TIL all the movement in Prince of Persia was rotoscoped over an actual person's movements.

Not all that impressive for a game today, but this was basically unheard of in the 1980s and it explains how the movements were so smooth.

If you've played it a decent amount of times, you will recognize every movement in the live action video as it looks in the game.

Also, for those who don't know what rotoscoping is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping
