No Airbags?! SPOILER


Another continuity goof. When the new Range Rover drives to the top of the car park and is then driven at some speed into the wall that goes around the edge,no airbags are deployed and moments later the car is seen from the front and it's like new! There were just too many goofs in this film,plus a certain lack of originality. Phone booth was much better.

well accually brosnan was not suppose to crash it which he ended up doing by accendent

reply

If u know just a little bit about car tecnology, You would know that the airbags dont go out if not needed.. and the edge whas too low to destroy the car completely anyways...

reply

yes, brosnan really did crash the car and their reactions were real, also, possibly the airbags would have went off but maybe not. the edge was low and maybe would not have caused a lot of visual damage.

He had a heart that couldve held the empire of the world & he had to content himself with a cellar

airbags go off in a collision, that was nothing more than a bump!
the front as you could clearly see had barely any damage..
the airbags would have deployed if he hit it at say 50mph, as nothing to do with how long the object he drove into was.....
google airbags!!

Sri Lankan-English-Czech! seriously!

Enough of a collision for Gerry to have to go to the hospital though.

reply

maybe they simply took the airbags out or just found a way for them not to deploy for the fact that Brosnan wasnt suppose to crash that car in the first place.

Actually, I can believe the airbags did not deploy in that situation. A couple of family members were in a terrible collision awhile back. The car spun numerous times in the middle of a 5- to 6-lane highway. The car hit the curb in a similar manner as this vehicle (and it was a car, not a truck). The airbags did not deploy until the car spun (or rather bounced) back into traffic after another vehicle hit it and then the car collided with another head on where they were headlamp to headlamp. That's when the airbags deployed. They deflated as the vehicles were finally coming to a stop even though they still spun for a few moments, which were likely only mere seconds since any collision of that nature feels as if it is going on longer than it truly is.

There were no airbags in the vehicle, they were removed for filming.

The car was unmodified with air bag still in it. The scene was not suppose to have a crash, but a fast stop. But by accident, it hit the curb. The scene was as realistic as it can get, since it was a real scene with no special effects. Sux for the guy who said it isn't realistic.

IMDB Dictionary:
Flick = Fun
Movie = Negative
Film = Will make me feel far superior than others

I cannot beleive that no one has spotted the even bigger goof relating to the crash, when the car is seen later, there is absolutely NO DAMAGE to the front of it, I would have at least expected the lights to be smashed, but no!

reply

Didn't the rear view ceiling mirror fall off? that was quite a crash

reply

The heavy breathing and look of pain was real, not acting. Gerry was taken to the hospital and had to have therapy for his back injury he suffered for months. Here is a comment about that film from an interview Gerry did with Men's Journal, Gerard Butler's Wild Ride done in Nov. 2012 Also on the DVD the director's commentary talks about it. The cable was supposed to stop the car about an inch or two before the wall.

He'd been working on a movie called Shattered, doing a scene where the SUV he's riding in fake-crashes into a concrete wall. But when the cable that was supposed to catch the car before impact failed, Butler plowed into the wall for real. (You can see it in the movie; it's the take they used.) "I had bruised ribs for months," he says. "I had a headache every second of the day. I still have bulging disks from that *beep* thing."

Complaining that your airbag didn't deploy would be like complaining that your life insurance hasn't payed off yet.

If you survive a crash with relatively minor injuries, how is getting hit with a one-ton beanbag helping you? No, the airbags should not have deployed. Not even close.
