Chuck Norris has bested Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Volvo stunt, with just a little bit of help from some computer wizardry

Jean-Claude Van Damme can consider himself well and truly trumped by Chuck Norris, or at least a CGI version of Chuck Norris that is.

After ‘The Muscles from Brussels’ was filmed by Volvo for a viral ad doing the splits across two reversing trucks, the spoofs came thick and fast, but Delov Digital of Hungary came up with a pretty great way to parody the ad.

Using the help of CGI and the likeness of Chuck Norris, they’ve got Walker Texas Ranger straddling two planes, like a real man, with a series of people standing on his iconic cowboy hat. Now that’s impressive…if only it were real.
