Factual error: Although it's a commonly used movie trope, cutting the brake lines on a bus would not produce the effect seen in the movie. Buses use air brakes, which by design, can operate even with substantial loss of pressure and often engage automatically if there is too much pressure loss.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Directed by: Destin Daniel Cretton
Starring: Tony Chiu-Wai Leung, Awkwafina, Simu Liu
Continuity mistake: The right side mirror on the car is broken off by a tree in the maze, then returns. (01:06:20)

Trivia: After the ending credits role, stay tuned for a scene extra with Bruce Banner and Captain Marvel as they try to decipher the origin of the homing beacon the 10 rings are giving off.
Trivia: In Shang-Chi's apartment, there is a poster for the 2004 film "Kung Fu Hustle." Wah Yuen, who plays Master Guang Bo, played the landlord in that film.

Suggested correction: I don't know what air brakes you have used but the very nature of air brakes means that low pressure means they can't work. If you have no pressure in them, how are you supposed to press the brakes? I have personally driven hundreds of vehicles with air brakes (I am a truck driver by trade) and can tell you this is a fact. All that happens when air brakes lose pressure is a warning light on the dash and an alarm sounding in the cab, one must manually slow down the vehicle at that point.
I respect the fact that you drive a truck, but my dad has been a master mechanic for more than 50 years and he is the one who pointed this out to me. Depending on the system, there are various fail-safe systems that will engage the brakes during an emergency loss of pressure. Plus, a simple Google search led me to several examples of these systems.
