I thought DOF had to do with focus range, not perspective.

Depth Of Field has to do with focus. The type of lens and the F-stop (aperture) affect DOF, and the result is the range of things that are in focus.
When you use a telephoto (zoom) lens to create the impression that things are closer together than they really are it is called a "compression" shot.
While the technique presented here is correct the term you used isn't. This is a "Compression" technique.

It's Mark Wahlberg!

depth of field is focus through reduction of aperture and adjusting shutter speed by stopping down you move the focus and this allows you to achieve a focus beyond the lense normal focal capabilites

like a dolly yeah?

The car thing was mostly just the specific example that looked poor. The concept works wonderfully. You can use it in all kinds of situations. Have an explosion that seems to be right next to an actor, while in truth the actor is a dozen feet away.
The point is that you can have anything you want appear to be right next to something else without actually being near each other.

The punching thing was useful.
But the car thing didn't do it for me.
It didn't even look like it hit her.

Doesn't depth of field have to do with aperture, focal length, and manual focus?

Yes, both these tricks are set up with the camera further away, then zoomed in to "crunch" the depth of field... Aperture plays less of a role in achieving the desired effect unless you have a higher-end camcorder (& you'll need filters if you tweak the aperture).
