galileo's fingers
Two fingers cut from the hand of Italian astronomer Galileo nearly 300 years ago have been rediscovered more than a century after they were last seen, an Italian museum director said Monday.via cnn
Three fingers were cut from Galileo's hand in March 1737 when his body was moved from a temporary monument to its final resting place in Florence, Italy.
The people who cut off his fingers essentially considered him a secular saint... noting the fingers that were removed were the ones he would have used to hold a pen.

car chase? looked a bit too staged to me.
perhaps you ought to review the car & elevated subway chase from The French Connection? this was filmed live in real traffic without permits or any notification to the City of New York. (minus the edits where we see Hackman driving)
