After a successful robbery, the criminals swiftly leave the scene, get into the car, and drive away, leaving chaos and fear behind.

Police Station

Scene where the bandits, having successfully robbed the jewelry store, rush to escape in their car. At first, everything goes according to plan: they confidently race through the streets of New York, laughing and rejoicing in their luck. However, their joy soon turns to horror when the car unexpectedly begins to lift into the air while moving. The criminals panic as they realize that Jenny, who possesses superpowers, has caught them. She uses her strength to lift the car with the bandits into the air and deliver them directly to the police station. At that moment, they understand that their criminal plan has collapsed, and all the loot will now be handed over to justice.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the Constance Baker Motley Recreation Center, located at 54th St, New York.

Its location in the heart of Manhattan adds realism to the events, as this place easily fits into the urban landscape.

Bar

Despite Vaughn's active efforts to attract women, he fails to make a connection, and they eventually leave the bar alone, without success.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at Central Bar in New York City. This location was ideal for filming due to its atmosphere, which reflects the spirit of New York and its bar life.
