This would have been an appropriate time to use "baw" in lieu of "men."

Probably forgot to calculate the drag from the truck nuts.

Obviously more practice was needed.

fricking Hooper. Criminally underrated movie that never airs on TV or appears on Netflix.

No doubt one of Burt's best efforts. Can you imagine the parties they had after a days shooting?

Looking at the pic above with it opened, they wouldn't have made it going 100 mph


Definitely agree, while it looks like there is a some slope at the bridge, this isn't the movies with hidden ramps and fake physics.

Best guess with a 10% slope (almost unheard of for a bridge) they would probably need to hit at least 150 mph to have any chance. Of course at that speed the car half disintegrates on impact, they probably lose control, crash and die anyway.

I’ve read a lot of shite over the years on here but this by far is craziest I can ever remember. Incredible.
How legendary would the one that almost got out survived?

Yeah, even if they could have gotten up enough speed to make it they would have probably crashed through the railing on the other side, sunk to the bottom and died anyway

If this is their ramp, I give them props for not landing back on the original pier.

WTF could they have been thinking?

I'm wondering if they made it 1/4 of the distance?

That's not a ramp, it's a wall

And the other side swings out, not much of a landing zone

It's 2019, surely there has to be a video camera aimed at that area, right?

I need to see the video. I NEED it.

Heard they were in a convertible and couldn’t get the windows down.
