Italian job II

[mini]

Just got an email from a mate who says that apparently one of the scenes in this movie shows what looks like an MD 500 flying around a carpark chasing a Mini, he askes whether its possible that a Helo could fly in a 6 meter space (between floor & ceiling)?

[tomstheword]

Yes.

But unlikely that the tail rotor would be used to chop up the mini.

flying for that scene was done by alan purwin of helinet. i believe they put the aircraft on a flatbed first, choregraped the sequence then did the real thing

If you have the DVD version, go to the "Special Features" menu and you can see the whole thing done without special effects. Quite impressive.

Is the effects of Re-circulation less because of the fact that the car park is open?
