Imagine you’re watching a cartoon where a character pulls a lever and the car splits in two, letting them escape in the front half.
Well, something just like that happened in real life — and no, it’s not a movie scene.
It took place in Russia, and the whole thing was caught on camera.
In the Republic of Tatarstan, a routine police stop turned into pure chaos.
A bright orange car had pulled over, and a police officer quickly approached it, ready to question the driver.
But just as he yanked the door open, the car did the unthinkable — it split in half.
Yes, the front part zoomed off while the back half stayed put, leaving the stunned officer in the dust.
A Car Built for the Great Escape?
Local media reports claim that the car had been specially modified to split at the push of a button.
Sounds straight out of a spy movie, right? Social media certainly thought so.
The hilarious footage has gone viral, with viewers comparing the jaw-dropping escape to a cartoon gag or a wild stunt from a kids’ show.
Enter: The Real-Life Spider-Man on the Streets of London
And just when you think things can’t get weirder, we head to the UK.
A few months earlier, London saw its own share of dramatic escapes.
A man was caught on camera pulling a Spider-Man-style move — but this one didn’t end quite as smoothly.
Back in March, on the A406 (North Circular Road) near Chingford, a man dressed in black was seen sprinting away from police on foot.
But instead of running off into the distance, he decided to go vertical — and started climbing a towering wall, estimated to be around 40 feet high.
A Climb That Didn’t End Well
He actually made it halfway up before gravity caught up with him.
As police cars pulled up and officers gathered below, the man suddenly lost his grip.
In a dramatic fall, he landed — unfortunately — right on top of a police officer.
A second video clip shows the aftermath. Four officers quickly rushed to the scene.
One checks on the fallen suspect while another tends to the injured officer, who was seen holding his leg in pain.
“Is he alright?” someone is heard asking, as the moment unfolds in the chaotic scene.
Internet Reactions: Laughter, Memes, and Marvel Comparisons
Of course, social media wasted no time jumping in.
People were quick to nickname the fleeing man “Spider-Man,” poking fun at his wall-scaling stunt.
The clip, set to the upbeat tune Life Is a Highway by Rascal Flatts, only added to the comedic tone.
The suspect didn’t get away though. The Metropolitan Police later confirmed his arrest in connection with driving offences.
What’s Next?
With wild escapes like cars splitting in half and suspects trying to scale skyscraper-sized walls, you have to wonder — what bizarre getaway attempt is coming next?
Maybe someone will try to zipline through traffic or escape in a jetpack.
One thing’s for sure: if it happens, someone will be there to film it — and the internet will have a field day.
