As opposed to the British people driving around trying to piss the local people off, right?
Public service broadcasting at its finest :britain:
That was awesome. I love Top Gear.

I never knew until now that the destruction from hurricane Katrina was still there, holy shit.

This was shot like 2 years ago. Maybe the destruction is still there, I really have no idea.

[QUOTE=Idiot;23745095]You'd have to be incredibly stupid to think it's not scripted.
Like this video posted a few posts up:

So the idea is that one guy in a car will race two guys who are just running. It's interesting because while the guy in the car has an advantage of speed, the runners have the advantage of not having to stick to the roads.
Oh wait, actually it's not interesting at all because they're not even having a real race. And that should be obvious. All they did was pick some good spots to do parkour randomly around the city and filmed them, they likely were not heading to the building at all in most of the shots you see. Then at a different time they put cameras in the guys car and he drove from one place to another while talking about the car and saying scripted bits to make it seems like a real race.
And since the race is fake, all you're left with is shitty shots of two guys doing parkour(nothing special) and one guy driving around without purpose talking about the car he's in(boring)
The whole bit is just an excuse to show parkour and try to attract that crowd and show something different from what they usually do.[/QUOTE]
You can't say that because not only do you obviously not watch Top Gear frequently and therefore have no knowledge that they do these kinds of races ALL the time, as you don't live in Liverpool either to assume they're not actually taking a logical straightforward path, so you're just pulling stuff out of your ass.
Also, note from when they raced a GTR against the public transport network across Japan, people like you were saying "Fake!1!!!111":
"...It is extremely exciting. I think the best film we've ever made. Unfortunately, it will be spoiled because I shall have to spend the next few weeks explaining how these races are filmed to a bunch of people who imagine they're staged, scripted and pre-ordained. Of course, the routes are carefully planned so the result will be close but it is impossible to guess what will actually happen after the flag drops. You may notice if you watch carefully, the on board cameras in the GTR were flickering red and green. But did we stop to fix them? Did we hell as like..." Jeremy Clarkson
Not everything is scripted obviously, but do you honestly think that every crazy thing that occurs on the show happens by chance?
[QUOTE=Wii60;23723649]it's funny because i live in a part of town full of people like this
hurray south jacksonville[/QUOTE]
jacksonville isnt THAT bad, a lot of people up north come down there
Someone should use the remains from hurricane Katrina for a zombie movie.
The south fucking scares me.
[QUOTE=saucekeg;23760172]jacksonville isnt THAT bad, a lot of people up north come down there[/QUOTE]
I beg to differ good sir. But the most fucked up thing in Jacksonville is the roads. I swear to god they have been working on the same fucking piece of interstate for six years.

Most of it is cleaned up now, it's a pretty old clip.

Irrelevant.
[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;23757950]as you don't live in Liverpool either to assume they're not actually taking a logical straightforward path[/QUOTE]
This sentence makes little sense.
[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;23757950]so you're just pulling stuff out of your ass.[/QUOTE]
Do you really think they set up 50 different camera crews along the path of the traceurs so they could get all those shots?
And the end bit where they are on top of the building and he's all surprised is obviously scripted.

The new Colony show takes place in an abandoned area of a city hit by Katrina.

It's not as bad as it is in this anymore. This was filmed one year after the Hurricane and they make it sound like it's easy to demolish and rebuild basically an entire city in a year. While signs of Katrina probably still remain on the outskirts, the marjoirty of the city has bounced back by now.

You have no idea what you're talking about do you
If you did a little research you'd find out how they do it but no, you just stay in this thread and for uneducated opinions
