I'm still trying to figure out how you get a MINI out of a drainpipe with ~3,000 lbs. of gold in the boot

How come the nose drops when it exits the drain? 3000lbs is more than the car weighs. More cinema trickery....

Notice after they exit the drain, the blue Mini has the front drivers side black trim hanging, and the red Mini has the bumper barely hanging on, and the hood starts to fly open upon impact.

The 1st time their out of the drain, and they get on pavement, the blue Mini has major damage just behind the passenger door, which magically heals itself.

"Self healing" option is only available in Hollywood.

I'd love to see a picture of a MINI with 3000lbs of anything in the boot. Talk about 'slamming' a car...
