Things I learned from watching Gone in Sixty Seconds

1) In any movie with a car chase set in LA there is an easy way for a car to drive onto the concrete bed of the LA River from an adjacent street.

2) There will always be a slow moving trash truck or parked delivery van blocking the way.

3) One of the good guys knows how to operate a crane, à la James Bond, and the bad guys never see or hear it coming.

4) A bad guy will fall through a skylight (only this time not on some restaurant patrons' table.)

5) One or more police cars will crash into a stationary object, exhibiting poor driving skills that you or I would never be guilty of.

6) There will be an out-of-control missile, in this case a pressurized tank, that will bounce off objects like a pinball.

17. It's far easier to design, fabricate and glue fake prints onto your fingers than to wear a pair of latex gloves.

18. If you're going to steal a very rare sports car in LA County, do it during the daylight, during morning rush hour. Don't boost it at night and instead use the cover of dark to get the Mercedes, Escalades and Lexus models. Because there weren't tons of them on the road back in 2000.

Item # 2... I am getting very tired of movie directors putting in trucks/busses/cars pulling out in front of car chases. This stupid scene showed a trash truck pulling STRAIGHT ahead almost into a solid wall of a building. There is no reason for this truck to be doing this EXCEPT to try to make an exciting moment in the movie. BUT it is soooooo obviously wrong!!
