Need for Speed (2014)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Scott Waugh
Starring: Dominic Cooper, Aaron Paul, Dakota Johnson, Imogen Poots, Kid Cudi
Continuity mistake: When the Shelby Mustang makes the 'Grasshopper' jump, the wheels change to a completely different type when it's in the air. After it lands, the wheels change back to the original wheels.
Julia Maddon: Oh my god! Oh my god.
Tobey Marshall: Hey, hey. Look at me. Just breathe, breathe. Good. Look into my eyes. Look into my eyes. Good. What color are they?
Julia Maddon: They're really blue.
Tobey Marshall: They're really blue, good, good. They're a lot bluer than yours.
Julia Maddon: No.
Tobey Marshall: Yes they are.
Julia Maddon: They're not.
Tobey Marshall: Yes.
Julia Maddon: They're not bluer.
Tobey Marshall: Admit it.
Julia Maddon: Mine are bluer.
Trivia: In the beginning, the movie playing at the drive-in is Steve McQueen's "Bullitt", considered by many to have the best car chase scenes as well as some of the coolest cars.
Question: Near the end a cop rigs his car up ahead of the racers with a baton holding down the accelerator. As the racers came by he put his car into drive, launching it into them. It's this an actual legit police technique? Wouldn't it be just as effective, if not more, had he simply parked it across the road? (Small road with trees on both side).

Answer: I agree with Ssiscool though I am not a cop either. This method is way too drastic and risky, I doubt that any police would use such uncontrollable and destructive force to simply stop a suspect while they could just install spike strips or - as suggested by the aforementioned - place a proper road block, giving a chance to the offenders to stop in time and surrender.
