The clip is from a commercial for the Toyota Tacoma. The whole thing is at http://www.methodstudios.com/mot690 , complete with the legalese caption identifying the event as a dramatization, and the catch-phrase "Tacoma - meteor-proof" (before this actually gets aired the lawyers will probably make them add some small print that says "not really".

Okay, now I know that the video clip IS from (or at least related to) that movie. Both the video clip and one of the trailers show the same beer-holding redneck in a plaid flannel shirt and a baseball cap. Looks like it isn't actual footage from the film, though, but instead an instance of viral marketing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_marketing sort of like the viral marketing clips
set free onto the net for the movie Serenity (from the late, great Firefly)
