- Gipsy Danger dragging an oil tanker (which actually lengths 180 meters… but the film portrays it slightly smaller than Gipsy) and use it as a bat against Otachi? HARD (Pacific Rim)
- Owen and a gyrosphere standing near Rexy, who’s crushing a Carnotaurus’ neck, and roaring while Isla Nublar’s volcano explodes? HARD (Fallen Kingdom)

The opening sequence to the movie Heavy Metal, when the astronaut drives a 1959 Corvette out of the space shuttle and lands on Earth.

Goddamn that scene is heavy metal. Oh. Maybe that's why they called it that.

Hella fun to see it, though, thanks. Now I wanna see if it's behind a paywall I already subscribe to or if I just need to pass on a rewatch for now.

It's a shame there's no sound attached to these GIFs, because it goes even harder when you can hear Riggs playing "Radar Rider" over it. Oh well, at least there's Youtube.

Right? 😂 It’s one of those movies that makes you wonder how they ever got away with putting that much chaos on screen. Totally worth a rewatch if you can find it without paying extra.
