'''''Getaway in Stockholm''''' is a Swedish [[film series]] about illegal [[street racing]] filmed using mainly car mounted cameras along with some cameramen alongside the route. The videos are all shot in the streets of [[Stockholm, Sweden]] and have developed a worldwide underground cult reputation in the street racing scene.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
One film is released every year. The actual run takes place during early morning hours in late autumn when there's the least amount of traffic. The identities of the drivers and the car owners are carefully withheld, though Mr X is likely Jocke "Qvarnis" Qvarnström. So far, ten volumes of the series have been released:{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}<br />
* Getaway in Stockholm:1: [[Porsche 964#Turbo|Porsche 911 Turbo (964)]]<br />
* Getaway in Stockholm 2: [[Toyota Supra#Fourth generation (A80; 1993)|Toyota Supra (A80)]] and [[Ford Escort RS Cosworth]]<br />
* Getaway in Stockholm 3: [[Honda NSX (first generation)|Honda NSX]]<br />
* Getaway in Stockholm 4: Honda NSX and [[Chevrolet Corvette (C5)]]<br />

<br />
The series was the main reason Stockholm was included in the [[video game]] ''[[Project Gotham Racing 2]]'' and is mainly influenced by the legendary [[short film]] ''[[C'était un rendez-vous]]''.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}<br />
<br />
== Critique on authenticity ==<br />
In an interview with ''PB'' motorcycling magazine, Patrik Fürstenhoff, Swedish Wheelie Team Member and widely accepted as the [[Ghost Rider (motorcyclist)|Ghost Rider]] himself, had this to say:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
''We saw a movie called 'Getaway in Stockholm', which is a car chase movie. But it's all made up. We couldn't believe the world was raving about it. The policeman was actually a body builder, he even had baggy pants on. It wasn't real. There's a hardcore group of riders and drivers in Stockholm who do this for real, but yet the "Getaway in Stockholm" movie was a rental car pretending to be a police car and it was all in the middle of the night with empty roads. You can print this; it was shit. And we made up the Ghost Rider as a big 'you suck' to the car guys.''<br />
{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}</blockquote><br />
<br />
It is highly likely that the movie Fürstenhoff saw was the first one of the ''Getaway in Stockholm'' series. While the authenticity of the police car in the first film is questionable, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the police cars in the later parts since many of them are captured on the video less than one car-length away. As a response to Fürstenhoff's critique, ''Getaway in Stockholm 8'' features some motorcycle scenes and some humorous scenes making fun of the Ghost Rider.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}<br />
<br />
== Public response ==<br />
The movie series gained questionable public attention in [[Finland]] in the aftermath of [[Munkkivuori#Huopalahdentie accident|a traffic accident]] that took place on 13 August 2002. A local importer of the Getaway in Stockholm movies killed a nine-year-old girl by running over her with his car in [[Munkkivuori]], [[Helsinki]]. The driver of the [[Car tuning|tuned]] [[Audi A3#S3 (1999–2003)|Audi S3 (8L)]] car was reportedly speeding.<ref>[http://www.kiasma.fi/calendar/jouko-lehtola/stories-behind-pictures/crashed-cars "Stories behind pictures, Crashed cars"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131022140426/http://www.kiasma.fi/calendar/jouko-lehtola/stories-behind-pictures/crashed-cars |date=2013-10-22 }}, ''Kiasma'', 13 October 2013</ref><br />
