Traffic snarls in the Brickell area are nothing new.

But Thursday’s car-related commotion was make-believe: Kevin Hart was shooting his upcoming Netflix movie “72 Hours.”

A clip on Only in Dade shows a diminutive person (stuntman?) who looks a lot like Hart running down the street chasing a hot pink stretch limousine. The guy hurls himself on top of the vehicle and it zips through the tree-lined neighborhood, a camera crew tailing behind.

OK, this looks like it’s gonna be good.

According to Netflix, despite the title, it’s not a sequel to the Eddie Murphy- Nick Nolte buddy cop 1982 classic “48 Hours.”

Directed by Tim Story (of “Barbershop,” “Think Like a Man” and “Ride Along” fame), the flick stars Hart as a 40-year-old executive who hopes to save his career by going on a wild three-day bachelor party with 20 something dudes after getting accidentally added to their group chat.

Locals may appreciate that Belen Jesuit prep alum Marcello Hernandez co-stars as the best man and official party organizer in the movie, whose release date is not known.

The 27-year-old “Saturday Night Live” star saw the post on Only in Dade, where he jumpstarted his career, providing hilarious content for the lifestyle page. In a classic move, Hernandez corrected OID’s spelling of his name (they put only one “L”).

“I worked with u for 3 years,” Hernandez joked in the comments section. “You write my name Marcelo.’ That’s some Only in Dade s---.”
