Ciao,
“Velocità massima” (2002) is a sort of “Fast & Furious” made in Italy. Its international title is “Maximum Velocity (V-Max)”. This is the link to its page in IMDb:
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0329731/
Many sport cars available in Italy can bee found in it, such as Lancia Delta Integrale and Ford Sierra Cosworth, sometimes engaged in street races. But even a small car like the Fiat Cinquecento has its significant part of glory.
In a legendary scene that lasts from 00:30:12 to 00:30:42, a black Fiat Cinquecento is the centre of attention, surrounded by the two main characters Stefano (Valerio Mastandrea) and Claudio (Cristiano Morroni) and by an aged guest of their machine-shop who needs a hard tuning of its small engine. According to the location (Ostia Lido, Rome), their dialogue has the characteristic accent of the Italian capital.
Guest: Ci ho pure n’Arfa e na Subaru, però questa me piace de più perché me ce ficco a tutti i buchi, capito… (I even got an Alfa and a Subaru, but I like this one better, I can stick it anywhere…)
Stefano: Certo. (Naturally.)
Guest: Ci ha solo un gran difetto: che nun cammina manco a carci, è un pormone… (It’s got one problem: it won’t crank even if I kick it…)
Stefano: Questa se può portà a ducentocinquanta cavalli… (We can boost it to 250 horsepower…)
Guest: Magari! (I wish!)
Stefano: … e a dueeventi di velocità. (… and 220 Km an hour.)
Guest: Capirai… chi m’aregge? (No shit!)
Stefano: Che dici, Clà? (What do you think?)
Claudio: Per me va bene, Stè… però va piombata. (Fine with me… but we gotta weigh it down.)
Stefano: Va piombata sì, sennò questa te s’arza come n’aquilone. (Or else it’ll fly away like a kite.)
Guest: E che problema c’è? La piombamo. (So what’s the prob, weigh it down.)
Stefano: Che fai, ce a lasci? (Can you leave it here?)
Cliente: Sì! (Yes!)
You should enclose this film in the IMCDb page of the Fiat Cinquecento: I think that this close-up role deserves at least 4 stars!
In the same movie, from 00:32:47 to 00:32:49 we can see another red Fiat Cinquecento moving quickly as a background vehicle (1 star).
Moreover, in “Velocità massima” there is an important role also for the other Italian Cento, the Fiat Seicento: I will describe it in another specific topic of this Forum.
Please, forgive the low quality of these screenshots, I caught them from the computer screen using a camera, because they cannot be saved directly from the DVD of the movie using Print Screen. I hope that you will be able to get better ones for IMCDb.
I suggest you to visit the topic “La Fiat Cinquecento nel film Velocità massima” in “Cinquecento Volte Passione, il Fiat Cinquecento Forum”, dedicated to the Fiat Cinquecento of the ‘90s:
http://freeforumzone.leonardo.it/discussione.aspx?c=44287&f=44287&idd=7168888
It contains a long discussion in Italian language, but we will be pleased to write in English for you. There is also the story of the real black Cinquecento which took part to “Velocità massima”.
