Anyone know where I can watch this for free?

[Spider]

I don't think it's been on free to air TV at all. DVDs of it pop up from time to time and then there was some kind of a re-make or a follow up movie, that I haven't seen.

 

I do have the original on DVD, quirky but funny in parts and what they did to that poor Mini,,,,

Thanks for the info. Yeah I can’t find anything either. I haven’t seen the new remake and don’t plan to until I see the original.
Thanks

The original was made in 1980, I found a DVD of it for sale

Trailer

 

The remake was done in 2016, they used a MINI in that one and somehow, I don't think it's caught the imagination anything like the original.

Goodbye Pork Pie

"Mini Coopers? Who needs ‘em? For a real Mini adventure, all you need is a yellow British Leyland 1000 model, a few thousand miles of New Zealand countryside and Amy Archibald’s dog."

RICHARD GUNN, a Seventies Mini owner himself, looks at Goodbye Pork Pie, one of the world’s lesser-known road movies:-

Goodbye Pork Pie: how the remake might fare against the original Kiwi favourite
The trailer for Pork Pie, the remake of 1981 Kiwi hit Goodbye Pork Pie and with it come some clues about what direction the new movie might be taking.
The film, directed by Matt Murphy - the son of Geoff Murphy, who made the original - came out on February 2, 2017.
Here's how the new model of the north-to-south car-chase movie shaped up.
The car
Well it's a yellow Mini. And it has the same number plate as the 1981 one - IZ6393.
The British Leyland model in the original arrived in Invercargill having been liberated of its doors and pretty much everything else but its engine, chassis and remaining body work.
In the new one the BMW-made yellow MINI looks as if it's hardly been run in by the time Dean O'Gorman pops through the sunroof to yell: "I'm taking this bloody car to Invercargill!" In the original, Tony Barry's same line ended with "boy".....

Ace list, thanks   sadly (tragically ?) I've seen them all - except for 'The Prisoner'. It was a very odd choice of vehicle to use in such a series as driving one, you feel anything but a Prisoner !

Thanks for bringing this up, I hadn't seen it before.

 

Watched it last night, it definately has some interesting moments and the Mini is great.

 

Worth a look.

.... are you sure this sort of behavior should be discussed on a public forum?
