(The best being the scene in For Your Eyes Only that culminates in the car transforming into a submarine). LOL: Just watched the clip of this chase on Youtube. At the very end, the stocky, muscular bad guy who drives the car gets out of the car on the passenger seat side and starts shooting at Crockett. But if you've ever been in an Esprit you know that the chassis backbone sits in a tunnel right between driver and passenger (the backbone chassis is what gives the car its incredible body stifness) and it would have been super hard for a guy that size to climb over to the passenger side and get out. -- Last edit: 2010-02-13 18:50:27
