Especially when he&#8217;s behind the wheel of a\u00a01989 Ferrari\u00a0Mondial t Cabriolet! Navigating only by the directions of a petrified\u00a0Chris O&#8217;Donnell, Pacino tore through the streets of New York City at ridiculous speeds.

Interestingly, John Hughes, the director, had a number of replicas made, but used a real model for the closeup shots. One of the replicas was also destroyed towards of the end of the movie as well.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iSjS-iCPeW8\" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Rock<\/h3>\n<p>Racing through the streets of San Fransisco, Nicolas Cage attempts to chase down Sean Connery while driving a yellow Ferrari\u00a0F355 Spider.
