[crane view above]
The car spins wildly out of control. Buff, with the money bag in his right hand and the robbers head in his left elbow, is flung out of the car. The empty car slams sideways into a large pile of garbage, compressing it.
[wide view from below] They tumble in mid air with limbs flailing wildly.
[wide view, rotate around to follow action] A billboard nearby says, "Music Fest". (or maybe, "Sausage Fest." with Polish translation.) They land on a raised platform, (a band's stage that has been set up) rolling to a stop, slightly apart with the bag in between them. They slowly rise to a fighting stance each.
[closeup] Buff is determined.
[closeup] Robber is determined.
[head to waist, rotating around them] They exchange a flurry of blows, each apparently taking solid painful hits (though their punches and kicks never seem to make contact).

[closeup, pulling back] He is dazed and looking around. He sees something frightening falling toward him. The money bag lands squarely on his chest, knocking the wind out of him.
