These are not facts. It's speculation. Cars do actually go slow when there is heavy traffic. This is a reality. Thus it's a possibility. I drive everyday and, in rush hour, it's a *****. You have 0 proof that the all the cars were intended to be traveling 45mph AT all times. Some of those cars could have been intended to be going 30mph or slower due to heavy traffic. And that didn't look like a tunnel where cars go that fast naturally. It was too small (in width) with columns everywhere. Why would anyone be going fast in a dark tunnel with heavy traffic and a billion columns around (instant death)?
Even if I went with what you are saying then If the speed of the cars can't be taken literally then NOTHING can. We don't know how long it would take Cap to reach top speed. We can only guess. Thus the scene cannot be used to extrapolate anything. Everything is unknown, even time (since we can't even trust Bucky's 40ft in 4 seconds).
No, I just agreed with your estimates because 2.8seconds is enough time for DS get off several shots to win. To be honest. I know that Cap is superhuman. Thus he obviously runs faster than 22mph. If I had to do an intelligent guess I would say somewhere around 40mph. That's fair I would say.
No one runs at 55 mph IRL h1, you are requiring the filmakers to bend reality in order to portray their characters as moving faster than cars when it is clear-as-day obvious what they were trying to portray by using cameraplay for you to believe in it. This is a laughably despicable debating tactic as you know fully well that the filmmakers were trying to portray here.
Have you ever driven before? Cruising at 45mph is common in tunnels. I mean, where do you live?
Yes, IF there is heavy traffic. There was no such thing in the highway chase scene. Cars were going at regular cruising speed. And the Audi commercial demonstrated that they were going 45 mph. It is not canon to the movie, no. But it is the exact same tunnel shown under the exact same traffic conditions as the movie. And they were driving at 45 mph cruising. Thus it is admissible on determining how fast cars in that area would be moving IRL under the same traffic conditions. This alone trumps all the speculative evidence you have provided.
Tunnels in germany have speed limits of 80-100 kph. Research the speed limits on tunnels. Ppl in any general, in any country would not drive well below the speed limit unless there is heavy traffic. Which there ws none.
Heck no 40 mph is fair. The pursuit police vehicle was being portrayed to be moving at top speeds and it barely caught up, hell no that was 40 mph. I would put Cap at 60+ mph at least were I to pick as they were moving MUCH faster than the cars zipping past several almost as if they were standing still, but I put 55 mph as it was a decent compromise to be fair for both sides.
Ahhh, so you're backtracking since you can no longer downplay Cap's accel, now you're trying to downplay the speed at which the cars move in a freeway tunnel.
That is sad, h1.
