During the 7:00pm showing at the six-theater multiplex, a white sport utility vehicle smashed through a wall of the theater while the audience was watching the movie. :lol: -Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovaltine Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 That reminds me of the end of Tom Hanks' Batchelor Party with the Ford School bus. That is so true!!!! I love that movie, and that IS a great scene! You never hear Hanks bragging about being in that movie, but I think it was one of his best efforts ever. At least from a hilarity aspect. Here are some nuggets from the movie to stoke your memories: http://www.bachelorpartymovie.com/multimedia.html http://www.bachelorpartymovie.com/audio.html http://www.bachelorpartymovie.com/video.html -Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy must've been FLYING There isn't any damage on the Explorer because he/she didn't hit anything!! Look at the debri, nothing but some siding maybe ply wood and metal straps. That is one flimsy theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Are we sure that wasn't the movie screen? Otherwise that's one flimsy theater, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Are we sure that wasn't the movie screen? Otherwise that's one flimsy theater, yeah. IF that was the movie screen, then my guess is the theater is owned by a chiropractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note how far the vehicle penetrated the theater in the one shot. It actually came in OVER the seats! -Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparcEE Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Probable causes: 1) Firestone tires 2) inherently unsafe vehicle dynamics Anyways probably end up suing FoMoCo since it has to be a design issue. SparcEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
