Slog - Comments on I Want an ISUZU Gemini! http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/i_want_an_isuzu_gemi Back in the '80s—long before the development of CGI technology—there were a group of people commonly refered to as "STUNT DRIVERS." Check out this AMAZING display of actual stunt driving from this series of late '80s ISUZU Gemini commercials! (Hang with it... it gets even better toward the end!) Tip o' the hat to Best Week Ever!...

Those drivers are freakin awesome!

Crikey, just think of all the takes they must've done. I'd like to think they lost at least a few Geminis in that river jump.

It would be really cool if we could see the out takes. No doubt a few Geminis got dented up in the course of filming these. Still, some pretty awesome driving.

That makes the Bourne Identity look like a couple of homeless guys ramming each other with shopping carts.

You should forward it to Matt Damon.

(Sadly, I never approached anyone with my idea to film "The Importance of Being Earnest" as an "Earnest" film before Jim Varney died. Actually, I didn't even have the idea until he'd been dead for several years.)

Anyway, I might have some high-school connex I could work with Matty D; this could really happen! Thanks for the vote of confidence, Ivan.

My very first car was an Isuzu Gemini and no one ever believes that it was a real car! Thank you Stranger, for giving me another glance at that glorious car.
