Trying to turn I5 into the autobahn with a 140 mph bus lane would result in so much chaos and destruction that honestly I'm all for it.
There is 0 chance that the average American drivers liscense having brain could comprehend this concept.
Most people can't even keep an actually reasonable following distance, or understand the concept of a passing lane.
This is a literally comically stupid idea, its a B movie plot element from an 80s scifi movie.
Fuck it -> Do it for the lols.
physics need not apply
So... that shot actually largely did rely on the laws of physics.
They really did jump a bus.
They just CGI'd out the ramp that got the bus's nose up, and CGI'd out part of the landing zone, to make up a jumped gap that looked more impressive.

This was back before you could just CGI generate an entire scene like this... you had to actually do a lot of it for real.
See if you can spot which exact shots/cuts/parts of shots are real, and which are fake, in that sequence.
Trying to recall the movie but from the 70's or 60's. Something like atomic bus
Do you mean The Big Bus (1976) ?
Oh hell yes!
