The final car destroyed this release concerns the Lada Riva, which is torn in half at a quarry by two earth movers:

Do you think that Lada was already "treated" before it was pulled in half? It just seems funny how it splits right in the middle between the doors.

Yes, I would say it most likely was. This is even more evident in 2002's No Limits where a truck rams into a Montego which also conveniently splits in half.

I'm pretty sure if you pause the film as the Montego is hit, you can just see the small wheels under the car to support each half.

Why did they have to do this? It's not like those huge dump trucks couldn't tear a Lada in half.

Yes I agree, but lets be honest most of his destruction acts are fake :( The Montego is one of the worst because it is simply too obvious, and the same goes for the bar skittles segment in Top 100 Cars - in one of the shots you can clearly see that the explosion occurs before impact abundantly well. Twingoman, have you seen all of his releases as well?

Yes, I've got the whole series, although only the last two (Heaven and Hell & The Good The Bad The Ugly) are on DVD.

I think when he "shoots" the Yugo with the tank, there's probably all sorts of reasons why he couldn't have done it for real, but with some of the other destruction acts I think they just copped out. At least the Nissan Sunny one was done properly.

Do you have a favourite?

Still, whether some of them are real or not, the entertainment factor still appeals :)

No, I haven't got a particular favourite, although "Heaven & Hell" from last year is pretty good.

The Lada is rigged, you can see in the 2nd picture that the interior's been taken out
