Hitch (2005)

Corrected entry: When Sara drives away in the Mini, she doesn't have the clutch pressed down when she stamps on the gas. This isn't possible as it is a manual gear car. (01:34:35)

Correction: It is possible to physically slam a car into gear without pushing in on the clutch. It isn't recommended because it grinds the gears, which is what is happening in the scene as evidenced by the grinding sounds.

Hitch (2005)

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, when Hitch jumps on Sarah's car, she brakes and he falls off the roof. Sarah claps her hands in front of her face and gets out of the car. There is no time for her to have switched the engine off or put the car in neutral. As she gets out of the car, either the engine should still be running or the car should make a jump forward because it has a manual transmission. (01:52:15)

Ronnie Bischof

Correction: Not neccessarily. I have a manual car and everytime I brake, I automatically shift into neutral out of habit. I have found that I do this even when I am slamming on my brakes to avoid hitting something.
