One of the most memorable scenes, perhaps one of the most classic scenes ever filmed, is the crop duster sequence in Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest.” We find Cary Grant, playing a character named Roger Thornhill, in the middle of a Indiana corn field waiting for the elusive Mr. Kaplin, who never shows up because he never existed. But that gives away too much of the plot.

Anyway, the bad guys who are out to get Cary have a crop duster on the ready and it begins to chase Cary through the rows of corn, covering him with pesticides and spraying bullets at him. As soon as he sees a huge tanker truck racing down the nearby highway, he makes a dash for it, biplane crop duster in hot pursuit.

Cary stands in the middle of the road, holding is hand out and signaling for the truck to stop. It does. Barely. Then the crop duster cashes into the tanker and Cary makes his getaway and the plane bursts into flames. Now, imagine the same scene if the truck’s brake pads did not work. Well, you might say that the movie would then add new meaning to the phrase “smash hit.” Do not let your car become a smash. Be sure to have your brake pads inspected and replaced when they have worn out. And when you do, try a set of Mazda 929 Brake Pads. Like all our parts, our brake pads come with a quality guarantee. Be ready for anything.Even stopping for Cary Grant the next time you see him wave you down.
