that was almost as awesome as true lies when Arnold (stunt driver) came into the used car lot or like the 720 that the "undercover brother" pulled in Undercover brother. Really clean tho

 

That is pretty cool, but look for a stunt driver in CA that can parallel park a car from 90mph. He'll slide the car for about 150ft and then put the car sideways right between two cars.
I'll see if I can find any links for it. I have only seen it on a TV stunt show.

 

that guy in the video was on 5th gear once on Speed.

 

Pretty good skills...

 

That was probably the same guy. I saw him too on some stunt driving show.

 

i think this is FAKE ! anyone notice that his wheels werent rolling !

 

He's right, even before he started the slide

 

I don't think that would be that easy to fake that video.

The non revolving wheels alone is not enough to indicate fakery. He is in continuous wheel lock for the whole time so it's one big controlled skid. We just don't see the run up. You could dolly the car in at slow speed then process out the dolly and speed it up. But the car leans and settles convincingly and the smoke comes from the tires as they get sideways also convincingly.

If you were going to fake it the easiest thing would be to put the two stationary cars in the shot after the fact. That's possible I suppose but it has the feel of a real stunt.

Here's some more stunts with Minis rather than MGs

now this one is probably fake

HAHAHAHAHA thats from shaolin soccer !

 

Does he only do a 90 degree turn in this one? (that is, does he approach the parking space perpindicular to it?) I think I may have seen that also. He comes tearing down the street and parks on the opposite side of a T intersection... way cool.

 

If the wheels turn at a certain rate so that they coincide with the frame rate of the camera it would seem like the wheels are not moving. (ie sometimes in movies wheels turn backwards when the car is going forward etc)
