A Gunfight Broke Out in the Middle of a Town in Belgium . . . but It Was Just a Publicity Stunt by TNT

 

TNT is launching in Belgium for the first time, and the promo they did to announce it is getting some views online:  They went to a quiet town square and put a red button in the middle of the street, with a sign that said, quote, "Push to Add Drama."

 

 

--Then when someone pushed it, stuntmen came out of nowhere and started acting out the kind of thing you'd see in an action movie . . . only a little more random.

 

 

--First an ambulance showed up, a guy on a bike crashed into it, and one of the medics got into a fistfight with him.  Then a woman in a bikini drove through on a motorcycle . . . and eventually a huge gunfight broke out. 

 

 

--It looks like a staged viral video, right down to the 'surprised' reactions from the people watching.  But it's still pretty cool.  (--Search for "A Dramatic Surprise on a Quiet Street."  A guy pushes the button at :27.)
