Having been pulled over by the cops for breaking the speed limit, Hoskins asked the officer to put it down as clocked at 45 mph. As he was trying to sell it.

In StalagLuft 13 the prisoners look to speed up the digging of the escape tunnel, before the Russians liberate them. Guards think they are looking to get away over the wire.

"Does it have brakes? You bet - we drop that blade into the ground and it'll stop from any speed in 6"* - and the support sticking out a the front stops it from tipping over."

"Well, if you think about it, you'd need several primary controls for the helicopter component, and several for the digger component. But we've economised so there are only three controls that you use in conjunction with each other to get the required effect."
