I saw this last night. I really got a kick out of Seth Green's character because of the whole Napster ordeal. My fiancee went to high school with Shawn Fanning (the Napster co-creater) in Chantilly, VA.

Sorry to bump an old thread (one from before my time here), but it was the only one I could find about THE ITALIAN JOB (2003).
I finally saw this movie and I had a question about the ending:

Sorry, it's been awhile since I've seen this movie and just don't recall.
What I would REALLY like to know is when in the hell is Paramount going to remaster this movie?
It has been 15 years!
For those that do not know, this is one of the worst looking BDs of all time.
It looks like Paramount upconverted a very shitty looking DVD and called it a day.
It's really too bad because this is a pretty good movie.

But seriously, the remake is such a dull clichéd piece of shit. The original had that great 60s vibe, Michael Caine at the top of his game, it was fun and the driving sequences were well done. Hell how many movies can say they star Noel Coward and Benny Hill. And the ending is an all time classic.
The remake has Marky Mark, a bored Edward Norton who was forced to do the movie and lame action. Its such a lazy piece of shit movie.

I have never once heard anyone make that statement., and certainly don't ever say it whilst in England.

In any event, can anyone please answer my question about the ending of the remake?

I still enjoy the heck out of this movie, especially the cast of characters like Seth Green, Statham, and Mos Def. I'm still surprised a sequel never got made.

All right, no spoiler tag!
Why didn't the Ukrainians take all the gold or at least most of it at the end? Why did they seemingly take just one small case of it as opposed to three carloads? They had the men, the guns and the will.

I still remember during one of the Oscar nomination shows, they introduced Wahlberg and mentioned The Brazilian Job. I think it never happened due to scheduling.

In all seriousness, no idea. I actually need to watch it again. Could just be a plot hole one should ignore; kind of like Ocean's 11 and how the fake money (which were adverts for hookers) got into the vault.

I really never ever thought about the gold. It was Wahlberg and company’s and they got it back. The Ukrainians I think were stiffed by Norton and just wanted revenge and what was owed...
