Bumblebee Camaro Crashes In to Real Police SUV
On the set of Transformers 3 filming, which is currently in Washington D.C., they've had an unscripted accident. I know that unscripted accident is redundant, but, with as many explosions and car crashes as there are on the set of a Michael Bay movie, I felt like I had to reiterate that aspect of this. The Bumblebee Camaro, the beautiful 5th gen Camaro that has acted as a major star in each Transformers film to date, found itself looking down a non-Autobot enemy during the filming of a car chase scene. A Police SUV going to investigate a suspicious, possibly explosive package, in the vicinity of the District, went through the Transformers 3 filming location to get to his location faster. He was using a different radio channel than the officers on set for Transformers 3, and therefore was unable to alert anybody of his presence on set. Of course, this ended in the worst way possible.
Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt, and another investigative Police vehicle made it to the scene of the suspicious package quickly. The officer driving the SUV involved in the accident, a 25-year veteran of the D.C. Police force, went to the hospital with minor injuries. It seems, after watching the video, that the person/thing to incur the most damage was Bumblebee himself, and while this is sad, I'd much rather see a Camaro harmed than a human (it's almost blasphemous to say, I know!).
Well, thankfully, since we know nobody was seriously injured in the accident, and the officer involved the arrest will most likely be sufficiently compensated by Bay and the production company, we can watch the video without feeling bad! I wonder if this wont somehow show up in the Theatrical edit of TF3?
More Transformers 3 Video
Michael Bay has continued filming the explosion-laden (and, presumably, plot deprived) next installment in his Transformers franchise in Chicago, and what this means is that a lot more video footage has been shot by amateur cinematographers of the events. There are some great looks at the Bumblebee Camaro in action, as well as the other Autobots (which include a beautiful Ferrari, and a wild looking Stingray Convertible Corvette prototype). Sadly, Rose Huntington-Whiteley is not to be seen in any of the clips 
. While I do like to make fun of Michael Bay for making terribly thin and one-dimensional films, I am also intrigued by hot cars and beautiful women, so he has figured out a winning formula. Any chance to see a great looking Camaro or Super-Model (or Super-Model with Camaro) is a chance I will take.
