minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·13 天前Trying to turn I5 into the autobahn with a 140 mph bus lane would result in so much chaos and destruction that honestly I’m all for it. There is 0 chance that the average American drivers liscense having brain could comprehend this concept. Most people can’t even keep an actually reasonable following distance, or understand the concept of a passing lane. This is a literally comically stupid idea, its a B movie plot element from an 80s scifi movie. Fuck it -> Do it for the lols.

They just CGI’d out the ramp that got the bus’s nose up, and CGI’d out part of the landing zone, to make up a jumped gap that looked more impressive. https://youtube.com/watch?v=NPhNIS69ayQ This was back before you could just CGI generate an entire scene like this… you had to actually do a lot of it for real. See if you can spot which exact shots/cuts/parts of shots are real, and which are fake, in that sequence.

physics need not apply

Do you mean The Big Bus (1976) ?
Oh hell yes!
