SWERVE - Fairlane BARREL-ROLL stunt crash

SeanBarracudA · 13-06-2012, 04:48 PM

SWERVE is a new movie in cinemas (limited release) which gets the ball rolling by blowing up a Saab convertible and sending a Ford Fairlane Ghia in to a spectacular barrel roll stunt crash! Man that car got some serious hang-time! I've got some amazing views from 6 different cameras (2 of which were strapped inside the car!)

See the trailer here: www.swervefeaturefilm.com

I edited this film and my Dad wrote and directed it. It's got Jason Clarke (from Death Race! ahah, and Gatsby and a whole bunch of other American films), Emma Booth (Underbelly), David Lyons (E.R), Vince Colosimo and Travis McMahon. It's a wicked fun ride, a good solid thriller.

I urge you all to get out and see it while it's at the cinemas and help support Aussie films. It came out last week and needs more bums on seats.
Get on facebook too www.facebook.com/swervefeaturefilm. Let me know what you's think

Just watched the trailer.

Looks really great.

Cheers man, it was a hell of a stunt. Ya don't see many like that anymore. It was fitted with an interior roll-cage, doors were wired shut, then it was driven by a stunt driver off a ramp at 80kmph!. We blew up the Saab on one day and rolled the Fairlane the next. It was an epic week!

You killed a SAAB ??

Geez, you could have used a Commodore or Astra!

My Dad had a Saab 9'3 turbo which had a manufacturer fault sludge problem and needed a new engine. Then after that the turbo blew and spat metal fragments all through the new one. It's all repaired now (after thousands of dollars), but I think he got his revenge on the Saab company by blowing one up - immortalized in cinema! It's a cracker of an explosion too!

The SAAB??? Seriously?? GM already killed it last year!!! Who cares?? I'm more worried the AU fairlane they killed, spewin!!! Although i always wonder what a boat/limo looks like when doing a barrel roll in the air!!!

Look like an awesome movie!!! Interesting story line and great aussie actors. When is the release date???

They were probably able to drive it home again after the film shoot...

It was a mercy killing. My wife used to own an identical convertible model as shown in the clip. I was praying it was hers.

were you only allowed to destroy cars that don't get made anymore or something

that being said, looks like a good movie

Riksta · 13-06-2012, 05:19 PM

Doesn't look too bad at all, looks like the kind of thing I'd enjoy.

Might see if I can convince a bunch of mates to come see it.

NickosBF2XRT · 13-06-2012, 05:23 PM

Thats awsome! Might have to look at seeing this one. Some fairly big aussie names too!

RedHotGT · 13-06-2012, 05:31 PM

Great Action Shot!

For some reason it kind of reminds me of this:

A boat in some serious peril

on another thought.. Whats the handbrake cable and IRS like?

bobwm · 14-06-2012, 02:45 PM

I actually saw the trailer for this a few weeks ago and was thinking I would go and see it, but then I was on a Qantas flight last week and it was already available there...

Seems like it shouldn't be available on a flight while still in cinemas?

Aussie movies are really good these days.

The Big Steal is also good.

Haha classic pic! We could blow up and barrel roll whatever cars we wanted, but the Fairlane and Saab were classy enough without being too expensive. We had 2 of each.

I wanted to buy the un-crashed Fairlane after the shoot to replace my AU Forte (extractors, hawk, rims, low etc.) but decided against it and saved my dosh.

It probably wont be on at cinemas for too much longer, so if you wanna see it, get along to it quick, Aussie films get a really bum deal and are usually over-run by the U.S. films in a couple of weeks. Here's where it's showing: www.swervefeaturefilm.com/screenings.html

I think you killed a car I'm looking to purchase. :(

Couldn't it have been a Statesman?

Nice one Sean..getting the word out.
Just so you all know Sean is a super talented editor here in Sadelaide who usually spends his time working on films like Potter, hunger Games, Green Lantern etc...

Hope the film pays off dude.

Jim Goose · 13-06-2012, 07:21 PM

Its good to see the aussie film industry is still alive and well !

jaydee · 13-06-2012, 10:43 PM

Looks pretty good, see the cop is the bad guy as usual, seems to be the way in most films these days, doesn't leave much room for trying to guess who the bad guy might be.
Good to see proper prangs too, not that hollywood stuff where a car blows up and flys straight up in the air.
Hope the Bronco doesn't get trashed.

Scott · 13-06-2012, 11:16 PM

Looks great. Spoiler alert - a Terri would find a way out :p
