For car lovers, seeing a beautiful and expensive automobile destroyed in a film is a hard sight to see. And for fans of Bruce Willis and the "Die Hard" series, a movie with gratuitous destruction is as common as a cup holder.

One scene in the film features Willis and Mercedes G Class SUV in a high speed chase through Moscow, where at one point, he drives the SUV over the tops of oncoming cars.

Car fanatics may cringe at this statistic, but in the latest film in the series, "A Good Day To Die Hard," there is a car chase scene which destroyed 132 cars alone and cost $11 million to film.

"There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again," says Director John Moore, in a USA Today interview. "Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there. ... That's the fun of it."

"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," Moore said. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic."

Mercedes-Benz played a big role in the film. The company gave the producers multiple versions of several vehicles to make the film and evidently had no problems with the cars being wrecked.

The company even provided the video below as promotional material for its brand and the film.

"You go to Moscow it's covered in these Mercedes, like yellow taxi cabs in New York," said Moore in the interview. "So we said 'Hey, can you help us out. Because we cannot afford to wreck all the cars that you see in Moscow. So send us some of those G wagons.'"

It's safe to bet that the majority of those cars handed out the the filmmakers never made it back to Mercedes in one piece.

"A Good Day To Die Hard" released earlier this month.
