Common card · No. 276368

"The Epic Split feat. Van Damme (Live Test)" is a 75-second-long commercial released in November 2013 by Swedish company Volvo Trucks, as the sixth commercial in their "Live Tests" advertising campaign. The commercial was made to demonstrate the stability of the Volvo FM trucks while using their implementation of dynamic steering response. It features Belgian actor Jean-Claude Van Damme (then 52 or 53) performing a split on the wing mirrors between two backwards moving trucks set to the music "Only Time" by Irish singer Enya. The commercial was recorded in a single take at the inactive Ciudad Real International Airport in Spain during a sunrise. It was produced by the agency Forsman & Bodenfors and was directed by Andreas Nilsson. It has won several awards, and multiple parodies were based on the commercial.
