A "director" explains stunt and filmmaking processes and begins the action with what he calls a ballet sequence. A bunch of shiny, nimble Opels sprint onto the stage and engage in a series of brake-screeching, synchronized maneuvers. It's like a motorized version of the Radio City Rockettes; a mistimed pirouette is a heckuva lot more dangerous however when the participants are sports cars rather than leggy showgirls.
In the second scene, the motorcycles join the fun. The extras also do their best "I've been shot!" emoting as they limp across the stage after a staged shootout. When oil barrels grace the stage of a stunt show spectacular, that can only mean one thing: Those suckers are gonna blow up and deliver some serious plumes of fire. When the smoke dies down, Herbie the VW Beetle Love Bug provides some "intermission" fun.
Then it's back to serious action as cars teeter on two wheels, jump over one another, and otherwise pull out every chase scene cliché for a grand finale of epic proportions. Moteurs' choreography is mind-boggling. It's even more mind boggling to think that the crew repeats the razor-thin-margin-of-error show a number of times daily.
