Trying to turn I5 into the autobahn with a 140 mph bus lane would result in so much chaos and destruction that honestly I'm all for it.

There is 0 chance that the average American drivers liscense having brain could comprehend this concept.

Most people can't even keep an actually reasonable following distance, or understand the concept of a passing lane.

This is a literally comically stupid idea, its a B movie plot element from an 80s scifi movie.

Fuck it -> Do it for the lols.

    So... that shot actually largely did rely on the laws of physics.

    They really did jump a bus.

    They just CGI'd out the ramp that got the bus's nose up, and CGI'd out part of the landing zone, to make up a jumped gap that looked more impressive.

    This was back before you could just CGI generate an entire scene like this... you had to actually do a lot of it for real.

    See if you can spot which exact shots/cuts/parts of shots are real, and which are fake, in that sequence.
