No Tigers evident in Commando. Probably two Alpines, though. If you look
carefully at the second parking garage sequence as Arnold is backing up,
you'll notice what looks like an open exhaust protruding from just in back of
the PASSENGER side front wheelwell. (A rotary conversion perhaps?) It
doesn't show up on other shots.
In the crash, the movie makers employed a common trick to "extend" the crash
by simply not editing the two different angle shots correctly and repeating
part of the same sequence. You see it in a lot of cheapo action-movie
explosions.
Notice the even worse editing and continuity at the very end of the scene,
where the driver's side of the Porsche goes from crumpled back to clean as
Arnold drives off.
If there wasn't a Sunbeam in it, would anyone pay to watch this?
