(spoilers) Was that 'stunt' by Bruce during car crash scene POSSIBLE?
Can someone actually (literally) WALK OUT of a spinning car with such ease like what Bruce did?
sharei doubt it. with that much ease? i HIGHLY doubt it.

Impossible. Either they would have had to jump clear of the rear end or they would have been knocked down. Either way; can't be done.

The movie has a plot hole?!?
EVERY FRIGGIN' MOVIE HAS A FRIGGIN' PLOT HOLE!!!!! (¬_¬)
Bruce Willis can. He nailed that on the first take.

I just love the scene, I watched over and over...
you need strong knees, that's all.
Thanks

That was funny! Great answer.

So you actually think this was a physical stunt done by Willis without the benefit of CGI? That's just adorable.

Everyone knows that Chuck Norris can do it lol.
Yeah what's funny is not only does Bruce casually walk out, but the car also misses him while it's spinning.

Dude...who cares lol It was an awesome scene and IMO, one of the best scenes in the film.
Your logic does not resemble our Earth-logic.
ITA...physically impossible, but who cares? It looked great. I also loved seeing Helen Mirren rocking the 50 cal. Was it Shakespeare? No. Was it entertaining? Hell yeah!
You are only coming through in waves...your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying...
Totally agree with you!!!

It can't be done, the centrifugal force won't let you, ever tried to get down of a slowly moving bus? The momentum you carry pushes you forward and you have to use some force to go against it. In the case of the spinning car the centrifugal force would do the same thing you couldn't just get down and walk, and start shooting just like that, you probably just end on the floor really hurt. Looked really cool on the big screen though.
shareBut if he timed his exit from the car at the precise time that the inward centripetal vector was aligned with the outward centrifugal force being exerted in the center of the force-pressure construct, the two vectors would cancel each other out and he would be able to walk, uninhibited, out of the car, the way he did and he would just have to account for moving fast enough so that the tail end of the car doesn't hit him. And it's obvious that it's possible because he did it in the movie, didn't he?
But seriously, it was pretty cool.
Maybe it was down to the flux capacitor he had in his pocket and the doodah attached to his arm?
shareIt reminds me (although is the opposite) of the scene in Wanted where Angelina Jolie spins the car and opens the door to pick up James Macavoy landing him perfectly in the passenger seat.
Looks impressive but I don't believe it would work. If they could do stunts like this then they wouldn't need to spend BIG $$$'S on special effects.
Its impossible... In simple english, the momentum of the car is spinning at an incredible speed, that means everything else in the car is spinning at that same speed. There is no way Bruce Willis can separate himself from that force...its physically impossible.
But if it was Chuck Norris... well no need to say more....

Perhaps he was situated on the axis of the spin? Like in a gravitron at a carnival?
shareSo now it's the momentum that's spinning?
shareHehe, yeah that made me chuckle as well. You have to loooove physics explained by IMDB users.
(And no thanks, I don't need any further explanation. I happen to study physics.)

Everybody who is saying Chuck Norris could have done it is not thinking correctly. Sure, Chuck could make it look easy, but you're forgetting one thing...who in their right mind would willfully try to hunt down and kill Chuck Norris?
shareplease dont ruin it for us, Bruce can do it!!!!
shareI think the center of the car is likely the center of the spinning car. As he got out about 3 to 4 feet from the center of the car no it would be unlikely for you to avoid inertia from both the spinning car and the sliding car. The only way you could pull it off would be if the car was sliding and spinning very slowly in which case it would be done just like someone stepping off a moving sidewalk at an airport. I suspect that is exactly how they pulled off the stunt using a very slow spinning car on rollers.... I suppose if the car was nearing the end of its spin and slide it would be possible... the problem is the car is shown to be still spinning which means it isn't moving that slowly.... it looked cool, I give them credit for that... but just because you saw it doesn't mean its possible. Hollywood does all sorts of looks cool things that just aren't possible, do people really fly backwards 10 feet when shot with a large caliber handgun or shotgun? Only in the movies.
shareTo Quick Silver - hahahahaha!! Thanks for that laugh - I think we all agree, impossible though it may be - it did look VERY cool and I said "dang, I want to rewind that and watch it in slo-mo" ...it was totally so dang cool!
"I jumped off a roof for you"
To say that it's not possible is crazy. Anybody can practice this and if there are no super powers involved. It's definitely possible with understanding of the inertia and knowing how to control your body. of course, one could easily master this through experience and repetitiveness. K, thank you. You can't argue basic science
share"But if he timed his exit from the car at the precise time that the inward centripetal vector was aligned with the outward centrifugal force being exerted in the center of the force-pressure construct, the two vectors would cancel each other out and he would be able to walk, uninhibited, out of the car,"
ROTFLAMO!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL!
eh?
shareBtw: It's centripetal force. Centrifugal force is actually Centripetal force in the negative vector. And it's a combination of linear momentum and angular acceleration with the torque of the car adjusted for weight on the moment arm to allow for the test stunt to work.
The center of mass on the vehicle and it's Moment of Inertia have to be adjust so as to allow the car to pull away faster than it's angular momentum to compensate thus producing a spiral kinematic trace.
In short, it can be rigged to work.
the laws of physics aside...
Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Jason Bourne or James Bond can do anything...that's why we watch movies! If regular people did this stuff, who would insure us?
Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
only in film, cgi and everthing but in reality the ratio 1:100million k
shareIt looked great, thats what counts.

Eternal Sunshine - Best film ever
Actually in reality the ratio of success would be 0. It's simply physically impossible for a human to fight those forces. It wouldn't matter if he were sitting at the "axis" as he would still need to move himself from the axis to outside the car which he wouldn't have been able to do and specially not like that.
shareBeyond plausibility. MYTHBUSTERS wouldnt take this on.
"Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that"
This is pretty much the exact scenario of jumping off of a plane when it's about to crash. And the answer is, of course you can do it if you time it perfectly right.
