As for the handbrakes, wouldn't the rear wheels have locked-up during that move? It looks like the rear wheels are turning the whole time throughout the whole manuever.

If you stop/start very rapidly using the space bar, you can see that the back wheels actually go in reverse for a half revolution while the car is on opposite lock.

Would not surprise me if the stunt driver had put in the two-wheel drive fuse for the stunt, and driven the car as an fwd model. He may also have selected and hammered reverse to break traction and cause the slide, a busted tranny is cheap if the director gets the shot he wants.

Lastly, don't forget this is the movies. Nothing to stop the stunt driver coating the rear tyres in washing up liquid or something slippy for the shot.
