I believe they bought surplus police cars at auction for like $400 each, this main crash scene included 60 cars, just over 100 were destroyed in the whole movie. Add some more to prep them for stunts, like reinforcing.

Given that Blues Brothers was 1980, and the effects were all real, I wonder what the budget for all those car chase and crash scenes was?

They’ve got some but not all of them, unfortunately. And it differs from movie to movie. Some have a lot of extras, others, not so many.

In the comics, at least, Sam has power over birds (he’s able to see through their eyes and command them in a limited range). He’s sort of the Aquaman of the skies.

I do remember that! I meant more specifically that I’ve never seen them actually follow through with the Sokovia Accords on screen, I guess. Like no one has been like, “No, don’t have a giant fight in Lagos, Nigeria! That’s not cool!”

When they revealed NuCap at the end, I got super mad, like almost “Seeing a Trump as Captain America poster" mad. That’s SAM’S shield, Steve gave it to HIM, man!

Lol, the Asian woman’s line about there not being a name for a parents who lose a child, is lifted word for word from Six Feet Under s01e06, when Brenda says the exact same line after hearing about the death of a 6yrs.

Bucky does have superpowers now, I believe; he’s got HYDRA’s version of the serum.

“Is that a first in the MCU, where the military not only acknowledges but jokes about national sovereignty and other countries’ agency? I’m sure someone will point out otherwise in the comments, but outside of Black Panther and Wakanda, the Avengers have tended to do what they want when it comes to other nations.”

Exactly. This job was military not Avengers stuff. I don’t get how one would not pick that up.

Yeah. Once they dove into the canyon and yet the wing suits just kept flying and flying and flying I thought it started to get a little ridiculous. It was also never clear to me how many bad guys there were. It seemed like more kept appearing on the plane and in suits.

The opening action scene went from pretty badass to surprisingly dull once it became a CG fest where the helicopters and even the canyon walls all had a plastic texture.

Oh yeah the prevailing view from Twitter is that new Cap looks like Carl Fredricksen

Also Tripp from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. said that his grand father was one of the Howling Commandos. Sadly we never had it confirmed which one it was. Gabe Jones was the obvious choice, but I’d have liked the randomness of it being Dum Dum.

What was confusing about the Switzerland sequence? Torres had said he’d keep tabs on the Flag Smashers online presence, which led him to an apparent flash mob to cover a bank heist. I was only half paying attention through the sequence and it made sense.

honestly though, I dont think being a star in this franchise would have helped his career with either cut.

Re: Stray Observations - 

“Q: Into The Storm doesn’t overly sympathize with Q supporters nor does it simply sneer at the gullible. It’s a delicate balance that Hoback successfully maintains throughout the documentary.”

It makes stupid people feel smart. That’s probably the appeal for many of them. 

Which reminds me, what if someday the boys have to participate in an ancestry project for school?
