Explosion of a Motor Car
Directed by: Cecil Hepworth
year: 1900 2 minutes
It has been claimed that early automobiles were not particularly safe. British director Cecil Hepworth takes such notions to the inevitable extreme. In this case, the explosion is only the beginning. Tragedy follows (with a dose of black humor). This particular version, oddly cropped to lop off to full title of the film, includes a brief introductory narration to set the stage and note the obvious debt to Georges Méliès.
