14) Speed Jumps the Gap

There is no defending this stunt on a physics level. It’s not just implausible that the bus jumps a 50-foot gap in the freeway, it’s downright magical: the bus actually lifts itself up as it crests the end of the road. This stunt took three days, as many attempts, and a crushed camera to complete, but it’s absolutely worth it. Unlike Superman, you won’t leave Speed believing a bus can fly, but as a mid-movie climax, it’s a stunning display of a metallic body in motion. Toast with: a Tom and Jerry to help you swallow the cartoon logic.
