By the way, Rob (who appears as the helicopter pilot and as Carlos the bartender - "pick a number for the breechers buoy") has just been appearing on this week's Come Dine With Me. Worth checking out on 4OD (episodes 126 to 130 in series 22 - the Croydon episodes). Very well worth a watch!
For those that are into their UK indie music, that is Matt Morgan, who did the signing in the video for Ed Sheeran's "You Need Me, I Don't Need You", at 0:14 in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it role as OJ Simpson.
Thank heavens I managed to save him from the flames - I think YNMIDNY is a terrific song, and a really good video.
Can't believe this didn't win man. Not having a go at anyones entry but there is so so much more imagination, invention and humour in this entry then the top 5 combined. Especially after seeing what video has won. I really hope it doesn't put you's off entering next year. It clear to anyone to see you guys love film and I think that deserves some recognition.
@Schnorbs True, that was a good scene... I still think you could've added some much needed humor to the scene. I say you add the scene and re-release your film as a 62 second Director's Extended Cut Edition.
PS: Love the Airplane homage, and vote to nominate "and don't let it happen again" as best quote of the century.
@joshklar Thank you. Yes, the saving the deaf woman scene was one cut at the planning stage. Jennifer Jones to Paul Newman: "You've got to save the deaf woman!" Paul Newman to deaf woman "Are you the deaf woman?" Deaf woman in sign language: "I can't hear you, I'm deaf."
What we did film were two Fred Astaire/Jennifer Jones moments, a bit more anticlimax with OJ Simpson and Fred Astaire, and two bits with Faye Dunaway and Paul Newman. They didn't add anything to the main thrust of the
@Schnorbs plot, so I'm afraid I had to cut them to get the film down to 60 seconds; they will be in the special edition version in production. Along with a shot of Steve McQueen rescuing the scenic elevator, where the model didn't look so good.
Would you believe that I didn't realise I'd put in an Airplane reference until after I'd written it? I went back to rewatch Airplane just before filming this to see how best to spoof a disaster movie, and the fist in mouth/cringe was already there and
There's also a reference to a Tim Burton movie, but no one has mentioned it yet. Also a reference to one of my favourite spoofs of all, French and Saunders' version of The House of Eliott.

OMG I can't stop laughing!!!! I love the bit where OJ's character is removing the bloody gloves ROFL. Why didn't this win?

Dammit! I could've just saved myself 2, 3/4 hours, minus 1 minute, if I'd only watched this first. Funnier than the original too.

@joshklar Ah, but you would have missed out on the "shinning down the stairwell with the children" scene.
