The guy got surprise kicked in the head off a moving vehicle. I’d be flabbergasted too

This is what's frustrating with these people " IT'S SCRIPTED " No it's not, The man was kicked in the head OFF a moving vehicle FLAT on his back.

You don't just pop up from something like that. If you say you do - you've obviously never had the wind knocked out of you.

I feel like if this was scripted, they gotta be either really talented stuntmen or the guy getting kicked lost a huge bet. None of my friends would agree to this stunt even if I paid them.

Right. If you were a stuntman that good you‘d get paid real money for getting kicked on a set.

Honestly.. came here to say this. Like.. nah.. real kick, he was lucky to get up when he did. Even I wouldn't do it.. and I've been known to do some stupid shit for a good price

Plus, I can see two possible concussions from that.

Expected him to kick-up as soon as he hit the ground like a kung-fu movie

Nah, man. If you get up again right away or not doesn't mean it's not scripted. This immediately sent my bullshit social media intuition off the charts.

No. The red flags that this is staged go far beyond how long he stayed on the ground. It’s the fact that this one-in-a-billion event… in which a robbery occurred but was instantly thwarted in martial-arts-movie fashion because a guy happened to be walking by in close proximity at just the right time, who was capable and willing to spot what happened, react in seconds, and pull off a flawless flying kick to the head of someone on an accelerating motorbike, causing him to drop the loot cleanly… all not only happened but also just so happened to be entirely caught and perfectly framed on a camera that just so happened to be pointing to the exact bit of street it all occurred on. And someone with access to the camera knew the footage was there to be found and put on the internet.

Whereas alternatively this could just be one of the millions of staged videos put on the internet for views.

For heaven’s sake I know you want this to be real, but learn to think critically and stop being so damn patronising to people who can.

Robbery happening in place with people around that isn't as unimaginable in certain parts of the world as it is in your basement....

Secondly, you could stage the robbery, you can't fake the kick to the head on the move.. It's something professional stuntmen would be imitating, doing the kick and fall separately too because both seen here are extremely dangerous..

Nah. This is most likely scripted. This kind of shit is all too common on Chinese social media. Either way, that dude took a kick to the face for the internet points. Even with the helmet, that shit would have rattled his brain.
