Screw this. This whole thing is rigged. I’m going to start my own awards show, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the awards show. ---

I can’t find a clip of it but there was also an episode of LOST where Juliet’s ex-husband steps in front of a bus. And it is just as well done as the scene that **Amp** linked to. ---

I’m sure quite a few of those were genuine collisions caught on surveillance cameras, but there were also some great effects crashes. ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > This one is excellent. If I was a nitpicker, I’d point out that it’s not a movie, but WTF, let’s put it in among the finalists. Plus, some bonus points for hitting two pedestrians at once. Hey! The OP didn’t specify “movie”. Your example was from a movie, but you didn’t say that nominations had to be from a movie. 😛🙂 ---

Well (huff!)! I was reading what I meant to write in the OP, not what I literally wrote. I’m sorry you’re not capable of that. 😛 ---

Also not from a film… [link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipnJbSnmc24). ---

And it is just as well done as the scene that **Amp** linked to. How LOST could these people be if two of them were hit by buses? ---

In _Dodgeball_, Coach O’Houlihan says if you can dodge traffic you can dodge a ball. Our friend Gordon (Stephen Root) can’t dodge traffic. (…and I can’t find video of the scene ☹ ) ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > [“Dreamcatcher” by Stephen King](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL0Vtb-dJ70&feature=related) was a terrible movie, but the car collision scene shocked the shit out of me the first time I saw it, and even when I knew it was coming looking for it to link here, it still shocked me (it starts at about 1:45). Agreed. (I don’t like most movie versions of SK’s books.) This one is good, from The Devil’s Rejects. Especially gory. 😛 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHYFTZmDvL0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHYFTZmDvL0) ---

> [@AuntiePam](#): > > [This one from Breaking Bad](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RB8t0CCZB4&feature=more_related) is pretty good. The one I thought of first, too. Hard to top! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/special-fx-best-car-hitting-pedestrian-scene/550780.md?page=1)
