Talent contest duo appear to lack talent
This pair decided to audition for a Russian talent competition. The results are shown on the video.
Amazingly, the victim survived - although I suspect that there wasn't much brain to damage!
They come in *uhoh, duo and bow?* They perform really bad I-never-actually-trained-this-for-real stunts and bad dancing. *groan* Apple appears in bad stunt routine *this will only end badly* Fails to balance apple, uses beercan. *someone stop them* The inevitable and oh so foreseeable happens...
PS: Fake/staged. The biggest cutting blooper is when he goes to grab the can. In the shot of the judges just before the camera changes, there's no papers in front of the black-shirted judge, but there is in the shot where he grabs the can.
you can move papers around but you can't fake an arrow traveling about 150-200 feet per second- there was no cut away when he released the arrow.
I hunt using a recurve bow. In the 40's the Robin Hood movies, featuring Erol Flynn, had the famous Howard Hill doing the stunt shooting. It is well documented that he 'shot' them all with a 100lb bow. I suspect this one is in the 35-45lb range as the fellow holds it at full draw for a while.
Flynn's stunt men hated Hill because he nailed them- hard. Obviously, they wore a steel plate under their costumes with some stuffing for the arrow to hit and stick- no comfort there; it still hurt. This guy got shot- plain and simple no plate unless under the skin, I pray he survived it. John
You can't edit the reaction. If it had been staged, there would have been anguish and an emotional reaction. Instead, there was the typical reaction of disbelief and the slow realization something terrible just happened.
What a trainwreck...

ReplyDeleteActually it's extremely simple with today's video editing programs.

ReplyDeleteHaving checked around the web a bit, the the evidence points to it being a viral advertisement for the beer.
