[AMC-list] Last night on History Channel

["masheen" <masheen@xxxxxxx>]

The episode was James Bond Tech.  It covered the Hornet X barrel roll in 
"The Man With the Golden Gun".  There was lots of achieved footage showing 
the stunt drivers practicing and performing this stunt with Javelin's long 
being contacted by the film makers.

Here's a link to the clip of the jump which also shows the bad guys 
literally "taking off" in a '74 Matador.  The Cragar SS rims really made the 
Hornet X look great.  I noticed in the clip that James Bond and the sheriff 
(funny character) weren't using their seatbelts which puts the sheriff in 
the back seat after the jump.  This has got to rate as one of my top five 
favorite movie car chases.

Lots of AMC's shown in this movie.  Found more interesting tidbits here:

A really good website for those who haven't discovered it.
