Bollywood does C&V
 
A user on another site I frequent shared this video, which has the requisite C&V content. From what I can gather, it's from a 1992 Indian/Hindi film called "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar." This is the climactic race scene, which is apparently meant to be completely serious.

Don't blink or you'll miss the high-tension closeup at 3:56 (though a few more follow).

Nothing like a Raleigh Sprite with a downtube shifter being pushed the wrong way to operate a Falcon rear derailer in a velodrome.

Mind you, American Flyers is not much better in the corn department, though this movie has the added Easter egg of a Saddam Hussein look-a-like in the bleachers. :lol:

5:13 - is it just me, or do I see a Campagnolo Euclid front brake?

Guys red bike looks like it has stem shifters AND a downtube shifter for close ups (which apparently works being pulled backwards as mentioned a few times already!)

I need to figure out how to rig my bikes like that, so I can go fast too.

Haha. My sides are still aching. That shift of gears is awesome. Thank you for posting this. Must go and have a drink now and try to stop laughing.
