Almost everyone here knows more about films than I do, as the question I'm going to ask will show, but I've seen the 1967 (I believe it was) movie a few times and thought it was good, but does anyone know how they riddled the car with bullets back then? The bullets supposedly hitting the actors I get, but in slo-mo it looked to me that the holes the bullets supposedly made were going in, not bursting out. Split screen? Reversed the film? How was that achieved?

It could be that in certain shots the actors weren't near or in the car and real bullets were used: Don Siegel did this in Coogan's Bluff where an escaped convict shoots at the car Clint Eastwood is in, shattering the windscreen glass and a trained marksman did this.

I did some googling and found many articles talking about the film, especially the final scene but nothing so far that talked about the practical elements of the effects. I'll keep looking though.

(I wonder why I put this under Bad Movies? It was a good movie. Maybe the flu was befuddling my brain earlier than I thought.)

Trivia: during the Bonnie & Clyde movie hype they interviewed Joan Crawford, and she had nothing but praise for newcomer Faye Dunaway. 14 years later Faye played Joan in Mommie Dearest.

Bonnie & Clyde was filmed on Stage 25 at Warner Brothers, where The Big Bang Theory later recorded. It's said traces of Warren Beatty's ego can still be found in the walls.

I saw it only twice, but I found it well-made, and probably because of very good character development and a swell-structured plot. I didn't notice the issue with issue concerning the shoot-out, though, and probably because I was overly distracted by the yummy Faye.

I think what men find attractive in women and what women find attractive in other women is an entirely different matter (probably simply coming down to a sexual attraction versus more of an evaluation) but while I know many have regarded Faye Dunaway as the epitome of gorgeous, I honestly have never gotten why. She's certainly not ugly, but she was considered top of the top in her time and often gets ranked high on all-time lists of beautiful actresses to this day.

I do like one famous picture of her sitting poolside, relaxing with her feet up as the sun rises on the long night after she won an Oscar. She looks so tired and happy.

John Houseman - who produced one of Warren Beatty's earlier films, All Fall Down - said that the DOP on that film flew a helicopter to within a few metres of Beatty's head and that the actor was arrested on the last day of location shooting  Buggedout

French-inspired script? I get it now! It's like Melville's movies, including Bob le flambeur.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
