He burns rubber at 4:23 in third gear, to do a flying start take off like that he would have to do it in first gear.
Nah, can't accept that. Car chases, in movies, are not even expected to be realistic. For example, even back in the dukes of hazard days, every episode they tore around corners on gravel roads, with the tires squealing! Chase compilers put those effects in, all the time, with zero disregard for accuracy - there was no reason to single out this one from the general bumff.
The definition of a blooper is a circumstance that is not physically possible or consistent with reality. So, therefore a third gear jack rabbit start is unrealistic.
CC, I'm not saying that the third gear jerk take-off is OK. I'm saying that almost everything in movie car chases, from Bullit to Blues Brothers, is not physically possible and is inconsistent with reality -- but we all accept the nonsense for the sake of an exciting scene. There are just so many examples of impossibilities in movie car chases, and the one you singled out, though you are correct, was no more outrageous than, say, tires squealing on a gravel road. The example you quote is not like the guy in the Ben Hur chariot race who's wearing a watch.
Mr. Vic Ferrari,
You should make us a video of how one it sounds like to take off in third gear in your Enzo Special to prove me wrong!
"Puff The Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul & Mary and "Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown" by the Rolling Stones both reached #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
What else do they have in common?

If you include cartoons, it may be Mel Blanc, but in recent animated movies it is John Ratzenberger
I've had the pleasure of driving quite a few exotic cars in my life. That does not mean that I am fortunate enough to own a copy of every car I ever tried.
At any rate, I provided you with some information. It's up to you whether you want to learn or remain wilfully mistaken.
I can't really imagine a definition of "animated" that does not include cartoons.
Whoa! So you burned rubber in third gear in a Ferrari that belonged to someone else? Did you get bitch slapped for that?
BTW - The other question was on animated movies, not cartoons.
More like congratulated, with a side of admiration.
LOL. I forget what the young ones don't know. Most of Mel Blanc's work (including what you've seen on TV) was on animated movies which, until recently, were called cartoons. That's why making cartoons is called...animation.
