Claude Van Damme does an ad for Volvo that's gone viral showing the actor's strength by doing a leg split between 2 moving trucks.
Volvo says that the shot was done in one take and only the safety lines on the trucks and markings on the roadway used to keep Van Damme from killing himself were removed by computers for the final version.
Volvo also claims that the trucks were driven in reverse, or was there some sleight of hand ? .... with Van Damme, unlike what is shown in the aired version, already in the split position as filming began and then the trucks pulled toward each other - was the film then run in reverse so that it appears that Van Damme moved INTO the split position - a stunt that had it actually been done that way would have been much harder to accomplish.
EVEN SO, whether it happened as claimed by Volvo or shown in reverse it was still a damn impressive feat of strength for a 53 year old !
Not too shabby either for Volvo's drivers and trucks in that case as well.
