An absolutely brilliant ad in my opinion. Who doesn't want Hiltz to make the jump over the barbed wire every time they watch The Great Escape? This ad gave us the chance. Thanks!
I know, right? I’ve just watched the ad like ten times in a row. It’s addictive. So one with media skills should recut the film with this scene in it, finding the petrol pump and clearing the wire.
Absolutely loved this ad as a kid. However after having seen the ad first before the film I felt so ripped off when he didn’t clear the fence in the actual film.
Digital technology was pretty good back then, digitally adding Steve's head onto the stunt persons body. And how many people picked up on the two different bikes?

@@dustinzaccaria7644 In this modern age of deep fake technology, we could see Steve McQueen making the jump in even more believable detail
Greatest TV advert of its era hands down! Loved it as a kid
Oh my! I cannot believe I never saw this advert.
Lol - that's my Dad.
Really?
for real wow xD
Really? He really looked like him, it was awesome!
Awesome
I loved that Ad, i saw it when i was a teen. I believe it came out around 89 or 1990.
I wish someone would splice this in to the movie.

At least he lived. wasnt one of the escapees shot
@_t_w_s yeah I know
best of the best adverts of all time. :)
Great add, but with one major historical inaccuracy: the Great Escape was in 1943.
Hey, my dad knows that guy!
Brilliant ad.
Steve McQueen…….I saw this movie in 1963 when it came out…….what an experience….Greg
That is literally Fonzie's motorcycle in "The Great Escape".
Not really true
Classic

RIP on my tombstone
Nichts geht über das „Original“ von Mister Cool alias Steve McQueen!
and Bud Ekins
shellllllllll
Cooler
Cool ad and all, but that's NOT Steve McQueen but rather a look alike. Good ad nonetheless.
steve has aged a lot since he got out................
Not Steve. He died aged 50 of cancer in 1980.
i know he died R.I.P.@@user-hd9nc7zp1v
This guy was just a lookalike.................
