Aussie Prank War Climaxes With 13m Holden-Chopping Axe!

The sheer budget of destruction in this video mean this has to be a staged viral effort, but it’s still freaking awesome! There are two hard and fast rules in this world: “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line” and “Never get involved in a prank war in Australia.” Or else very bad things will happen to your Holden.

The massive automotive-bisector above took four metal fabricators over a month and nearly all of one man’s life savings to construct. When done, it measured 13 metres from handle to head and weighed over a ton. But oh man you should have seen the look on his buddy’s face when he realised his four-door had become a two-seater!

    I prefer the Mythbuster rocket powered car slicing sled. But this is cool too

    Branded content maybe? There were far too many product shots others…

    Also the ridiculous overacting is as a giveaway as blatant as a giant axe

      More than dubious that his mate was recording the video chat..
      Maybe get someone from neighbours, you know, who can act?

    Not only was it staged, the “revenger” guy sounds like an absolute knob.

    It’s a HART ad. They zoomed into the logo a few times.

    That have been running ads on the radio for the last few months.

    who cares? the important thing is that 2 commodores were written off in making the video. (only about 2 billion of these hateful arse warts left)

      I wouldn’t necessarily say that a hole in the roof from the first axe would write it off… A bit of putty, good as gold!

        Then stick a Ford badge on it. Noone will be able to tell the difference.
