There are rare occasions when you come across an obscure [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-screen) video that makes you chuckle til your cheeks hurt and 'Free Running: Green Screen Style' is one of those videos.

Depicting the antics of three dudes who are obviously performing in front of a green screen, the funny footage hilariously has the trio re-enacting [extreme feats of athleticism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bulls-building-drop) to surprisingly realistic results. As the guys jump over speeding cars, hang horizontally on poles and stand on one leg atop a moving bus, the infamous Guile Theme from the Street Fighter games is played in the background, proving correctly the popular Internet meme that "Guile Theme goes with everything."

'Free Running: Green Screen Style' was uploaded onto YouTube by user Vernon Villanueva, who made the video along with his two schoolmates for a class in digital video editing.
