Le Mans. Steve McQueen. The last eight minutes. Flat out. Enjoy.

As a connoisseur of "Ultimate Testosterone", I thank you for bringing this film to my attention.

The movie was stupid but the scene with Bo Derek running down the beach in '10' was pretty awesome. But then that's another kind of testosterone.

G-Gnome, Bo Derek?
John Derek's fourth wife, Bo, along with his third wife, Linda Evans, are beautiful woman, but...
...his second wife was so much more...
...who can forget Ursula Andress emerging from the sea in Dr. No.

With that track record, makes you want to see the first wife...
apparently her name was Pati Behrs and she was the grandniece of Leo Tolstoy, She was born in 1922, was married to Derek from 1951 to 1957, and died in 2004.
Couldn't locate a pic...

Guy had a thing for high cheek bones, that's for sure.
Yeah Patrick, so much so that an ex re-enacted it in a lake @ great basin, attired like in the book though, not like in the movie

Bo Derek? Bo Derek??????
Go to "Le Mans" scene 11 and imagine the ultimate climbing challenge translated to four wheels at 200+ mph, with someone chasing you - flat out - and time running out.
Bo Derek ... cute ... but ... after a while ... boring. Jimmy Clark flat out at Nurburgring or a Ford GT-40 or a Mercedes 300SLR full bore at Le Mans? Never.
[re 300SLR: For the latter day yuppies who are profoundly self absorbed and even more ignorant (if such is possible), on a REAL Mercedes, the letters FOLLOW the number. The stuff they build today is trash. Looks like junk from Korea... Drives like it to... Sorry if I offended anyone. :) Sort of. :) ]
