Well, I kind of forgive that because they were just hiding the face of the stunt double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in Rambo First Blood, the Yamahaha XT250 somehow becomes a 2-stroke partway though the film. That&#8217;s not really forgivable, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about, in Michael (lens flare) Bay&#8217;s first Transformers film where the Aprilia RSV1000-R somehow takes on the audio qualities of an inline four in the soundtrack? That&#8217;s just bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the infamously famous Mission Impossible double=bill cockup. In Mission Impossible Fallout the BMW R9T (a flat twin) somehow becomes an inline 4 on the soundtrack. And in Mission Impossible 2 where, during the course of a bike-to-bike chase, the Triumph&#8217;s tyres switch from road to off-road a couple of times which is a truly marvellous achievement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep a reasonably keen eye and ear on motorbikes in films and the TV, you&#8217;d kind of expect that, really.
