What an excellent piece of film. When you break it down like that it makes them look so much more simple

I love how having a rotating prop running through the car would be seen as awkward and inconvenient. Not bloody dangerous at all.

Fascinating! I wonder how many injuries were incurred on the last scene?
Good find
Also never heard the term straightaway before in that context.
