Jean Claude Van Damme Volvo Split is not a Fake

Volvo Spot

[@Martin-sk4ff]

Best commercial ever... The perfection of man, the perfect machines, the perfect music under the perfect light...

[@strikeforcealpha9343]

Perfect 👌

[@123langeweile7]

2022 und ich bin immer noch begeistert. Egal welche Unterstützung es gab, das es ein One shoot Clip war und diese Balance von Van Damme ist bis heute kaum zu glauben.👍👍👍

[@ironpatriot6053]

Real thing is Van Dam was driving these trucks with his feet

[@mullerman1104]

No, that was Chuck Norris driving both trucks

[@hrisalek]

I am Bulgarian speaking bulgarian. Title is in English. Video in German. Plot twist Ich spreche auch Deutsch.

[@Bionik1980]

"shpagad"( split), that's all you need to know

[@MrPAULONEAL]

So you speak German?...

[@Zxzuu29399]

Kamsude opo?

[@rustycherkas8229]

The original is still impressive, even after the "behind the scenes"... Can't imagine the pressure to get the JCVD version "final take" done with the sun at just the right position. Kudos all 'round, especially to Enya for the heavenly soundtrack.

[@cholasimmons]

at just the bloody right position!!!!!! 👌

[@edithann1284]

Well, harness or not, JCVD's split is real. His balance is superb, and he did not rely on the harness. It was there for protection. Not to aid the stunt. But that heavens it was there. We wouldn't want to lose such a fantastic athlete by playing stupid. Happy valentines day Jean-Claude

[@bjornursajansson6554]

I’m not even sure the harness was used with JCVD, appears it might only be for this remake. Difficult to hear though, since they speak in German over the English conversation between the team from Volvo and the team from RTL. Might be that they say it was used in both instances

[@martinrh76]

Did trucks really move backwards?

[@pilummurialis6490]

@@martinrh76 the footage is reversed, because the trailer would turn into the other truck

[@someonewithsomename]

@@martinrh76 yes, they did. the footage is NOT reversed.

[@someonewithsomename]

I'm pretty sure in the original JCVD did bend forward for a little while and relied on the harness. But it's quite understandable - the trucks are still moving and shaking.

[@gabrielalves5457]

I'm impressed with the quality of the materials in the Volvo mirrors!

[@takeuki9853]

Roses are red Violets are blue Your title is in english So why aren't you?

[@vandamme6379]

*Takeuki * Because HE is not a video.😁

[@showingYOUtheworld]

Because there's other countries and languages too. Try to learn at least one foreign language.

[@assistidor2023]

'Cause humans are stupid

[@Chrono_Mitsurugi]

@@showingYOUtheworld That doesnt change the fact that the videos title was in English. Lets try another example, what if the video's title was in lets say Arabic, but the whole video was in Chinese?

[@justseen1745]

Roses are red Violets are blue We are inter-linguistic So why you are not?

[@mahalayananda]

That was a very brave initiative. JCVD is a well trained athlete. But the young man in this video is obviously not. Brave and a great idea. If you watch the video of making the original you can see that JCVD had some serious worries at first as they didn't tell him about the safety procedures. Great idea from Volvo, and perfectly performed by everybody involved. Just great.

[@KAZUNARl]

Jean Claude ist wie geboren für den Werbespot. Denkt man erst richtig wenn man seine Filme kennt. Dann noch die Musik dazu im Werbespot und man bekommt Gänsehaut. Hammer!

[@deutschevolksmiliz]

ja vor allem es war echt. Heutzutage würden auch nur Firmen wie Volvo sowas machen. Alle anderen würden Computerprogramme verwenden....

[@magicmulder]

Those were the days when RTL still did interesting things.

[@logosoni7119]

You should see the RTL that is in Croatia.... pure abomination of a Television program

[@Sva010]

Tja die Redakteure war wohl noch nicht so bekifft

[@senniesen5482]

The result of all those efforts was incredible..The best ads I've ever seen

[@frankcastle6817]

JCVD Rules...tolle Leistung...eins meiner Jugendidole mit so einem Auftritt...Excellent

[@savage1343]

Couldn't understand what was being said. Das ist nicht gut!

[@Potapes]

For me it sounds more closely to English than what people consider as English in Scotland.

[@lenBrill1971]

I don't understand German but I can listen to it all day. Sexier than Spanish.

[@neindochoohh7955]

ACHTUNG!

[@wowfilme]

Ich vermisse dieses Qualitätsfernsehen von früher.

[@fletcherdelvalle8459]

He learned to do the split...that's dedication!

[@roxanne_george]

Don't forget he used to train as a ballet dancer. That's what makes his athletic style so unique.

[@HaikuAutomation]

Its implied there was cheating, but the reality is whatever you make it up to be. The video, altered or edited, is proof the guy is a legend. So much so, the video has still garnered nearly 100 million views, and continues to be a motivational piece. It is.

[@j.f.bastian7118]

This is genius. I think this commercial touches, relates or just amazes anyone watching it. I don't care for either trucks or Van Damme, but this is my favorite commercial all-times. It's more than about the product, the message from Van Damme is very inspiring and beautiful which works for both himself and the trucks. Love that track to that beautifully trick during the sunrise. Everything is simply awesome.

[@hanifarjo5222]

Your fully right. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@magicmulder]

This report does not imply cheating, they just said they used some clever tricks (like the trucks having a speed limiter) and that it‘s obvious there had to be safety measures. Cheating would’ve been to use CGI to place JCVD into an empty shot.

[@arcangel5598]

And yes... It is now over 100m views and is still earning views... More than other pop songs out there... What a mastrpiece... With Legend JCVD

[@seeker.8785]

Life is not a popularity contest. Popularity is not a virtue, nor proof of virtue.

[@yeqoutielamsellem8185]

Jean-Claude Van Damme is always one step ahead. That's why we prefer him ... he's the best

[@wrakowic]

Lol did Volvo recreate the whole stunt just for RTL? Amazing.

[@jasonswift7098]

Champion athlete and actor.

Nada es imposible con una buena meditación ❤

[@dilmarsoares8627]

Na verdade tudo foi real. Vam Dame estava mesmo no alto, equilibrando-se com os caminhões em movimento e fez o espacate. Os detalhes técnicos apagados pela computação gráfica foram apenas medidas de segurança.

[@Magerquark]

Respekt das ganze sieht am Ende echt ziemlich gut aus. Dass er nur für ein Video so nah an ein Spagat kommt ist schon krass

[@carmenl163]

Wow, just wow! The persistence, the dare, the precision. I loved watching this (with sweaty hands)! Well done!

OOOhh God what beauty and this has only been done by a single man in the world and so far, his name is Van Damme

[@duxl0r363]

As a truck driver, I couldn’t even drive backwards properly ( without what happens to the guy during the balancing act) 😂👍🏻😂

[@guteronkelpeter]

Die größere Kunst wurde uns auch von Jean Claude Van Damme nicht gezeigt: Wie er die Beine anschließend wieder zusammen brachte. :)

Respekt. Das ist echt ne große Leistung...👏👏👏👏

[@MrNagard]

Hier nur ein Lkw mit 3 Achsen, und im Original 2 Achsen-Sattelzugmaschine mit 3 Achsen-Auflieger 😉

[@Nenral]

Ja, aber auch nur einer von beiden, und zwar derjenige, der geradeaus rückwärts fährt. Derjenige, der die Fahrbahn wechselt, war auch kein Sattelzug. Kann man in der Werbung natürlich nur kurz sehen, während die Kamera zur Seite fährt.

[@nazriben3003]

Sory to say...JVD split still the best and perfect

[@tv2hollywood550]

From Wall Street Journal: "Van Damme, 53, was hooked to safety lines that aren't visible in the film, and each foot is on a small platform that was built on the trucks' side mirrors. Van Damme's feet aren't secured to the mirrors, video director Andreas Nilsson said, "but we had him rigged so that if he would fall off he wouldn't die obviously. We didn't want to be responsible for killing the Muscles from Brussels.

[@paulgruber3384]

Da sieht man dass Action Stars schon auch was können.

[@mr8883]

Van Damme is a beast here.....but CHUCK NORRIS steered the trucks with one hand, held the sun up in place with his other hand, while doing the splits, sang in the background & filmed this with just a Go-Pro on his head to make this commercial so so good. Chuck Norris is the perfection of mankind

[@user-dv2is2lk8v]

chuck norris would do that with one truck only!!!

[@1974beats]

I have no idea whats happening here but i like it......and JCVD is in it soooo.....Booom!!

[@jeffersonfernandes9460]

O Jean Claude van Dame e mestre isso faz diferença

[@spamade.]

Nunja, respekt vor dieser Aktion! ABER: Van Damme hatte Sattelzüge und das ist deutlich schwieriger als die Version mit Dreiachsern. Aber Juck Norris hat sie eh alle übertroffen 😂

[@lazyfingrz]

This is my fav truck in Euro truck simulator . . just love the Steering control followed by MAN and IVECO

[@Ghostdog-uo1ot]

But you know Volvo Dynamic Steering is not really working at ETS2

[@Bulletproof270185]

Keine Ahnung wieso man überhaupt auf die Idee kommt das dieser Stunt ein Fake sein soll. Wer mal einen Van Damme Film gesehen hat sollte wissen das er sowas kann.

Ever notice Pink's rigging in her live concerts..??? Smart professionals always have support.....

[@user-up2us9rc7q]

Как он это сделал!!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮шпагат на зеркалах 😮😮😮😮

[@RivieraByBuick]

the main trick is that the truck that is steering is not a semi (in this video even both trucks are not semi), obviously they tried with two semis, but their magic steering did not perform the task.

[@AnnemarieSchwab]

WoW! Congrats!!!!

[@pinkfluffy9610]

Meddl on, volles Mett voraus! ♥️

[@kevins4273]

Es wurde ein Sattelschlepper benutzt und ein 3 Achser aber im Versuch sind es zwei 3 Achser. Und ein Sattelschlepper ist sehr sehr schwer rückwärts zu fahren ohne das der Hänger nach links oder rechts geht.

[@commandante3000]

danke. endlich checkt es mal jemand^^ aber fahr mal n Drehschemel rückwärts dann weißt du wie einfach n Sattel ist :D

[@ExcelStrategy]

There's a big difference among the two videos, the truck on the right (for who watches) in Van Damme video it's a semi articulated one, the one in the remake no. The coefficient of difficult in driving the first one in reverse it's not even comparable.

[@magicmulder]

They just wanted to show how it was done. Was hard enough as it was, and they didn‘t have the budget to rehearse for a week.

[@MrSoundSeeker]

Hahaha that was nice :))))

[@warrenchu6319]

Why were the trucks going backwards and slowly spreading apart? Because it was filmed going forward and coming together.

[@bobymtaufan6904]

[@Kamikazesemmel]

+lisenok123926 yes

[@eskiltester3913]

well it doesn't support but ensure you don't hit the ground when you fall.

[@triumphmanful]

it was a wire, stainless steel, 2000 lbs. tensile strength. Do you think they would let him fall ? They had it covered ! Computer images are fake. The crane on the right hand truck was deleted out . So was the wire. Wake up people ! Its photo shop time !
