OT: Review: Baby Driver was lots of fun.

Just returned from Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver." Much better than I though it might be. Don't expect realistic. Can't imagine how many cars were wrecked to make it. Would love to find comments from the real drivers on how many takes some of the sequences required.  "In scene 248, 40 sets of tire sidewalls ripped apart..." Massive gun shot wounds to mere mortals may have little more effect than on the Terminator. Etc. Stylish, extensively tense, will true love prevail?

    Spent some time reading about the production after I posted. Actually, almost all completely real, filmed in and around Atlanta. Evidently the hardest driving was done by 1 guy, 70 miles an hour down alleys, etc. There's a sequence where the car is driving on a slanted wall, didn't think it could be real, but nope. Many takes. The shot down the alley was from a drone 'cause it was too dangerous for a film crew to be near.

    Most everything was staged so that the motion would sync with old tune tunes. Know the old crazy/goofy "Hocus Pocus" by the Dutch band Focus?  Think metal mixed with accordion.  All the cuts fit into the original record timing. Completely manic.
