This Hitchcock Star Wars Mashup Is A Must Watch! Darth by Darthwest

Darth by Darthwest Is A Clever Star Wars/Hitchcock Mashup

I am constantly amazed at how talented the Star Wars fan community is. Especially when it comes to fan movies or more specifically in this case, a mashup fan movie. Talented, Fabrice Mathieu sent us his video which consists of a mashup of Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1959 thriller, North by Northwest and of course Star Wars.

It really is a must watch as we see the iconic scene with Cary Grant being chased not by a bi-plane but instead a deadly Tie-Fighter! Look out for C3PO, BB-8, Jabba's palace and the Millennium Falcon in this seamless coming together of two classic movies. Fabrice had this to say about the project:

"The original scene of "North by Northwest" lasts more than ten minutes. I cut half of it for "Darth by Darthwest"!

I used Photoshop, After Effects and Final Cut for the special effects, the editing and the new sound design. For the music, it was very interesting to mix the original score composed by Bernard Herrmann because there is no music during the scene. (The music begins in the original film only with the plane crash.)

For the TIE Fighter, I used different sources: Star Wars and footage found on the Internet (for the sound, too), some of which already utilized a green screen. For the rotoscope process, I used masks, and color keying with the blue sky to erase the plane (for example). I made 70 different shots with SFX."

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut: Well, the ans
