Yeah, I saw this a while, but didn't see it finish...man, simply amazing...I have nagging doubts and am slightly sceptical, but by all reports it's all genuine. Man, the team must have cheered when they finally got it right! 606 takes, wow! Talk about determination and persistance!

Surely some of it must've been done with copmputers? For example, the tyres going up the ramp, the cog continuing to roll after hitting the windscreen and abruptly stopping, the small ball getting launched perfectly right into the air to knock a tyre off a table, etc... Some stuff just defies the laws of physics.

Hmm yeah it seemed a bit unrealistic when the tires rolled uphill... I saw the shortened version of this on TV a while back and thought it was pretty cool.

Nope, no computer graphics involved, just lots of delicate manual setup...

At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work.

This page talks about how it was done:
