Have you ever encountered a joke edit of a movie while sailing the high seas?
Have you ever encountered a joke edit of a movie while sailing the high seas?
I have been thinking about the Cerveza Crista edit of Star Wars: A New Hope that sporadically splices in beer ads and the Toy Story 3 edit alternate ending where they fall into the incinerator and it made me wonder if people have come across these kind of joke versions, in full, in the wild.
It seems like a majority of the time it's just short clips being made and reposted.
I'm not talking about the edits of movies where they do things like decrease the speed of the audio so it gradually desyncs from the rest of the movie or when they replace the entire movie with the Limewire Bill Clinton ad.

Oh man... Have you ever heard of Wizard People, Dear Reader?
I found this genius interpretation of the first Harry Potter film by Brad Neely probably about 15 years ago via some random torrents. It has lived rent-free in my mind ever since.
I was always disappointed Neely never did a follow-up, he had claimed to be working on a follow-up in the same style but doing Jurassic Park instead.
In Wizard People, Dear Reader, Neely's writing ranges from simple childish mockery, to criticism of the acting and set design, to awkward metaphors, to over-dramatic philosophical speeches. Harry himself is repeatedly referred to as a god, references are made to the "stockpiles of nuclear-level energy" that are his powers, and so on. At one point, Harry calls himself a "beautiful animal" and a "destroyer of worlds". He also repeatedly affirms that he is "Harry fucking Potter". Numerous references are made to characters taking out unseen flasks or drinking alcohol, and Harry is mentioned as being "drunk every day before noon."
That is definitely an interesting one.
The CDs must be played simultaneously with a DVD of the first Harry Potter film, preferably the North American DVD, muted or at low volume.
I thought it was just going to be a mash up of clips. Can you really just replace the audio track with it?
This also reminded me. I think I have a copy of the Harry Potter with guns edit Harry Potter and the Deadly Weapons around somewhere.
Back when it was released, you had to match up the audio to an official DVD so Neely could avoid being sued.
Multiple fan edits that overlay the new audio on the DVD rip exist at this point. No more needing to match them up.
But yeah, it's essentially the full movie dubbed over with someone reading aloud as though it was a audiobook.
That's a neat approach. I suppose I have seen it done to a lesser extent with YouTubers doing Mystery Science Theater style commentary now that I think about it.
In Italy there was an entire genre of redubbed movies with funny voiceovers.
There are extremely funny edits of Harry Potter by a german Youtuber (Coldmirror) from many years ago.

Love everything from Brad Neely but haven't been able to find this since reading about it several months ago. Thanks for reminding me I'll have another look.
I'm gonna have to find this and watch the movie with it now.
There's torrents out there of the audio already mixed with the DVD so you don't have to play both and try to match them. Plus I think the whole thing might still be on Youtube, it was a few years ago.
