Watched Grand Prix a excellent movie, and than watched the extras. They said they wanted Mcqueen for the Garner role, but there was a disaggrement so Mcqueen decided to make Le Mans, to complete.
He should have taken the Garner role, Le Mans is total 3rd rate put up against Grand Prix, the acting, the camera work, its a poor film.
No wonder there is NO SE with extras and better sound, its not worth doing.
Whoa there! Um, McQueen actually drove these cars... and there is a documentary showing the advanced techniques to capture the racing action which is second to none. WOW. STUNED.
shareTo the OP, Le Mans is the purest racing movie ever. It's the ultimate car porn. Grand Prix loses out because of the fake soundtrack and fake cars during most of the onboard shots. With Le Mans, it's all real and 'at' the track like no other movie ever and since without feeling like a documentary either.
