        Looked real enough to me. If they staged it they did a mighty fine job of it.

          The rebound gives it away - then the injury - very Hollywood. Try to rebound a steel ball off a champagne bottle or anything else in that prop. This guy posted the way he did this elsewhere.

            I was surprised that the ball rebounded the way it did. You may be right.

              I watched this and the making of it quite a while back. There was no rebound. He actually stood by the structure and shot a ball where he was standing. Used Windows Paint to stitch it all together.

                I've been duped. Until I think of a better excuse, it's because I'm really tired. :-D

                  Reminds me of having a BB rebound to my jewels once. Once.

                    When I was a kid a BB came back and popped me on the knee cap. Hurt like hell.

                      Thanks for the link. It was enjoyable. I replayed the ricochet several times (attempting to go by frame - as much as you can in a flash player) until I seen the tell-tale pixel blur on a pasted image around 1:23 to 1:24. It was still funny though. As DavidCrow stated, the how it was made video is available. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bc5HUS8dLN0[^]

                          The most obvious way to tell it was a fake was how perfect the camera landed when he fell. Still in perfect frame.

                          There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
