Maruti800 ◊ 2006-09-23 05:44	Its more of a LA Job than Italian Job. But anyway nice effort. esp. by Charlize theron and Jason statham being my favourite
bref ◊ 2006-09-23 08:30	The original Mini has the size for an Italian Job (understand Italian narrow street and sidewalk), the BMW Mini needs LA streets to look small
gliffhanger ◊ 2007-01-29 13:08	A 2003 remake of the movie, also called The Italian Job, was set in Los Angeles and stars Mark Wahlberg as Charlie Croker. It featured Donald Sutherland as John Bridger, played as more of a father-figure to Croker. It made many changes to the original story, replacing the British characters with a primarily American cast, moving the action from Turin to Venice and Los Angeles, adding a new villain, and replacing the ambiguous ending with one that is completely positive. The Minis of the original film were replaced by the new BMW-built MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S with the classic Mini making only a cameo appearance.
lastinpurple ◊ 2007-05-01 11:50	This rubbish movie isn't ended yet. Our friends across the pond, as 2491tj calls them, are going to make a second part of this abomination, called The Brazilian Job, for 2008. The only original part of this movie is the name, and now it hasn't. What's next? Arnold Schwarzenegger as Charlie Crocker? Replacing the BMW Mini by Hummers? Well, size won't be much different
antp ◊ 2007-12-23 00:01	I did not find that movie so much rubbish, if you do not consider as a remake of course. About the title, here it does not refer to the main heist (which is in LA indeed). At the beginning of the movie, there is a heist in Venice, Italy, where they blown two floors to make a safe go through these: For the main heist, at a point they have to change their plan. Then they say they'll do it like the Italian job, referring to that first heist, as they will use a similar technique: -- Last edit: 2007-12-23 00:01:53

carobserver ◊ 2007-12-24 03:41	Anyway, I hate this spin off, it can´t be compared with the original version Why the americans made spin off of great movies? and thats spin off usually have a less awesome argument and history -- Last edit: 2007-12-24 03:42:07
Red Grant ◊ 2007-12-24 03:57	Not nearly as good as the original, but it isn't that bad.
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-12-24 11:01	This one is not bad at all for me, actually i find it much more entertaining than the old one, the old one has sequences and dialogues that make you fall asleep, and the most i like from the old one is the scene with the minis and the theft so, why is this one so bad?? i see it well done and with good actors, but well i guess it a question of taste once again.
Red Grant ◊ 2007-12-25 21:28	Well, the heist and chase in the first movie was much better.
carobserver ◊ 2007-12-27 22:39	Red Grant wrote Well, the heist and chase in the first movie was much better. and more exotic, with best spontaneus acts
ecclefechan ◊ 2008-11-07 13:16	I hated it. Typical big budget Hollywood nonsense with unexciting and dull chase scenes.
RockRacer ◊ 2010-11-18 08:41	You can also view aircraft screenshots from this film on The Internet Movie Plane Database - IMPDb.org.
Black Bart 2 ◊ 2015-08-20 20:56	New vehicles ready to be added. Also there are a few of them that are from a deleted scene; a police car chases after Stella during the L.A. downtown part of the chase.
Black Bart 2 ◊ 2015-08-20 20:57	Here are some where I couldn't decide for which vehicle: - Blazer or Escort? - Nissan Xterra or Chevy Lumina? - Red car or white Mustang? - Blue Ford, green muscle car or one of the three black car on the right? - Blue Caddy, White Lincoln or Black Toyota? -- Last edit: 2015-08-20 20:57:27

CougarTim ◊ 2015-08-21 18:22	"Green muscle car" looks like a 1968-1970 Dodge Charger. -- Last edit: 2015-08-21 18:37:06

Doc Maison ◊ 2015-09-29 02:08	At the end of the movie, appears a 2003 Ducati 749 Yellow in house of the actor who has a 748. -- Last edit: 2015-09-29 02:08:48
Sandie ◊ 2018-09-23 19:44	@Robi: Remember for replacements on movies with a large number of cars it's best to send in a Zip file to https://ks3c.antp.be/upload.php with images named by vehicle IDs rather than leaving pictures in comments as it is much quicker for us to handle it that way. -- Last edit: 2018-09-23 19:54:06
Robi ◊ 2018-09-24 13:59	Movie completed And yes, for larger movies, I will do it the way Sandie suggested.
train68 ◊ 2021-05-30 07:04	Personally, I thought this was okay. Of course, the title is quite misleading
Jnglmpera ◊ 2022-05-20 04:21	Titled ミニミニ大作戦 (Mini mini daisakusen) in Japanese, just like its predecessor
jettalover ◊ 2023-12-22 22:44	Lots of real California license plates visible on background vehicles.
Mr_Camhed ◊ 2025-03-08 15:55	Not in Italy, and not really a job. Behold, "the".
midnight ◊ 2025-03-08 17:13	@Mr Camhed, what do you mean? The beginning heist (job) is filmed in Italy. The rest of the movie couldn't happen without the Italian job.
Gamer ◊ 2025-03-08 17:47	^It's a reference to Jeremy Clarkson's opinion on the movie just before it came out. "You can't have him [Mark Wahlberg] going "yOu wErE oNly SuPpoSed tO bLoW tHe bLoOdy DoOrs oFf!"
midnight ◊ 2025-03-08 17:58	What does that have to do with not being in Italy and not being a job?
Gamer ◊ 2025-03-08 18:02	It was another line from his critique, I just added it because I liked it so much. Jezza's points are it's set in Los Angeles (for the most part) and not a 'job' (take that as you will) so it should just be called "The". -- Last edit: 2025-03-08 18:03:05
midnight ◊ 2025-03-08 18:13	Did you not read my reply to Mr Camhed? I just explained why lol.
