LOL!! While double-clutching and heel-toeing are terms often used interchangeably (and I'd like to think the directors made this mistake as well) and they both work on the same principle but in practice are much different. You wouldn't want to bother double-clutch downshifting if you're trying to go fast lol.

I think this happens a lot because they often piece together junkyard cars when they use old muscle cars in movies. Especially ones that are gonna get crashed or destroyed.
