However, I will agree that a great deal of special effects can detract from one's enjoyment of a film. But if the film is of any worth, best to overlook such things in favour of the things that make the film worth while. Not sure if it has been mentioned or not (haven't read this entire thread) but if you watch "View To A Kill" closely, when Grace Jones pushes the Rolls Royce containing the now-deceased Patrick McNee into the pond/lake, you can see a cable draw taut through the water, helping her to "push" the auto into the water.
