Luckily most of the chase sequence got re-used in a MacGyver episode.
The Michael Caine version rocks. My wife bought it for me for Christmas.

And the Mini Coopers driving on the sidewalks?Martin Milner wrote:I forget how many Minis got trashed during the making of The Italian Job (the Michael Caine one, not the modern rubbish copy), but it was more than eight.
