There's always one of those guys....I think this is targeted to every douchbag with a Camaro or a Mustang telling great tales of their 1/4 mile kills. Not top fuelers.

Well, color me amazed!!

I've seen that movie a while ago. It's not LaStrada/TheRoad.
Something about a circus, tightrope, somebody takes anothers place and falls, but there is no safety net, etc iirc.
Thinking it was more hungarian/czcheck/dutch than french/italian.
Could also be totally wrong.
