Can Throwing

Apparently this is a YouTube classic that I've missed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prIXZqy-ie4

It's supposedly done without special effects (but with a lot of re-takes).

(And since I'm also on YouTube, I also just saw this Live Action Hamster Video Game. I don't know why it makes me laugh but it does.)

*updated 1/31: The hamster video moved, so I updated the link*

  1. How long did it take you to realize the video was altered? I was sucked in for about 30 seconds.

  2. Nah, I believe that it's real. There's one shot that looks borderline fake, but I think it's more a result of crappy video than anything. The sequel (on their web site: http://vietnam-26.skyblog.com/ or YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw5ZGWTETQg) actually has outtakes at the end. But I don't know, it could be a ruse. Either way, it's cool to watch.

  3. Those young men drink entirely too much soda.

  4. Oh no - the hamster video you were referencing has been removed by the user!
    The cans bit is pretty cool. Since I'll be living on Sprite for a bit, maybe I'll practice my can-throwing. :)
