I was cracking up during that scene, especially how they built it up with suspense and serious music where you think he is making something important and sinister like some secret weapon and then you finally see what it is, totally unexpected. The Cohen Brothers due outrageous shocking stuff like that so well and to such great effect. I love how Clooney explains how it was pretty cheap to make and everything was not too expensive aside from the *****, "Those things are pretty expensive". Then he gets mad and starts going crazy and beating it up and destroying his "project" which was hilarious when the ***** goes flying out.

Ahhh Cmon u ruined it for others that dint see it








But when Cloony calls his wife and tells her he misses her, 2nd fav part next to the chair. To stay on topic, when my friends and I were watching and the lady got in the GS i was like " LOOK its a lexus not MERC!" (friend owns an e5 lol) Has anyone noticed that there are not enuf lexus cars in movies? Next Transporter i want the ls600h.

I don't think it's possible for anyone NOT to notice if they've seen the movie unless there's something wrong with their eyes, or they are not aware what a GS450h looks like. The car is in red too, & appeared a few times in the movie ...

The GS caught our attention too; it's Matador Red like ours. OK...the chair was a big hit too.

Liev Schreiber in the 2006 remake of The Omen also drove a Lexus GS!

I think its funny how in tune you will get when watching cars in movies. I used to akways watch out for infinitis . Now I am always watching out for Lexus vehicles. I remember when I saw Disturbia and noticed that the killer was rolling a 3GS
