Line 18:
* Done often on ''[[MythBusters]]''. Driving a car so fast that it can't be caught by a police radar, making a child float by using thousands of balloons, chopping down a tree with a machine gun... the list goes on.
* Serpentera from ''[[Power Rangers]]''. Ostensibly powerful enough to destroy a planet, but it kept running out of power when it came time to actually fight the Power Rangers. Despite being the largest Zord ever in the series, it was hardly effective beyond its first few appearances. The behind-the scenes reason for this was the limited footage of Serpentera available from the original Sentai.
* The original opening sequence to the [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|the 2000s ''Battlestar Galactica'']] miniseries]]. It was originally meant to show the Armistice Officer arrive at the station several times at different stages in his career, from a lowly lieutenant to his final rank as colonel. They even cast a young actor to play him, putting through lots of makeup to show him accurately age over the 40 years. Realistically, this would have stretched the opening to maybe 10 minutes.
* The [[Cool Car|Panthermobile]] from the live action start of the '70s ''Pink Panther'' show. It has absolutely jaw dropping lines, but also no windows, no roof for the driver, and my goodness [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bii-PIGprv8 does it fishtail all over the place!]
