FILM 1594: GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS
TRIVIA: Nicolas Cage
did most of his own stunt driving for the film. He attended the Bondurant
Driving School in Phoenix, Arizona, Willow Springs (another car driving
school), and the Bobby Ore Stunt Driving School in preparation for the film. He
liked the race car driving school so much that he continued to pursue it as a
hobby after shooting was completed.
When Mirror Man is talking to the clerk at the police impound yard, a
sign can be seen in the background that reads "If you leave your car
unlocked it will be Gone in 60
Seconds (1974)". This same sign was used in the original 1974
version of the movie.
Christopher Eccleston did
not actually have his drivers license during the shoot. He did not choose to
take the drivers test until several years after the film was released.
Christopher Eccleston
described this as a "terrible film in which I give a terrible
performance", adding that, before Doctor Who (2005), people
who recognised him mostly shouted "'You were in Gone in 60 Seconds, mate!
You were shit!' And I have to laugh at that, because I was!""
When Memphis first talks to Otto in his shop, there is a decal on the
window of a woodpecker. It is the same woodpecker that Nicolas Cage's has as a
tattoo in Raising Arizona
(1987).
