This banger sequence early on wherein an unfortunate hitchhiker’s brains are blown out prompting the camera to, in a shot which remains impressive for its virtuoso daring, glide through her open head and back into the car, prompting a rare gasp of awe and horror from the audience amidst all the groans of boredom before and after this sole moment.
