5 Of Hollywood’s Most Unrealistic Depictions Of Tanks

“The Fast and the Furious” might have began as a street-level crime story, however because the franchise has progressed, they’ve primarily grow to be science-fiction or superhero films with none form of tether to the actual world within the slightest. Even with “2 Fast 2 Furious,” directed by the late, nice John Singleton, it was stylistically taking its automotive antics into cartoon land, and by the point we get to “Fast Five,” all bets are off.

Our first of two tank sequences from the “Fast Saga” comes from “Fast & Furious 6,” through which Luke Evans’ Owen Shaw unleashes a tank on the franchise’s principal crew in a high-speed freeway chase sequence. In the world of “Fast & Furious,” this scene makes complete sense, but it surely might by no means occur in actual life. Just from the introduction of the tank, accuracy is out the window. The tank makes its approach into the chase by bursting out of a truck that has been carrying it.

Tanks are huge, and when your automobile weighs a ton (or dozens of tons within the case of tanks), acceleration goes to take a while. Even in your regular automotive, you are not going to have the ability to go from zero to 60 mph in a millisecond, but in “Fast & Furious 6,” a huge tank can do this with no drawback, to not point out sustain with a caravan of high-performance muscle vehicles. A really enjoyable motion sequence that might by no means occur.
