libraryogre@BlackAzizAnansi Not infrequently, during action movies, I will wonder at what the insurance claims might look like.
Ned Raggett (has moved!)@libraryogre @BlackAzizAnansi One reason why _Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol_ works: they specifically make a point about a claim about a wrecked car right near the end of the film.
morri@libraryogre @BlackAzizAnansi hancock picked that up didnt they xD
Shannon Clark@libraryogre @BlackAzizAnansi in comics there is Damage Control (in Marvel comics and in the films and tv series) which is a company that specializes in cleaning up from superheroes and supervillianβs battles.
See also Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar a radio series with over 800 episodes about an insurance adjuster it ran for 14 year on radio from 1949 to 1962 (not all but about 7/8th of the episodes survive to this day - they are fun)
spherulitic@libraryogre @BlackAzizAnansi Iβd love to see like βBlues Brothers: Claims Adjusterβ as a procedural thriller trying to sort out the damage from the mall chase scene.

Emily S@spherulitic @libraryogre @BlackAzizAnansi I thought that about james bond films.
"So we've got two dozen mellons at this stall, 15 from the other one on the corner down the road, that clothes stall was ruined, four motorcycles, six cars, that 18 wheeler that rolled, and the hospital bills for the lady who had a heart attack from being nearly run over by an aston marten with machine guns and missiles."
