They played with fire there with some of the stuff they did in an apparently open plaza. High speed vehicles, shooting firearms (with blanks, but still) etc. all in an uncontrolled area.

You'd never be allowed to do this in Australia or, I dare say, America.

And I agree. That's not Drama 'We know Drama'. No you don't. If you pick a movie in the 'drama' genre you're going to get very little of what was just shown and far more deep discussions and crying and long stares into the middle distance.

Apparently "We know Action but think it's called Drama"

Oh, and women in underwear, we know that too, doesn't really fit into Action or Drama.

Given the amount of cameras and the way everyone was standing around expectantly I think it's clear it was a controlled performance with no chance of any mishap.

Umm. Hate to say it, but I would classify that more as "Action" than "Drama".
Just sayin'.

Very cool ad even if it's all staged.
Anyone knows how come it's in English while Belgians speak French or Flemmish ??


There's mention of this on reddit where someone states that usage of the English language is common in some areas including signage.

Improv Everywhere just got upstaged big time!

@Yogi Just the French portion of the Belgians then? Nothing to say about the considerable Dutch and German speaking segments of Belgium then?

There's a reason Belgium is central to European politics. Anyhow, I just wanted to pull you up about your racist comment and point out that French-speaking Belgians only account for a portion of overal Belgian society
