Cop car hits Bumble bee during Transformers 3 filming.

Looks to me like it was the other way 'round? I guess the driver of the Camaro wouldn't have been excepting that since the DC officer wasn't supposed to driving through the scene.

I still yet to see any of those movies.

 

[DrMoab]

Good point. At least the cop will have a story to tell his grand kids for a long time.

 

[Ghost]

Judging from what the reporter said it sounds like he broke protocol and blew through the light.

Real life emergency > stupid movie production.

A: He thought it was a secured scene and movie traffic was already going that route through the same red light. So yes he should of cleared the intersection but I can see logic in why he didn't.
B: Siren.
C: The camaro was driving at excesive speeds. Story should be titled Bumble bee hit DC Police vehicle.

New Chev < Old Chev

Yes, which is why the driver of the Camaro was not expecting anyone to be in the path he was supposed to follow.

B: Siren.

The Camaro was driving at excessive speeds because the director said action, and he was doing his job which was following a predetermined stunt routine. The Camaro would have needed to be going pretty fast to do a power slide (which is what it looked like it was going to do to joint the other vehicles), and the driver was going through the motions to make it look good.

Not saying the cop was at fault, I'm just saying I can see why the stunt driver wasn't expecting it, and his side of the story as to why it happened.

They sure covered that thing up in a hurry. Interesting.

 

[IslanderOffRoad]

They have had quite a few high profile accidents shooting TF3.

I think Michael Bay no longer is satisfied with fake explosions and killing people, he's gotta make it all more real.

continued for almost a mile before coming to a stop

WTF

 

[Joshooha]

the car was ugly to begin with, least now it got what it deserved.

 

[mcantar18c]

LOL @ how they cover it up like a dead body

Bumblebee is supposedly now the up coming Z28 model, so they had to "hide" it when not in use:sure:

Doesn't look like the ABS was working all that well. If he hadn't locked up, he might have saved it.

Someone check the IQ of the guy who couldn't figure out the car cover. :twak:

If I was doing a movie stunt that involved an awesome powerslide, I'd pull the ABS fuse. But that's just me.

Wouldn't be all that surprised if that's why the car locked'em up.

:doh:

NO CHIT.
He's doing a powerslide. They WANT the brakes to lock up.
