I don't think you could possibly list all the things these guys do wrong



Spoiler.... just after the 4 minute mark it changes somewhat :P

How to unbog a vehicle, bit by bit.

I now know how to say "Now what" in Chinese. Would love to see part two, their next attempt.

Is there a way to get that translated into English? I would like to know what was said the moment the Xtrail had its ass torn off. Is that the Chinese 4WD Action team?

Come on, you can see it written all over his face, it have to be something like
" What's the missus going to say", silly boy will never hear the end of it, then there's the Mother In Law.....

The standard of cinematography is about the same level as the standard of the recovery techniques.

Why is it that almost every "recovery" video consists of several minutes of people standing around scratching their heads, followed by a few seconds of what the video is supposed to be about and then concludes with several more minutes of people falling about laughing or weeping at the damage they have done.

There is absolutely nothing of interest until at least the 2 minute mark and not much worth watching until about the 4 minute mark.

I'm not having a shot at you for posting the video. My criticism is of the person who filmed it and first put it on the web. Don't these people know that movies are supposed to involve movement of people and objects in the frame, not just random movement of the camera? Don't these people understand that there is software available to edit videos? Don't they understand that this 5:42 video would have much more impact if it was edited to about 30 seconds?

What happened was spectacular and amusing, but why did they want us to be bored for about 5 minutes and amused for about half a minute?
