Slow Mo Guys Superman Eyeball. vs Bullet
Remember the 2006 film ‘Superman Returns’ starring Brandon Routh? If so, then you probably remember the scene where a bank robber shoots the superhero square in the eye at point-blank. Well, the Slow Mo Guys attempt to recreate this scene in ultra slow motion at 20,000 FPS.
