When's this thing playing here in the states? Nice job.
To: Sir Gawain
Amazing. I could just imagine all the cussing during 607 takes.

I hope the guy that came up with this commercial gets an award... then fired. What was he thinking?! Brilliant film though.

Prelude, Civic, Accord, Odessy and Acura MDX. In that order. Guess when I was single, when I got married, when I had kids and when I became very successful in my business?
Ya fill 'em with gas, ya change the oil, ya start 'em up and drive em. Never a problem. None.

Oddly, there is an email urban legend going around that this took just one take.

"Oddly, there is an email urban legend going around that this took just one take."It's all one shot—there's no edits. It's an amazing feat and a really cool commercial, no doubt about it. However, it could have been done entirely with high-end computer animation, for about a tenth the price, and on a TV screen literally no one would have been able to tell the difference. So it's basically just performance art: It isn't cool because of how it looks, but because someone was stupid wacky enough to do it.

With 600 takes, I imagine it wouldn't be hard to do it in one shot.

Filming was done over four near-sleepless days in a Paris studio,
Sorry. Not gonna watch it. Boycott, ya know.
But don't those walking windshield wipers look cool?
