Movie Nut

Escape From L.A. (1996)

Corrected entry: When surrounded by Cuervo's men, Snake calls for Bangkok Rules. He tosses up the can, shoots the guys down, and the can hits the ground. When it does, it rolls like a regular can, but then it rights itself and sits open end up. This defies the laws of physics. It was either pulled, set with magnets, or it was very bad CG. (00:34:45)

Movie Nut

Correction: The can lands, but does not 'roll' as stated. It bounces a couple of times, before landing upright. While it certainly does look like an unnatural movement, in slo-mo, you can see it hitting the lip on the ground and bouncing back/upright. It doesn't quite look real, but it is possible (not likely, but 'possible') that by chance, the can actually moved like that.
