If your like me that name brings to mind one thing, Screeching tires, ran red lights, scared pigeons, almost flattened pedestrians and the sound of a screamin Ferrari 275 GTB... Yes I am talking about the short film by Claude Lelouch. I used to only be able to view this reckless yet awesome film only once a year at the Windsor Motorcycle Clubs annual Stag banquet but thanks to the wonder that is the internet I can enjoy it year round. So be that I am a generous guy an all I figured I would share the link with youse guys, enjoy... http://www.bsdunix.ch/public/rendezvous20_04.mov |

Just finished watching it for the first time. Very cool. The headlights are about as bad as my Firebolt.

Well I watched it three times so far. I guess I'll just have to keep it on my desktop for quick access. |

I've heard about this but could never justify the $$$ they want for a copy. I wonder how many pigeons where killed in making this? Amazing driving, consider that many of the streets where cobblestone... Many thanks Spiderman, this made my day! |

Reminds me of the two wheeled version called GHOST RIDER. Guy clad in all black rides a GSXR 1000 thru traffic like a madman. Even had a camera pointed back and show the cops on his tail and then he would take off like they were sitting still. Then he would wait for them to catch up and do it again. Showed a turbo hayabusa on a landing strip at 200+. I check their GHOST RIDER UK website and it says temporarily unavailable. |

i can't view it/w my current dialup connection.I have viewed a similar(i think i know what you're viewing)video of a stunt staged by some national champ in Greece.Racing through and in between city traffic,it was unreal,and the occasional air shot from lofting the tire.When i saw this thread's title i thought it was referencing to the famous "Harley-Rendevouze" biker party in Mariaville New-York,a very reckless party.Wishin' i could've seen this vid. |

Urban Myth. It wasn't a Ferrari 275 GTB, it was Lalouch's Mercedes sedan. I'll dig up the truth URL. http://www.jerrykindall.com/2005/11/07_cetait_un_rendezvous.asp (Message edited by jima4media on December 30, 2005) |

Yes the sounds were dubbed in later. Notice that French 16mm camera doesn't have sound. |
