That a MINI was one of the cars flying off the Golden Gate? a H2 went frist then a MINI.

Bad movie. Really bad. The wife and I were looking at each as if someone actually spent money making it. Yeah, we watched part of it. suckers for special effects. But they really were not that good. Won't catch part two.

I wasted my time watching the movie as well.....and yes I saw the MINI going over the broken golden gate bridge....very sad really. I didn't mind seeing the H2 going over, it needed to be cleened anyway since it was completely covered in mud...I wonder how many people in the SF area are taking their H2's off roading!

Yeah, I saw it, Black with a white top non S. That was a BAD movie, even if it was made for TV.

I missed the MINI, but I did see what I thought were several Hummers going down. At least something good came of that mess.

I only watched about 10 minutes. Long enough to see the bridge fall and to get totally motion sick from that idiotic camera trick of starting every dialog shot with a handheld 3/4 closeup and then pulling (or pushing) in another click on the zoom. I suppose it was supposed to look edgy and cool. But I just thought it was stupid. Like I'm assuming was the case with the rest of the movie.

I saw the black and white mini go over. I was watching for one when the bridge went. My wife thinks she saw a cr/w go over also.

I agree with all of you who think it was a really bad movie. Seeing the mini go over was deeply troubling to me. You see I have to cross that bridge to get to my dealer.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO

Don't worry, that movie wasn't very realistic. We all know that the mini could have jumped that gap and sped to the other side before the bridge collapsed.

Hay, I haven't seen the movie (and won't) but it is just a movie. Besides I live in California and when "THE BIG ONE" hits I know the rest of the country is going to fall into the Atlantic Ocean.

He's right. We need to wait at LEAST ten years before returning to our normal lives. Movies should be nothing but lollipops and Care Bears from now on.

On a side note....10.5 was pretty bad. But that movie "The Day After Tomorrow" looks pretty slick. Plus its got the kid from Donnie Darko, he kicks ***.

Weren't you paying attention to the movie? It was a care bear sucking a lollipop that was driving the mini that fell off the bridge.

Anyone want to invest in beachfront property in Nevada?
