    I keep marveling at how his jacket flies on in the beginning. I still don't know how the special effects team pulled it off.
    EDIT: okay, I'm an idiot. They'd just have to split the jacket down the back and attach fishing line or an equivalent wire to the jacket to pull it apart, have some other wires or lines to take the guitar off him, and then film everything in reverse. All that would be in the balance would be the actor's skills.
