That mountain scene was terrifying!!!


It's like dragging a giant weight behind you up a steep mountain. It falls off track, it'll take the car and YOU with it! I was cringing the entire time!

Yep...

That scene was very scary...

Especially knowing that huge trailer was overweight with rocks... (I MEAN BOULDERS... Gosh those were huge!)

That cliff, and the side of the road giving way several times. I really was hoping that trailer won't go over times...

Didn't that last maintenance guy say something about wearing out those brakes if they were constantly used? I was waiting for the trip down the mountain and have them become a runaway from destroying the breaks due to all that weight... But that did not happen...

I really don't blame Nicky for getting furious at Tacy when they got to the top of the mountain, and he started throwing those rocks out. Tacy almost got them killed, and Nicky told her how dangerous the trip would be. Especially if the weight had broken the trailer hitch or pulled the car backwards down that mountain.

By The Way, wasn't there some other safer road they could have taken?
