October 20, 201114 yr Wow, when in Rome, or in this case South Africa, do as the South Africans do. You can't just slap down your foreign cash and excpect that it will be accepted. Also, small plane takes off, big plane lands. "It connected", you say? It left from Heathrow. It's a direct flight, obviously.
October 20, 201114 yr You're wrong about the money! South African 50 cents looks like this And the same coins is shown in the video
October 20, 201114 yr Author Not only that, Elephant doesn't pay right amount!!! That looks like about 60 Euros. Look at the price of a Unicycle in South Africa: http://www.oddwheel.co.za/index.php?option=com_jhshop&shoppage=By-Brand%2F31_30_QU-AX&Itemid=230
October 20, 201114 yr You're right. Please read "British Currency" as Euros. as far as i know british currency are pounds not euros, in fact you won't do much in UK using euros believe me.
October 20, 201114 yr Author That's not what I meant. I meant, pretend I didn't write "British currency" and read Euros instead...
October 20, 201114 yr C'mon dude, it's a music video. Even if he did use the wrong currency, does it really matter? The video is about breaking free from a dull life (the elephant escaping from the zoo) and finding 'Paradise'. It does not have to be accurate, or realistic. He's a freaking elephant for crying out loud! :laugh3:
October 20, 201114 yr I sure can't wait until people stop overanalyzing every detail of everything this band does. Wow!
October 20, 201114 yr If you want to be really picky, men dressed as elephants make poor zoo attractions.
October 20, 201114 yr If you want to be really picky, men dressed as elephants make poor zoo attractions. The monkey looked upset to see him go.
October 21, 201114 yr I don't think this video should be checked for accuracy. It shouldn’t matter if the plain that the elephant took to Africa looks the same when it goes and when it lands. If you are going to be picky, shouldn’t you have more problems then with how realistic the elephants look like? The monkey looked upset to see him go.:lol:
October 21, 201114 yr It's absolutely South African currency, no doubt about it. About 67 rand to be precise. That's a R50 rand note in the video along with 5 rand coins and 50 cent coins.
October 21, 201114 yr Also, small plane takes off, big plane lands. "It connected", you say? It left from Heathrow. It's a direct flight, obviously. Being an aviation enthusiast, it bothered me as well, no way a private jet could fly that distance direct :D The scene that was meant to be at Heathrow, was actually filmed at Johannesburg. You can easily see a ZS- registration on the aircraft. And then when landing it is footage of a Southwest 737 landing at LAX. Should have just filmed a BA 747 or something :D
October 23, 201114 yr I suppose they had to do it within a matter of days, and they probably thought no one would notice. I was quite pleased when I saw Chris place down that R50 note :laugh3: They probably also assumed that no one would know the cost of a unicycle in South Africa. :P
