Thinking of the power of a Porsche 911 conjures up images of the metal-ripping, tyre-squealing car chase scenes from the '80s classic film 'No Man's Land'.

The highlight of the movie is a 7-minute car chase, which packs quite a punch. The scene begins with a sense of reckless anticipation, as friends Ted and Benjy, played by Charlie Sheen and BD Sweeney, smoothly carjack a silver 911 Porsche from a basement car park of a shopping mall. As they make for the exit, a red Boxster catches Ted's eye. Five seconds later, he is in the process of ripping off the soft-top hood when his enemies spot him from across the car park. Ted ducks under the barrage of bullets fired and hops into the Porsche 911, where Benjy sits behind the wheel revving its powerful engine. And so begins the car chase scene that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats for the next 7 minutes. The first quarter of the chase happens in the cramped car park itself, with the men in the Porsche giving their chasers (driving a Lincoln MK IV and a Camaro) a torrid time.
