21 WTF Moments From San Andreas

12. Carla Gugino Outruns A Dust Cloud

After escaping being crushed in the restaurant, Carla Gugino is trapped on the roof of a building when she's found by The Rock, who is piloting a helicopter to rescue her. However, just as he's lowering himself to try and attempt landing, the building next to the rooftop she's on falls over, creating a huge shockwave followed by a rushing wall of dust and debris. Just like Jake Gyllenhaal outran frost in The Day After Tomorrow and Mark Wahlberg outran the wind in The Happening, Carla Gugino gets her own moment of impossibly besting nature. She outruns the wall of dust and reaches the chopper in time, inspiring nothing from the audience other than rolled eyes. Extras attempt to pull the same trick later in the film when another building collapses, but are instantly blown away, never to be seen again. Guess they just didn't want it enough.
