How many times have you asked yourself while watching some phenomenal stunt in an action movie, or some amazing technological achievement in a science fiction movie: is that possible, or could that really happen? Well, with a rudimentary knowledge of some basic physics, and a sense of humor, you can answer many of these questions yourself. Why not use film scenes as a springboard into learning fundamental principles of physics? And we need to hold the movies accountable when they cross over from the realm of the maybe possible, to the completely, insultingly, ridiculous. That's what Hollywood Movie Physics is all about.
