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.

The back wheels rotating forward then reverse then forward is most likely a kind of an optical illusion. If you watch old westerns, watch the wagon wheels as they accelerate, the wheels look to be going forward then stop and then look to rotate backwards. It is similar to a strobe effect with the timing of the shutter speed of the camera to a rotating object. At least that's what Mr. Wizard says...

Strobe effect

Quite right CBX, I did think of that, and it is very possible. If you could see the front wheel also doing it, and you can't because of the angle, it would confirm this hypothesis.

I wonder though if the film was shot using film stock or video?. The effect depends on the number of frames per sec synchronising with the strobe effect of the wheel like you say.

I is a nifty bit of flinging the car about though, isn't it?
