Why the fuck is this on epicfail?

What really is to "fail" in this day and age on the internet?

[–]Stretchicles -4 points-3 points ago

Because it is a rare WIN

Hows he going to notice the looks he gets?

not sure if driving from back seat, or wearing front seat

[–]keozen 30 points31 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He's wearing the front seat.

For context the shot is from the "Making of" documentary from the Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" when they are explaining how they filmed all the shots of Bond's remote control BMW. This is how they did it.

So wait... Mythbusters makes actual remotely-controlled cars, but a hundred-million dollar Bond film sews a guy into the front seat? I don't know what I'm trying to say here, but I find that hilarious.

[–]keozen 5 points6 points ago

as IFUCKINLOVEMETH pointed out, the mythbusters cars aren't that good at precision driving. The kind of stunts they needed the car to do they pretty much needed a stunt driver in control with no control lag.

[–]UndercoverFratBoy 0 points1 point ago

Yea, I had thought about that, see my reply to IFLM.

[–]IFUCKINGLOVEMETH 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They didn't control those cars very well. And they didn't need to keep the car safe and in shape for multiple takes and scenes.

[–]UndercoverFratBoy 1 point2 points ago

I really just wanted to point it out because it was making me laugh. I did think about that, but was then considering the hundred other camera tricks that could be done to not show a driver during complex maneuvers. I'm sure sewing a dude into the seat is the safest, best way to pull this off... Especially considering the number of demolished fences throughout the years of shooting Mythbusters. I mean, imagine having to worry about James Bond around your out of control full size RC car.

[–]Lives 3 points4 points ago

Must be really awkward for Bond when he isn't driving remotely.

Edit-oops spelling

[–]aryst0krat 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So what you're saying is, he's wearing... carmouflage.

[–]Bob_Munden 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But how could he touch the pedals if he was driving from the back seat?

[–]PooPooDooDoo 29 points30 points ago

Hightower.

[–]karmalizing 10 points11 points ago

He's actually underneath the car.

[–]real_nice_guy 3 points4 points ago

this explanation makes the most sense to me.

[–]Furiousmoe 6 points7 points ago

... and all the accidents you cause.

[–]Reddit_Delenda_Est 17 points18 points ago

Well that is one way to kill your peripheral vision.

This is how they made KITT from Knight Rider look like there was no driver.

I believe that this is how the remote control Car driving scene from Tomorrow Never Dies was handled.

Keep your head low, don't make any obvious comments... and people won't know that you've just reposted.

Is it just me or is the picture kind of oxymoronic? It says "Epic Fail" down in the corner, but then there's a giant "WIN" off to the right.

I'M GETTING MIXED SIGNALS.

How can you see the looks if you have to face forward??

i want to do that. then speed and see if i can get out of a ticket by sitting still

Also great for those times when you want a car thief to sit in your lap.

In checkpoint Charlie museum in Berlin, I've seen pictures of hiding places to cross the border to west germany. Like hiding between two carved up kayaks on the roof...

One of them made me think of that: a guy crossed the border while hiding INSIDE the seat cushion.

I can't find the picture though, but it kind of looked like that.

You can also expect a ticket. Many states have laws regarding obstructions to your peripheral vision, for good reason. A mask like that would definitely be obstructive.

My buddy and I roll around in his silver Honda Civic (chick car) and he wears a long blonde wig. When he turns and looks at the guys faces who are curious as to what this girl must look like, it is priceless. And of course he can straight face with the best of them.

I like where posting "this makes me laugh every time" automatically excuses blatant reposts.

Admittedly a repost. Just thought it would brighten a day on which snakes emerging from someone's anus make the front page.

People sure seem to get upset about a repost. If reddit was 100% new material I think it'd be pretty slim pickins.

I wonder if I'll lose to kharma when I delete it, or will I keep my ill-gotten gains?

[–]KingBooRadley -1 points0 points ago

Huh? looks like i kept the kharma. Now where can I spend 1000 units?
