is that for real? I mean the tire thingy looked kinda weird... must have took hell of a time to set it up.

Hasn't this one been posted before? At least, I'm sure I've already seen it.

Ah well, it's still incredible every time. But yes, the tires are suspicious.

Yeah, that is pretty amazing.

They did fake some of the stuff, but for the most part they just had to keep redoing it until they got it right.

Also, I think that the floor is angled downward.

It took them something like 200 shots to get the scene to work though.

though it could be possible on a inclined floor, shot a certain way.

well if the floor was inclined.. then shouldn't things tend to roll? unless u say the friction was great enough.. then that still dosen't explain the tires.

what about that box kinda ovel shape thing? it wouldn't roll so far and for so long with that kidna shape... would it?

tires were counter weighted, just learnt the rolling exhaust was generated to join the two halves of the movie

one of the tires rolls up, hits the next, rolls back down a bit, then rolls up again Confused

Yes. Momentum, collision/rebound, and weights acting again.
