... a cavalry charge in Bollywood, of course:
Posted by Cjunk at March 14, 2010 11:49 AMHoly crap! If those PETA nutcases aren't active in friggin' India, perhaps they SHOULD be!
Posted by: Simon at March 14, 2010 12:05 PMThe editing has some rough spots :) ok, it's all roughly edited, and where is PETA while those horses are perfecting their face plants?
It's all in good fun without the moralizing of Hollywood to teach us where we've all gone wrong...
Somewhat disappointed. Was expecting a Bollywood movie, like where was the song and dance number?, not a "B" rated action sequence.
Posted by: GaryInWpg at March 14, 2010 12:09 PMAbout as good as what has been coming out of Hollywood lately.
Posted by: Altaguy at March 14, 2010 12:11 PMHoly crap is right!
I guess horses are lower caste than cows? :P
Posted by: ChrisinMB at March 14, 2010 12:11 PMGaryInWpg: Ok Ok ... here then:

marc @12:05 - Sean Penn and Harvey Weinstein and that actress with the drug habit who was in that stupid movie are your moral superiors; you should revere them accordingly.
Posted by: Black Mamba at March 14, 2010 12:28 PMHoly Jumpin Jeeps and galloping horse meat those East Indians are easly entertained. Good actors though ...
Posted by: Abe Froman at March 14, 2010 12:51 PMI felt the chase was a little short and could have used some more jumping cars and glass breakage.
Posted by: bob at March 14, 2010 1:07 PMHoly Maharaja! and a cast of millions.
Posted by: larben at March 14, 2010 1:13 PMI need to find out the secret to this process of impailing the radiator of a Jeep with an exhaust pipe to make it fly..........
There must be an aerodynamic effect I am missing.

I revere this videos hero for surviving at 1:36
Posted by: ChrisinMB at March 14, 2010 1:23 PMAs bad as any John Wayne movie......

Thinkin' kevlar cup with crumple zones.......
That's what I love about Bollywood, (aside from the music, which is earsplittingly awesome.) The action scenes are so realistical...ish. It reminds of The Lone Ranger, but with bigger production values.
Guy Caballero, with his insistence on 'one camera, one microphone, no crane shot', would never make it in Bollywood. Johnny Larue would be in his glory.
Posted by: Enkidu at March 14, 2010 1:48 PMI nearly died when that squadron of cavalry just roars out of nowhere lol.
Posted by: Junker at March 14, 2010 2:15 PMWow! Were they stunt horses or stunt/lunch horses?
Posted by: BL@KBIRD at March 14, 2010 2:19 PMI wanted to look away but couldn't..... strangely fascinating in it's absurdity.
Posted by: David at March 14, 2010 2:35 PMNo way realistic but I really enjoyed watching this. Funny as heck.
Posted by: Knacker at March 14, 2010 2:39 PMMindless violence and destruction...
Excellent! ~:D
Posted by: The Phantom at March 14, 2010 3:17 PMNot a hint of gravel burn - the dude must have a cast iron stomach and those car launching ramps just seemed to come out of no where... The gritty realism made me feel like i was right there - a cinematic milestone.
Posted by: Agent Smith at March 14, 2010 3:23 PMNot edgy enough. Did you notice how they didn't use Ford Pintos in the last sequence?
Posted by: ∞² at March 14, 2010 3:28 PMi laffed...i cried....i was sick to my stomach...
Posted by: john begley at March 14, 2010 3:29 PMIt's Bush's fault.
Posted by: 16MPG at March 14, 2010 3:32 PMTheir music is earsplittingly awesome???
My brother refers to it as sewer pipe music.
And what's with this "Flying Tatas???
Who would name a car afer the colloquial term for a women's breasts?
All that over a simple parking ticket?
Posted by: rg at March 14, 2010 4:11 PMI was fully expecting the pursing jeep to slip on the apples, or whatever fruit that was, and become air bourne or ecplode-disappointing.
Posted by: No-One at March 14, 2010 4:52 PMFlying tatas? Did Russ Meyer pack up and move to Bollywood?
Posted by: gordinkneehill at March 14, 2010 4:56 PMPersonally I enjoyed the part where horse and dude slide under the flatbed on dry pavement then ride away as if nothing happened.
Posted by: Brian M. at March 14, 2010 4:58 PMDoes he save the girl from marrying the pervert, or not?
Posted by: pok at March 14, 2010 4:58 PMOf course it goes without saying that he leaps tall buildings with a single bound, but what I want to know is where is his cape?
Posted by: Louise at March 14, 2010 5:05 PMI hope the sound effects crew gets a bonus. Plenty of work for them in just five minutes.
...and how did he and the horse get under that truck.....
Posted by: Robert in Calgary at March 14, 2010 5:58 PMWhat was the name of the movie, Balls of Iron?
Posted by: Al the frozen fish in Manitoba at March 14, 2010 6:05 PMIron Tatas!
(Hey, if it's "Mumbai", why isn't it "Mollywood"?)
Posted by: Black Mamba at March 14, 2010 6:09 PMWe had a Tata Jeep at a project in Africa - it got about 60 mpg (miles per gearbox)
Posted by: kakola at March 14, 2010 6:21 PMspaggetti western???
Posted by: GYM at March 14, 2010 6:39 PMCurry western. Yum.
Posted by: Louise at March 14, 2010 6:44 PMCJunk,
Thanks for the vid, it's a good chuckle. My wife who is from Guyana, was raised on Bollywood films and we have quite a few in the movie collection. After watching a few I swear a young couple in love being chased by Godzilla would break out in a song and dance number. The words of the song would probably go along the lines of how their love for each other will delight the taste buds of the monster as they are being chewed and their passing will improved the digestive functions of such said monster.
Believe it or not, there is a Bollywood horror flick about the reincarnation(Hindu religion angle) of an ex girlfriend who terrorizes the living boyfriend, of course one of the characters is a singer and of course there is a song and dance number. Other than that it's not a bad movie.
Oh yeah, Bollywood women, hot.
Posted by: GaryInWpg at March 14, 2010 7:00 PM"What's Better Than a Flying Tata", why a pair of tatas, eh. /rimshot
Posted by: Texas Canuck at March 14, 2010 8:13 PMCheck out the hairstyle,Trailerpark wallahs?
Posted by: nick at March 14, 2010 8:37 PMCheck out the hairstyle,Trailerpark wallahs?
Posted by: nick at March 14, 2010 8:38 PMIt was better than Avatar and the Matrix Reloaded.
Posted by: Cytotoxic at March 14, 2010 8:45 PMsyncro - no; but that's the way Rahim Jaffer feels, when he's on coke! (which he doesn't do anymore, or ever, never mind).
Posted by: Black Mamba at March 14, 2010 10:02 PMOh my goodness gracious!
But tell me, with all the Indian Police resources thrown at this guy, why didn't they just use one well-placed sniper to end the destruction?
(Oh yeah, it's a movie.)
Posted by: JJM at March 15, 2010 1:59 AMAvatar without the preaching or, any later John Wayne movie with its easily exploded dynamite.
DYNAMITE movie!
A set of bodacious tatas now has a different meaning to me.
Posted by: cal2 at March 15, 2010 1:37 PMand I thought that the Blues Brothers had the best movie chase scene ever!?!

Posted by: Jasper502 at March 15, 2010 3:47 PMI don't want anyone complaining about Jerry Bruckheimer's movies ever again. Ever.
And just think, only 18 horses and 24 children under the age of 8 were injured making the shot!
