Silliest, most-pointless stunt candidate:
In a John Wayne movie (Big Jake?) wherein he is a Chicago police detective
in England, an E-Type fixed-head is driven off a pier. Dumb part: While
the car is in mid-air, the hatch flies open. Why? Because somebody thought
it would look cool, I guess. It must have taken a bit of engineering and
fabrication to create something that is hard to believe would be natural
occurrence.
