Kohta lähdössä katsomaan leffaa. Mielenkiintoista nähdä miltä tuo Monacon kohtaus näyttää. Tämmöinen artikkeli löytyi jossa hieman lisäinfoa:

The filmmakers had been given permission by the government of Monaco to film on the race circuit, but Formula One’s chief executive, Bernie Ecclestone, overruled the decision, Mr. Armstrong said. “We did end up flying one of the Rolls-Royces over there, and we filmed it driving down the course.” Racecars that were also in the scene, zooming past in the opposite direction, were “computer-generated,” he added.
Most of the sequence involving the movie’s fictional “Grand Prix de Monaco Historique” (based on a real race that was just staged May 2, by the way) was filmed in the parking lot of Downey Studios — formerly a manufacturing plant where the original Space Shuttle was built, in Southern California.
Set builders re-created several turns and two straightaways of the Monaco circuit, put up catch fencing, guardrails and grandstands. “We even put inflatable patrons in the seats,” Mr. Armstrong said. A huge “green screen” built behind all the action let film editors key in wide shots of the Monaco skyline and harbor.
Where did all the racecars come from? Eight were supplied by the Historic Grand Prix Association. Some 19 additional cars were built by Mr. Armstrong’s crew, using molds they created based on 1978 Wolf Formula One cars. Only 2 of the 19 were actually running models. They were equipped with 320-horsepower, 350-cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8 “crate motors.” “They are real racecars, capable of 100-plus m.p.h. speeds,” Mr. Armstrong said.
