Actually I posted this having seen Snow Patrol's "Open your eyes" video for the first time last week, and was convinced that it was filmed from a motorbike. The above video shows the famous film backwards. Looks like these jokers had a laugh making it.

Looking into it I found out that I was wrong. Although film shot from a car is not exactly KB-fodder, its shows an amazing bit of film (that I am still amazed was a car not a bike), apparently one that inspired Ghostrider etc.
Whilst I am not a fan of demonstrations of dangerous public riding (indeed, the director was arrested when the film was first shown) it is a unique single-take piece of film. And works beautifully for the soundtrack to the song.
The fim was oringinally entitled "C'était un rendez-vous" and filmed in Paris in 1976. Many of you probably know it well, although I couldn't find any reference to it by search.

The original was fimed from a Mercedes 450SEL 6.9 but the soundtrack badly dubbed over by a Ferrari engine & fake tyre noises.
