RANDOM TREASURE: We found out that this Bollywood guy, Ajay Devgun, did the same way back in the 90's. Here's what you get when Van Damme's voice meets Bollywood split:
The Van Damme stunt was done with just ONE take: how did they do it?! Watching the behind-the-scenes video might explain a thing or two.
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.”
Volvo says Van Damme does have one foot on each truck as the two vehicles slowly back up and get farther apart.
