Hate to break it to you guys but that's the Braveheart statue that was in car park of the wallace monument, both Wallace statues look a lot more sensible . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wallace_Statue,_Aberdeen#mediaviewer/File:William_Wallace_Statue_,_Aberdeen.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wallace_Statue,_Bemersyde#mediaviewer/File:Wallace1.jpg Look at that he's wearing armour and not loving rags. Thing that fucks me off most about Braveheart is how all the Scots are poo poo-eating peasants and all the English are panto villains. It's like they were trying to piss off everyone.

Overzealous car flips. Im sure its common knowledge that they use giant air cannons to flip cars over in crashes that would normally cause a big crumpled mess. Which is fine and all, rolls and flips look better on film. But when you see the big cloud of compressed air and the obvious alterations to the undercarriage its just eye rolling shite. A very good example of this is in The Dark Knight when the semi truck gets flipped during its chase with Batman but it can be seen in a whole bunch films and it always looks out of place. http://youtu.be/81LeooTiKI0 - about 1min in for the truck flip im talking about. dpack_1 has a new favorite as of 03:23 on Jan 10, 2015 |

No, no, the Scandinavian version is whether to pickle the herring.  Why would you ferment it? That's a waste of something that could be made into delicious pickled herring. I mean, if we started wasting it like that, we'd not have enough for the annual Herring Festival.

Unnecessarily unsheathing swords. Like thranduil whipping his out while talking with the laketown king or whoever that guy was. "We attack at dawn!" *Takes out sword that very moment and trots away.* hobbit movie #3 scene spoilers Just loving leave the sword in the case until you are actually in a fight.

It's better if you just imagine that the main theme is always playing in his head on loop. He thinks everyone else hears it too so he has to shout over it.

Something stupid about Die Hard with a Vengeance is the whole bit where Simon is lying to like two of his men about destroying the gold. Like, it would make sense if he was lying to ALL of his men but right after he kills the head henchman they have him with all the rest of his guys celebrating how they stole the gold.

dpack_1 posted:Overzealous car flips. I think it was Casino Royale that did it the best, by launching a high powered cylinder from the bottom of the Aston just as the car was to run over Vesper. They had tried and tried and tried to get the car to wreck itself, but they were unable to get the car to flip over on its own momentum. The Dark Knight scene did manage to do a good job of hiding the piston that was deposited onto the ground, which is visible in behind the scenes shots. The Bond flip though, they did a great job of hiding everything with that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj_zzthr0oc

That doesn't sound right, I cant believe that anyone would think a car would flip like that with just a quick right/left of the steering wheel. Suvs, sure but not regular cars and especially not sports/supercars that sit even lower to the ground. This is in response to specifically "but they were unable to get the car to flip over on its own momentum", not that the stunt was too unbelievable or something. (Though it does look ridiculous.)

An blatant example of not making any effort to hide effects is in The Frighteners. There is a scene where a bed levitates and there is, plain as day, a big rear end machine right there lifting it up. I was 14 when that film came out and I remember being really confused thinking they kept a huge industrial vacuum cleaner under the bed or something. I was a simple child.

Suvs, sure but not regular cars and especially not sports/supercars that sit even lower to the ground. It's definitely possible. You get an aerodynamic car sideways/backward at speed, and it turns into a lifting airfoil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnBRgC_btW0 poo poo happens at exactly 1 minute. Current NASCAR cars have little spoilers on the roof that pop up when they spin to prevent that. jabby posted:I remember thinking at the time it was a rather poor advert for aston martin, the idea that their car would horribly wreck if you made a rapid steering adjustment on an otherwise perfectly normal stretch of road. Wasn't he moving at a good clip in that scene, and overdid the steering? Like, a small correction at 100mph, the car sticks like glue, going all the way to one side at 150mph makes it lose grip, spin, and lift. I don't think it was shown accurately in the movie, but it's possible to roll it in those conditions.

Interesting article about it here. Looks like an 8-inch ramp was enough to flip an old BMW 5-series, but the Aston Martin refused to flip on both that and even an 18-inch ramp. Moral of the story, buying an Aston is really the safest thing for your children.

I remember when I was a kid (long ago, in a wretched time known as "the 80s"), seeing on "Real People" or "That's Incredible!" how they used a telephone pole trunk to shoot a telephone pole piece through a tube in the undercarriage of the car to make it roll. Since then, I've never been able to unsee it.I still see that big circular hole in the bottom of cars that roll in movies today.

Yeah, the "Marion" truck in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I consciously look for it every time. The thing is sticking out like five feet from the bottom of the truck.

Here's one that's bugged me about Guardians Of the Galaxy Why, in ~20 years, did Quinn never never open his mom's gift until the climax of the film? I can vaguely accept a mild through-line that he's actively been avoiding Earth and his past, but he obviously loved his mom and not opening it doesn't really make a ton of sense. EDIT: Unrelated, another one that comes in almost every movie's commentary: someone saying something along the lines of "Wow this is a spoiler for the movie, I hope you've watched the film before watching the commentary!" Who the gently caress watches a movie's commentary before ever watching the movie proper? MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 06:08 on Jan 17, 2015 |
