A silly car from an even sillier movie.
The biggest problems stemming from the introduction of these cars are the following:
1) The natural flow of dialogue and movement is strictly limited inside a vehicle and when the camera focuses on the vehicle, the people inside tend to look like stick figures. Half the time they
are stick figures; dummies to allow for a dangerous action scene in a panoramic shot or at least were in the days before computer animation.
2) They and other toys become the focus of the movie instead of the characters. In fact, for some movie franchises, their introduction is the moment the franchise "jumps the shark".
