Throwback of the decade right here

There's been a lot of attention on Ireland in the past few years from filmmakers.

Whether it's Wild Mountain Thyme, Disenchanted or Game of Thrones, some big budget productions have be shot across the Island, admittedly with varying levels of success.

But it's important to acknowledge that it's not just the western world that has to looked to Ireland for filming locations - Dublin has actually hosted a fair amount of Bollywood production.

None more iconic than 2012's 'Ek Tha Tiger' (Once There Was a Tiger) - which ended up scoring a very respectable 73% on Rotten Tomatoes.

And while many may not have even seen the whole movie, there's at least one scene everyone needs to see.

During the scene, the movie's hero, super spy Avinash Singh "Tiger" Rathore Salman Khan, played by one of India's most famous actors Salman Khan, get into a scuffle involving an out of control Luas while in Dublin.

With nothing but a jacket to save the day, what happens next is... really, quite something.

The Luas speeds out of control, chaos ensures, a topless man looks on from an upstairs window.

But just in the nick of time, our hero's suit jacket manages to pull the tram away from the power lines, bringing it to a halt in the nick of time!
