Do you remember the climactic car chase “Thief of Budapest” episode? If so, then you will recall the suspenseful scene in which MacGyver is trying to get back a stolen watch that holds top secret information of microfilm. During the show, a young Gypsy girl steals the watch from him and he has to get creative to get it back. This means creating a traffic jam which Mac does by using a Swiss Army Knife and a credit card, of course. But perhaps what is most memorable about the episode is that the iconic car chase was actually dead footage from The Italian Job.
