I suppose those two assholes realize how lucky they are to be alive. If the Bimmer driver had been alone, without his girlfriend, they might be in the ground now.

Everybody they know has undoubtedly seen this clip by now. Imagine what their lives have been like lately!

(BTW, sending the girl to get the camera was a very bad move, as was letting the fat fuck keep the bat in his hand.)

I couldn't even watch the whole thing. It was like getting my brain sucked out thru a thin straw as it was, and I barely got a couple minutes in.

You have to watch the ending. Scary.

But I agree, the girl should have stayed in the car and the baseball bat should have been thrown in the woods.

On the other hand a .38 (was it a .38?) pointed at the fat guys chest was a pretty strong argument and the guys in the pick up were not really very smart nor a real challenge ...

Do you all think this is for real? I mean the whole thing somehow strikes me as unbelievable. I mean if you wanna have a bit of a fight, don't you somehow expect the other one to have a gun? And you come with a baseball bat? I mean this is the US! No?

On the other hand - there are enough stupid dumba**es out there...

And: If it was a fake I think they would have concealed their faces before putting it on the internet - because I don't want to have their faces right now...

The same thing occurred to me after thinking about it for a while. Something doesn't quite ring true.

Why did the camera operator film the driver digging into the bed of the pickup? Wouldn't he have kept the camera on the people in the Bimmer? And I really don't think the driver of the BMW would've sent his girlfriend to take the camera away from the other guy, who never did put the camera down.

And the things the two supposed "rednecks" were saying during the "pursuit" were awfully cliched, weren't they?

It may well be a put-on.

Not necessarily. I think he wanted to show whoever he had planned to show the film to, how cool they were.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Zardoz', 'A')nd I really don't think the driver of the BMW would've sent his girlfriend to take the camera away from the other guy, who never did put the camera down.


Actually he did. He just did not switch it off. And yes, a gun can be very scary. I've seen people literally peeing themselves when threatened with a gun.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Zardoz', 'A')nd the things the two supposed "rednecks" were saying during the "pursuit" were awfully cliched, weren't they?.


Yeah, well I don't know. But these two didn't look very clever. So it could be that they wanted to look really cool on film and therefore using all the cliches.

just my 2c

No I don't think it's for real. The probably all know each other and were bored on a saturday or something...and also no, it does not appear to be the US. They guys in the truck are clearly Canadian.

Thanks for that info. I find it interesting why many people, including me, thought it was real when first watching it. I have the theory it's because we want it to be real.

Who doesn't know some bullies like them two, and how many times have you wished you could stick a gun in their face?

It's a bit like why many people don't want to see the reality of PO...

No probs. It was pretty good improvisation on their part. We all know about/ have experienced some "road rage," so it's not terribly far-fetched.

Lighthouse.... don't feel bad. It's truly amazing how much phantasmagoric nonsense perfectly intelligent people fall for. No one is immune from this. Not me, not you.... no one.

If they wanted to make it convincing they should have actually shot those two guys that would have made it seem more real.
