Walking Tall - Rock totals a $100,000 Porsche
Headline News
The Rock Involved In Car Accident; & More

By Ryan Clark
WrestlingInc.com Staff
March 31, 2004

The following is from FOX23 in Albany, NY:
The Rock wrecked a $100,000 Porsche car in new movie Walking Tall when he went too far in a scene.

The former wrestler, real name Dwayne Johnson, didn't realize he was only supposed to make it look like he was whacking the luxury sports car with a plank of wood - and set about destroying the vehicle.

He says, "When I smashed the Porsche it was one of those things where the director yelled, "I don't think you're supposed to smash the Porsche."

I was looking at it and the Porsche was just wrecked. I said "Did we just buy this?" and he was like, "That's affirmative."

At least the $100,000 didn't come out of my salary.

--------------------------

Former wrestler? That's a stretch for someone who just wrestled on March 14.

But Rock- Porsche incident =

That is a sweet car. Movie wasn't bad. As long as you don't expect a ton and only pay for a matinee, it's definately an enjoyable 1.5 hous.

When The Rock smashes out the taillight on the Porsche, it was a mistake - he wasn't actually supposed to do that to the real car which was on loan to the set. After smashing it in, the director and crew were completely silent. The Rock said, "I wasn't supposed to do that, was I?"...silence..."Did we just buy this car?" There was a slight pause as the director checked with someone on the set... "Yes."

I love how The Rock is always refferred to as a "former wrestler" by the media.

I think the term "part-time wrestler" is more appropriate.

Well, that's only because it's been out (i believe) the longest out of those movies.

It "only" did about 10 Million this last weekend, as opposed to 23.5 mil by Hellboy.

However, it's also been running for several weeks, so we'll have to see how Hellboy and Walking Tall draw over the next couple.

Personally, I don't think it's the Triple H of movies...More like the Hogan...You know, only on the list because it's been there for a while.

All the media people were saying Hellboy was going to be #1 and it was. Hellboy had a better trailer and its a movie kids/teens are going to drawn to, plus I think ti was based on a comic book, which seems to do well these days.

Nobody expected Walking Tall to do huge business. This is all a set up for Spy Hunter. I think if that fails Rock might lose some of his shine, but thats not till next year, so.
