[Nicholas.]

fake backround, real footage i say. but its edited by thomas a edison...weird?

 

[maclem]

wow the japanese can do almost everything

 

[invader7]

word

 

[Gavajabra2]

No, I don't think we could record shit in 1904, and when he was flipping him it looked 100% fake.

 

[Goobie]

not real but its so funny

 

[mski]

holy cow!

 

[Luckyscs]

Not 1904, the camera was shaking and apeared to be digital. Almost all cameras back then were owned by companies and not handhelds. It would have been still if it were from 1904. I believe that the acrobatics was real though.

 

[Luckyscs]

actually, the second frame shows a written date of april 24 1904. this suggests its legitimacy. The shaking could be from the projector and frams and lack of quality or old film.

 

[anti_bunk]

yes we could. the kinetiscope was invented by thomas edison's company sometime between 1889 and 1892. movies are older than you think. George Meleis' "A Trip to the Moon" the first science fiction movie came out in 1902.

 

[sowstochd]

fucking asians

 

[KravtZ]

def real...asians can do that kind of thing

 

[artfullydodged]

[ecsm.]

[East526]

[45.]

cant imagine how the kids package is doing after all that

 

[pommes_vertes.]

its definitely possible that its real.

 

[twix_182]

i was really hoping that while he was spinning him around horizontally he'd just kick him and he'd go flying

 

[DDrem.]

japs are very nimble little people. i say real

 

[Sideways_Shane]

id say real

 

[TheMoostafian]

haha

 

[garrett.]

can u imagine how fucking strong they are?

 

[sack]

looks legit, because I think cirque du soleil people also do similar stuff.

 

[ski_cartel]

the backround is clearly fake, but at about 3 seconds in teh frame reads

april 29 1904 (in hand writing)

class h xxo,, n

45039 (in hand writing)

copy b

its the kind of label that was used, which may sugest some legitamacy, alltho seeings as it is on youtube its not like we can check the film for its age so we wont really know

 

[Kevski]

asians? yep, so it must be real. looks like it would be fake, but it's probably real.

 

[LS.]

dont ask dumb questions

 

[french_fry]

If you've ever seen a circus show, this is pretty common stuff. Real for sure.

 

[ride-rider]

im thinkin it was real. some of them came to my school last year, they werent that good though.

 

[-+Siver+-]

yeah i think it is real

 

[Jwenz]

i think its real but the thing is...no camears in 1904..i think?

mad sick

 

[*Fujative*]

wheather the "edit" is true or not, i dont know. but im sure the stunts are true

 

[SeanK]

real for sure i just watched another thing just like that..it crazy shit

 

[ColbyV]

pretty sick

 

[akerbacker]

thats so insane. haha i wanna learn to do that

 

[Dynastar1242]

thats insane but it could just be slowed down possible i doubt it could go that fast

 

[Bigwoods]

yeah, asians will take over the world one day

 

[-NY-STeeZE-]

hah

 

[newschooler7]

You gotta watch out for them. If they all jumped at the same time, it would knock the world off its axis. No one wants that.

 

[P3TER]

LOOK! hes doing kickflips with a guy

 

[jp_draves]

haha thats amazing.

 

[anti_bunk]

very real. cameras had been around for almost 20 years when this was filmed.
