Would rate with **** stars The MGF MK1 appears in the beginning of the movie. (app. 4 minutes in total) Billy Cristal is driving with the MGF to an appointment with any of his contract actors. The meeting went bad and he went off angry. It starts raining and it happened to him in a sharp bend. Couple of sheep on the road, hard breaking, car slips off from the road down into a river. ... He get's rescued, what else .... ;-). Later the hardly bent MGF get's used by both, Billy Crystal and Gheorghe Muresan to driving back to the movie action place. ------------------- all about ------------------------ This Billy Crystal vehicle suffers from too much sentimentality that competes with the outrageous physical comedy, but still manages to be funny enough to be worth a look. Crystal plays a shallow sports agent on tour in Eastern Europe, smarting from the separation from his wife and kid, when he literally crashes into a discovery that might resurrect his career. He finds a giant in a rural town (NBA Basketball player Gheorghe Muresan) and takes him back to America in the hopes of exploiting his find, but soon discovers that loyalty and being true to the things that are important to him are what really matters. It's the physical comedy and the contrast between the titanic Muresan and the diminutive Crystal that sustains the movie beyond its premise. Crystal's personality and Muresan's genuine nature make My Giant rise above its gimmicky nature. - -Robert Lane - -This text refers to the VHS Tape edition. ------------------------------------------------ |

In the background a LDV van or loadbed-truck, called Convoy (I think). Next to it a Praga V3S truck. On the left, better seen in the fourth small picture, a Robur like this one: /vehicle_45145-Robur-LO-3002-Fr-M5-MZ-11.html |

The Romanian scenes were actually filmed in the Czech Republic, according to the IMDB. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0120765/locations |

I'd say three stars, it only appears in the first part of the movie. |

Antp, did you make these pics or were you posting them for someone else? Because only sthor's name is listed and he just added the Fords. |

I received these by e-mail I think (for sure they are not from me: I haven't seen this movie) -- Last edit: 2013-02-06 17:48:51 |
