The Three Best Movie Stunts Involving Vehicles

Stunts play a big role in movies, and an entire industry now revolves around it. Car stunts are even more impressive and movie directors are always trying to come up with even more impressive stunts to make a lasting impression on viewers. In fact, stunts now play such an important role there are now awards dedicated to these and a career as a stuntman looks great on a resume. Many actors originally started as stuntmen before actually moving on to real roles. This is a list of the three best movie stunts that involve vehicles.

Bad Boys 2

Michael Bay is usually pretty demanding when it comes to stunts and Bad Boys 2 delivers with a car chase scene that easily showcases the director's knack for great car stunts. In this scene, the characters of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are in pursuit of a truck that is carrying a load of cars. Not the low end cars, but brands like Lamborghini and Porsche. At one point, these cars are literally thrown from the truck onto the road in an attempt to get rid of the two protagonists. The most impressive thing about this stunt is that these cars are real, thereby giving the scene a unique feel that would not have been achieved with special effects.

The Dark Knight

In this scene, Batman, portrayed by Christian Bale, uses cable from his custom motorcycle to overturn a truck driven by Heath Ledger's memorable Joker. The truck does a flip and lands on its top, leaving barely enough space for The Joker to crawl out and confront Batman. This scene is possibly one of the most impressive stunts pulled due to the mechanics involved. Amazingly enough, very little special effects were actually used in this scene. The crew actually flipped a truck upside down in New York and even cleaned everything up before morning so as not to block the traffic.

Matrix Reloaded

The Matrix reloaded is probably one of the movies with the best stunts ever. It is also known as having an epic car chase scene, which is made even more formidable that they had to build a freeway for it. In this scene, the agents take over some cops to begin the pursuit of the truck. This is just an excuse to unleash what is by far the best stunt in perhaps the whole Matrix trilogy. Picture this, while one agent is driving the car at full speed, the second one gets out of the car and jumps onto another oncoming car before trying to reach the truck. And that's not more. When the agent jumps onto the first car, he actually completely shatters it and appears totally unfazed while doing so. Obviously, this one did involve CGI, but it is extremely original and the speed with which everything is done makes it even more special.
