Tre lots of things wrong with this video

1 the glass is brake proof

the mechnisem is not how it is realy

the belfrey (where the bels are) is not real for that clcok.

and filming in that clock is fobidin.

It's just a film you know? It wasn't filmed in the real place, they recreated the Big Ben's machine room and I think that in the early 1900 there was no break proof glass...

The Big Ben scene, all the closeup scenes were shot on a stage at Pinewood Studios. all outside shots were in Parliment Square. how do I know? because I was there.

This should have been Rated R!

I saw some blood in it.

Even heard some language in it, too.

There are a lot of things wrong with that comment (@elliottveares)

1. There's** break** mechanism** forbidden**

2. You forgot to continue numbering

3. If filming was forbidden then it should be obvious that the belfrey was fabricated

4. And breaking the clock face in a daredevil act is even more forbidden.
