Here's some car trivia for Apollo 13: - at one point we see Jim Lovell with his wife in a very sporty car, a Corvette Stingray. Later we also see that Ken Mattingly drives the same model (though in a different color). In real life many astronauts did, in fact, drive Corvettes, thanks to a deal between NASA and General Motors; astronauts were after all some of the biggest influencers of their time 😁 I didn't spot any Batmobiles in the video, but here's a bonus Batfact: Out of all the Batmobiles made for movies, most were barely able to move at all, let alone perform any fancy stunts. The exception is Christopher Nolan's "Tumbler", which was built as a stunt vehicle from the ground up by Chris Corbould & his crew, with a V8 Chevy engine & functional "floating" steering, and driven by stunt driver George Cottle, who in a "making of" documentary claimed that stunts like the tunnel chase were performed at 60-70 miles per hour. - oh, and another Batman car fact: Fast driving scenes were captured using a camera rig nicknamed "The Ultimate Arm", basically a motor-controlled, gyro-stabilized camera crane mounted on a Mercedes SUV driven by a stunt driver. Another car I didn't see, but which is probably there, is Sonny Crockett's black sports car from "Miami Vice" - this car is a bit curious; it's supposed to be a Ferrari Daytona Spider, but for some reason they couldn't get one, so the car we see on the show is a replica. In a similar vein, the Porsche Speedster belonging to Reggie Hammond in "48Hrs" is also a replica. The Aston Martin we see crash & roll in "Casino Royale", on the other hand, is real - a number of these wildly expensive cars were provided by the manufacturer, and were all destroyed. Because the car is built for high speed, the stunt team couldn't get it to roll using a ramp like it's usually done; the cars kept landing on their wheels instead of flipping over. In the end they had to use the same trick used to flip over the truck ostensibly carrying Marion in "Raiders"; a CO2 cannon which shoots a piston out the bottom of the car, pushing it up & over like a pogo stick. The result was a spectacular seven barrel rolls, two more than the previous record - and yes, there was a stunt driver inside the car! 😱 An even bigger CO2 cannon was used in the Nolan Batman sequel, for flipping over an entire semi truck the long way - no, it wasn't CGI, that was a real truck! BTW, speaking of truck stunts, the first skidding "hand brake" turn performed with a bus for a movie was for the opening chase in "Beverly Hills Cop". Not a car bonus fact, but: Hero props of both the "Book of the Dead" and the matching "Book of the Living" from The Mummy were sold to collectors by Propstore of London, the latter just last year, in 2024 - this is not to say that the one on display at Universal isn't real, of course; propmakers always make at least two copies of important props, often more, just in case an accident happens (which is often the case).
The Batman trilogy wasn't produced by Universal, but the Batmobiles are at display at Warner Bros. We got a close-up look at one of the Aston Martin DBS picture cars from Casino Royale in the Petersen Automotive Museum videos, and yes - it was severely damaged. The seven-times-roll set a new Guinness World Record for the most cannon rolls ever completed in a car. And yes, to get the Aston Martin to roll, the production team fitted it with an air cannon which used compressed nitrogen gas to fire a ram underneath the car.
