If you haven't seen the Volvo truck ad featuring the Belgian martial artist and actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, you are in luck. The video is posted below.

Now, some have argued that this couldn't be real. How could so splits between two moving trucks? Plus, he held the groin-tearing position for over 25 seconds, with Enya singing in the background. That's some weirdly hypnotic combination.

The Volvo YouTube account says of the stunt, "This live test was set up to demonstrate the precision and directional stability of Volvo Dynamic Steering -- a world first technology that makes the new Volvo FM easier to drive. Filmed in Spain on a closed-off landing field at sunrise in one take."

The most incredible part is that the trucks were moving backwards!

Watch the behind-the-scenes footage from the stunt, including the moment when Van Damme was told the trucks will be moving backwards.

It's real, seen him do that a lot of times ( in movies )

This guy is a legend! omo, see split. Most importantly, kudos to the drivers. That's some precision! I'm sure it was Chuck Norris driving both trucks

You are right...the drivers literally had Van Damme's life in their hands. If one of them had turned the wheel slightly, that could have been the end!

The split isn't the issue. I'm sure there lots of people who can split. But doing the splits between two moving semis? That some incredible feat!

This is epic.

kkkossy: This is epic.

Definitely not a lot of people would agree to perform such stunt.
