The car is the interim model in 1968, when some features of the first series Giulia Super, were combined with the second series Giulia Super. The grille is correct but someone blanked off the inner headlights for some reason, the hubcaps are of the Nuova Super, the Alfa Romeo script is on the centre of the trunk lid, the door handles are of the first series Super. The film was shot in Bologna, because the bank called Credito Romagnolo, is peculiar to the Emilia Romagna region ,where Bologna is the capital city, and finally many of the cars in the film have BO licence plates, ( Bologna), and I saw one of my favourite cars along the way, an Autobianchi A112, Abarth . Having driven my cousins Autobianchi A 112 Abarth once in 1977, and they are seriously quick little cars. Still used these days for cronoscalata events(hill climbs ). Shame about the destruction of the Giulia Super. Cheers JoeIt certainly is an exceptional scene, with so much grille-time for the featured Alfa.
I was a bit puzzled trying to identify the car, too, and so left the description as Giulia sedan. I especially like its perpetual cloud of blue smoke, and how, in the only stationary shot of the sedan (0:04 - 0:06), the left front tire looks bald, worn to the belts. Still gave the Capri a run for its money. :001_tt2:
Good eye on the script! I did notice the later-style hubcaps, but that just made it more confusing - I keep forgetting there even was a Nuova Super. Seeing the variety of cars in traffic as the characters zoom past, highlights how dull our contemporary automotive landscape has become.
Watched this movie this past weekend......girlfriend watching Gerard Butler, me watching the Alfa and Ferrari! It's a pretty good "chick flick" if ya have to watch one, at least the poor Spider gets lots of screen time....
I love how there's no concern for continuity. The cars magically appear on completely different streets and roadways from one shot to the next! LOL!
