Seven years later, this is still the most incredible thing I have seen on youtube.

There are 4 legends . The man who created the idea and was brave to produce it, the 2 incredible drivers and Jean Claude.

No trucks were hurt by Jean-Claude Van Damme during the making of this commercial.

I really love Van Damme because he really takes care of the trucks. He was spending the time with the engineers to make sure that the trucks are strong enough and aren't going to be injured performing the stunt. What a legend!!!

In reality, Van Damme pushed the Volvo trucks apart.

Not gonna lie, this is one of the very few commercials I am willingly watching over and over for years to come

Anyone else here in 2020 wondering why this popped up?!

It‘s 2021 now and this comment kind of exploded. Good to see that JCVD and Volvo still get a lot of ppl together. 😊

[CanadianMang]

The guy telling him about the whole things gives off such a calm and compassionate vibe.

[abobobilly]

Is there anyone who's going to acknowledge the absolutely perfect driving by those lorry drivers?

“Wait a second if they keep opening up, I can, fall down” true fear from the true legend😂

[videosmydad]

I get goose-bumps every time I watch this. This was truly a masterpiece of engineering, photography, direction, and Jean Claude Van Damme!!!

[jonasdauerbrenner]

he clearly didn't know what his agent booked him for :D

[artistlindaleehall]

8 years later and I still have to watch this over and over, several times a year. Legendary.

[Skycube]

You can sense the fear in him, I love that he still went for it

[PixelRo]

That awkward moment when you replay an ad instead of skipping it

[holger]

This could have gone wrong in a split-second

[vwlssnvwls]

The amount of faith put into those mirrors, drivers, road, and even shoes is mind boggling. I have always loved JCVD.

[Conceptcreator]

I just feel pain when looking at this! But mad respect!!!
