This video segment details the process of executing a car flip stunt, emphasizing the cinematic approach taken to capture the incident. The stunt coordinator, Terry Jackson, is highlighted for his role. The setup involves strategically placing the car and cameras before the stunt driver initiates the maneuver. The car is driven down a road at approximately 50-60 mph and then handbraked into a turn to achieve a sideways motion. At a specific moment, a button is pressed, triggering a cannon mechanism beneath the car, which then propels the vehicle into a flip. The goal was to immerse the camera within the action of the stunt.

Cinerama

Flipping a car has been done plenty of times in movies. We wanted with that one to really have the camera go into the incident with the stunt.

Terry Jackson, fantastic La stunt guy, drives down the end of the road. We set up where we want it to flip, put all the deadly where we want, decide where we're going to put the cameras. And then he drives down the road at about 50 or 60.

I think what you do is you handbrake the car into a turn so you get the sideways on. And at a certain moment, you press a button and it finds a cannon out the bottom of the car which then flips the car over.
