Why does it look to me like the nose of the plane points down but the plane flys level, it yaws wildly at low speed but doesn't stall or drop altitude rapidly, no matter what the plane does the airspeed and altitude looks relatively constant.
It looks absolutely fake to me, like 60's Hollywood special effects in a B rated movie.

The way the plane is behaving looks like dutch roll. I've practiced dutch roll recovery in simulators on numerous occasions, and airspeed remains in a fairly constant range. It may vary by plus or minus (X) amount on KIAS, but you couldn't stand on the ground and be able to tell, one way or the other.
