Guys,
I probably should've given a bit more info about this video.
This video was shot in 5 hours flat. Almost no choreography was planned, barely any lines, and there was no story. No story="mindless-action-movie". For those who don't know what that is...well, this video is basically that. Guys running around, looking cool, trying to kill each other for little or no reason, with lots of special effects, and overly cool one liners.
Now rockerrockstar mentioned that the actor looked like a young Rambo or something. Well, we basically looked at our friends and saw that only one had tattoos, thus decided that he would be the best looking "action hero" without a shirt (because obviously you can only be a badass if you run around with tattoos on your back and no shirt on - this is a joke). He isn't supposed to be believable, in fact he's supposed to be unbelievable.
Have you guys ever seen any of FreddieW's videos on youtube? He does almost nothing but mindless action with some cool effects, yet he is one of the most watched and subscribed channels on youtube. This video wasn't intended to be some revolutionary action movie spoof, but just to entertain (even if you didn't find it too entertaining). Honestly, we were bored one Saturday and decided to film this because we really didn't have anything else better to do. Sorry if it seems I was venting on these comments but, to me, they seemed more like a review on a big budget movie than a few opinions on a video a couple of freshmen in college decided to make.
Oh and about the "hilarious" part. I didn't realize it was too big a deal. To me, funny and hilarious can be used in the same sentence and mean the same thing.
If you ever want to see something that we actually spent a lot of time putting together a story, choreography, shots, and putting actors in their place, then watch "The Rebellion" series we're making. The latest 4th episode is by far the best -
