And then they shift in a higher gear, allowing them to drive nearly twice as fast, because they didn't think of that before

An infinite number of times too. I don't know what's more infinite in this world, the number of gears in a car in a fast and furious movie, or the number of bullets in their guns.

Drive, which is otherwise an excellent movie, has a car chase where you can hear a gear shift while they’re reversing.

A few cars had two reverse gears, and I think they were valued as getaway cars for that reason!

Old British war Jeeps -and probably others- had transmissions where you can go as fast backwards as you cwn forwards. You actually shift through the gears in reverse.
