'You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!'....but why?
I've been aware of this iconic line from The Italian Job for years but only recently caught up with the film....and there it was, explosives packed onto a van, ostensibly to blow the doors off but, in fact, blowing the whole van up.
The thing is, why was Michael Caine testing this in the first place? Unless I missed something there's no point during the heist at which the gang blow the doors off a van anyway.
