Guest JMW Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Ok,TV is shyte at the best of times but, how bad is it going to be this year ? I can't even bear to think of all those re-reruns of Pery Homo's Christmas carol and all that excrement. Better buy some decent DVD's I think :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I'm looking forward to seeing some of the classic films on TV. Like George Raft and Veronica Lake in "Floating Timber". Would have been better with Tony Danza in it obviously. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator YamaHead Posted December 8, 2004 Moderator Share Posted December 8, 2004 Truth Be Known......Steve McQueen never even attempted that fence! :shock: ........his old riding partner Bud Ekins actually made that jump on a Triumph painted to look like a German Military bike. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto19 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Truth Be Known......Steve McQueen never even attempted that fence! :shock: ........his old riding partner Bud Ekins actually made that jump on a Triumph painted to look like a German Military bike. :roll: McQueen and Ekins spent a day building the ramp and taking turns jumping it. But when it was time to film the director wouldn't let his "Star" do it. Mcqueen was also one of the Germans chasing "himself' on film as the stunt guys couldn't keep up with him. Get the book "Steve McQueen. A bad boy in Holywood" and you'll be surprised what he got up too. He truly was a nutter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
