In the world of films, especially in action movies, everything seems to be possible. Car jumps, bullets get crooks to fly and weapons roar in space when you see the laser light pass by. But how does it work in the real world? In his humorous show at Bildmuseet, Patrik Norqvist compares Hollywood's homemade Physics with the Physics of the real world. Film clippings will be mixed with his own filmed material and pedagogical explanations. (Language: Swedish)
