Master 2 - Tape 1 Starts with man with padded wings, flapping; he keeps running on the ground with the wings, a few people running behind. Eventually gets to a peak, is pushed off, falls, doesn't fly. At strange contraption called the Gray Goose flaps its wings, collapses. At a man lets out his parachute, in slow-mo, and is yanked from the plane. At a man inexplicably rides his bicycle into a brick wall. Rides towards camera, wall crumbles. 1920s cars driving back and forth, street cars (cable cars) drive by, and a car is squished flat. a little boy drives a midget car down the street. A car bucks on its back tires. A car rides full speed into a parked car, spectators watch. A man drives his car into a steel girder and is thrown out. A jet-propelled car speeds down the road. Matted shot (side view) of people in a car driving into the water, from a rocky beach. Fishing or boat pier behind them.MS steam engine car facing camera. Men shake hands and the car drives down the street. MS two men drive a funny little car right towards camera which is tracking them. They try to stop, but the brake handle comes off; they are about to collide with a truck (insert of frantically braking feet) but they end up with their car fitting perfectly on the back ramps of the truck and being simultaneously lifted up and carted away. Slapstick comedy. A boxy glider airplane flies awkwardly over a body of water, crashes, skids, turns over. A group of men walk a funny-looking contraption down a lawn to make it fly; can't. More contraptions of early flight including the semi-famous shot of the seven-winged biplane collapsing.
