Adam, Keep It Up! Please continue to critique "Hollywood Physics." Live action movies should NEVER be confused with "Cartoon Physics." The only way to get that changed is call them on it regularly. Who knows? Someday studio heads may actually pay attention. Imagine! Studios with someone on contract who both loves movies and knows how the universe works to vet the action scenes before they spend money on production? The mind boggles. I love action movies and I'm willing to suspend disbelief... but only a little. In the case of the Joker's Semi truck doing the 180 flip, clearly that's not possible as presented. Not even if the cables had mythical strength. This was instantly obvious. The visual was so "cool" everyone in my party noticed, yet were willing to forgive that stupidity and continue enjoying the movie. That forgiveness is rare. When utterly illogical things are shown (fuel hoses passed through interior doors of Mir in "Armageddon" still comes to mind) it just ruins the movie experience for me. I suspect that's true of a LOT of others who just stop buying tickets.
