I can't really think of another one, actually. It was sweet, though, except for the shot of Eastwood and Sheen looking totally emotionless in the falling car.

Two guys... in an airport... talking... That's a little fishy.

Yeah, they ruined the scene with that lame shot of the two of them looking like they're out for a Sunday drive and Eastwood quietly saying he told him to put on his seat belt.

I agree it was awesome. I could watch it again and again.

Good to see someone agree. The POWER of the explosion seriously shown through. And the timing of the explosion, a second after the car exits the building.

Then the icing on the cake was the, "Put on your seat-belt" while they're flying through the air.
Had me rolling with laughter.

Just watched The Rookie again the other night. Thats an awesome scene - Loved it but don't think my neighbours upstairs were too happy about it. Surround sound on full blast and then when clint delivered the "i told you to put your seat-belt on" line i let out a roar of laughter only to be met with stamping feet from above me. Some people just don't appreciate the finer things in life.

I'm the bad guy?
How did that happen?

[–] Hysteria28 14 years ago

I don't think I could talk and drive a car out of a exploding at the same time.

This scene was hilarious and had me rolling in laughter. It was awesome and cheezy at the same time!
