Before I view it.. I'm gonna guess it's either something making fun of the way Chinese people park or it's from that Shaolin Soccer movie..

it looks like some sort of variable command in some language...
but what the heck does this mean?

$last =~ s/^(\w\w\w)\w+,\s(\d+)-([^-]+)-(\d+)\s([\d:]+).*/$1 $3 $2 $5 $4/;

:)

i just saw the clip.

it's pretty funny.
how the heck did they film that?

if you carefully look at the reflections of the rear window...
it matches the movement quite well for the most part.

pretty cool

$last <- varaible name
=~ <- regex operator
s <- substitution

/STUFF/NEWSTUFF/ <- replaces STUFF with NEWSTUFF

^ <- beginning of string
() <- character grouping
\w <- word character
+ <- any number (greater than 0) of preceeding character
, <- jsut a plain comma
\s <- whitespace
() <- second character group
\d+ <- any number (greater than 0) of digits
- <- plain dash
() <- another group
[^-]+ <- anything that's not a dash, more than 0 times....
repeat dash
repeat digits
repeat group
\s <- whitespace
[\d:]+ anything that's a digit or a colon, matched more than 0 times
.* <- anything, any number of times.

$1 $3 $2 $5 $4 <-- character groups (from above) #1, 3, 2, 5, and 4.

they probably filmed the car in slow motion as a crane or some sort of machine slowly moved the car into position. They then sped up the film to the right speed and meshed it with the film of the woman pushing the car. I'm sure there were a lot of digital alterations done.
