Here's a clue guys

A car at 50mph would be travelling roughly 73? feet per second. Edit: IR not gud at math



Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The car was added in later and timed around his jump. Either that or raping mormons gives you vertical speed akin to Superman. That must be how those polygamists got away.

The car wasn't added later. Like I said, you can see Kobe's shadow on the car, he just happens to be closer to the camera than the car.

Used to see this trick in skate-boarding vids.

It's done in reverse there though, the car is in front.

He was on PTI yesterday and they asked him if it was him that jumped over the car. He compared it to Sly Stallone still doing Rambo at 60 in terms of him doing his own stunts. He kept beating around the bush at the question and pretty much made the point that its Hollywood and he didnt really jump the car.

^ This. You can see his shadow against the side of the car.

There's no special effects, just trick photography. Although from the looks of it, he really could do it.

They should have chosen to do it later at night so the shadow wasn't as pronounced.

Yeah, I saw him on PTI.. and he said he 'could' jump over a car, implying that he actually didn't.

There's something on the side of the car that might be a shadow, maybe. Post a screenshot if you can catch a "pronounced" shadow.

But before you do that, check out where Kobe's feet are compared to the streetlamp's shadow in this first pic.

Then check out how the car drives over and completely covers the streetlamp's shadow.

It's still fake.

Good point, but I think the car is turning in around him to give that effect. You hear screaching of tires (which shouldnt happen in a straight line) and you can see the front tires are turned in. The car may have been mere inches from him, but still to the side of him, turning in at the end. He jumps forward, car turns in behind him.

The car does turn in. Watch the shadow of the lamp he's standing on. He jumps over the end of the car a little bit, because you can see the back of the car go over the lamp shadow he was standing on.

I am surprised this is a 2 page thread.

It would take how long to make this video effect in After Effects? 6 seconds?

He probably could do it. There's not a chance in hell him, his agent, his team, or anyone else would ever allow such a dangerous stunt.

0% chance it's real.

He was on PTI the other day and they asked him about it. He didnt deny it, but he also said, i can jump over a vehicle.
