remember when they used to crash real cars...

[Looking4number8]

in movies.. XXX: State of the Union is on and the computer graphic on all of the car crashes are so obvious, it make the movie not very good. Sad that I miss the real crashes.

Hmmm... wonder if computer graphics had anything to do with the fall of the car industry, no need for Hollywood to buy 1000's of cars anymore

Im not sure about hollywood hurting the car industry, but I agree that all the effects hurt the overall quality of many movies

That reminds me of an old episode of the "ATeam" back in the day. They were being chased by the bad guys who were in a farily new Ford. When the big crash scene happens where the car explodes and flys in the air it was a older model Dodge. :)

The all-time classic.

The Blues Brothers movie from 1980. The infamous car pileup takes place at the 1 minute, 52 second mark of this video.

I hear you! I have Smokey and the Bandit on DVD and the director comments that they got five Trans Am's and five police cars from pontiac for the movie at no cost.:D

Was Brad McCoy on the staff at Burnet in 2003 when they beat the Kansas City Chiefs? (Really old school reference)

I don't think he was. But he did instruct 50,000 of his followers to show up 12 hours before the game in support of them.

The GreenMonster made a point to find the exact spot of this awesome car crash scene on his visit to the Windy City this last summer. It's really an underwhelming experience hahahaha!

I always get a big kick out of chase scenes where you see cars bottom out after a jump. A frames break, fenders and hoods buckle, hubcaps and other parts come flying off the cars. But in the next scene, the car doesnt have a scratch on it, and is still running great. I always thought, sure wish I could find a car that could do that. They must have only sold those cars to Hollywood studios I guess.
