The Transporter 2 (2005)

Corrected entry: When Frank rolls his car in mid-air to tear the bomb off with the crane hook, this is totally unreal. The car weighs much more than the crane hook, so it would just bounce the crane hook out of the way. This trick would only work if the crane hook was welded solidly to the jib.

Correction: First of all, the stunt is in its entirety ridiculously impossible. Ironically, the specific part that this entry takes issue with is actually feasible. The hook is only snagging the bomb, not the car, so it doesn't matter if the hook has more mass than the car; it just needs to have more mass than the bomb.
