From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Getaway in Stockholm is a series of illegal street racing movies filmed using mainly car mounted cameras along with some cameramen alongside the route. The videos are all made in Stockholm, Sweden and were made famous all over the world through file-sharing and Internet messageboards.
- Getaway in Stockholm:1: Porsche 911
- Getaway in Stockholm 2: Toyota Supra and Ford Escort Cosworth
- Getaway in Stockholm 3: Honda NSX
- Getaway in Stockholm 4: Chevrolet Corvette
- Getaway in Stockholm 5: Mazda RX-7
- Getaway in Stockholm 6: Dodge Viper GTS and Porsche 911 GT3
- Getaway in Stockholm 7: BMW M3 E46 CSL (modified with the addition of a supercharger) and BMW M5 E39
The series was the main reason Stockholm was included in the video game Project Gotham Racing 2 and is mainly influenced by the legendary C'était un rendez-vous short film
A similar series of movies is the Ghost Rider series. The difference is that in those a motorcycle is used.
[edit] "Fake" Claim
In an interview with PB motorcycling magazine, Patrik Furstenhoff, Swedish Wheelie Team Member and widely accepted as the Ghost Rider himself, had this to say: "We saw a movie called 'Getaway in Stockholm', which is a car chase movie. But it's all made up. We couldn't believe the world was raving about it. The policeman was actually a body builder, he even had baggy pants on. It wasn't real. There's a hardcore group of riders and drivers in Stockholm who do this for real, but yet the "Getaway in Stockholm" movie was a rental car pretending to be a police car and it was all in the middle of the night with empty roads. You can print this; it was shit. And we made up the Ghostrider as a big 'you suck' to the car guys."
