message: It is painfully clear that this Wikipage is about a film set in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Therefore, I can’t fathom the reason the contributor of the snippet in the Trivia section felt compelled to remind us that they were referring to a home in, “Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.”   Is this to help disambiguate between Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and all the other Melbournes out there? (i.e. Melbourne, Queensland, Australia, and Melbourne, Germany, Europe). Why did the contributor stop there? Why not specify the planet? What about the solar system and galaxy?  Wouldn’t it help us all out of it stated Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Earth, Solar System, Galaxy, Universe?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.62.19 (talk) 07:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I saw the yellow Getaway Car, in two pieces, on display at the National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra, on a school trip in what must have been the mid-nineties.
Does anyone know any more about this? Is it still there, if not, where it went?
It was quite exciting to see. None of the other kids seemed to care but to me, it was a piece of magic right there in front of me.
Would be absolutely chuffed to see any info on this Wikipedia entry about what's happened to the car.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.46.115.39 (talk) 04:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Getaway car at NFSA 

message: The DVD audio commentary says that there were 3 of these cars used in production of the movie, IIRC.
I would really like to see one of them, up close.
And notice: when it's driving as a complete car, the wheels are in the normal position, but when it is 2 separate parts of the car, the wheels are much closer inwards. As would be necessary, to prevent it falling over. Or you could simply lean it, to keep it upright, albeit on a strange angle.
I wonder if Malcolm incorporated a mechanism (fictional) to move all four wheels inwards, whilst driving, before splitting the car, when he operated the ceiling mounted lever!!

message: A music score for Malcolm was written by Paul Coppens the Dutch born Australian composer and music director, however this score was not used in the final cut of the film. The credit list on the page lists Paul Coppens, but links to another Paul Coppens, the Belgian writer and actor, who was not involved in this film.
The following links give details of the Paul Coppens who wrote the discarded score.
