I know exactly what you're saying. I remember when I saw TPM in theatres for the first time when I was 13, and it was at that exact moment when I really figured out what was going on. Where they fall about 300 feet at high speeds without even feeling any pain and then rebounding immediately as if they had really good moon shoes on. It was obvious that it was just trying to outdo everything the movies before it had set down, and that it would continue to "get bigger" with each subsequent movie to the point where it's almost impossible to consider them all connected to the same universe and the same laws of physics.
