Oh man, I'm not overreacting now when I tell you guys that I get goosebumps everytime I see that 1 minute clip, and that's because of Andrew's acting! Wow he's perfect!!

They can if the fire reaches the gas tank

Nope. Not at all. Cars do not explode when they are on fire. In fact, most gas tanks these days are made from plastic so it would simply melt and the gas would burn out. There may be a flare up once the fire hits the gasoline but it won't explode.

I am a firefighter and have been for the past 9 years. I have fought somewhere around 60-70 car fires, truck fires, and even a couple of semi truck fires and not once did any of them explode. It's just a made-up hollywood myth type thing. Unless there is something else in or on the car to make it explode such as a propane tank or other explosive material, it won't happen. Cars on fire do not explode. Period.

Okay, that preview was pretty disappointing. It was pretty much the same as Trailer #3 besides the first minute or too, which was the best part. The CG honestly looks really poor, let's hope the story and characterization are stronger than these effects.

Oh and obvious green screen is incredibly obvious

I'd prefer to see less rather than more. We have plenty of footage out there between all the trailers and international trailers. There's no need to further spoil the movie. I know too much already. I'd rather know less and be somewhat surprised when I see it rather than have it revealed to me prior. The preview was enough to get people excited about the movie. Besides, if they showed too much I'd be more concerned than anything. Remember when they showed the first 10 minutes of SM3?

Hey, UltimateWebhead I didn't know you're a fire fighter, that's cool! You're a hero then!

The awkward moment when you realize GTA lied about cars exploding :|

On a serious note,respect to you man

SM3 spoiled a lot with trailers and numerous amounts of preview clips...all of which I made the mistake of watching.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Thanks man, but honestly, it's just a job. t:

Are you being sarcastic? lol. IMO, if they are showing too much it means they are trying to sell something that isn't any good.

Don't blame GTA lol...it's a very common Hollywood myth. I'm not sure when it started but it's certainly very false.

What the hell? How could Hollywood just.. just lie to us like that?

Wasn't being sarcastic. Can you link to the clip?

 

[Spiderdevil]

Maybe they do if you fire a bullet into the gas tank..

 

[VenomSpawn]

[Hurm...]

Remember when they showed the first 10 minutes of SM3?

I believe it was the first 6 minutes or so. It aired on NBC like yesterday's footage, if I remember correctly, after Heroes.

[bunk]

Releasing clips is a lot more common now. It doesn't really indicate that the movie is weak; it can actually be the opposite. Keep in mind the prologue and other clips released for TDK. It can also be a sign of confidence from the studio. Either watch the clip or don't, but I wouldn't over think it.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Haha! No. Gasoline will not cause an explosion. It may rapidly set on fire causing a quick flare up but it will not create an explosion.

 

[Drummerdude7]

It's like the whole "fire a bullet into a propane tank and it will explode"

They busted that on mythbusters. The only way you could do that is if your gun has incendiary rounds...but Hollywood continues the trend. Some things just look cool despite the lack of realism and I'm willing to turn my brain off for that ;-)

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I tried searching youtube for it but no luck. Sorry.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Cars can, on rare occasion “explode”, but it’s certainly not in the shrapnel-throwing, mushroom-cloud explosions seen in movies. Its more so a momentary burst of flame and heat when the flames reach an accelerant or from a compartment’s structure failing due to the expanding gases inside. Tires and some bumpers have been known to "explode" as well.

The "explosion" happens twice in this video. Nothing remarkable like in the movies, but still not something a little kid would want to be in.

Cool, but I am a super cop from the future

No but seriously, pretty cool! t:
