The gag with the attacker ripping the bumper off was come up with at the last minute, since Smith broke the bumper off himself attempting to tow a trailer that was too heavy. Since the car was an old beater than in his words, "wasn't worth fixing," they came up with the scene both as a sight gag and a means to explain why the car suddenly didn't have a rear bumper. -- Last edit: 2019-04-16 17:41:55
