    Okay this may or may not be a bit too obscure...if so speak up and I'll try to come up with something else.

    This National Football League Hall of Fame running back (American football for those of you overseas) got his first movie role in the 1976 movie, Midway portraying Cmdr Delaney, the engineering officer aboard the USS Yorktown. Who was this man?

    Getting back to Steve McQueen and the Great Escape.
    He played an American and also a small role as a German in the movie. Name the German role.

    If I made Col. Hessler more specific I would not know the answer myself. [​IMG]
    I read he tried to do the over the fence jumps himself but kept falling so he played a German chaseing him self, but I don't know which motorcyle.
    Over to the Col.

    More specific, eh?

    </font>
    • During the climatic motorcycle chase, John Sturges allowed Steve McQueen to ride (in disguise) as one of the pursuing German soldiers, so that in the final sequence, though the magic of editing, he's actually chasing himself.</font>
    </font>
    • Hilts (Steve McQueen) strings a wire across the road to obtain a motorcycle. McQueen himself played the German motorcyclist who hits the wire.</font>

    --------------------------------------

    I can't think of a good question right now. Give me an hour or so.

    That would be the 1969 Triumph Bonneville 650. The same model was used by the Fonz in Happy Days.

    As for my question, how bout a little Band of Brothers? After Lt. Spiers relieves Lt. Dike, E company proceedes with the attack on Foy. What company does Lt. Spiers hook up with by running across the German lines then comming back in fear that they will get away?

    O Boy. Sorry about that. Things aren't going to great around here the last couple of days. I've got so many things on my mind. I'll shut up now so I don't say anything else stupid.

    Framer,
    A 'Bonnie' is also a classic British bike.

    I was right, it is the 1961 Triumph TR6. TA, the Triumph TR6 is both an automobile and a bike.
