could this fatso left really enter the car and maybe even drive it? |

He entered the car as a passenger - but with some efforts. As you can read in wiki, the Mangusta had a tight cabin, which was strongly heated by the engine (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Tomaso_Mangusta). But look at this, an unintentionally funny scene in the movie: |

But no pics, how he get out again? I'm far not that fat as him, but I would not get out without help. |

Doctor Bontempi also drives the Mangusta by himself. I'm not sure if those are studio images edited with images of someone else driving, but he also switches a tyre on it. The scene where Bontempi enters the car as a passanger is arguably not unintentionally funny, but intentionally half-funny: We see him fumble a bit with the door grip handle and they make a point of the car being so low. In fact, the car plays a rather important role in the film, it being connected to the main character Oscar's personality, which changes during the course of the film, and these scenes show us the two characters, while being sort-of-friends, come from totally different backgrounds, have different psyches and are, in fact, more or less incompatible. There are better shots of the Mangusta in the film, which I'd post here if I had it. Hopefully the film will be restored some day so we can have better images of it in action, the film is underrated, and Keir Dullea (from 2001 a space odyssey) is worth seeing for his fine acting, although his voice is dubbed by an Italian actor. |
