All,

Just to clarify- the surviving 360/727 Hornet from the 
film did the 'terra-firma' stunt work...meaning it never 
left the ground. The corkscrew bridge jump was done by a 
VERY heavily modified 258-powered Hornet that is in an 
English 'James Bond Vehicles' musem at this time.

And while you recall the flying Matador coupe, let's not 
forget the five Matador sedan cop cars! The chase starts 
with three black-and-whites giving chase, but ends with 
one black-and-white plus two red-and-whites catching up.

I **highly** recommend the DVD of this film...first
because you can go frame-by-frame through the big jump 
and see the VERY modified front fenders on the 258 Hornet.
Then, go to the special features to se how the stunt was 
done (on the first and only take) and to see footage of 
the Astro-Spiral Javelins (and a very stock-looking 
Mustard Yellow Javelin during the end credits) doing the 
same famous stunt. Awesome stuff!!

John

The Hornet, which does a heart pounding 360 over a canal, is owned by a
gentleman in Iowa. The Hornet is a factory 360/727.
