This reminds me of the opening scene of The Italian Job (one of my favorite movies), when they drop the safe through the floor into a Venice canal, where they crack it under-water while a decoy motorboat above-water leads police on a wild goose chase.

You should look out for the original Italian Job as well (if you haven't seen it). The mini driving is great (when the mini was in its heydey, winning rallies, left foot braking...)

I know it's an oldish movie, but that's really an unnecessary spoiler.

the opening scene

I won't complain about it being a spoiler since the sentence begins by saying that it's from a movie so anybody could stop reading before reaching the description, but it is a spoiler, it's a twist that happens that is spoiled by knowing what happens.

Yes, it spoils the opening scene. It's a deliberate twist that isn't revealed until several minutes in.

Anyways, it doesn't matter and my comment didn't contribute to good HN discussion. Apologies to all.
