Had the Silly Thing In Reverse: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Independence Day]]'': [[Will Smith]]'s character at first, accidentally, when piloting the captured UFO.

* ''[[Big Trouble in Little China]]'': Jack Burton and the other protagonists are in his truck ready to escape from Lo Pan's warehouse. Burton throws the truck into gear, they all lean forward...and the truck zips backward, bursting out through a wall.

'''Gracie Law''': ''Don't you know how to drive this thing?'' }}

* ''[[Commando (film)|Commando]]'': Rae Dawn Chong's character tries to fire a missile launcher, but it's facing backwards and it blows up a structure behind her.

* In ''[[Some Like It Hot]]'', Josephine (Tony Curtis) is trying to impress Sugar (Marilyn Monroe) by showing her 'his' yacht (it actually belongs to someone else). They get in the motorboat used as the tender for the yacht, but he can only get it to work in reverse.

* ''[[Thoroughly Modern Millie]]'' had this when Millie is attempting to drive Grayson's car for an escape.

* Justified in ''[[The Gods Must Be Crazy]]'', since the driver was a Bushman utterly new to any technology more advanced than a bow, and it was a [[The Alleged Car|shit car]] at that.

* In ''[[Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist]]'', Nick lets Norah drive his [[The Alleged Car|Yugo]], and after showing off [[Driving Stick|her "awesome" driving skills]], she parks by the curb. When Nick comments on how far away from the curb she is, she goes to reverse closer to the curb and ends up driving forward ... [[Epic Fail|into a fire hydrant]].
