Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend (EILFM Crossover) · BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

0:00
Grand Touring Motorsports started as a social group of car enthusiasts,
0:04
but we've expanded into all sorts of motorsports disciplines, and we
0:08
want to share our stories with you.
0:10
Years of racing, wrenching, and motorsports experience brings
0:13
together a top notch collection of knowledge and information
0:17
through our podcast, Brake Fix.
0:19
All right, you guys ready for this?
0:24
We're going to do it again.
0:26
Set against the backdrop of post war Italy, Lamborghini, the man behind the
0:32
legend, mirrors the complex transformation of Ferruccio Lamborghini's homeland.
0:37
From his modest beginnings building tractors to the infamous rivalry
0:40
he shared with Enzo Ferrari, his unparalleled genius made him a true
0:45
icon in the automobile industry.
0:47
However, his passions also ignited emotional turmoil in his
0:51
personal life, which was full of both romance and tragedy.
0:55
Told through a tightly constructed narrative style and imaginative
0:59
visual design, this film is the true story of the man behind the machine.
1:05
And with that, let's welcome back Steve from Everything I Learned From Movies,
1:09
as well as our executive producer of The Drive Thru, Tanya, and Mountain
1:13
Man, Dan, for this, what is going to be a beautiful crossover review of
1:19
Lamborghini, The Man Behind The Legend.
1:22
Yeah!
1:27
Yes, I am Steve from Everything I Learned From Movies.
1:29
Hey, everybody.
1:30
Izzy couldn't make it due to a last minute scheduling conflict, but she
1:33
did send a message that she would like me to read for everybody.
1:37
It says, quote, This was a movie, and then it goes into caps, How
1:42
dare they make Lamborghinis boring?
1:44
Fuck that noise.
1:45
Go watch Ford v.
1:46
Ferrari instead.
1:48
End quote.
1:48
Well, that about sums it up.
1:49
So that's our shortest episode ever.
1:52
Thank you everybody for listening.
1:54
Enjoy the rest of your day.
1:55
Try the veal.
1:55
We're here all week.
1:57
Where do we even start with this dumpster fire?
2:00
We needed Brad here so you could sing Lowered Expectations.
2:03
Lowered expectations.
2:07
No problem.
2:08
Steve could do it.
2:09
Yeah, see, I got this.
2:10
Yeah.
2:11
Well, all right.
2:12
So, you guys mentioned this movie.
2:13
I didn't even know this thing existed until you had mentioned it.
2:16
It says it was released in November.
2:19
Where?
2:20
I don't remember seeing anything about it.
2:22
Was it even released in theaters?
2:24
Straight to Amazon Prime, I think.
2:25
Yeah, Amazon Prime, and then Vudu picked it up.
2:28
And that's the only two places you can find this thing at the moment.
2:31
That's more than enough.
2:32
I did a little research into this movie, because, you know, not hearing
2:35
about it, it's like, okay, maybe it's like a visionary director from Maresco.
2:41
Any of you guys know who that is?
2:43
I do not.
2:43
Who is that?
2:44
I'll give you a hint.
2:45
He wrote a couple episodes of that Lance Henriksen TV show Millennium
2:48
back in the day that was awesome.
2:50
Oh, really?
2:51
And then he wrote Academy Award winning movie Crash.
2:55
This is an Academy Award winning writer and director.
2:59
Of Crash.
3:01
And then also did like the TV series Crash spin off.
3:04
Some movie called Tenth and Wolf that apparently was pretty good.
3:07
Created a couple TV shows that lasted a season called The Black
3:10
Donnellys and A Hundred Code.
3:11
So what you're saying is he made Crash and then that's basically it.
3:15
You get that award, you know, you can keep it forever, right Nick Cage?
3:18
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
3:20
Okay, he also did a Colin Quinn comedy special in 2019.
3:24
In 2018, there was a Carl Urban movie called Bent that also had
3:27
Sofia Vergara and Andy Garcia in it.
3:30
Never heard of it.
3:31
And this.
3:32
Wow.
3:33
Wow.
3:33
I mean, he might have been better off just going to Nicolas Cage's house and
3:38
talking to him about his Lamborghini.
3:40
If Nicolas Cage played Enzo Ferrari in this movie instead of Gabriel
3:44
Byrne and his goddamn Scottish accent.
3:48
Thank you.
3:49
I'm so proud of this beautiful car.
3:51
It's like a dream.
3:52
What are you doing?
3:53
It stands like he owns the world.
3:56
You see my cavalino with my name on my own car.
4:00
It's beautiful.
4:01
He does.
4:02
Thank you.
4:03
Of all the people on the planet to play Enzo Ferrari.
4:08
It would have been horrible, but we could have at least gotten like, I
4:11
don't know, Al Pacino or Marlon Brando.
4:13
I don't know.
4:14
He's dead.
4:14
The other one, the gold man is in everything.
4:17
De Niro?
4:18
Yes.
4:18
De Niro.
4:19
Oh, okay.
4:22
It's like the other guy in the Godfather.
4:23
Like there was like more than three.
4:24
I know every.
4:25
Body who could possibly be a Jason Italian was in Godfather.
4:28
They could have used a regular Italian.
4:30
They could have also recast the guy from Ford versus Ferrari who looked like Enzo.
4:34
Gabriel Byrne and Robert Carlyle look more similar than he does to Enzo.
4:40
It's like, it's so bizarre.
4:43
And he didn't even try to put on an affect or an accent or anything.
4:47
I mean, the acting was just so subpar.
4:49
Ladies and gentlemen.
4:50
There are more Academy Award winners in this movie because Mira Sorvino shows
4:55
up as the second wife for the second half of the movie when they decide to
4:59
just change actors halfway through.
5:01
Has she done anything in the last 20 years?
5:04
Since Romy and Michelle's high school reunion?
5:06
I'm sure she has.
5:07
I mean, it's probably stuff I haven't watched.
5:09
And of course, Frank Grillo.
5:11
Obviously he's going to play Ferruccio Lamborghini, you know,
5:14
the guy from all the action movies.
5:16
The only similarity he has to Ferruccio Lamborghini is the pompadour hairdo
5:21
that they gave him because any mobster lounge singer from Las Vegas in the 70s
5:27
could have easily played the part of Ferruccio Lamborghini in this movie.
5:30
Yeah.
5:31
This movie starts with questionable, but hey, you never know.
5:35
It could turn out to be a really good movie.
5:37
I mean, as ridiculous as the accents were on House of Gucci,
5:40
allegedly, it's a good movie.
5:42
I haven't seen it.
5:43
But, you know, you got Lady Gaga and Adam Driver and stuff
5:47
doing the bababooey bababooey.
5:49
Little Jared Leto's in there, apparently.
5:52
At least Lady Gaga has some Italian heritage, so give her that.
5:57
Oh, okay.
5:57
Well.
5:58
That was it for that movie.
5:59
At least Frank Grillo And I guess Mira Sorvino, technically.
6:03
Well, I mean, yeah.
6:04
At some point.
6:06
Yeah, I do like that they weren't going like full Mario
6:09
and Luigi with the accents.
6:10
I mean, obviously Gabriel Byrne just did whatever.
6:13
But they weren't even trying, because I think those younger actors
6:16
were actually maybe like Italians.
6:17
I'm like, you have the worst Accents!
6:21
Looking at the cast, everybody else in this movie is, like, Italian.
6:24
Like, their names are, like, They all end in vowels, yeah.
6:27
Enzo Scarappucci, or, you know, it's like a goddamn menu,
6:31
looking at the cast, right?
6:33
Do you like your spaghetti with meatballs or without, you know?
6:37
Good lord.
6:37
You guys may be wondering How much do I have to pay to watch this?
6:40
If I want to watch it tonight, it was six bucks on Amazon.
6:44
It wasn't a lot on voodoo either.
6:46
So it's not like we're breaking the bank to watch this.
6:48
To your point, it was captivating.
6:50
It's like, there's plenty of movies about Ferrari.
6:52
There's plenty of stuff about Porsche and other races and whatnot.
6:55
But when you see Lamborghini, it's like, Oh my God, we got,
6:58
we got to check this out.
7:01
Yeah, exactly.
7:02
Right.
7:02
And you're like, so I got to give it some credit.
7:05
Despite the weird race, which we'll talk about as we go along the opening
7:09
scene, the flashback to Chianto, Italy, you know, which is a suburb
7:13
outside of Molden on things like that.
7:15
I was like, cool, this is going to be a neat little, like we're going
7:18
to start at the beginning and we're going to work through this and so on.
7:22
It fell apart.
7:23
Like almost right away you mentioned the race like we start off and we see aged
7:29
Frank Grillo with the chalk in his hair and Gabriel Byrne they're like in their
7:33
respective Lamborghinis and Ferraris at a random red light start that race.
7:39
We're going to cut back to this just randomly for like 10
7:42
seconds throughout the movie.
7:43
Like anytime it's like, scene change, we're going to get
7:46
a couple seconds of that.
7:47
And maybe even the same one from the last scene change.
7:50
Oh, you noticed that too?
7:52
Yeah.
7:53
But wait, do we address?
7:55
The elephant in the movie now, or do we wait, we wait, we wait, yes,
8:01
there's a lot of continuity problems with this movie that be more specific
8:05
for me, but yeah, there's a thing that happens in that scene that, like, you
8:11
should just end watching the movie.
8:13
All right, so I have to ask because I'm not in any way knowledgeable
8:17
of the history of Lamborghini.
8:19
So how much.
8:20
Of this was true because from someone who has no knowledge wasn't
8:23
hateful for this, what it was, I guess, presenting as a biopic, but
8:28
I was like, I don't know how much.
8:30
Why do you want to wait?
8:31
Eric did not cover this.
8:32
I mean, this just sets the tone for the whole movie.
8:35
Just go go for it.
8:36
Eric.
8:36
I don't know.
8:37
But can I guess that how much of it is true?
8:39
Sure, go ahead, Steve.
8:40
I was surprised that Ferruccio Lamborghini didn't direct this movie.
8:47
I assume, maybe it was his son, like, actually wrote it, and like, no,
8:52
no, I need an Academy Award winner guy to help out, blah, blah, blah.
8:55
Because it's a weird tone, though, because This is what happens when
8:59
writers stop writing and they use chat GPT to develop a screenplay for a movie.
9:05
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
9:06
Chat GPT would have gotten this right.
9:08
Because when chat GPT goes, in what year did Enzo Ferrari die?
9:14
It would have found the answer to be 1988.
9:17
Making it impossible for Enzo Ferrari to be racing Lamborghini in 19 F ing 92.
9:23
Oh my god, really?
9:25
Yes.
9:25
The ghost of Enzo was in that Ferrari apparently.
9:31
Ferruccio Lamborghini died in 1993, a year after the supposed drag
9:36
race occurred between him and Enzo.
9:38
Well that makes sense because, spoiler alert, at the end of this movie
9:42
Apparently that was all a fucking dream.
9:46
I assume a Jacob's Ladder situation.
9:48
He just imagined it on Death's Door.
9:51
He also was 95 when he died.
9:53
So he was a damn good looking 94 year old in that scene.
9:57
Yeah, that was a sexy 90 year old right there.
10:00
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
10:01
Ferrari was 95?
10:03
No, Ferrari was dead for four years.
10:06
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:06
Well, okay.
10:07
Wait, so he was 45 during World War II?
10:11
When he came back from World War II?
10:13
Enzo Ferrari, most people don't realize, was born in the 1800s.
10:17
Oh, okay, but wow, wow.
10:20
Ferruccio was in his 80s when he died.
10:22
Yeah, there you go.
10:23
Yeah.
10:23
What brings that full circle to Dan's point about how accurate this is?
10:28
If you did what Tanya and I did, which was painstakingly sit through
10:32
the credits, there's actually a blurb at the end of the movie that
10:36
basically says, all of this is fake.
10:38
All of this is made up.
10:40
All characters are fictitious and are not based in any reality, blah, blah, blah.
10:44
Pretty much, because it's not officially licensed, sponsored
10:47
by Ferrari or Lamborghini.
10:49
And I mean, it's got this big disclaimer at the end.
10:51
Then how can they use the fucking logo?
10:53
Okay, alright, alright.
10:54
I don't know.
10:55
Alright, so chapter one, Dreams.
10:59
World War II, I guess, just wrapped up.
11:01
We're in Cento, Italy.
11:02
Some, I don't know, 18 year old kid hops off the bus, returning
11:06
home to his palatial vineyard.
11:09
But apparently he was in his mid 40s.
11:12
When this happened, and Italy at that time would have been just decimated.
11:16
Oh yeah.
11:17
Post World War II, especially right at the brink, it was famine.
11:21
I mean, our grandparents as an example, they left Italy because there was nothing.
11:25
And they were in the breadbasket of Italy where all this took place.
11:29
Now, obviously Enzo started his company.
11:32
You know, Ferrari in 1947.
11:34
So they were making progress.
11:36
Rebuilding was happening.
11:37
Reconstruction was happening, but it was not this beautiful vineyard in Napa
11:42
Valley that they showed in the movie.
11:45
And let's fact correct.
11:46
So we're not as bad as the movie.
11:48
Cause I was misspeaking, confusing Enzo Lamborghini, Ferrucci Ferrari.
11:53
So he was Lamborghini was 77 when he died.
11:57
So he was 29 at the end of World War II.
11:59
Okay, late 20s.
12:00
All right, I'll buy it.
12:02
But the kid in this movie looks like he's 18.
12:04
He's probably like 21, 22 or something.
12:07
But it's totally like fresh faced like, Oh, I'm going to
12:10
propose to my first girlfriend.
12:12
It's going to be great.
12:14
That is not quite that out of an accent, but we were trying
12:17
to figure that out as well.
12:18
Was she German?
12:19
The actress was.
12:20
Yeah.
12:21
Okay.
12:21
Yeah.
12:21
Cause the accent was very wrong.
12:23
It was very access powers.
12:27
I mean, they had to make her stand out.
12:29
I mean, whatever.
12:30
Different parts of Italy can make arguments.
12:32
There are blondes in Italy, but a lot of the run there in the mid forties though,
12:37
like just hiding out there in Italy.
12:39
Yeah.
12:40
So yes, he comes home to open arms.
12:44
Yeah, including his father's, uh, who owns this palatial vineyard.
12:48
And the family is doing quite well for what should be a war ravaged
12:52
Italy, but he's trying to find his purpose and basically like, Hey,
12:57
I'm going to build some tractors.
12:59
All right, cool.
13:00
Half the price and twice the power.
13:02
It's I can engineer it.
13:03
I did it in the war.
13:05
Okay, cool.
13:05
Cool.
13:06
So that's where the first inconsistency starts with me.
13:09
I could be corrected by our listeners, but the way I understood the story,
13:13
the beginnings of Lamborghini and why he wanted to build the
13:16
tractor was because he had gone.
13:19
to Ferrari, who was already building tractors, and he
13:23
wouldn't sell Ferruccio a tractor.
13:25
So he said, screw it, I'll build my own.
13:28
Did Ferruccio not have money?
13:30
That part of the story I don't know, but what I understand about the rivalry
13:33
between Ferrari and Lamborghinis, it started much Earlier and a lot of people
13:37
are like, wait, Ferrari built tractors.
13:38
Well, I got news for you.
13:39
We did an episode on this Porsche built tractors too, because back in those days,
13:44
post war war two, the only companies under all these rules, especially with American
13:48
occupation was that engineering companies or auto manufacturers were the only ones
13:53
that could build that type of equipment.
13:54
Yeah.
13:55
Makes sense.
13:56
Here we go again.
13:56
Right?
13:57
So there's already this inconsistency here with the racing stuff and,
14:01
and the tractors and whatnot.
14:02
I'm like.
14:03
Whatever.
14:03
How's he gonna finance starting this tractor company?
14:05
Uh, first I got the winner of this first race, but it's not gonna be
14:08
me, it's gonna be my friend Mateo.
14:10
And, you know, I'm just gonna help him build a car, it's gonna be great.
14:13
But we don't have a car.
14:14
I know, I'm gonna build it!
14:15
But what is the whole thing, like, how are you gonna pay for it?
14:17
It's like, you know, a man who has no debt has no reason to work.
14:21
Yeah, I was like, what?
14:22
I was like, that's an interesting idea, okay, alright, alright.
14:25
I get it.
14:26
You know, it's funny because I'm fact checking some of this.
14:29
Oh, no.
14:30
And that BS racing scene where then like, he's like ripping the steering
14:34
wheel out of the other guy's hand.
14:36
Like, I'm like, how, what the?
14:37
Oh, my God.
14:38
Nevermind.
14:39
Apparently that never happened.
14:40
But what he did do is built that car and then entered it into
14:44
the Mille Miglia race in 1948.
14:46
Uh, that's not what that race was.
14:49
No, not at all.
14:50
That was like a race around the church.
14:52
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:53
Yeah.
14:53
This was like the church cookout.
14:55
Oh, by the way, we're going to have the kids race go karts kind of a setup.
14:59
Because up until that point, I was like, all right, suspension of disbelief.
15:02
We're going to take some artistic license.
15:04
I turned to Tanya immediately when I saw the Porsche and the Benz.
15:08
And I said, those cars are wrong.
15:09
And she's like, what do you mean?
15:10
And I said, that three 56 is like a three 56 B from like the
15:15
late fifties, early sixties, that Mercedes, the 300 SL convertible.
15:20
They were using that car.
15:21
Didn't even come out until 1952.
15:23
And it didn't look like that.
15:25
So I was like, this is all freaking wrong.
15:29
That's where it just, again, started to completely fall apart.
15:32
This movie had such potential.
15:36
You see what I mean about the W 1 94 big grill and logo, and then no bumpers?
15:40
No nothing.
15:41
Yeah.
15:42
I don't remember what it looked like in the movie, but I'm pretty
15:44
sure it doesn't look like a W 1 94.
15:46
No, Mercedes doesn't.
15:47
No, but I'd have to watch it again, but that would mean I'd
15:50
have to watch the movie again.
15:52
I'm gonna do that.
15:52
No, no, don't do that.
15:54
No.
15:54
Not worth it.
15:56
After they lose that race because he just yanks the fucking wheel for some reason.
16:01
I don't even know why.
16:02
He's like, you're gonna miss the turn.
16:04
He's like, no, I'm not.
16:04
I'm fucking driving.
16:06
You're like, oh, no, dude, miss it.
16:07
Ah, they go off the road, whatever.
16:09
One more thing about that race.
16:10
It's a lot like trading paint.
16:12
Did they go over 20 miles an hour at any point?
16:14
No, not at all.
16:19
They did a little bit of fast and furious shifting constantly though.
16:22
Oh yeah.
16:23
Yeah.
16:23
They didn't have like the 12 gear engines, like a semi truck or anything.
16:28
Oh no, it was so terrible.
16:30
I don't know what was worse, the modern race or that race, but we'll go back
16:34
to the modern race many times over.
16:36
Oh, we will.
16:37
Ferrari's like a, they're at race day to like announce, we want to
16:40
congratulate everybody, but it's like, he's full fucking Scottish.
16:43
Like, it's like, all right, boy.
16:45
Oh, we've got a fun race day ahead of you.
16:48
So bad.
16:49
Top of the morning.
16:52
Yeah, so then, uh, I don't know.
16:53
It's 1946.
16:54
You just said something important, Steve.
16:56
1946.
16:57
Uh huh.
16:57
But I was confused about the year, and I wrote it down several times,
17:01
and I have some notes, actually.
17:02
Is it 46?
17:03
Is it 47?
17:04
Or 48?
17:05
Yes.
17:05
And the reason I asked is they say Enzo's about to start
17:09
his company, da da da da da.
17:12
1947 he was still with without for a male and all that stuff up until that
17:15
point But then if you looked at the newspaper in the background, it said 1948.
17:20
So which is it?
17:22
There was like this whole inconsistency and the New Year's was like going
17:26
into 1946 I think somebody said so it's like was the race really that
17:30
long Is that how long it took to do like 250 miles is like 18 months?
17:34
Shouldn't have no, it just made no sense at all.
17:38
So here we are to your point, New Year's we're with the girlfriend.
17:41
I, at first I thought they were singing karaoke or something.
17:44
Cause they were just up there, like with the band singing and blah, blah, blah.
17:46
And I'm like, wait, was Lamborghini also like part of a musical troupe,
17:49
like singing, uh, Big band songs or something that's like, Oh,
17:53
no, it's just a new year's thing.
17:54
And blah, blah, blah.
17:55
I turned to Tanya and I said, where's the accordion?
17:59
I was missing.
18:00
It's Northern Italy.
18:01
There's gotta be a squeeze box in this band.
18:03
I mean, it's, it's not right.
18:05
And the girlfriend's German.
18:06
She has to have one.
18:07
Doesn't seem period appropriate not to have it.
18:09
Exactly.
18:10
But yeah, we get the whole like, Oh, I love you forever.
18:13
Me and my, my single friend, Matteo.
18:16
We're like a, a, a thruple.
18:18
We're, it'd be nothing but happy days forever and ever.
18:21
And I'm like, all right, one of them's dying soon and the
18:23
other one's just going to leave.
18:25
I don't, not sure which is which because I don't know the
18:26
story, but I know this story.
18:29
I'm not trying to be like whatever, but I think he was in
18:31
a relationship with his nose.
18:33
Because they cast the guy with the biggest schnoz they could find
18:37
that sort of looked and sounded Italian to play this Matteo guy.
18:40
Did you notice?
18:41
He turned and I was like, holy crap, it's Adrian Brody.
18:44
Like, it's like, yeah, yeah, the Matteo friend.
18:48
I actually like had to look it up.
18:49
Like, is that Adrian Brody?
18:51
I mean, it looks too young, but yeah.
18:55
Oh yeah.
18:55
So then we cut forward to some time and uh, the girlfriend's like walking in with
19:00
breakfast and I'm like, Wait, it's 9 p.
19:02
m?
19:02
Breakfast for like, late dinner kind of a thing?
19:05
I don't know, it was a weird But somewhere in that breakfast,
19:07
they got married, right?
19:08
Because it's suddenly They lost the race and it's like, Oh cool, you lost a race.
19:13
Whatever, you have to get money some other way.
19:15
I don't know.
19:15
Believe in your dreams!
19:16
And then he's like, Well, I had this idea about a rowing machine.
19:20
You know, so people can work out and stuff.
19:22
And I'm like Is this a thing?
19:25
Nordic Track by Lamborghini.
19:27
Also he pulls out, oh god, what were those things Chuck Norris and
19:30
Christie Brinkley sold in the 80s?
19:32
Bowflex.
19:32
Bowflex, that's it, yeah.
19:34
What about your rowing machine idea?
19:37
That was a good one.
19:38
Nobody needs to lose weight.
19:40
All the women got skinny during the war.
19:43
I might need one in, I don't know, eight, nine months.
19:48
I said I might need a weight loss machine in about nine months.
19:51
I told you, I was thinking.
19:53
She's having a baby, you fool.
19:55
W WHAAAAAT?
19:58
Yeah, so then he goes to, uh, the Banca de Santo, and he's standing
20:01
outside the bank looking at it.
20:03
I just see, like, in his head, like, he's looking at it
20:05
like, this looks like a bank.
20:06
Like, that's the only thing I can assume he's contemplating with that expression
20:10
on his face, looking at the bank.
20:12
He's like, huh, ain't that weird.
20:13
There's a bank here.
20:15
Next to the church next to where you're building the tractor, right?
20:19
I mean, come on.
20:20
Yeah.
20:20
I mean, it is Italy, so everything would be next to each other.
20:23
What do you need a car for when you can walk?
20:25
That's how it works, right?
20:26
They deny him, so then he goes to talk to his dad.
20:28
His dad, who has this palatial vineyard.
20:31
That has, I guess, been in the family since the 8th century or
20:34
something, I don't know what.
20:35
But he's like, Dad, I need money.
20:37
And then the dad leaves and comes back with one of those,
20:40
like, Danish cookie tins.
20:42
Right?
20:42
That I expect him to open and have, like, a bunch of spools of yarn
20:45
and shit or something in there.
20:48
Little bit of thread, like, I noticed your, uh, suit was a little shabby,
20:51
I thought I'd pitch that up for you.
20:52
No.
20:53
Right?
20:53
But instead, it's a bunch of cash, and I love how, uh, Frucio's response
20:57
is just like, It's not enough, Dad.
20:58
It's not enough.
20:59
So he mortgages His family's farm for, I guess, enough money to make one tractor.
21:06
And I'm like, okay, so he's a selfish dick.
21:09
I mean, it's a huge risk, for sure.
21:12
That's what his wife thought.
21:13
The wife is the voice of reason.
21:15
She's like, that's very selfish.
21:16
You need to take this money back now and give it to your father.
21:18
And he's like, I don't think it works that way.
21:20
And I'm like, you know, he's got a point there too.
21:22
I don't think that's how it works.
21:24
He's go back to the bank, hand it back and like, look on
21:26
second thought, nevermind guys.
21:29
On top of the fact that like during that time, I can't imagine how stressful
21:34
making payments post war would have been.
21:37
Yeah.
21:37
A fresh mortgage.
21:38
It's like the timing of that is like complete insanity when I was watching.
21:41
It's like, what do they think?
21:42
Not only that, what money was there to borrow?
21:45
Italy was bankrupt.
21:46
I don't get it.
21:47
Oh, you could get wheelbarrows of that stuff.
21:49
It just didn't mean anything.
21:50
Of course.
21:52
I mean, it looked like the vibe of the town.
21:54
And like, when he went to the bank and everything, it was as if there
21:57
had been no war that devastated an entire country and countries.
22:01
I will say they did paint the picture that it was like the Dolce Vita
22:04
times, like the early 60s, where they had reconstructed and life was
22:08
turning around and things were good.
22:10
And Northern Italy was.
22:11
Doing what it does to keep things going, especially for food and
22:14
for industry and all that, but war torn Italy barely a year.
22:18
Let's say after the war was over, everybody was destitute.
22:22
Here's another part of the movie that I was waiting to come in
22:25
at this point too, because.
22:26
It's the family farm.
22:28
We know he has brothers that work on the farm and like all these other
22:31
people, the farm has been mortgaged.
22:33
The brothers and sisters and everything have nothing to say on the subject.
22:36
Nope.
22:37
They're not even in the movie other than like in the background
22:40
plucking grapes and shit.
22:41
Oh, they ran out of money for that part of the cast.
22:43
They had to dismiss all them.
22:44
So for me, we started building the tractor.
22:47
I'm curious how he could market something that was just other companies, parts
22:51
that he hodgepodge together to create it.
22:53
This is Italy.
22:54
Well, I don't know why you're asking that question.
22:56
I mean, come on, man.
22:57
Seriously?
22:58
How dare you talk about eBay that way?
23:02
They went to a salvage yard and got like a truck chassis and cut it down.
23:07
I think they did bend some tins for like the hood and stuff.
23:10
Now, when we do get to the part where he is building the tractor and suddenly
23:14
he can afford a garage in the middle of town across from the church that
23:18
they raced around and all that that mock up that they built in there.
23:22
If you look up the history of Lamborghini tractors does look like
23:26
the original Lamborghini tractor.
23:28
So whether or not.
23:30
The final product in the movie was one from a museum or something like that.
23:34
Neither here nor there, I didn't even bother to look.
23:37
That at least they got right.
23:38
It wasn't like, Oh, we got a John Deere and sprayed it orange, which I took
23:42
issue with the spray guns that they were using and the air compressors.
23:45
And I'm like, Oh, whatever.
23:47
Anyway, no, but apparently fact checking.
23:50
So he was getting parts.
23:52
I really was getting them from some sort of government.
23:55
military entity.
23:56
And so he was buying like old military stuff and that's how
23:59
he was making the tractors.
24:00
And then the engines all came from Morris trucks.
24:03
And in whatever that fuel thing is, like he actually like invented that himself.
24:07
Yeah.
24:07
I was, I was intrigued by the dual fuel, like starting it off
24:10
one and switch to the other.
24:11
Cause I know some of the old farmhalls are run like that.
24:13
I wasn't sure how true that was, but it was definitely an interesting.
24:17
You know, what I did appreciate is that he used copper and that's a family tradition.
24:23
So now I see that it's an Italian thing.
24:25
It comes from Lamborghini, the use of copper in a vehicle, tractor, whatever.
24:30
I mean, I was down on that.
24:31
That was good.
24:32
A hundred percent full send with the copper.
24:34
Yeah.
24:34
Always, always.
24:35
So Steve, keep us going.
24:36
Where are we at now?
24:37
And this, this tragedy romance comedy that we're reviewing.
24:41
Wait, now listen to this to just.
24:44
Muddle the timeline even more if this is true.
24:47
And I quote, Lamborghini was taken prisoner when the island fell.
24:52
He was on whatever island of roads, territory, the kingdom of Italy back
24:56
then when the island fell to the British at the end of the war in 1945 and was
25:00
not able to return home until the next year, just in time for New Year's Eve.
25:05
So he wasn't even home to what?
25:06
1946.
25:08
Hopped in a race car and built a tractor.
25:09
Boom.
25:10
All in one year.
25:10
Yeah, yeah.
25:11
It was a very busy 18 months once he got back.
25:14
Had a kid, didn't see a wedding.
25:16
New German wife.
25:17
But then his wife died in 1947, so Oh shit.
25:21
Oh my god, what a mess.
25:23
Oh shit.
25:24
You know what the tractor was?
25:25
It was a fucking time machine.
25:26
That's why it's so muddled.
25:28
It got all mixed around and so it like doesn't make sense really, but
25:31
it's like These are the events as they happened, but then you like
25:35
would forward back to the future.
25:37
It was all part of a Ponzi scheme, I'm sure.
25:38
It's whatever he was breathing in on that orange paint.
25:41
Whoever the writers were, all they had to do was read Wikipedia.
25:44
Yeah.
25:45
To have gotten it like 80 percent correct.
25:48
And the whole thing about this movie is like, you know, the Ford v
25:51
Ferrari came out a couple years ago.
25:52
Great flick, told a decent story.
25:54
Yeah, they took some liberties with this and that, whatever.
25:57
But this was supposed to be like, yeah, Lamborghini v Ferrari.
26:00
That's not really the movie.
26:02
Nope.
26:02
It's more, how did Lamborghini be a dick his entire life, but become rich,
26:08
and then, according to the story, made it all good in the end in a way?
26:12
Or didn't?
26:12
Who knows?
26:13
Who cares?
26:14
Like, Ferrari is a ridiculous side note in this movie, basically.
26:20
They could have left Enzo out and it would have made a bit of difference at the end.
26:23
With the fact that all of the facts and like details are so wrong on
26:27
this, I didn't go to look to see if there were any reviews on this movie,
26:31
but I'm curious if the only review would be on Snopes saying it's wrong.
26:34
I've got a few.
26:34
I've got critic reviews to uh, share with everybody too.
26:37
It's going to be great.
26:38
Oh yeah, yeah.
26:39
As we get to the end and wrap this up.
26:40
But you've now talked about the death of his wife.
26:42
We're going there.
26:43
So let's talk about the delivery of his son.
26:46
Oh my god.
26:47
The most realistic and gory part of the film.
26:50
I would have thought this part was a part of a Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi film.
26:54
It was gross.
26:55
I didn't understand why we needed to see, like, the red death.
27:00
Like, what is this?
27:01
It was pretty bad.
27:02
And you knew something like that was going to happen.
27:04
It was like, you know, our baby's being born tomorrow, so
27:08
you can't stay working late.
27:09
You're like, oh, don't worry, I won't.
27:11
Guess what I would do?
27:12
Take the day off.
27:13
My baby is being born.
27:14
What's going to happen to this tractor in six hours?
27:17
Nothing.
27:18
He had to wait to get the emblem plate for the fucking emblem.
27:23
Guess what?
27:23
It'll be there the next morning too.
27:25
So that was another thing that baffled me about it because back
27:28
during that period, it wasn't common for the fathers to be allowed in
27:32
like the birthing areas and stuff.
27:34
So unless Italy was different, cause I know in the U S it wasn't a common
27:38
thing until probably the late sixties, early seventies where the men were.
27:41
Welcome to come into the delivery room and stuff.
27:43
Okay, I'll give you that.
27:44
But still, just knowing he's there, like, when she's screaming Ferruccio from the
27:49
dungeon or whatever that she's bleeding to death in, you at least hear back,
27:53
I don't even remember what his wife's name is, Oh, Matilda, it's okay, it'll
27:57
be okay, the doctor's all there for you.
27:59
And then they squirt more blood out onto the table.
28:01
Oh, so nasty.
28:02
Yeah.
28:03
So like, okay, she died, that's fine.
28:05
It should be covered.
28:06
However.
28:07
That scene was so out of place with the rest of the movie.
28:12
I was like, why did you have to depict her dying in childbirth
28:16
as if we were watching Saw?
28:17
I was waiting for Grissom and the rest of the cast of CSI
28:21
to come out at the same time.
28:23
Like, I don't understand.
28:25
It was so vivid.
28:26
It was Oh my god, it was like those sex ed health class birthing videos.
28:31
I mean, it was just so dramatic.
28:33
Yeah, all this is immediately after there's a scene where he's hanging
28:37
out with his buddy Mateo like at a cafe and there's the bus that comes
28:40
through town every day and there's this hot brunette chick that gets off and
28:43
Mateo's like, Oh, she's so beautiful.
28:46
I'm already in love.
28:47
You're like, well, why don't you just go talk to her?
28:48
It's like, I can't just talk to him.
28:50
I'm like, this guy isn't fucking Italian.
28:52
No.
28:53
I have never seen an Italian person that's like, I can't just talk to her.
28:58
It's more, I can't possibly not talk to her.
29:01
Even if it makes her incredibly uncomfortable, I'm gonna
29:03
talk to her just louder.
29:05
So, so they did the whole Cyrano de Bergerac trope.
29:08
Go say hello.
29:09
Why should I?
29:10
Because you like her?
29:11
Maybe she doesn't like me.
29:12
You'll never know if you don't talk to her.
29:14
You go over.
29:15
You let your mouth move.
29:17
Any sense?
29:18
Hello.
29:18
Very good.
29:20
Anita, say hello to my friend, Matteo.
29:23
Hi.
29:24
What he meant to say is, why don't you sit down and join us?
29:27
I can't.
29:28
I will be late for school.
29:29
What do you study?
29:30
Economics.
29:31
Oh, and Matteo's the greatest race car driver that the world has ever known.
29:36
He knows more about engines than anyone else.
29:39
No.
29:40
It was just so terrible, like, oh, Ferruccio's my wingman.
29:43
He's the greatest driver in all of Italy.
29:46
No, I'm not.
29:47
All right, well, my wingman duties are done here.
29:49
You all have fun.
29:50
And then she's like, I gotta get to class.
29:51
Bye.
29:52
Oh, so bad.
29:54
Jump back to the birthing scene for just a moment.
29:56
Yeah.
29:56
Yeah.
29:56
Okay.
29:57
Please.
29:57
Let's do so after the birthing scene is all said and done with should have put
30:02
a screenshot of that as my backdrop.
30:06
He ends up back with the tractor and he's like beating up the shop.
30:11
Right?
30:12
Oh, he's fucking that place up.
30:13
Just right.
30:14
I mean, it's like he's looking for Secrets or something.
30:17
I don't know.
30:17
He's turning tables over and then suddenly he's like, I'm gonna beat the track.
30:21
Where's the microfilm?
30:22
Yeah, exactly and it's like Like he's gonna take it out on the tractor
30:25
what dawned on me in the middle of this I turned to Tanya and I
30:28
said Who's taking care of the kid?
30:30
Yeah still in the hospital.
30:31
I guess it yeah Parents, because he lives at home.
30:35
The servants back at the vineyard.
30:37
I just, I didn't know, but he was just born.
30:39
I'm like, should you be there?
30:40
No, you left and went back to the tractor?
30:42
No, he's destroying everything around him and he's just about to plow that
30:45
tractor and he's like, wait, brakes.
30:47
Nope.
30:48
Can't do that.
30:49
This is my livelihood.
30:50
I've already lost my wife.
30:51
I've got a baby that I don't even know what it is.
30:54
I didn't even check if it's an innie or an outie.
30:57
I mortgaged my father's Farm.
30:59
We're gonna lose the farm.
31:01
Meanwhile, six minutes later, he sits down with Mateo's girl
31:04
that he can't make a move on.
31:05
He was like out having a smoke or something somewhere
31:08
and she like came out to him.
31:10
She was beautiful.
31:11
She was everything.
31:12
Now sit.
31:13
If you do, I will let you.
31:15
Yes, what will happen.
31:16
I'll only take what you have to give me because I need it.
31:19
You'll hate me for it.
31:21
Don't want Mateo.
31:22
I want you Faro.
31:23
And I'm like, why?
31:25
Why?
31:25
Because he's such a nice guy.
31:27
Because he's got the smell of placenta on him still probably.
31:31
I don't know what, but she's like, no, you so amazing and blah, blah, blah.
31:35
I like how he's just basically like, look, I don't give a.
31:37
Fuck about you, right?
31:39
And i'm like, well, apparently that's her type.
31:42
So sure I was beside myself.
31:46
I mean that's even if that was real.
31:48
Yeah, it's ballsy Why is it in this movie if it's trying to be like
31:52
lamborghini this great visionary blah blah blah Tully doesn't give a fuck
31:57
about anybody except for his dead wife.
31:59
It may just be his excuse, like, No, it was the one love, and now after that, all
32:02
these bitches don't mean a thing to me.
32:04
They made him out to be, like, the biggest tool on the planet.
32:07
Yes!
32:08
The entire movie!
32:09
I don't get it.
32:10
But it makes sense where you're at the end of, like, Oh, yeah, Lamborghini
32:12
has nothing to do with this.
32:13
Then it's like, Oh, so they're going to get sued for the box
32:17
office of I'm assuming 12 grand, half of which is here with us.
32:20
Yeah.
32:20
Right.
32:22
So yeah, apparently they're a thing now, but my tail is super jelly.
32:26
Cause he's like, Hey, that was my girl.
32:29
And it was basically how cold it was.
32:31
Cause at this point he's like doll's eyes.
32:33
Like he's like shark.
32:34
I just not giving a fuck about anything.
32:36
It seems.
32:37
And my tail is like.
32:37
Clelia was the smart one.
32:39
She said nothing could come of this.
32:42
And look what happened.
32:43
I won 25 percent of the company.
32:45
The rest is yours.
32:46
All right.
32:47
I'm just going to leave town.
32:48
Did he get 25 percent of the company?
32:50
That doesn't matter.
32:51
Cause I was like, what an idiot who negotiates that way?
32:55
It says I only want 25%.
32:58
Like, seriously?
32:59
To be fair, wasn't he basically just the driver?
33:01
Or was he also an engineer and stuff too?
33:03
He was also an engineer.
33:04
They were both.
33:05
Oh, okay.
33:05
They both learned in the military, however true that is.
33:09
Okay.
33:09
Supposed to be equal partners in this.
33:11
And then he's like, I only want 25%.
33:14
Maybe he's on an Island Barbados or something relaxing the rest of the time.
33:18
He's on the Island of Capri.
33:19
He's got a mansion with his mere 25 percent for not doing a damn thing.
33:23
I didn't get it.
33:25
That was so bizarre.
33:26
I mean, we, we had a good laugh about it.
33:27
Cause it's like.
33:28
Who negotiates like that?
33:29
Like you're an idiot.
33:30
Well, and at that time, what would 25 percent of the company have been worth?
33:34
Nothing.
33:35
Zero.
33:35
I mean, one tire, a quarter of a steering wheel.
33:41
So now we start chapter two, the golden years.
33:44
Don't worry guys.
33:44
There's only three chapters in this, in this novel.
33:47
Jumps right to 1963.
33:49
So we fast forward quite a bit.
33:51
And now Frank Grillo's back in the movie he's in his forties
33:55
or fifties or whatever now.
33:56
Looking like an Elvis impersonator at the same time.
33:59
Good lord.
34:00
Totally got the, like, Elvis Robert Evans vibe from, uh, Frank Grillo.
34:04
And then the wife is also the brunette, but it's now Mira Sorvino instead of,
34:08
like, some 18 year old Italian chick.
34:10
They're having a fight because she's like, You need to spend
34:12
more time with your son Tonino.
34:14
And he's like, My what now?
34:15
Yeah, you're like 16 to 24 year old son, depending on whatever year it really is.
34:22
Oh, cool.
34:22
Yeah.
34:22
I'll take them out on the boat or whatever.
34:24
And blah, blah, blah.
34:25
They have a little chat.
34:26
They never get on that boat because I assume there were
34:29
very specific instructions.
34:30
You guys do not take this out of the slip.
34:33
That's Lamborghini's boat or something, or, you know, somebody's boat and they
34:36
slapped a Lamborghini sticker on it.
34:38
Now that like the tractor.
34:40
I think was a legit boat out of somebody's collection or a museum or something.
34:44
Yeah.
34:45
There was no way they were putting that on the water.
34:47
Yeah.
34:47
That's like from like Lake Arrowhead or something like where they shot
34:50
that probably gorgeous boat, right?
34:52
It looks like an old bond boat from the sixties or whatever.
34:54
Beautiful, beautiful piece of, but they're like, don't you even start
34:57
this thing up now you do that shit and post or something special effects.
35:02
So we're in the factory now, the Lamborghini tractor factory, right?
35:06
Yeah.
35:06
Yeah.
35:07
And did you pick up on the.
35:08
Tanya did right away.
35:09
She's like, Oh God, puts her, you know, her head in her hands.
35:13
Cause they start using New York slang.
35:15
We got all the, the for Jules and the fun ghouls.
35:18
It was like, wow.
35:24
That's what Italian is.
35:25
Right?
35:26
I've seen a Scorsese movie.
35:27
I know what's up.
35:29
Huah!
35:30
Cabagool!
35:30
It's so terrible.
35:31
I'm going to dignify this.
35:33
Gorlami!
35:34
What gets me, and I don't know if Dan picked up on this, Ferruccio
35:38
Lamborghini drives Ferraris.
35:40
And they talked about how he's got one for every day of the week.
35:44
Yeah!
35:44
Dan, did you notice the car was actually period appropriate?
35:47
It was the same Ferrari in a different color as the one
35:51
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
35:53
I don't know if anybody caught that.
35:54
So it's a 250 California, right?
35:59
That said, he's working on the car, right Dan?
36:02
He's looking clean as all get out with his lab coat on and all this kind of thing.
36:06
What is he working on?
36:07
Well, wasn't it the clutch he was working on at that point?
36:09
From what angle?
36:10
Yeah, from the top of the car.
36:12
Yeah.
36:12
Yeah.
36:13
Okay.
36:13
I thought that was weird too.
36:14
I'm like, well, maybe it's, maybe I just don't know my Italian
36:16
sports cars and I got it all like backwards and upside down, but.
36:19
Yeah, no.
36:21
I don't want to call him wearing a lab coat.
36:22
I thought he was wearing, he had that long, he had that long coat
36:24
or whatever the hell it was.
36:25
He was his, his science coat.
36:28
Either way, he was way too clean to be working on a car.
36:30
Thousand percent.
36:31
Yeah.
36:32
Then you have the Kiwi driver friend that showed up like the scene before dude.
36:35
Bob Wallace.
36:36
We're going to get that.
36:37
But then again, this is the thing I took away from this movie is
36:41
they had a lot of budget for some really good, authentic props.
36:45
So we got the tractor.
36:46
We got the boat, we got a two 50, California.
36:49
None of these things are cheap.
36:50
They might've all came from maybe the same collector or collection.
36:53
But to me, I was like, all right, that's cool.
36:55
At least you got that much.
36:57
I mean, you can rent this kind of stuff in Vegas, I'm sure.
36:59
But it might've actually been a dots and leftover from Corvette
37:03
summer, but you know, whatever.
37:06
So yes, enter the Kiwi, Bob Wallace.
37:08
Uh, looking this up real quick, Eric, it was actually a replica car.
37:11
Was it really?
37:12
Uh, okay.
37:13
It's the internet movie car database that actually shows
37:16
each of the cars in the scenes.
37:17
Oh, nice.
37:18
I'm pretty sure it's the same one that they used when he was working on it there.
37:20
When he pulls up outside, when they were testing one of the cars and saying,
37:23
uh, Ferrari 250 Testarossa 59 replica.
37:26
All right.
37:27
So we come to the final meeting, Lamborghini.
37:30
V Ferrari, Ferruccio is just hanging outside, I guess the
37:33
Ferrari headquarters or whatever.
37:35
And Enzo comes out with his, you know, bodyguard or driver.
37:38
I don't know what exactly, but it comes out and he's like, Ferruccio Lamborghini.
37:42
You know who I am?
37:43
Oh, yes.
37:44
You're my tractors.
37:45
I don't have conditioning or anything.
37:47
I've got a dinner appointment.
37:48
Forgive me, but your clutch does not live up to your car.
37:51
I come as a friend.
37:52
I'm sure you know this.
37:53
I'm not the first to point it out.
37:55
I have a solution.
37:56
If you consider a partnership, Ferrari, Lamborghini, we make
38:00
the best cars in the world.
38:01
Go back to your tractors, Farmer.
38:03
I've noticed something with your cars, though.
38:05
The, the, the clutch, uh, it, it, uh, sucks the balls, you might say.
38:11
It's, it's, uh, weaker than a cannoli, you know?
38:14
To be fair.
38:16
There are different ways to go about this partnership than just kind of like
38:20
running up on somebody and being like, yo, yo, your car suck, but I can help you.
38:24
It was so skeezy.
38:26
I mean, it was just like, wow, really?
38:28
You might as well have been selling in vacuum cleaners and Encyclopedia
38:31
Britannicas at the same time, but I didn't even take issue with that.
38:35
It was Enzo gets in a car.
38:38
It drives away.
38:38
Did anybody notice what Enzo drove away in?
38:41
Was it a Mercedes?
38:42
Not a Ferrari.
38:43
No, no.
38:44
It was a Rolls Royce.
38:45
Yeah.
38:46
Yeah.
38:46
Okay.
38:46
And I'm like, hold on a second.
38:48
So I had to go back and I talked to some people that know and things like that.
38:52
And, you know, I did some fact checking of my own through the
38:54
community and everybody says.
38:56
that Ferrari drove himself to and from work every day, and he either drove a
39:01
Fiat Dino or a Ferrari 330, which he designed for himself as a daily driver.
39:07
So where the hell did this Rolls Royce come from?
39:09
To be fair, the Ferrari in this story Is apparently an 80 year old Scottish man.
39:14
There's a different parallel Ferrari that none of us have
39:17
known about this whole time.
39:18
This is the multiverse.
39:20
Yeah.
39:21
Star Trek time loop continuum.
39:24
Next up, John Delancey shows up as Q and solves all the problems.
39:28
This is the man in the behind the legend, a little, little, little
39:32
misquote from the title there.
39:35
Oh, yeah, he sees the bull fighting art or whatever and has a vision like
39:40
no and the logo must be the pool And I'm sure had one made by artisan for
39:46
like five million dollars I will say the Lamborghini logo itself is pretty
39:51
cool Like whoever designed it the story behind that would be Cool to like
39:55
investigate and whatever it is iconic.
39:57
There's nothing else like it out there.
39:59
It's pretty wild.
40:00
And it is true.
40:01
All the Lamborghinis are named either after bulls or bull fighters.
40:05
So it's kind of neat.
40:07
You know, when you look at at least that part of the story, except for
40:10
the very first Lamborghini, which.
40:12
It's just a number.
40:13
Yeah.
40:13
The L three 50 GT or whatever.
40:16
Yeah.
40:16
Exactly.
40:17
Yeah.
40:17
So we get the, uh, creation of this little montage where, uh, it was a fall of 63.
40:22
And he's got all the people from Ferrari and Maserati and Alfa
40:26
Romeo all coming together, working together, trying to brainstorm.
40:29
All right, we got to do this, but we got to make the engine lighter.
40:32
Well, what if we made it out of aluminum?
40:34
You can't use aluminum.
40:35
It melts too easy.
40:36
And like, well, maybe we can put the things around me.
40:39
Oh, they're brainstorming.
40:40
It's like half the way.
40:41
And so like, I was like, oh yeah, we're going to debut
40:44
this at the Geneva car show.
40:46
So that scene was actually pretty cool.
40:49
I don't know if you noticed, they did that kind of stop and they added
40:52
the captions to point out the three engineers that had come from Alfa
40:56
Romeo, formerly Ferrari, whatever.
40:58
Scaglieri, Bizzarini, and Dallara, right?
41:01
Those are three big names in the Italian automotive industry.
41:04
Dallara is still around, obviously.
41:06
Bizzarini left, and he went and created his own car, which is very similar
41:10
to the second car the Lamborghini built, all this kind of stuff.
41:13
Obviously, he had inside baseball on what they were developing and whatnot.
41:17
So I really liked that part.
41:19
I like the fact that they included them and they.
41:22
knowledge them.
41:22
I know Tanya has a sweet spot for Dallara, but I thought that was pretty cool
41:26
that you had those three people kind of singled out in that particular scene.
41:31
During the spontage, they like mentioned the headlights flipping up and he's
41:34
like, no, no, no, not this time.
41:35
Save it for the sequel.
41:36
You know, like basically like save it for the second one.
41:39
We got to do this in six months for this Geneva show, which again, it's like
41:43
major time crunch for staking your very profitable tractor business on making a
41:48
car just because Enzo Ferrari was like.
41:51
Yeah.
41:51
Go back to your tractors farmer.
41:53
Yeah.
41:53
And then we took it a bridge too far and we started talking about
41:56
side mounting carburetors and all this stuff that completely lost
42:00
anybody that wasn't into cars.
42:02
I mean, Dan, come on.
42:02
I mean, even for us, we're like, seriously.
42:05
Was it truly that detrimental to the storyline?
42:07
It was like filler is what it was.
42:09
Thousand percent.
42:10
I was curious about it.
42:11
I was like, how much of that legitimately done on that car?
42:14
Yeah.
42:14
Cause I'm not familiar with.
42:16
Italian cars and I was like, okay, is this something they actually did on that car?
42:18
Was it something new at that time?
42:20
I didn't know, but I know I was cringing in the back of my mind,
42:23
thinking of like the Transformer movies where what's your name?
42:26
Looks Megan Fox under the hood.
42:28
And she's like, Oh yeah, your carburetors.
42:30
That's a fuel injected engine.
42:31
There is no car wear.
42:32
Yeah.
42:33
A thousand percent.
42:34
You ask my wife anything about transformers.
42:37
That's the first thing she'll bring up about any of them is like, Oh God.
42:40
And that first one, Megan Fox looks under the hood and it's so full of shit.
42:43
She doesn't even know what she's looking at.
42:45
Exactly.
42:45
And I'm like, Oh yeah.
42:46
Was she talking?
42:47
Who knows?
42:49
I'm sure I'll be run up on a pike for saying this, but classic car world.
42:54
Everybody has their opinions.
42:55
I personally do not like the 350 GT.
42:58
I think it's ugly.
42:59
I don't like the headlights.
43:00
I don't like its shape.
43:01
I don't think it's a beautiful car at all.
43:04
You'd have to convince me.
43:05
You don't get to ride in mine.
43:06
So what you're saying is you needed the pop up headlights for it to be cool.
43:09
It's so iconically Lamborghini to have pop up headlights.
43:13
He's got pop up headlights on his Datsun.
43:15
What are you talking about?
43:16
I don't know.
43:17
For me, it's not my cup of tea.
43:19
And I'm not saying I'm biased towards something else.
43:21
I look at the later Lamborghinis and we're going to get to one of
43:25
the most iconic Lamborghinis, but.
43:26
If you put this picture in front of anybody and took the emblem off of it
43:29
and said, who do you think made this car?
43:31
You wouldn't say Lamborghini when you look at it.
43:33
No, no.
43:34
Not at all.
43:34
No, not even close.
43:35
Like, I have a very specific Lamborghini in mind when I hear Lamborghini
43:39
and it's the one that was on.
43:41
Every teenager's wall in the seventies, eighties, nineties, thousands.
43:45
Yeah.
43:46
The Countach.
43:47
That's right.
43:49
It's the one in all the rap videos.
43:50
That ain't that car.
43:51
David Hasselhoff, Kong Fury, true survivor.
43:54
Exactly.
43:56
It is the ultimate music video car.
43:58
I have said, it doesn't matter what music you put to the Countach.
44:01
It works.
44:02
Period.
44:04
Well, I'm going in the bridge and see my sister.
44:06
Yeah, it works there too.
44:08
I mean, come on.
44:09
But the blue car in the Enzo versus Lamborghini race is a Countach.
44:13
Yeah.
44:14
And I'll get into the Ferrari they used for this.
44:16
Cause at first I thought it was one and it's actually something else,
44:18
but we'll get into that later.
44:21
So there's family drama, too, because we get a nice little scene
44:23
where he's, I guess, having dinner with his wife, Mira Sorvino.
44:26
Which was not the name of his second or third wife.
44:30
He had three wives?
44:31
Apparently he had three wives.
44:32
He had a second kid.
44:34
Whoa!
44:35
What?
44:36
Yes, he had a daughter.
44:38
Oh, nobody cares about women.
44:39
These writers.
44:40
Chat GPT only goes to 2021.
44:43
It doesn't know these things.
44:45
A lady guinea.
44:46
No, no, no.
44:47
Not in my story.
44:48
A lady guinea.
44:49
I like that.
44:50
But yeah, so they're fighting.
44:52
Falling like a crab on the floor of the ocean.
44:54
I married someone who could talk.
44:58
Not only yet for that, I have bread and I have a lot, I don't even know
45:01
what they were fighting about other than like, oh, you need to spend
45:03
more time and blah, blah, blah.
45:05
But she's just chucking, forgets it like over and over again.
45:09
Pelting him with it.
45:10
And I like how he just like grabs one off the table.
45:12
I was like, all right.
45:14
It was like the reverse of that Seinfeld episode.
45:17
Right?
45:17
I have bread for you, . Oh, and I fired the blonde.
45:20
You're fucking . Oh yeah.
45:21
Right.
45:22
I'm like, oh my God.
45:23
Uh, yeah.
45:25
In the background, they have these shelves that have, like, uh, you
45:28
know, show they're rich or whatever.
45:30
I swear to God, it's those plastic shelves you get at Costco that you
45:33
put in your garage just painted white.
45:35
And they have his and her wine decanters, and I'm like, that's
45:38
how you know you're living.
45:39
There's a little bit of drama with the one designer when he's like, uh,
45:42
talking about the flip up headlights.
45:44
He's like, yeah, your design, it's, uh, it's a kind of shit.
45:46
All I'm asking is for you to start over and do it again, that's all.
45:49
That's all.
45:50
You're the best designer.
45:52
Just start from the beginning and do it again.
45:54
And then yeah, the whole thing about the carburetor being too high, they will
45:57
like tip it to the side and Bob wants to test drive it, but who gives a shit?
46:02
So now it's like Christmas.
46:04
We gotta get to Christmas because he has like a reporter come and like interview
46:08
him on Christmas Eve and of course the wife's like why what the hell are
46:11
you doing this blah blah blah and it's like it's a special it's that one thing
46:14
you never forget it's like losing your virginity or you know shit like that like
46:19
to a reporter and I'm like they can't put that on there well it is Italy I'm sure
46:22
the reporter could take her top off if they really wanted to and be like yeah
46:26
there's a rainstorm coming into Umbria region you've seen the game shows then
46:29
you you got it all figured out yeah.
46:32
I watched the Senna documentary, like, you know.
46:36
With Zsuzsa.
46:37
Zsuzsa, oh god.
46:38
So, okay, that's, in my opinion, the most memorable part of that
46:42
whole thing is when he's on Zsuzsa.
46:44
And, uh, he's like, What is it you want for Christmas?
46:47
And he's like, I have a fave I can't tell you on the kids show.
46:49
And like, whispers in her ear.
46:51
You can basically see the flood watch below her like, oh yeah, . We were
46:58
talking about how like there was some, like the family drama and stuff and
47:00
one thing that stuck out to me at one point was where he was with his son and
47:05
'cause his son was like failing classes or something and yeah, he's like, yeah,
47:09
bought this for you because you found, and then he made a comment at the
47:12
end of the conversation with his son.
47:13
He is like, yeah, if you keep doing this, I'll get you something else.
47:15
And it's like, why are you your child for doing bad?
47:19
You know, that's just setting them up for failure.
47:20
He said, if you don't improve your grades, I'll get you a Ferrari.
47:24
And I'm like, wait, so is the Ferrari the punishment?
47:27
Cause Lamborghini car isn't a thing.
47:29
And like, I thought it was like a dig of like, I'll get you a piece
47:32
of shit Ferrari or something.
47:33
But it's like, no, wait, he's still working on that first car.
47:36
Like what?
47:37
All messed up.
47:39
Is this supposed to be later in the movie?
47:40
Like, I don't know.
47:42
So are we at the concert at Christmas time?
47:45
Are we there yet?
47:46
Uh, okay, we're, yeah, it's, uh, Valentine's Day, where it
47:48
was the concert, and I swear to God, it was Yanni up on stage.
47:52
Dude, so, Tanya had to look this up.
47:55
Because we were like, is this guy made up?
47:56
Is he, like, some Burt Bacharach wannabe?
47:59
It just sounded fake, it seemed fake, but to her credit, he is legitimate.
48:03
And he's still alive at 84 years old, I believe you said.
48:07
84 years young.
48:07
But yes, Tony Rennes, was that his name?
48:10
Yeah, Rennes.
48:11
Yeah, he is still alive.
48:12
His real name is Elio Cesari, but I don't know why he would go by Tony Rennes.
48:18
Too many syllables.
48:21
Sounds weird.
48:21
Rhymes with something else.
48:23
But, that said, did you notice as they panned around, they
48:27
showed him more than once.
48:28
Cause we were laughing about this.
48:29
There's a dude, he looks like Fabio's dad.
48:32
Yeah, that's the guy, I think it's Yanni.
48:35
Like, cause Yanni like looks like that when he's on tour and stuff like that.
48:38
Like it's Full blown, like, I swear it's a wig, but it's like the Sam
48:42
Elliott beard, like, kind of thing.
48:44
I was like, who is this guy?
48:46
Like, why do we go back to him several times?
48:49
Yeah, it's like a three minute music video for the worst lip syncing I've
48:53
ever seen in my fucking life with the, like, 20 year old kid that's,
48:56
like, supposed to be singing the song.
48:58
Like, it is rough.
48:59
Yeah, I mean, there's so many pieces of this movie you could have deleted.
49:03
You probably wouldn't be left with the movie.
49:06
It could have been like a seven minute short instead of a 95 minute movie.
49:09
It would have been better as like a John Woo film.
49:12
Like he did back in the 2000s for BMW.
49:14
Like just show the race scene and polish it up and move on.
49:17
Lamborghini.
49:18
He's sitting there.
49:19
We just see him at like a dinner table by himself and scribbling on
49:22
a napkin, like designing the car.
49:24
Some hot shit comes over and starts talking to him.
49:27
And he's like, Oh, look, I put eyelashes on the car.
49:29
So it's beautiful.
49:30
Like you.
49:31
And, and of course that's when this wife and the son arrive at the restaurant and
49:35
see he's flashing a napkin at the lady.
49:37
And of course the wife's like, what was the kid's name?
49:39
Tonino go wait outside, go wait outside, go wait outside.
49:42
I'm going to.
49:42
Fucking kill your father, you know, that kind of thing the whole falling out and
49:45
she's like, I don't hate you I feel sorry for you and like we're getting divorced
49:50
and he's like, well, what about Tonino and that I think she's like What about Tonino?
49:54
Right?
49:54
Are you suggesting that you're going to have the son?
49:57
You barely talked to away from the mother who has raised him Is that what you're
50:02
suggesting for Ruchiyo and he's kind of like, all right, good fucking point Yeah.
50:07
Get that sack of potatoes out of here.
50:09
Right.
50:09
I mean, it's like, dude, what a jerk.
50:11
Wait off my neck.
50:12
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
50:14
Exactly.
50:14
So yeah, the car he's sketching on the napkin is what becomes the Mura and one
50:20
of the most iconic cars of all times.
50:22
It actually set the stage for supercars in general.
50:24
It is like the original, it is the Genesis of supercars as we know them today.
50:28
If you fact check Ferruccio Lamborghini didn't design the Miura.
50:32
It was designed By those other three guys earlier.
50:37
I think that's the theme of this movie.
50:39
He drew some shit on a napkin Those guys designed cars But he's lamborghini
50:45
He's the man behind the legend and the man behind the legend is just
50:50
kind of a fucking prick, right?
50:52
That's the point of this movie, right?
50:54
I, that's the, what I took away from it.
50:57
I mean, it's Elon Musk before Elon Musk, kind of, right?
51:00
Like Musk didn't design any of that shit, but guess what?
51:03
He got fucking rich off it.
51:04
And he's taking credit for it too, right?
51:06
So yeah, he's the financial backing.
51:08
He's the emblem.
51:09
He's the name.
51:10
Unlike Ferrari and Porsche, which most people do recognize today
51:14
are both engineering firms, right?
51:16
And they always have been.
51:17
So it's like a whole different, you know, style.
51:19
I feel like it's sizzle over steak in a lot of ways.
51:22
Now, granted.
51:23
Lamborghini later, not Lamborghini, the man, the company developed a lot of
51:28
really cool stuff, some trend setting cars and always kind of breaking the mold.
51:33
But at this point, he's the new kid on the block.
51:35
Literally Lamborghini is still one of the newest.
51:39
Italian car manufacturers, because everybody else had started in the
51:42
early 1900s, be it Fiat, be it Alfa Romeo, Ferrari was the new kid
51:47
because he was post war and then, you know, Lamborghini comes along.
51:50
So yeah, that brings us to Geneva, 1963 ish.
51:54
I'm not sure.
51:55
64 yeah.
51:57
And yeah.
51:57
So he's unveiling his new car.
51:59
I mean, the Muro was built in 1967.
52:02
So again, we're wrong on the timeline.
52:03
Yeah.
52:04
Where are we?
52:04
Well, I'll say, but it's not the mirror that was being released though.
52:07
Wasn't it?
52:07
It was the three 50 GT.
52:09
Yes, correct.
52:10
I was still on the napkins.
52:11
Sorry.
52:12
Yeah.
52:13
Either way.
52:13
Ferruccio Lamborghini is actually like the 14th time Lord from
52:19
It doesn't matter at all.
52:22
Again, he's like, I gotta go back and make things right.
52:24
Oh shit, my wife still died.
52:26
Picture it, Geneva, 1964, question mark?
52:30
Sounds good.
52:31
Said Estelle Getty.
52:32
He's unveiling his car, but he decides he's gonna draw a little sketch
52:35
and have a hot model chick hand it off to Enzo Ferrari right before.
52:39
Who wants to take this part?
52:41
Describe this part.
52:42
Dan should, I think it was a very agricultural description
52:45
of the relationship between Ferrari and Lamborghini.
52:47
Wouldn't you say?
52:48
Wasn't it the bull like mounting the car?
52:50
Yeah.
52:50
A hundred percent.
52:51
Yeah.
52:51
The bull mounting the horse.
52:53
Yeah.
52:53
Yeah.
52:53
Yeah.
52:54
A horse.
52:54
Yeah.
52:55
The Ferrari logo basically being raped by a bull.
52:58
SNL celebrity Jeopardy moment.
53:00
This is what I expected between Sean Connery and Alex Trebek.
53:05
That was a serious suck it Trebek moment.
53:07
That's right.
53:09
And then, yeah, we cut back to 92.
53:11
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
53:13
The best quote of the movie comes out at this point.
53:15
Right after he's given the car and all this kind of thing.
53:17
They unveil the 350 GT and, you know, they have the woman reporter there.
53:22
And she's talking and, you know, Ferruccio, what do you think?
53:25
What do you say?
53:26
And he goes.
53:26
To drive a Lamborghini, to own a Lamborghini, you must not be shy.
53:30
Mr.
53:31
Lamborghini, I know there are many questions about what's under the hood of
53:34
this car, but my first question is, what is the price tag of the Lamborghini GT?
53:38
What is the price of a beautiful woman?
53:40
A great bottle of wine, a pasta you remember the rest of your life.
53:43
These things are worth whatever they ask you to pay.
53:46
You buy a Ferrari when you want to be someone.
53:48
You buy a Lamborghini when you are someone.
53:51
And I was like, yeah, all right!
53:52
And then he drops the mic, uh, whips his dick out, waves at Anzo a little bit.
53:58
It was a very hard R moment.
54:00
This movie was rated R.
54:02
Oh shit, it was, yeah, yeah.
54:03
Oh no shit, there was a blood scene of like, whatever in the first 20 minutes.
54:09
Okay, so a couple F words and I don't know, one scene from The Shining.
54:14
That hardly makes an R movie.
54:16
PG 13 for sure.
54:18
That scene was no PG 13.
54:20
When the baby comes out of the elevator doors and We're back to 1992.
54:27
For chapter three, Le Fin.
54:29
Again, remember 1992, Ferruccio Lamborghini dies in 1993.
54:34
Yeah.
54:34
He's on death's door.
54:35
Right.
54:35
He's like 80 some years old.
54:37
Fine.
54:37
Whatever.
54:38
Enzo's already dead.
54:40
Keep that in mind.
54:41
In 1988, he died after the F40 came out.
54:44
What kills me about this is.
54:46
The two cars that they use in the race.
54:49
So he's got a Countach, the blue car and the red Ferrari, which at
54:52
first I was like, Oh, because certain angles and I mistook the hood, I
54:56
thought it was a 308 GT four, which is the predecessor to the car.
55:01
They actually used in the movie, which is one of the ugliest worst
55:05
Ferraris like of all time, in my opinion, which is the Mondial coupe.
55:08
It is a pathetic 2.
55:10
9 liter, barely makes over 200 horsepower V8, and then you
55:14
have this 12 cylinder Countach.
55:16
Again, we have a dead man in one car.
55:20
Another one that's on death's door.
55:22
Ghost race.
55:23
Well, I just have to say the whole time continuum through it, from the first time
55:26
you see Enzo at the race in the little town to this point when he's in the.
55:30
Car.
55:30
He never ate it.
55:32
Nope.
55:32
Not at all.
55:33
Nah.
55:33
What the hell?
55:34
And even if this didn't take place in 1992, it took place earlier.
55:37
The cars are all wrong.
55:39
It's just all wrong, right?
55:41
Not only that, I was like, 1992, the Diablo was already out.
55:45
Yeah.
55:46
So if anything, they should have replaced the Countach with that.
55:50
They probably couldn't get one on loan.
55:51
Fine.
55:52
Whatever.
55:53
What a freaking mess.
55:54
Unions going on strike.
55:55
Oils went up like four times overnight, you know, because of
55:59
Desert Storm and stuff, right?
56:01
What's Ferruccio up to?
56:02
He's selling the company, giving half to his son and half to his brothers.
56:06
Remember he had brothers 50 years ago.
56:08
He's like, Hey, so we can keep the Lamborghini name.
56:12
You guys can split it amongst yourselves and your families go for it.
56:15
And then he's having dinner with this son and they are
56:17
just eating carrots and bread.
56:19
You notice that too?
56:21
Yeah.
56:21
Yeah.
56:21
Oh, I didn't notice it.
56:22
Izzy noticed it and she's like, are they only eating carrots?
56:26
And we like when it shows the whole table and there's like five platters
56:30
of sliced buttered carrots This is when the first menu came out.
56:35
Well, at least the bread was consistent I mean we started that way early on he's
56:39
got to have that bread with dinner because you know He was chucked at his head all
56:42
the time So he's telling us i'm like, hey, you're gonna get half the company and
56:45
uh, the son's like was it worth it papa?
56:47
Wait, what are we having different conversations right now?
56:49
It's like, and then yeah, this is where we like go back to that race and find out
56:52
it was all a dream and blah, blah, blah.
56:55
And I'm going to throw this out there.
56:56
So nothing happened between 1964 and 1992.
56:59
Right.
57:00
Of interest.
57:01
Except for the birth of one of the second most iconic cars
57:04
of all time, the Countach.
57:06
Right.
57:06
I mean, come on.
57:07
So yeah, basically the Geneva thing where you drew the picture and Mike
57:11
drop cut to he died 30 years later.
57:14
That's it.
57:14
They teased that he was going up against Ferrari.
57:17
Nothing happened after that though.
57:19
Ferrari was just kind of like, whatever, do your thing.
57:21
I'll do mine.
57:21
We'll both get rich.
57:22
Cool.
57:23
Yeah.
57:23
Nobody knows.
57:24
Right.
57:24
And that's just it.
57:25
There's, there's so many holes in that story because Lamborghini
57:28
didn't really go into racing.
57:30
Not until the modern times because they're backed by Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi.
57:34
So it's a whole different thing.
57:36
So Ferrari was always about racing.
57:38
It was always formula one.
57:40
And you know, you know, the stories like.
57:41
You know, Ford, V Ferrari, Le Mans rush, which is the, you know, the James Hunt,
57:45
Niki Lauda story involves a Ferrari.
57:47
There's always a Ferrari involved.
57:48
You don't see Lamborghini out there, right?
57:50
Because they were building these high class sports cars.
57:53
Let's call them that, but they sort of only built one model at a time.
57:57
You know what I mean?
57:58
So they were all these evolutions.
57:59
So when they stopped producing the Miura.
58:01
Then Diablo or something.
58:03
Well, then the Jalpa came along and then the Countach came along and it's
58:06
like, they would have these little runs and then they would sunset
58:08
a car and then start another one.
58:09
Because really as an outfit, they were never as big as Alfa Romeo or Fiat,
58:16
which backed Ferrari and those groups.
58:18
So they were a boutique manufacturer, right?
58:20
They could only build basically one car at a time.
58:22
Then he steps outside.
58:23
He's, of course, the family vineyard there in, uh, Cento in Italy,
58:28
rubbing his hands in the dirt.
58:30
And then he just looking at pictures of earlier in the
58:32
movie and some random sketches.
58:35
So what got me about that scene is if you spent any time watching Picard,
58:41
I was like, did they lift this?
58:42
It's really Patrick Stewart's hands touching the dirt on.
58:46
You know, Chateau Picard or whatever.
58:48
I'm like, this is such a rip off of stuff we've already seen.
58:51
It's lit exactly the same way, like lens flares, but also like dark filter, like
58:56
very lush every scene of the vineyard.
58:59
Yeah.
58:59
I was thinking of Picard.
59:00
I was waiting for him to pop around the corner.
59:02
There's a Romulan in the background somewhere.
59:04
Riker pops out of nowhere.
59:07
Like, hello, captain.
59:09
Hello, number one.
59:10
So they're seeing, uh, publicity steals from earlier in the movie.
59:13
Hobson is a Lamborghini Mira.
59:15
Starts thinking about his first wife and taking the loan out and
59:19
Mateo and all the other bullshit we already forgot about long ago because
59:24
he forgot long ago because it's 60 years ago and it's like, oh yeah,
59:27
thinking about him for the first time.
59:29
We get a little thing that pops up saying like, oh yeah, the Oh, it's the MoMA.
59:32
It was the Museum of Modern Art.
59:33
Said the Mira is the most beautiful car in the world.
59:37
Yeah, right.
59:39
Beautiful car.
59:40
I think we can all agree.
59:41
The Miura is up there with the Jaguar E type and a bunch of the
59:45
old Ferraris and stuff like that.
59:46
It's a gorgeous car.
59:47
There's no contesting that.
59:49
But I took issue with the scene.
59:51
The sound was wrong.
59:52
I mean, that's a V12.
59:54
It's a screamer.
59:55
It has a very unique sound because of the way that car is
59:57
built and all that kind of stuff.
59:58
And if you ever want to hear one, the sound is actually more right because
1:00:03
there's a very similar scene to the scene we saw in this movie at the
1:00:06
beginning of the original Italian job.
1:00:08
So they tried to sort of play off that where the guys slow roll in
1:00:12
the mirror through the country, you know, mountain road there.
1:00:15
And I saw that and I was like, man.
1:00:17
When does Michael Caine step out in a truck and try to
1:00:20
steal the car or something?
1:00:21
Like it was a good sort of ending, but I felt like I'd seen it before, but then
1:00:26
the audio was wrong and it didn't help that car in any way to really kind of
1:00:30
give it that ferocity that a Lamborghini has, because even the Countach is quite.
1:00:35
Trill and it gets under your skin and it would have been cool, but I figured they
1:00:39
were probably dragging that car with piano wire at like five miles an hour because
1:00:44
it barely looked like he was moving.
1:00:45
Yeah.
1:00:46
And if it was a real Mura, I mean, that's a seven figure car easily.
1:00:50
I mean, good on them.
1:00:51
Right.
1:00:51
Unless it's a kick car on Dan's list.
1:00:54
Oh, it's all CGI.
1:00:55
Yeah.
1:00:57
And a big thing about it is like, you guys were saying like the ending
1:00:59
where he just starts driving off.
1:01:00
It's like when I was watching this movie, when it comes to the end.
1:01:03
That's all?
1:01:04
It just like, comes to an end and you're like, what the hell, it's like,
1:01:07
you're left with so many more questions than you started with in my opinion.
1:01:09
Yeah, it's like, so, wait, what?
1:01:11
That's it?
1:01:12
That's where we're going to leave off in 1992?
1:01:14
Um, Death Star, damn.
1:01:16
So, roll credits, I think we got Eric's review, the sounds were
1:01:19
all wrong, that's his only note.
1:01:21
Oh yeah, that's my only note.
1:01:24
So why don't you hit us with some stats, what did the critics think of this
1:01:29
stellar Oh, right before we get into that, would you guys recommend this movie?
1:01:33
No, no, I would recommend a refund everybody shaking their
1:01:36
head and or leaving the chat.
1:01:38
So yeah, I'm going to take that as a no, I would have on the fence
1:01:41
about it because here's the thing.
1:01:43
How many times did you watch it?
1:01:44
That's the bigger question.
1:01:46
Oh yeah.
1:01:47
Here's the thing.
1:01:47
Knowing this information now.
1:01:49
I would have never watched it to begin with, but going into it blind
1:01:52
and ignorantly, it was entertaining.
1:01:54
It was telling a story, even though the story was apparently,
1:01:57
this guy's an asshole.
1:01:59
That stuck out more than anything.
1:02:00
I was like, this guy is such a freaking tool.
1:02:02
If you want to watch a movie like this, but it's actually
1:02:05
done well, there will be blood.
1:02:07
That's how you do it.
1:02:08
And that's probably more based in reality, too.
1:02:11
It's the thing, like they actually use.
1:02:14
I don't know, dates and facts and figures and it's holding a nice operatic matter.
1:02:18
This one's kind of messy.
1:02:19
Yeah, I can't recommend it.
1:02:21
What do you guys think the Rotten Tomatoes score on this one is from the critics?
1:02:24
I mean, if it's single digits, it's a lot.
1:02:26
27%.
1:02:28
It's low is all I can imagine.
1:02:30
Tanya, you won 7%.
1:02:32
One positive review out of 15 from top critics.
1:02:37
Wow.
1:02:38
But, as we say on our show, nobody gives a Fuck about the critics.
1:02:41
What about that audience score?
1:02:43
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
1:02:44
Did anybody actually watch it other than the critics and us?
1:02:47
I think there was like a hundred or so reviews or something on there.
1:02:50
That's more than I would have expected.
1:02:52
This can go two ways.
1:02:54
Yep.
1:02:54
There's the crowd of people that watched it.
1:02:56
They would know nothing about it and probably would give it a mediocre score.
1:03:01
Then there's the people that would watch it and knew a little bit.
1:03:05
And then there's the third option, which is when I sit down with people at a
1:03:10
bar and they say, oh, you're a car guy.
1:03:12
You know, I saw that Lamborghini movie, blah, blah, blah, blah,
1:03:14
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and I'm like, it's all crap.
1:03:17
And they're like, what do you mean?
1:03:17
It's all crap.
1:03:18
I was like, did you see the disclaimer at the end?
1:03:20
Well, yeah, that's that first group of people that they're
1:03:22
all going to believe it.
1:03:23
And that's the travesty.
1:03:25
Exactly.
1:03:25
It's terrible.
1:03:26
What's that number then?
1:03:27
It's gotta be less than 10%.
1:03:29
I'll be optimistic and say 20.
1:03:31
12.
1:03:32
Anne's closest 25 with the audience.
1:03:34
Wow.
1:03:36
Not good with the audience score.
1:03:37
It's tough to get into single digits.
1:03:39
Like we've only done maybe three movies on our podcast that specializes in bad
1:03:44
movies that have been in single digits.
1:03:46
Wow.
1:03:46
I think the lowest I saw was we watched was 3%.
1:03:52
To its credit, there isn't a lot.
1:03:54
of information on the Lamborghini story.
1:03:57
It's not like you can go to autobiography on Motor Trend or go to Seduced
1:04:03
by Speed or any of those types of mockumentary type of things that
1:04:06
they've put together, even on the noted automobile channels and stuff.
1:04:11
So it's sort of like Lamborghini's been untouched for so long.
1:04:15
It's like stories handed down from his family, basically, or, you know, like
1:04:19
news clippings, but it's Basically them blowing Lamborghini, like, Oh
1:04:23
my God, the greatest, most beautiful cars ever all Italian treasure.
1:04:27
So let's see, maybe this is the attempt to fire a shot across the bow.
1:04:32
Lamborghini is now owned by Volkswagen Audi group, right?
1:04:35
So maybe to get their attention and say.
1:04:37
You need to do something to fix this.
1:04:39
We need to write a wrong here and produce a real film.
1:04:42
Because again, there's plenty of documented movies and other things
1:04:47
about the Ferrari story, about the Porsche story, et cetera.
1:04:50
But Lamborghini just seems to always be off to the side.
1:04:53
And I don't want to say forgotten because they're realistically iconic.
1:04:57
It's good that somebody went out on a limb and did something, but to Tanya's point,
1:05:02
if you had just followed the Wikipedia, you would have had a much better film.
1:05:08
I mean, there's still people alive that were intimately involved with
1:05:10
the beginnings of Lamborghini, so they must know how he was,
1:05:15
who he was, and what went down.
1:05:17
I mean, Dallara, as an example, is still with us.
1:05:20
So who's the other guy you mentioned?
1:05:21
Bazzini, Bazzini, Bazzini, he's still alive too.
1:05:25
I think what we need to have done is the, like the two engineers that were
1:05:28
involved with the beginning stuff.
1:05:30
We need to have like reaction video of them watching this.
1:05:33
Yeah.
1:05:33
Yeah.
1:05:34
That would be perfect.
1:05:35
That sounds interesting.
1:05:36
Maybe we'll get in the sequel.
1:05:37
No, we probably won't because I think 1.
1:05:41
6 million worldwide gross.
1:05:43
I don't know where that would have come from.
1:05:46
But 6 at a time, people watching it on Amazon or Vudu or whatever.
1:05:52
What?
1:05:52
It really grossed that much.
1:05:54
That's surprising.
1:05:55
Yeah.
1:05:55
Yeah.
1:05:55
That was kind of surprising to me too.
1:05:56
So maybe it was like released in Italy.
1:05:58
That's, Oh, so many angry Italians with pitchforks over there.
1:06:02
Like, no, it's a bullshit.
1:06:04
Yeah.
1:06:05
A thousand percent.
1:06:06
As I mentioned, there was one lone positive review of this movie.
1:06:09
Would you guys be interested in hearing it?
1:06:10
Yes, please.
1:06:11
It comes from Eddie Harrison of film authority.
1:06:14
com.
1:06:14
A stripped down but appropriately stylish and personal tribute to a man whose
1:06:18
passion for cars changed the way we drive.
1:06:21
Three out of five.
1:06:22
That's the one positive review of this movie, and it's still like, it's okay.
1:06:27
Yeah, the middle of the road is the best, that's sad.
1:06:29
Top critic Robert Abel of The Wrap said, Pamphletized biopic that
1:06:33
does the easy thing, beautifying Italy and vintage automobiles.
1:06:37
but stalls with everything involving humans.
1:06:40
And top critic Mortada Alfaro of the AV Club, fortunately the movie is only
1:06:45
97 minutes long, but even this grace note comes at a cost to the viewer.
1:06:49
The end of the story comes out of nowhere as if the filmmakers ran
1:06:52
out of money and stopped shooting before they were really done.
1:06:55
D.
1:06:55
So Tanya did say that when we were watching the film, because at one point we
1:06:59
paused because it was, you know, building up to Geneva and we're like, wow, this is
1:07:03
going to take a while if the end goal here is to get to 92, like we got a ways to go.
1:07:07
So for whatever reason, you know, maybe it was get a snack or a bottle of water.
1:07:11
It was like pause.
1:07:12
And then we're like.
1:07:13
Dang, we're 80 percent of the way through the movie like
1:07:16
this thing's almost over here.
1:07:18
Here's the thing.
1:07:19
Geneva should have been like the second act, like the rise
1:07:23
to glory and blah, blah, blah.
1:07:25
And then, you know, the fall or, you know, at least the battle
1:07:28
with Ferrari coming after them.
1:07:30
And there's low points and actual character growth and blah, blah, blah.
1:07:33
Nope.
1:07:33
We just cut to 30 years later when he died.
1:07:35
So bizarre.
1:07:36
Chapter three was more like the thank you note at the end of a book.
1:07:40
Flatline.
1:07:40
Thanks for reading.
1:07:42
Yeah, a hundred percent.
1:07:42
By Lamborghini, you know, exactly, exactly.
1:07:45
But we got some more of that awesome race and, you know, him pushing model cars on
1:07:49
his desk, which didn't understand that either, the imagery there, the metaphor.
1:07:55
But guys, do you know who was originally cast to be in this movie?
1:07:58
Oh, this ought to be good.
1:08:00
As Ferruccio?
1:08:01
Both.
1:08:01
As Ferruccio Lamborghini, it was going to be played by Antonio Banderas.
1:08:06
All right.
1:08:09
Cool.
1:08:09
I mean, Frank Grillo, let's go with that.
1:08:12
In the role of Enzo Ferrari.
1:08:15
Alec Baldwin.
1:08:16
No.
1:08:17
Yeah.
1:08:19
Keep in mind.
1:08:19
This was more than a year ago when they were shooting us.
1:08:24
He wasn't making Westerns and you know, whatever.
1:08:27
That would have turned out like framing John DeLorean.
1:08:30
I mean, can you imagine?
1:08:31
Yeah.
1:08:31
He would have reprised the role of El General from 30 Rock.
1:08:39
All right.
1:08:39
Well, all right.
1:08:40
If you guys were Casting a real Lamborghini movie, who would you
1:08:44
have as Lamborghini and Enzo Ferrari?
1:08:46
I don't know, based on this picture of Ferruccio, Alec Baldwin with
1:08:50
dyed black hair actually might have been a better Lamborghini.
1:08:55
I would go with Wayne Newton for Ferruccio because they got
1:08:58
the same style in the hair.
1:09:00
He still spray paints his hair black.
1:09:02
And I think for Ferrari I would have pulled the dude from Ford
1:09:05
versus Ferrari because nobody remembers who the hell he is.
1:09:07
His name is Remo.
1:09:08
Remo Girone, yeah.
1:09:10
Cause yeah, I remember him being really good.
1:09:12
What was the Timothy Dalton movie where Wayne Newton was the bad guy?
1:09:15
Licensed to Kill.
1:09:16
Yeah, yeah, see?
1:09:17
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:09:18
It's a great flick.
1:09:19
White suit and the pompadour, I'm telling you.
1:09:21
Wayne's too old and had too many plastic surgeries.
1:09:24
I feel like they could have cast anybody in this movie.
1:09:27
They're the whole country of Italians.
1:09:29
Just saying.
1:09:30
Yeah.
1:09:30
Yeah.
1:09:31
Roberto Benigni as Enzo Ferrari.
1:09:33
Would have been more convincing.
1:09:35
I would have replaced Mia Sorvino too, because it was like, she just
1:09:39
felt out of place in this movie.
1:09:40
I absolutely agree.
1:09:41
She should be Marissa Tomei.
1:09:43
You know, that's a good call, actually.
1:09:47
They did a good job pairing the younger version of her.
1:09:50
With Mia Serena.
1:09:51
So whoever they found that actress who was a no name, basically, I was
1:09:55
like, okay, I can see the transition.
1:09:57
You aged her up gracefully.
1:09:59
It just didn't fit at the end of the day.
1:10:01
I was totally expecting Adrian Brody to come back later in
1:10:04
the movie as Mateo or whatever.
1:10:08
No, no, no.
1:10:09
That dude took his 25 percent and went away.
1:10:12
He's in Argentina or something, but I'm like, yeah, what happened to that guy?
1:10:15
Like, what's his story?
1:10:16
He probably never existed.
1:10:18
That is probably true too.
1:10:20
He probably represents like the other investor in Lamborghini,
1:10:24
whoever it may have been.
1:10:25
He represents the 25 percent of the audience that like this movie.
1:10:29
Yeah, Matteo loves this fucking movie.
1:10:31
That's basically it.
1:10:33
He's the only person in this movie that loved it.
1:10:35
Even the dad was kind of like, eh, two out of five.
1:10:38
Oh, and guys, we gotta find out because, I don't know if you know
1:10:40
this, we're on a podcast called Everything I Learned From Movies.
1:10:43
What did we learn from Lamborghini, the man behind the legend?
1:10:48
Well, I didn't learn anything.
1:10:49
What I learned was through Wikipedia that he had other children and grandchildren.
1:10:53
I also did not learn much, but a fact checking is important and you shouldn't
1:10:58
use chat GPT to write a screenplay.
1:11:00
I just got confused.
1:11:01
I didn't learn anything.
1:11:02
I just got confused.
1:11:03
What did you learn, Steve?
1:11:05
I learned that those Danish cookie tins have been around forever.
1:11:08
And they're like, they're basically the equivalent of like Mason jars
1:11:12
buried in the backyard in Italy.
1:11:15
Find those on Oak Island.
1:11:16
So do Native Americans use these for centuries before the light man came over,
1:11:24
like, how the fuck did they get them?
1:11:26
And there's still dance brand too.
1:11:28
There's only one manufacturer of those shortbread cookies.
1:11:33
Well, that being said, folks, if you enjoyed our review of this extremely
1:11:38
terrible movie, you can find a lot more of them with Steve and Izzy over
1:11:42
at Everything I Learned From Movies.
1:11:43
So, Steve, tell the audience how they can get a hold of you guys.
1:11:46
Oh, of course.
1:11:47
We're on all the major podcatchers under Everything I Learned From Movies.
1:11:50
Or you can hit us up directly on Twitter, Facebook, and Patreon at E I L F Movies.
1:11:54
That's Everything I Learned From Movies.
1:11:56
It's a little better when Izzy's here and we can harmonize when I say that.
1:12:00
For the next couple of months.
1:12:01
We just started here in February.
1:12:03
We're reviewing porns because we drew the theme of porn
1:12:07
month that was suggested to us.
1:12:08
Actually just today our episode for hot and saucy pizza girls just
1:12:11
dropped and man oh man was that fun.
1:12:13
So if you want to hear Izzy almost vomit in some scenes, listen to
1:12:16
those episodes or come back to our regularly scheduled bullshit when we
1:12:20
start Marky March talking about Mark Wahlberg movies and then April and May.
1:12:26
You guys may really be interested in May because we're talking stunt movies.
1:12:30
And so we're going to see a lot of fucking cars doing cool shit and blowing up.
1:12:33
Oh, that's time to invite us back.
1:12:35
That's right.
1:12:37
You know, what I'm happy though, is we found a new movie that
1:12:41
we could all review together.
1:12:44
It follows suit is terrible.
1:12:46
So this is great.
1:12:47
So now we get to look forward to whatever the next one is.
1:12:50
Absolutely.
