Good to see some Astras (especially an AH) in a car chase! Hope it's better than Wesley Snipes previous effort with a Calibra.

Yeah saw this movie last night, well made movie and also found it cool that they used both a TS and AH in a car chase although my old TS nor any AH i've heard didn't sound anything like the sound effects in the movie!!!

Also loved how in bits of the chase how both cars somehow managed to 'fix' themselves!!! But a good chase nonetheless with some good sideways bits and cool stair jumps, plus they were technically Opels if you ignore the Chev badges!!!!

LOL it was the same deal for the movie with the Calibra Simon noted above - they had a V8 sound for that one too, so fake and funny, but hey as has been said before, nothing sounds as good or better than a V8, so you can't blame movie makers for using it for better movie sound effects :)

LOL i wish, i'd have to import one, nah they sounded more like maybe V6's or kind of VTEC like, i dunno, hard to describe but definetely not stock 1.8 emotec or Chev V8!!! :D

Just watched this on DVD. I think the Astras are Chevrolets because the filming was done in Mexico, even though it's set in Spain.
