The jumps nearish the end were very cool.

Hmmm... that's probably the only dance video I've ever liked.

Am I the only one who thinks not all of that was real? :confused:

Some of it can't be fake for the 80s, some of it looks like models (the green the yellow cars with the wheels in the air) some of it looks like the cars HAVE to be attached to each other (where the cars spin around each other.

That's some damned effective advertising. Suddenly I have the urge to buy a used Isuzu…

The 2-wheeling seems mostly real, but there are a couple shots that don't look right. I also don't see how they could just come up on 2 like that unless they're weighted wierd. I was surprised when they took them down the stairs though. But you're right, some of the tandem spinning is way too precise for them to not be attached

I think it was made to "look" like 80's video...

" TV adv of ISUZU Gemini, note that all were not computer graphic, those cars were really 'flying' in the air!"

I don't think computer graphics, animation, and shaders, etc were quite that sophisticated in the 80's. The only other thing I can think of is perhaps some impressive blue screening.

While you're at it, check out this rollover avoidance video. ;)
woot!

Hahaha, that's the most effective commecial I've ever seen. :D

How the hell did they pull off that jump across the river? It totally reminded me of Beetle Adventure Racing for N64.

While I have no doubt that there wasn't CG involved, I am quite sure that a lot of those scenes were not done with "pure" driving alone. However, upon learning that the jump scene in Live and Let Die was pure driving (well, and a hell of a lot of planning), I could see a lot more of this being "real."

Whatever the case, it was awesome to watch.

The only part I enjoyed about this video was the music.

I didn't know those cars can survive jumps like those.

Cars synchronously flying through the air is the funniest thing I've seen in all my 8 decades.
