The spot includes Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield hugging it out, Dennis Rodman flying to North Korea and not coming back, Brett Favre poking fun at his flip-flopping, and a hilarious cameo from Craig Sager.

This commercial was set up to demonstrate the precision and directional stability of Volvo Dynamic Steering — a world first technology that makes the new Volvo FM easier to drive. 

Filmed in Spain on a closed-off landing field at sunrise in one take. Pretty much proves that Jean-Claude Van Damme is still a complete badass.
