As much as I enjoyed those 4 clips, there was some significant lameness to them. That show appears to be a ripoff of Top Gear, anyway.

That "cannon" was bogus. If you put a cannon ball in like they showed, it does not "blow up" by making an explosion on the ground or on whatever it hits. The cannon ball is just a steel ball. So those cannon shots were bogus, just some light charges set off near the car for the first two shots, then on what appeared to be the passenger door for the so called "hit" on the third shot.

A real cannon shooting an 8 or 12 pounder like that would have blown the cannon ball clean through the vehicle, making a big mess of things, but not blowing anything up.

Then they showed putting supposed dynamite, several sticks, next to the engine. But if you watch the explosion, it's a series of several explosions going from front to back of the car, with lots of gasoline for the hollywood effect. If they had actually put that much dynamite next to the engine, the engine would have parted company with the car.

Top Gear seems to do "real stuff" to their automotive victims, this was not nearly as real.
