When the British Heart Foundation decided to educate the public about new (hard, fast compressions / no mouth to mouth) CPR guidelines for the untrained ‘rescuer on the street,’ they turned to an unlikely, but definitely compelling spokesperson to provide some impromptu training.

In the Foundation’s Hard & Fast video, Vinnie Jones, retired footballer and first-string movie … undesirable … in such films as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Swordfish, and Gone in 60 Seconds, shows viewers how to resuscitate a cardiac arrest victim, while a pair of henchmen groove to the rhythm of Stayin’ Alive.

It might not be a reassuring tableau to wake up to for the person being revived, but it can’t be argued that it makes for an effective and memorable lesson.

Check it out for yourself.
