Huh real ?

Obviously not real.

Such a plane couldn't bank and roll like that without simply falling out of the sky. Somewhat impressive effects nonetheless.

I've never understood those fake clips where the camera shakes unbelievably much, and always has to have at least one zooming/zooming back out thing in it.. Kinda gives it away for me, no one does that, lol.

This vid is clearly a fake imho, BUT:

Well, in theory a 747 can do a barrel roll. Give it enough space and altitude.
Tex Johnston did a barrel roll in a Boeing 367-80 (Boeing 707).

Certainly no problem aerodynamic-wise. I'm not so sure about the engines would starve due to problems with fuel flow under negative G.

Well, the barrel roll certainly wouldn't be as quick and seemingly easy as it was in the OP but I guess we've already established that.

I think it is a valid technique that commercial pilots would fly upside down in some event (emergency procedure) but can't remember the reason for it.

Go in FSX with the hardest setting and try do the same You drop at least 2000-5000 ft trying to pull one off.
