In summary, the duo in Seville, Spain were riding a motorbike that was thought to be a Ducati, but it was later discovered to be a Smart Roadster. The three cars following them were also expensive sports autos. The Aprilia was used for stunts while the Ducati was used for close ups and low speed shots. The movie, titled Knight and Day, received mixed reviews and was popular among couples.

I thought the motorbike that the duo ride (in Seville, Spain) was a Ducati [edit]although, see below quote[/edit]. Has anyone recognized the make of the three little cars following them? They looked like toy cars, but I am sure they are expensive sports autos.

[Edit] Found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Roadster Turns out not that expensive either.

It has its funny moments, though... Most people watching it were couples.

The title of the movie seems strange. Why Knight and Day? Is that their names?

It is common for movies to use different bikes for different purposes in order to achieve the desired shots and stunts.

As for the three little cars following them, they are indeed Smart Roadsters. These cars are small and lightweight, making them perfect for chasing scenes in a crowded city like Seville. They are also relatively inexpensive, making them a practical choice for movie productions.

It is always interesting to see the behind-the-scenes choices that go into making a movie, even when it comes to the vehicles used. In this case, the filmmakers have chosen a combination of practicality and performance to bring the action to life on screen.

As they evade assassins and government agents, they develop a romantic relationship and must work together to uncover the truth behind the new energy source.

The two main characters are Roy Miller, a rogue agent played by Tom Cruise, and June Havens, an unsuspecting woman played by Cameron Diaz. Other notable characters include Fitzgerald, Roy's former colleague and current enemy, and Simon Feck, the inventor of the new energy source.

3. Is Knight & Day based on a true story?

No, Knight & Day is a fictional action-comedy movie. However, the film's plot does draw inspiration from real-life events, such as the development of new energy sources and the use of covert agents in government operations.

4. Who directed Knight & Day?
