One of the comments

A rare comment from me to explain why this stunt is actually 100% real and give people a better appreciation of this video.
Rewatch this a few times after you read my post.

1) The trucks are driven in reverse for two reasons. People who've driven anything with a trailer know how difficult it is to keep it completely steady in reverse. The secondary reason is there's less possibility of JCVD being run over, if he were to have fallen off.

2) The trucks are NOT identical. The truck on the left of the video is 3 axled and the truck on the right is 5 axled. What this means is the truck on the left is a box truck, while the truck on the right is a truck + trailer. This is important as it explains why the truck on the left is the one that moves. If you turn while reversing a trailer, the trailer WILL turn in the opposite direction. This means if the truck on the right had done the spreading, the trailer would have moved closer to the other truck and made the stunt impossible. If you want to try this in real life...push and pull a kids wagon or a pallet jack while turning. You'll understand why this is so significant.

3) There are 4 people you can see in the trucks. Two of them are watching the solid lines to understand spacing. The other two are observing the dotted lines...notice the right truck occasionally has a white spot show up near the right side of the right truck. The dotted lines and spots are used by the other two people to gauge their timing/speed.

This is an absolutely amazing and creative stunt. Hats off to whoever designed the stunt in it's entirety; they really thought it out.

Now you can watch it again

Watching the making of the Epic split by Van Damme is a fantastic insight to the confidence of the crew setting up this stunt. When I saw the ad, I first questioned its validity and if it was just CGI. But then knowing it was shot without effects, watching it again, along with the making of, it really does show how slick the whole thing was done.

Don't overcook it. You overcook it, it's no good. It defeats its own purpose.
