Very unlikely to be 'fake'.
The equipment required to do that costs a fortune, not to mention the time involved.
One of the comments claims that the pilot had his licence pulled. Is that true ?

But a good party trick ( if you dont mess it up !) . He slightly loses it on the second rev but gets it together for a perfect touch down . Without a passenger and at an air show I would have said that was quite impressive skills . Maybe he learned from Dennis !!

This video has been around a while, and those of us who monitor helicopter online sites have already seen and commented on it. With that in mind, we can joke that this seems to be the "standard" Brazilian approach profile. Climbing decel to a hover over a specific spot with a 720 finish? Pretty good execution of a tricky maneuver! As Nigelh notes above, he did kind of goof it up on the second rotation at the end, but he did recover nicely for a good set-down. Incautious? Yep. Risky? Heck yeah! Would you do it? Oh, you'd probably say, "No way in hell!" And maybe you mean it. But helicopters are capable of some seriously funky, cold maneuvers, and some young, brazen, bold pilots will try them.

He certainly didn't leave himself very much margin for error - not a difficult manoeuvre to fly over open ground, but between obstacles when you can't be sure of the tail clearance is taking a lot of risks.
That video could so easily have been another crash video - he was just very lucky as well as stupid.
