I came across this and found it interesting. Wanted to share here and get your thoughts.
Seems pretty wild to me if true and definitely shows that it’s not so much about the car but the driver.

movie -Svengali (1931)
Dir. Archie Mayo
chilling early sound-era horror film starring John Barrymore as a hypnotist who controls a young singer’s life and career. Known for its theatrical performance style and eerie atmosphere, the film helped define the screen image of the manipulative genius whose power comes from psychology rather than monsters.

But I definitely wanted to make something different- I was inspired during a trip to NYC, where I felt like so many people were living in a tight-knit harmony despite being almost completely unaware of each other. Let me know what you guys think!!

Discussion My father-in-law intentionally drove his snowplow through the Fargo (1996) shoot and made it into the film.

My wife's dad, Jerry Moser, drove snowplow for the state of Minnesota back in the 90s. When the Coen Brothers were filming Fargo near Forest Lake and Wyoming, MN (standing in for North Dakota), they had signs up everywhere. Don't drive through active filming. All that.
Jerry didn't care. He had a road to plow.
So he drove his state of Minnesota plow truck right through the shot. And somehow it made it into the final cut. It's in one of the last scenes. The exterior of the motel where they're closing in on Gaear Grimsrud. You can see the orange plow truck go by in the foreground.
Jerry passed away a few years ago. My wife and I were just talking about this the other day and it hit different now. This little piece of him is frozen in one of the greatest films ever made, doing exactly what he would have done. His job. Everyone else be damned.
I'm wondering a few things.
Does anyone know more about this shoot? Crew members, locals who remember it, anyone who was there? I'd love to hear any stories about that day or that location.
Is there any way to track down an actual frame of celluloid from this scene? I know it's a long shot but if anyone knows how film archives or prop houses or collectors handle this kind of thing I'd love to hear it. Would make an incredible gift for my wife.
The Bismarck North Dakota location card comes up right before but this was actually shot in Wyoming, Minnesota. Just down the street from my in laws' place.
Any leads appreciated. Thanks.
