The thing with a giant you've watched countless times meets that thing with giants you probably did not watch in Lance Ford's mash-up of The Princess Bride and Jack the Giant Slayer. Rest in peace, André/$200 million movies about CGI beanstalks.
Because here it is. And, hey, it turns out those Iranian airport guards maybe weren't such bad guys after all.
Would you like The Avengers to play out more like a John Hughes coming-of-age story, only with far less dancing? Hey, you're in luck: thanks to dondrapersayswhat, now the visuals of the Marvel film have been matched up to original trailer for The Breakfast Club, telling a slightly different tale of disperate archetypes bonding over shared problems, and aliens. Here you go:
With just days before the release of Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, someone finally got around to mushing that up with Mel Brooks's Blazing Saddles, which had somehow not yet happened despite now seeming so obvious. So if you'd been begging Santa to see Harvey Korman sort of look like he's speaking in the drawl of Leonardo DiCaprio, Merry Christmas. Here's your Super Nintendo:
Thanks to the Toy Story 3-meets-Inception mash-up from way back, we've long known the Pixar film plays well against those now-ubiquitous dramatic trailer blares. Still, here's a Toy Story-meets-Star Trek Into Darkness mash-up to reaffirm that, as well as answer to whether Benedict Cumberbatch would make for a good ominous teddy bear. Yes:
Disney's many film properties--Muppets, Marvel, Pixar and all--come together to party under the themes of Star Wars and aggressive corporate synergy in this massive new mash-up from Patrick Peris. Top notch, but disappointingly non-erotic.
Noting some similarities between Fight Club and the recent Wreck-It Ralph--a protagonist struggling with his identity, group therapy sessions with giant monsters, a secretly spliced-in shot of a penis--editor Lance Ford has put together a trailer merging those worlds into a single vision sure to incite adolescents to start their own video game clubs. That should be pretty fun for them.
As the year, and probably all of humanity, draws to an end, take a dramatic look back at the year in film with the 2012 Movie Trailer Mashup. It's probably better than looking back at this year in terms of your own life. This has Ving Rhames with gun legs.
It still sounds like The Hobbit trailer, but now it looks like other geek-beloved things! Welcome to the future.
Drive and Mario Kart--the respective film and video game most inevitable to transition from driving to physical violence, because fuck you and your blue shell bullshit--come together for Kart, a mash-up that steers the Ryan Gosling film into the Mushroom Kingdom. Now if only someone would figure out the opposite, because a video game that stuffs Christina Hendricks in a kart and races her against Albert Brooks would basically make every other game stupid.
Sandler fighting Ford! Schwarzenegger versus Blade! Bruce Lee pummeling "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! Brad Pitt beating the shit out of Brad Pitt! All now realized and set to music, thanks to exciting advances in split-screen technology and the remixing of Eclectic Method.
Preparing us for whenever 2001 gets remade with found footage or Sam Worthington, FilmSchoolRejects has given Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi classic a new trailer that makes the film over as a fast-paced modern blockbuster less likely to bore the shit out of anyone who considers Transformers: Dark of the Moon the pinnacle of thoughtful space exploration. If you didn't catch it yet, today's theme is rousing Stanley Kubrick's furious spectre.
We've already seen Dark Knight Rises trailers visually recreated with Batman: The Animated Series clips; now, in promotion of a Batman: TAS marathon this Friday, the Hub network has taken the next logical step and had the cartoon's iconic voice cast re-dub the audio, too, giving Batman's "this isn't a car" the suave, authoritative timbre of Kevin Conroy. Watch it below, and hark back to the simpler days when Bane just sounded like some dude.
Do you guys like movies? Do you like the miniature art traditions of the Ottoman Empire? You're in luck! Turkish artist Murat Palta has put together a series of illustrations that re-imagines modern films as they would have been depicted in Ottoman miniatures. Highbrow! Above is Pulp Fiction, and there are many more below, including Alien, Star Wars, and Terminator 2, which it turns out would've been way cooler with chariots.
Rotoscoping Super Friends Batman, Aquaman, Superman, and Robin into the Golden Girls intro, artist Kevin Bapp has created something crazy and magical that I have to assume will forever be the acme of superhero-meets-'80s/'90s sitcom cross-overs: Super Golden Friends. I know what you're thinking: "What about Dark Knight Court?" Yes, Dark Knight Court would be great, and either Mr. Freeze or Solomon Grundy would make for an amazing "Bull," but this is still probably funnier:
The editor who put together the Confrontation and Love Connection mash-ups has now turned his gaze to the blockbusters of 2012, delivering a montage of the year's big-budget, explosion-heavy spectaculars that all seem to involve Bruce Willis. Have a look below, and let this be the last time man, as a species, indulges in Battleship footage.
I'm not going to pretend I fully understand why this has been done. But if this is the first step toward a Mad Men-meets-In Living Color opening, who am I to stand in the way of progress?
The guy behind the violent, action-packed Confrontation Mash-Up has returned with a new edit with essentially the opposite focus: love! Though, really, the opposite of "confrontation" is more like "cowardly surrender," so hopefully editor Patrick Peris will get around to putting that together, too. Milksops forever!
(Note: things start to get a little not-safe-for-work around 1:30, when your chances of seeing a humping Robert De Niro escalate quickly.)
Parring 48 films down to their most essential punches, kicks, staredowns, gunshots, stabbings, explosions, Tron disc things, and so on, Patrick Peris's Confrontation Mash-Up is a pretty intense two minutes of non-stop action ass-kicking. It's basically a collection of everything 8-year-old me always bitterly assumed he was missing when his parents wouldn't let him watch violent movies. Now that I see it's all true, I am so retroactively pissed.
If there's a major complaint to be had about Christopher Nolan's realistic, armored take on Batman, for me it's that the vision doesn't quite mesh with the ridiculously broad-shouldered, grey spandex-wearing animated character who repeatedly kept me company after school in place of real friends. Thankfully, now the disconnect between Christian Bale and True Batman is a little bit less thanks to these videos that merge the audio from the recent Dark Knight Rises trailers with video from Batman: The Animated Series. If we can just tack on a Prince song and the voice of Adam West, these are what I want playing at my funeral.
