![[Image: title.314.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/title.314.jpg) Discovered this film had been opened (long ago?) by unknown, but left blank with just a page without picture for a Unimog. So I've backfilled. It is an unusually stark film - 2 men on the run are chased across arid terrain in an un-named country (filmed in Spain) by a sinister black helicopter. ![[Image: hcoterb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterb.jpg) No explanation why/who/where - just a long chase. Well worth watching, and may have inspired Spielberg's Duel for some of its themes. Difficult to describe - some reviews call it an existential film, but that probably means they couldn't think of any better words. But it's a strange film for imcdb - apart from the distant Unimog sightings there's only this upturned wreck ![[Image: 37-28cara.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/37-28cara.jpg) ![[Image: 37-28car.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/37-28car.jpg) But for impdb, millions of shots of the helicopter (would be 4 ![[*]](/res/star.png){kind=small} , maybe even 5)![[Image: hcoter.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoter.jpg) ![[Image: hcotera.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcotera.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterc.jpg) ![[Image: hcotercc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcotercc.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterd.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterd.jpg) ![[Image: hcotere.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcotere.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterf.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterf.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterg.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterg.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterh.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterh.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterj.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterj.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterk.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterk.jpg) ![[Image: hcoterl.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/hcoterl.jpg) Apparently it's an SA318C Alouette II Astazou, which was was the first production helicopter to use a gas turbine engine instead of the conventional heavier piston powerplant. |

The upturned wreck looks like it was a woody station wagon that rotted away, like this 1950 Ford. -- Last edit: 2017-01-15 01:03:22 |
