It was actually the first time I tried the director option and I tried fast forwarding to get a bit more into the action. At one point when I stopped it the view didn't seem familiar, I played the replay and discovered that this time round I'd crashed into a wall!?! When I went back to the screen with the options to continue, save replay, film director etc, etc, the continue option had gone and it was asking if I wanted to try again. Cheeky beggar! I also got stuck inside a building as well. In the presumably very last mission in new york I tried to jump the little wall at the top of the map to get onto the ocean and try to drive round. It worked as well, but eventually it just locks up when you try and go round.
