And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of
dominos to knock over were amazing. There are no
computer graphics or digital tricks in the film.
Everything you see really happened in real time
exactly as you see it.

The film took 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 crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the
time it was over, they were ready to change
professions.

The film cost six million dollars and took three
months to complete including full engineering of the
sequence. In addition, it\'s two minutes long so every
time Honda airs the film on British television,
they\'re shelling out enough dough to keep any one of
us in clover for a lifetime.

Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls,
floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from
those two cars.

The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was
shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented
on how amazing computer graphics have gotten.

They fell off their chairs when they found out it was
for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers.
On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water
sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as
they become wet.
