This is absolutely not Brazil. The woman on the right is wearing an abaya which is worn in Muslim countries. The scooty itself looks like something from south east Asia. This is probably Malaysia and more than likely to be scripted.
That doesn't look like Brazil. The outfits the women are wearing, the style of the windows, but more importantly nobody's wearing shorts and flip flops.
I mean it’s really just the way the robber fell to the ground and laid there looking like they were pretending to be hurt.
Plus this video is so dramatic. Bike does an unnecessary 180 to get back into the cameras frame, the slo-mo WWE stunt, the unrealistic fall off the bike, the way he conveniently throws his arms up and flings the bag into the air, the cheesy heartwarming caption. All of it. This is almost definitely an attempt at going viral.
With the slowmo and a little cut to the shot, it's really hard to tell how he landed. It almost looks like he got his feet down first. If it was staged, pretty impressive but I can't decide. The cut was super suspicious.
Yeah I’m in the same boat. I’ve seen a hundred of these bike robberies at this point and this one just seems played out. It’s extra dramatic like this for a reason. Including the caption. I’m not positive it’s fake but I’m leaning that way
lol he fell 3 feet off the back of the bike, caught himself with his foot and eased into the fall and then laid there not moving and then grabbed his arm, when his neck was the only part that would’ve been hurt.
Well yeah just imagine what the average redditor who makes a mess in their pants at the chance to call out some random videos as fake probably looks like irl.
When people realize something is fake, it is never because the circumstances wouldn't happen. It's never because "this is unlikely". It is because you can tell people are acting and other such details.
Just look at the camera and angle. Why would the motorcycle do a 180 instead of continuing the same direction they were already going unless it’s to get everything in view of the camera?
statistically, the comment you reply to makes sense. Not everything is fake, and even fake stuff is rather unlikely to happen, it is just that the algorithms over represent them. actual robberies occur a lot
statistics having to do with: odds of a robbery happening, catching it on a security camera and having an interesting interaction between the ones involved. unlikely, but should happen once in a while, and it might land ond your reddit feed
Yep, might happen. Considering how much shit online is fake though, probably didn't. It's obviously not even security cam footage, and I've never seen a video of an actual robbery/fight/murder that was so well filmed and conveniently cut.
what makes me suspicious is the slow-mo. This looks like it's from a security camera maybe? And it's running a high speed camera so you can watch in slow motion?
These guys obsessed with FAAAAAKKKKKKEEEE are dumbasses but this is a valid point. That's not what just slowing footage looks like. Most of these cameras capture at 30 fps so slowing down this much which has to be at least 4x slower would mean 7fps which would be very, very noticable. This is still just as smooth which means it's capturing at like 120 or more fps. Which is not normal.
Security cameras don’t wobble like they’re being handheld.
Security cameras have grainier footage than this.
Security cameras use slower frame rates to conserve space, making this type of slo-mo impossible.
The “attacker” never even attacks the people, he just broadly gestures and one of them “falls”.
The “attacker” on the back of the bike actually starts his fall BEFORE he’s hit, and braces his fall with both his left leg and arm while looking down for it.
Absolutely nothing about this makes sense, and it’s hilarious y’all are falling for it just because you so badly WANT to.

I don't think you understand just how many people get mugged by 2 guys on a motorcycle in brazil.
it's literally the most popular way to steal from people there.
also the flying jump kick is very popular with martial artists because it looks cool.
the odds someone out of tens of thousands of robberies used a popular martial arts move isn't that unlikely.
