Kiitos!
Have you seen the movie in Finnish?

I read once that in the Italian version, they distinguished the English vs Italian dialogue as Italian vs Venician dialect (Team Cinzano spoke Venician)

I saw it when It came out -as many of us, it inspired us.
I was like 12-13 and I built my first roadbike then and rode it all over maryland, still have it back home.

I now have the movie on dvd.

I think i can get the vespa detail correct on your page- have to watch it today.

Beck is awesome in this movie.

Hilarious. when I was a kid, we named one of our cats "Ini" because of this movie.

He's my cat and his name is Jake.

I see someone in the comments on your site said that Fairview Elementary is in the film. It is not. I went to Fairview from 80-86. The view in the scene with Cyril jogging and Dave riding does not include Fairview, it includes the old Templeton Elementary building. That building was torn down and replaced with a new Templeton School sometime in the late 80s or early 90s.

They are walking on the N side of Hillside DR heading west. My Cousin's grandmother's house is in the scene as they walk past the school and you can see the neighborhood.

I grew up in Bloomington. I love watching Breaking Away.The film really made cycling popular in Bloomington. It also reminds of what the town was like when I was growing up. It's a lot different now...

This movie was a total gateway drug for me.

My older brother as well, which trickled down to me. He went and picked up a 70's Coppi shortly after seeing the movie. that was the first 10 speed that I lusted over.
