The man with the golden gun

Just a reminder of this flick. In the man with the golden gun JB takes an AMC hornet?? and jumps a canal.

The cool part is, the jump twists down to the left. So the car is rolling left as it leaves the jump. It rolls about a 270 in the air and hits the second side of the jump (ramp) which is twisted in a mirror image of the on ramp.
Hard to explain, but the car ends up doing a 360 roll by the time it leaves the off ramp.

Pretty cool stuff for 1974! I gotta find a clip.

EDIT I found a pic! looking for a clip. Believe it or not all 4 wheels land flat on the ramp on the right of the picture.
