Holy.........mother............of God. (I shat myself)
I think the thing is on some crazy sort of revolving axle or central hub? It keeps the rider upright (he never goes down), but the tires seemed to roll sideways, keeping him from having an all-out Evel Knievel experience (sliding, falling off and eating pavement).
I remember the word "sidewinder" being used a long time ago (as in "last summer and autumn") when talking about this pod thingie. At the time, I assumed that maybe it meant the riding portion could switch around/pivot 90 degrees but the wheels stay pointing forward (where the wheels were lined up like the from of the Tumbler...*ahem*), for zero-turn or whatever.

It never occurred to me that the wheels might spin/rotate the other way, on an entirely different (and unexpected) axis, which the clip seems to show. Pretty damn cool, if that's what is going on!

I'm not sure, but I'm sure it'll be mentioned in the movie. And the accompanying toys will no doubt have this "feature" included as well...
"Sidewinding lateral slide action!!" and so forth...

In the last clip the joker kinda laughs like a monkey.
You don't think he really chops that guy up do you? I mean, he did seem pretty serious about it.
The "break in" clip is our first look at Fight scenes in TDK
It will be interesting to see where people rank Nolan in terms of their favourite directors after seeing TDK.
He's already my favorite director. Prestige solidified that.
Same here. It's actually one of the reasons I'm so excited for TDK - I know he won't let it go to crap.He's already my favorite director. Prestige solidified that.
I was looking at movie clips and I realized they had listed 12 different film clips for The Dark Knight, but when I try to view them, nothing happens.
