I'm taking a course in 3D graphics, and I know what something that was made in a 3D program looks like. The speed that it was moving at, the lighting and how easily they "pushed" it makes it seem a little too good to be true. Also, super-glue isn't as strong as everyone thinks it is, and a lego boulder traveling at that velocity would have broken at least a little, even with super-glue. XD
I dont think it was all CGI but apparently the boulder was just a wooden shell plated with legos. Meaning it probably wasnt as many bricks of lego as it was made to seem
@Berelore, you need to understannd that lego bricks aren't as hollow as you'd imagine. If you take, let's say, a hundred bricks and stuck them together, you could roll it across most surfaces, and it will not sound hollow at all, you know why? The hollow sound you hear is the sound of the shock the "ball" experiences, this sound is then echoed inside the ball, that's what makes the hollow sound. This wouldn't be possible with legos, as there is no space for the echo to spread, it all gets trapped into the small tiny spaces that you call "hollow" inside the small tiny boxes.
I'll give you a single reason to why this isn't possible. let's say that a single lego brick will weigh in at an average of 0.004 kg (0,008 lb). Now let's take 5 million of those, that would mean 0.004 kg (0,008 lb) x 5 000 000 = 12500 kg, or 12 and a half metric tonne (27557.7 lb). The tree and the car should be demolished by the sheer weight, not to mention the asphalt being ruined by the bricks.
There doesn't seem to be a single Lego block in there: 1st - If you look closely when they close up to the ball around 0:24, you can see how the edges lack paint in some parts, and can even see a cardboard pattern on the surface as the guy touches it. 2nd - And most important: from 0:56 onwards, when the ball is descending the road, look closely at the center, to the block with the chinese character on it. You can see it bounce and tear apart several times before the scene being cut.Said block has even a circular shaped hole in the center. That looks like cardboard to me, and also sounds and behaves like cardboard. Finally the light brown color is quite abundant between the rest of the colors, and it is shown on the mysteriously irregular painting changes near the edges of the big blocks. This would make me think that this ball was almost surely made of carboard boxes glued together, and painted to seem like Lego pieces put together.
Rio Rio those lines are not a cardboard pattern but in fact those lines are the light hitting the studs on the lego plates. It looks like they probably glued/nailed lego tan baseplates to a plywood frame and glued a thin layer of lego plates to the baseplates with the lego studs facing outward on all sides. I estimate that there is around 100,000 lego plates on the ball but nowhere near a million as they said.
I'm willing to believe that it's a real object made out of some other material like wood and coated with a layer of bricks and glue. fun video, very creative.
The first time I saw this I immediately said no way, this would break down in a million pieces right away. Then Mythbusters did it, and it broke down in a million pieces right away. I want my money, Mythbusters. I WANT MY MONEY!
For crying out loud,just because mythbusters busted the myth doesn't mean you have to say "MYTHBUSTERS BUSTED THIS,I SAW IT ON TV SO IT MAKES ME SMARTER THAN THEM."This video was made to entertain people,learn to think for YOURSELF!!!
Mythbusters proved you can't do it just by putting them together...but the ball they made did roll. So if they used glue, like these people most likely did, then the ball would not have fallen apart.
the myth busters marathon brought me here 😂
Same 😂😂
Me too
Came here from caught on camera😄
me too
Me too.
Clearly this is the work of one thing: The KRAGLE!
Finally, a good comment.
Holy fuck I remember watching this when I was a kid, I was 8 years old when this came out. Damn I watched this a ton of times
saaaame
same
Mythbusters busted this thing!
I think they forgot about super glue.
Even if I've seen the Mythbusters episode of this like three or four times, I still like watching this video occasionally. Was fun guys.

Myth BUSTED
Graeme Daulby not fake they used glue the myth busters did not
it wasnt real...hollow as fuck you can clearly hear it as is bounces...
CGI
***** I'm fucking retarded for pointing out it's CGI? it's pretty obvious dude, you actually thought it was real?
it's on UA-cam... must be fake :s
The news always gets this stuff wrong.. it was proven fake a while ago
I dont think it was all CGI but apparently the boulder was just a wooden shell plated with legos. Meaning it probably wasnt as many bricks of lego as it was made to seem
Play from 0:58 at .25 speed. Watch the top of the shadow. You will see a random jump. This is a flaw with the special effects.
@@giulytheboy that's most likely a baseplate, a flat sheet of lego
One of the first UA-cam videos I ever saw! :D
And complete fake The MythBusters already prove this guy wrong that ball did not reach the bottom of Lombard Street it split into a million pieces.
Joninzuu me to
Haha, this was one of my first videos I favorited (and I reached capacity about a month ago) 😂
If I remember right, this was the very first UA-cam video I watched after my dad showed me when I was back in either middle or high school.
Oh man a classic old Lego video I remember watching this when I was a kid
I remember this when I was 8 years old in 2008, found out to be cool.
sounds very hollow.
Because LEGO aren't basically just a bunch of tiny empty boxes... If it didn't sound hollow I'd be more worried.
@Berelore, you need to understannd that lego bricks aren't as hollow as you'd imagine. If you take, let's say, a hundred bricks and stuck them together, you could roll it across most surfaces, and it will not sound hollow at all, you know why?

...I was honestly expecting the like/dislike numbers to be the exact opposite of what they actually are, given the MythBusters thing.
Love how they're all dressed up as characters from Indiana Jones.
Hahaha. Absolutely hilarious, and very original. Loved it.
*MYTH: BUSTED*
(insert 'Busted' plate here)
I think if they superglued the pieces together, the results would've been better. I think the boulder in this video is superglued together.
Flippen awesome!
Thats awesome!!
8 years later....
My question is did myth busters try to glue it all together or even super glue? I have a feeling this is possible
I'll give you a single reason to why this isn't possible.
let's say that a single lego brick will weigh in at an average of 0.004 kg (0,008 lb). Now let's take 5 million of those, that would mean 0.004 kg (0,008 lb) x 5 000 000 = 12500 kg, or 12 and a half metric tonne (27557.7 lb).
The tree and the car should be demolished by the sheer weight, not to mention the asphalt being ruined by the bricks.
Probably simultaneously the worst and best idea anybody could ever have.
You got me there. I never miss an episode. I did like the firehose car lift as well.
When it’s 2017 and can now tell what was and wasn’t fake
Santiago Vazquez what was fake and what wasn’t fake?
The 5m pieces is fake. It was 1m.
They glue it all together.
Look at the back no pieces are coming off.
i love legos and loved it
You can tell from the way the ball moves and sounds it is hollow. Probably Lego glued on plywood.
Still great illusion though.
there no really legos because other wise it would have crushed the car and it should have cracked in to peaces i am a lego enthusiast and it is a lie
If you were a Lego enthusiast you'd know the plural of Lego is Lego...
just saying.
have a good one
1. That's a lame job and 2. They are real legos but they used glue or something stronger to keep it together
not a lie...just glued together
I am tired of all these "ITS FAKE, DISLIKE" comments. We already know.
actually they probably glued this together,
I love watching old myths get busted.
gotta love mythbusters but still a cool idea none the
less.
Mythbusters brought me here and sad it's fake
Atri Richards aren't you a special snowflake?
They probably superglued it
we watched the mythbusted video too
fake, it's animated from the point they roll it down the hill
KAL That’s why I watched Mythbusters
Noooooo shit Sherlock.
Really they used glue that’s. Why it did not fall apart
dude they have a bts and in there they glued it together not build it
Oh my I saw this Mythbusters episode and..... Wow that's awesome!!!!
I'm sorry Sir, your car insurance does not cover giant Lego boulder smashing your car
There doesn't seem to be a single Lego block in there:
1st - If you look closely when they close up to the ball around 0:24, you can see how the edges lack paint in some parts, and can even see a cardboard pattern on the surface as the guy touches it.

it is a good paint job though

Alyson Hunter doesn’t explain the tear at :56
I think I see it.
It is super glued
BUSTED!!! (FAKE)
HowToArmyCadet well I hope you don't count on that poorly built non glued ball from myth busters
THIS IS AWESOME!!! :D
It's totally a masterpiece. :)
I miss those good ol' days in the late 1990s when life was slow and peaceful like that
I've watched this video 30 times but myth busters proved it was wrong
Ahh, that moment when you realise this went up on the internet NINE YEARS AGO.
That moment when you realize this persons comment went up THREE YEARS AGO
I remember watching this as a kid
Cool!!!
Mythbusters proved that the ball was fake.
Awesome
Myth busters got you fooling in san!
LOL and the Sean Connery guy at 0:42
Lol I would wanna be chased by a lego boulder
amazing
i LOVE the fez
Mythbusters, thanks.
so cool
LOL myth busters
Nice hahaha good vid!!
COOOL!
Two words "myth busters"
if mythbuster used super glue, it might have worked.
as if theres 5 million of those, myth busters emptied the whole america and only had half a million
Busted !! :)
You just go Mythbustered.
I remember watching this and it was on the news like a day later
Mythbusters: it's fake
Everyone: SUPER FUCKING GLUE
nice fez
Over 9000!
I miss the 1990s! Look how slow everything was.
Ha ha awesome and cool
Hahah....even though science is a repetitive process , I agree with you. XD
they just glued it together but really cool idea :D
That guy went to to the Prometheus school of running away from things
this is real guys,
STOP SAYING ITS FAKE.
They built it themselves somewhere in 2008 i remember on mythbusters i think it was.
Just saw this on Mythbusters. BUSTED!!
Mythbusters got it all wrong. They probably glued the pieces together
Mythbuster BUSTED
Mythbusters were right that you glued the lego pieces if that rolled right into the tree it would break apart!
I'm watching this on mythbusters right now :)
I miss the 1990s when everything was that simple.
légo, indiana jones, et des grands tarés ! tout ce que j'aimeeeeeee =p
.....I think that Fez is glued to that guys head
I suspect it's made out of foam, judging by how it didn't damage that car.
Still funny as hell.
I'm willing to believe that it's a real object made out of some other material like wood and coated with a layer of bricks and glue. fun video, very creative.
Ok, so it's busted.
It still looks freaking awesome.
I remember seeing this when this video came out.
OMG i just saw the part on mythbusters where it crumbled a part :O that was insane
Oh my god! At first I thought wow. But when it hit the car, I went holy Crap.
The first time I saw this I immediately said no way, this would break down in a million pieces right away.
Then Mythbusters did it, and it broke down in a million pieces right away.
I want my money, Mythbusters. I WANT MY MONEY!
BUSTED! But looks great!
Imagine what would happen if it wasnt glued..... LEGO EXPLOSIOOOONN!!!!!!
Myth busters debunked this
I don't care what the mythbusters say about this one (sorry guys. You are still the best!) this video is still cool
Im watchin myth busters, u got screwed
For crying out loud,just because mythbusters
busted the myth doesn't mean you have to say "MYTHBUSTERS BUSTED THIS,I SAW IT ON TV SO IT MAKES ME SMARTER THAN THEM."This video was made to entertain people,learn to think for YOURSELF!!!
Indiana Jones;)
haha 1:12 ... boom!!!!
The End was Cooooooolll
one word. GLUED
But then again, Mythbusthers didn't glue the millions of pieces together.
I CAME IN LIKE A WREEEEEECKING BAAAALLLL
Even without the Mythbuster it was obviously fake... There is NO way a boulder made of legos would roll like that without losing ANY pieces.
Mythbusters proved you can't do it just by putting them together...but the ball they made did roll. So if they used glue, like these people most likely did, then the ball would not have fallen apart.
