Jean-Claude Van Damme kan stadig!

På trods af at den hårdtpumpede actionstjerne er ved at være oppe i årene, så beviser Jean-Claude Van Damme i en ny reklamefilm for Volvo, at han bestemt stadig har, hvad der skal til, når det kommer til den fysiske side af jobbet som muskelbundt.

På 24 timer har reklamefilmen rundet intet mindre end seks millioner visninger på YouTube, og det lader ikke til, at den tager fra i popularitet lige med det samme.

Se reklamefilmen nedenfor.

Har gen-set/skippet: Blood sport fornylig og AV for den da, det gjorde ondt i det gemte barnesind(I ved - den gang mindreårige, så R/16 film uden der fremkom de helt store skoleskyderier mm.)

Men så, så jeg en reklame for Volvo lastbiler - og nu har jeg det majet, majet bedre;-D



PS. Hvis man gerne vil kunne gå i split i en alder af 30+, skal man så gøre som i Kickboxer?

Jeg tvivler på, at metoden i Kickboxer er anbefalelsesværdig.

Metoden i Bloodsport er meget bedre.

“The stunt is real and is performed in just one take,” said Anders Vilhelmsson, public relations manager for the Volvo Trucks brand. “It’s a daring stunt but we had full control. There was never any real danger involved.”

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 [man kan også se, at han flytter på fødderne undervejs], 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.”

The stunt, meant to advertise Volvo Trucks’ new dynamic steering system, has drawn more than eight million views on YouTube since the video was posted on Nov. 13.

It was filmed by Nilsson on a closed-off airstrip in Spain called Ciudad Real, located just south of Madrid. Prior to filming, the production team rehearsed the stunt for three days. The final version had to be completed within just 15 minutes – from 8:05 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. – when the sunlight was just right.

“The film you see is the first take. But obviously we had tons of rehearsals,” Nilsson said. “The tension was really high. I saw a tough stunt coordinator swell up after we nailed it. That might actually be the nicest memory from the shoot.”

Nilsson said the drivers of the trucks played key roles. “What they did is fantastic. I don’t know if you have tried to drive backwards with a truck but it’s not the easiest thing,” he said. “And then [to] keep it in total control when spreading apart is very, very hard.”

The trucks go backward in the video because “we all know that going in reverse is a bit more difficult than going forward,” Vilhelmsson said. “We felt that would be the ultimate test, to have the trucks go in reverse with someone standing on the side mirrors performing a side split. And we knew that if anyone would be able to do that, it would have to be Jean-Claude Van Damme.”

Nilsson called the video an honest homage to Van Damme, “a pop cultural icon that I have had in my life since I was a kid. The spots he has been in before have looked down on him, in my opinion. I was looking up, in celebration.”

The new dynamic steering system combines conventional hydraulic powered steering with an electric motor that is fitted to the truck’s steering gear. The electric motor receives 2000 signals per second from the truck’s on-board sensors, allowing for more precise steering, according to Vilhelmsson. He said the steering system offers a more relaxed and ergonomically designed experience for truck drivers.

The “Epic Split” video is part of a series produced by Volvo Trucks that features daring stunts meant to illustrate innovations in its vehicles. A previous video dubbed [url=]“The Ballerina Stunt”[/url] filmed two trucks speeding toward a tunnel, with a woman crossing a slack line between them before they hit the tunnel. That video also went viral, getting more than 7 million views.

Hehe cool, men igen det er nu kun den ene truck som flytter sig ud af, det passer emd den linie der er optegnet på vejen.

Men visuelt er det en flot idé, hvertfald.

Selvfølgelig, men derfor er det stadig imponerende. Det ville næppe kunne lade sig gøre, hvis de begge flyttede sig på samme tid.

Nej det ville nok kræve for meget kordinering, men ja stadigvæk imponerende, og fed idé til en reklame.

Jeg bliver lige imponeret, hver gang jeg ser den video. Kombinationen af baglæns kørsel, Van Damme, der sin alder til trods, laver et af sine berømte splits og så Enyas musik, får det hele til, at gå op i en højere enhed.

Og så nærmer videoen sig så småt de 18 mio. visninger. Ikke så ringe endda.

Hmm, da jeg ikke har råd til spritnye Volvo lastbiler - prøver jeg Kickboxer-metoden...
