manhole cover explodes


damn I was laughing for 15 minutes

I thought it was an amazing scene - it really looks like a very heavy manhole cover going up and barely missing Jack Lemmon as it comes down. I wonder how they did that? I this age of computer wizardry, I wouldn't even think about it, but back in 1969? And I laughed hardest at this scene too.

I remember thinking, "Now THERE'S something he could actually sue for."

^Good point!

Just imagine if there was a car driving over at the time. I always squint my eyes with fear as it literally just misses Jack Lemmon. Oh my days. I wonder if it was really that loud when it hit the ground. I can't tell whether it was dubbed or not.
