With the help of undercover FBI agent and O&rsquo;Connor&rsquo;s love interest Monica Fuentes, our daredevil heroes were able to apprehend Verona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This stunt was shot in three phases and featured practical special effects, including using a different car for each phase. The Fast and Furious 2 cast and crew got to launch one car into the sea during the first phase, crane another vehicle through the air in the second phase, and pre-thrashed a third for use in the last phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Casino Royale (2006): Record-Breaking Barrel Roll<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/casino-royale-record-breaking-barrel-roll-scene-1024x576.png\" alt=\"casino royale record breaking barrel roll scene\" class=\"wp-image-110570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/casino-royale-record-breaking-barrel-roll-scene-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/casino-royale-record-breaking-barrel-roll-scene-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/casino-royale-record-breaking-barrel-roll-scene-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/casino-royale-record-breaking-barrel-roll-scene-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/casino-royale-record-breaking-barrel-roll-scene-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/casino-royale-record-breaking-barrel-roll-scene.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">During his chase, Bond was confronted by a hogtied Vesper in the middle of the road, which caused him to swerve and flip his car in the process.

Packed with ridiculous stunts and an amazing cast, the franchise easily became a cult classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to three years later, John Wick: Chapter 2 garnered even more fans with its action-filled scenes and the charisma Keanu Reeves has brought to his character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the franchise&rsquo;s second installment, the first five minutes easily turned into an all-time favorite with John Wick reuniting with his beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/vehicle\/1969\/Ford\/Mustang\/Boss_429\/8_Cyl_7-dot-0L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ford Mustang Boss 429\">Ford Mustang Boss 429<\/a> (or Mach 1, depending on who you ask).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drifting Ford Mustang was a sight to behold in those first few minutes, especially when John Wick kicked it in reverse and went crazy all over the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017 Movie) Official Clip - 'Car Chase&rsquo;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wp3EE71PINI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One scene, though, was a cut above the rest.
