[@keelanbarron928]

Maybe, but the idea that the "improvised" scene wasn't improvised kind of ruins the scene for me.

[@DelusionalInsider]

@@keelanbarron928 how?? He would of been insane to stay in character...I dont think anyone would of appreciated that. It shows how good of an actor he is..and how good of a director Nolan is. So it could ruin it if only you are a 12 year old.

@@DelusionalInsider "he would of been insane to stay in character"....for a actor who is playing the JOKER! (Also, I'm sure that heath ledger could've done it.)

There's a video out there from the actual guy who designed the truck flip. He explains his time frame because he only had a set amount of time to figure this out.and used like super hydraulic pistons on the back end of the semi to get it to flip like that. It's a good watch

I read an article once about the "pencil trick." Apparently getting a pencil shoved into your skull via eye socket has happened a few times, but the victims turn out alright. It's usually something that happens while really really...really drunk, and you wake up with a splitting headache and a weird mark around your eye. The pencil doesn't actually penetrate into the brain, I guess your eye just gets shoved out of the way of it...? Ewww.

[@keithmichael112]

I just have to share my one claim to coolness. I was there, walking to a bus stop on my way home from evening class (about 10pm). I was crossing Lasalle st in front of a baracade, when suddenly I saw what looked like a crate pop up above the 8ft barricade, followed by a very loud crash. It terrified me and I didn't know what it was until I went to see the movie later that year.

They flipped the truck using an air cannon. Spielberg did the same thing in "Raiders." As the truck flips, you can see the mist from the cannon shooting out the bottom. As the compressed air expands, it cools very quickly and condenses the moisture in the air around it.

[@Thatsmahnut]

It was a piston under the truck that caused it to do the entire flip. And the driver stayed inside the truck during the stunt

At like 3AM we spend about 20 minutes digging it out of the snow to get it in the building to load it up for deliveries when a guy across the street yells from his porch, "You guys need some help getting unstuck?" Thinking how nice he is to offer help I yelled back, "sure, if it's no trouble!" He said, "no trouble at all, I'll help dig you guys out for $10" "On second thought, no thanks. We're good" I may also need to mention that we worked in the bad part of town and that guy on his porch at that hour was shady AF!

Fun fact this film was filmed in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and at the time the Pittsburgh Penguins where playing at the Mellon Arena that was about to be demolished and Christopher Nolan offered the same deal to Pittsburgh that he will demolish the building as long as you can film it but Pittsburgh denied his request due to union rights or a contract that was already with somebody else or something.
