The prerequisites for an effective movie mash-up truly rely upon the goal of the one doing the mashing.
As it is, perhaps you’re hoping to demonstrate two different films are really a similar film, so you coordinate them beat-for-beat like the Avatar/Pocahontas mash-up. Or perhaps you’re going for the most extreme comedic impact, so you pick motion pictures from contradicting sides of the quality and genre, similar to The Wizard Of Oz and You Got Served.
Or, on the other hand, perhaps you simply acknowledged Harrison Ford was in two motion picture franchises and assumed that is an adequate reason to edit them together.
That appeared to be sufficient for French movie producer Fabrice Mathieu, the maker of “Raiders Of The Lost Darth,” a mash-up of the opening scene from Raiders Of The Lost Ark and different parts of the Star Wars franchise.
The subsequent six-minute short wavers between convincingly cool and incredibly silly minutes. The broken droids and Ewoks in the wilderness don’t appear to be too strange. Nevertheless, watching Jar Binks get cut through the head with a spike is less fulfilling than it sounds.
This is really a somewhat enhanced update to a video Mathieu released an year ago called “Raiders Of The Lost Dark” and incorporates a couple of more special moments. Now that he’s put the finishing touches to this venture, he’ll most likely proceed onward to a definitive mash-up of Regarding Henry and Blade Runner.
