Before my detractors chime in and remind me that this thread has nothing to do w/ mustangs, specifically fox mustangs,...I can say that this is about cars, (albeit ones that don't actually exist) and I am talking.
Who knows, there may actually be a mustang in the movie, but I'll never know unless it's on some trailer.
A preview comes on for the upcoming release of FF7, tied to a Dodge commercial.
In the preview, a trailer is going off a cliff, and Paul Walker is running the opposite direction, on the roof of the trailer. Simultaneously, The Mexican? female is driving towards him in a Challenger, whips the thing into a E brake 180 slide, and presents the rear of the car to Walker, now completely off the cliff, in Superhuman mode flying through the air, because once again, he has managed to defy the physics that the rest of the mortals on earth have to live by.
Lets just say the trailer going off the cliff has slowed to an ass draggin 15 MPH, and it's going direction "A".
Super Walker is running the opposite direction, (B) at a fairly steep uphill angle, on the roof of the now airborne trailer, headin' for Wylie Coyote land at the bottom of the canyon floor. Lets say he can manage 15 MPH, that would be generous considering that that is 4 MPH faster than the "average" human can run at his best.
( Unless you also want to credit an under cover cop, turned ex under cover cop, turned car thief, turned special agent working for the cops, and whatever else these guys are supposed to be in the other 6 movies they were in with having the same physical capabilities as Olympic runner Usain Bolt.)
Now that we have set up our allowances and standards, back to the preview.
The car is now sliding in reverse, on what has to be loose dirt. Despite that, I'm sure the tires are now fiercely churning forward, because when you are such an experienced driver like she is, power sliding the car right up to the cliff, close enough so that super Walker will have something to grab onto, you just know how to control a speeding, sliding, 4000 lb brick on dirt, in the desert.
Walker, who is still moving in a positive direction, against the trailer going the opposite direction (Think about it, if the trailer is going 15, and he's running 15 in the opposite direction, how fast is he actually going?) manages to run across the roof, and at the end manages a monster leap precise enough to grab onto the rear wing spoiler of the challenger.
Really?
How STUPID, how FAR from reality does a special effect have to get before you finally say to yourself I'm an idiot for trading my 8 bucks to have my intelligence assaulted for the sake of entertainment?
Okay. let it fly.
