Need for Speed (2014)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Scott Waugh
Starring: Dominic Cooper, Aaron Paul, Dakota Johnson, Imogen Poots, Kid Cudi
Continuity mistake: When Toby and Anita are talking in San Francisco, she says she knows Dino was there the night her brother died. It was broad daylight when Pete died. (00:33:35 - 01:34:15)
Tobey Marshall: I do not fear, for you are with me. All those who defied me, shall be ashamed and disgraced. Those who wage war against me, shall perish. I will find strength, find guidance, and I will triumph.
Question: Near the end a cop rigs his car up ahead of the racers with a baton holding down the accelerator. As the racers came by he put his car into drive, launching it into them. It's this an actual legit police technique? Wouldn't it be just as effective, if not more, had he simply parked it across the road? (Small road with trees on both side).

Answer: I agree with Ssiscool though I am not a cop either. This method is way too drastic and risky, I doubt that any police would use such uncontrollable and destructive force to simply stop a suspect while they could just install spike strips or - as suggested by the aforementioned - place a proper road block, giving a chance to the offenders to stop in time and surrender.
