Hickman was in the SevenUps, too. There was a helluva car chase in that too.
Friedken evidentally paid off officials in Coney Island to film the car chase scene for FC. The Brooklyn City Commerce wasn't about to let it happen there.
Pitt - yeah, maybe he could pull it off -- partly pull it off. I doubt it though for just what you said about McQueen. Just take all those confrontations with Robert Vaughn (Chalmbers) when he went on about how important he was, and McQueen just looked at him, was terrific.
But the best, I thought, was when McQueen went back to the hotel room where the mob hit took place, and he's looking at the diagram of the shooting, the freeway outside the windows - just looking and thinking - I don't think anyone can pull that off today in such a way as to make it not look like acting.
