloom <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I've always wondered where the Stewart came from.

I think you'll find that "John" doesn't own the rights to it, so it would not do much good anyone trying to convince him to release it on anything.
