The movie is best known for the heist's escape phase using three Austin Mini Cooper S cars in red, white, and blue.

The Italian Job is famous for its literal cliffhanger ending. After successfully stealing the gold and escaping Turin, the crew's coach loses traction on a winding mountain road. The vehicle balances precariously over a precipice, with the gold at one end and the men at the other. Croker’s final line—"Hang on a minute, lads. I've got a great idea"—cuts to black, leaving the resolution to the viewer's imagination.

That ending... do they get the gold, or does the coach go over? 🚌💰
