You will have come away from the cinema thinking, ‘how hard can it be?'
After all, you just need a proper run-up, an understanding of ‘gravity' and steel-plated genitals, right?
Wrong. Oh, very, very wrong. More wrong than Dr Wrongington who lives in Wrong Street, Wrongchester, WR0 NG.
A BMW X5 does not a good barrel-rolling car make. You want evidence? Behold, the dim-witted majesty of shouting out ‘watch this...'
BMW X5 barrel roll…fails
Wannabe Bond attempts barrel roll in two-tonne SUV. Misunderstands laws of physics…
