I searched and didn't think anyone had posted this yet.

"There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film you are about to see. Everything you see happened in real time, exactly as you will see it. The film required 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The film cost six million dollars, and it took three months to complete."

"There are only six hand-made Accords in the world. The filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Accord) is parts from those two cars."

Wow.. 6 million? I can see it being costly but not nearly that much.

Not true...it's very easy to run long ads in America.....however the format is rarely considered for many reasons. This spot would be a great reason to run it...I'm actually surprised it never got on American TV during the superbowl or something.

IIRC, this isn't true. There was one digital stich done because the studio wasn't big enough to house the entire machine at once.
