He has been doing a bunch of GoDaddy commercials too. That is nuts.

The "It's Go time" commercials kinda creep me out to be honest, lol

 

[SergeantChuck]

Just for you.

No "Go Daddy" commercials here, but now I know why JCVD was the man to do the Volvo ad, lol

Might be the best truck commercial of the year….but that may be a stretch.

I enjoyed the music in the truck commercial... Had to dig it up. "Only Time" by Enya if anyone else was interested.

So what is Volvo getting at, that their trucks are easy to reverse with a trailer?

I have that song on my phone/mp3 player. Love it!

I just watched it again, very sneaky commercial. The truck on the viewers right is a truck with a trailer and does not turn at all while it is driving. Truck to the left has no trailer, it's just one big cargo truck and it's the one that spaces them out. I don't think they could have done this with both being truck/trailer rigs.

I agree but, even so, going backward with a trailer like in the video is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay dificult

By the way, FYI the video was recorded at the sunrise in Spain, in an almost un-used airport.

There are some videos in youtube about how it was done, and it is very funny to see the face of JCVD while a guy from Volvo is explaining to him what they wanted to do

Wish I could back a truck that straight
