MINI Fell off Golden Gate Bridge

[EBMCS03]

Hehe Ok Ok it was in the mini series movie "10.5" by NBC about the west coast having "the big one" (earthquake) and I noticed there was a MINI that was used along with a Hummer and X5 that fell off the Golden Gate Bridge when it snapped.

Anyone else watch the Movie?

Lucky it wasn't true. That would be a huge disaster. We have had a bridge collapse in Australia when a ship ran into the base. Heaps of people died

there was 3 actually, we have TIVO so we rewound and did slow motion and saw that there were 3 minis all on the bridge at once.

I watched that. I only counted two (I missed one). I’m sure my neighbors thought I was crazy when I screamed “Noooooooooooooooo!”

An earthquake is one thing - but THREE Minis meeting such a horrible end? I couldn't bear to watch it - too traumatic to even think about.

My son and I laughed through that whole movie and commented how all the cars falling off the bridge, including the MINIs had doors, trunks and hoods open. This due to their using the 1/18 scale die cast toy cars for the shot. You would think they would have taped these shut for better realism.

Yes I saw this, however I only caught one MINI falling. I was too busy laughing at how bad the acting and some of the scenes were in the movie.

Saw the Black and Red one, after that I had to look away. To horrible to think of real MINIs ending up in the drink like that Can't wait to see the finaly tonight! MINIs to the rescue!

[EBMCS03]

Hahaha acting was pretty bad... even the camera shots... they keep paning in and out and moving while focusing on one person... not sure if it was intended or not but i didnt like it. Its a alright movie... worth watching and see what happens... Wonder if a 8.2 earthquake can really do THAT much damage...

[EBMCS03]

So who watched the rest of the movie today? the ending... or was everyone so sick of the acting and decided to just skip the second half?

I "DVR'd" the second half, to watch tonight with my daughter. She's only 7, but is fascinated with stuff like that, so we are going to watch it tonight. Thanks for the clip, EBMCS03! I can still find only 2 MINIs (a dark one with white roof and a red one)... but that's 2 too many! Pleased to see the Dummer go over, tho...

And yes, the acting was beyond dumb, and the camera work was so distracting as to make the show virtually unwatchable. I guess they were going for a gritty, hand-camera feel, but it was more like Aunt Sue working a video camera for the first time!
