The Legend of Zelda (1987) Trailer Comparison

[shadyltd080]

Wow thats exactly what I thought you did. I used to edit Analog Videos and I was like the only way they could have got those red lines is from a VCR. thats cool. makes me wanna make a 80's movie too. LOL

[shadyltd080]

Very clever, I thought your measurments of camera distances were almost uncanny with the films you were basing the parody, The only I think could have been done better was some scenes lacked good backgrounds, like principal rooneys office. other than that it was good acting, what did you guys use to shoot this? or is all just filtering and color grading tricks? Nice work. even the ending Title looks authentic, like you guys used a computer program from that era. LOL

[HeyNickMurphy]

@shadyltd080 Thanks man. Yeah we did what we could with what we had. I shot it with a Canon 60D and then ran it through a VCR over and over again. Thanks for watching.

[bio2020]

Zane Bauer is so freaking beautifuL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like her dancing scenes as Zelda at the prom.....heart beats faster just watchin her :)

[LolaJonas0095]

What movies are these clips based off of? Great job btw. Loveeee ittt!

[luc13tardin]

wow. just wow.

[TheJon9910]

[Arjahn767]

Beast Ganon = Bull, I get it.

[scrulesman1234]

TINGLE? MIDNA?

[Underthegun897]

2:44 RON WEASLEY?

[darK3horizoNRising]

Link is WINNING!

[nmcvicker03]

I would totally pay to watch this movie if it was real. Great job guys.

[LolaJonas0095]

@nmcvicker03 LOL! Same here! 

[Whiscash97]

GOD DAMMIT! I can't find the original trailer that you based yours off of :(

Can someone send me a link?

[nickfromflc]

@Whiscash97 We didn't base it off of just one trailer. It's a bunch of scenes from a bunch of different movies. We made up the flow of the trailer.

[Whiscash97]

@nickfromflc Really? Hm...

Thanks.

[206Link]

What are all the movies that this parodies? I know I saw breakfast club, Ferris Bueller's day off, and Karate kid

[originalodamn]

@206Link Was Karate Kid with the "skull kids" punching him? I didn't get that. Most of it is from Say Anything, then there's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Breakfast Club, and Sixteen Candles. I think that's all.

[jsiwek330]

what is the name of the movie at the very start

[nickfromflc]

@jsiwek330 Say Anything.  Thanks for watching.

[pntk17]

This trailer is 90 levels of awesome.

[ThePoopcornMachine]

I like the trailer a lot, but it's less believable now that I've seen this. Why? Hairstyles are a give away. No one in the Zelda trailer has that "big and curly 80's hair" look seen in movies like Breakfast Club.

[MegaDankle]

hahaha all the best 80s films were orion. princess zelda is a babe

[lyla951217]

John Bender makes me giggle!! I LOOOOOVE the breakfast club.

[Ghorse23]

yay now others will get the references!

[ibm777p2]

This fake trailer captures the feeling of the 80's, I hope can see a move like this later.

Thanks for making it

[timidemerald]

I would TOTALLY watch this movie if it was real. OMFG.

[PsycoDirector]

What was the song during the costume ball

[medamorth]

@PsycoDirector Bizarre Love Trianlge by New Order! A very good song.

[TheMonkeypicked]

gah! why isn't this real?!?!

So very cool. thanks for making the Trailer :)

[bec1989]

Wow you guys are a bit awesome teehee!

For some reason I keep getting goosebumps at the sixteen candles kiss bit, did in the trailer and now in this comparison vid, how random! Love to the 80s films :) Tho I actually need to see Say Anything

[hobbes3k]

Does anyone have a link to the original trailer used in this video? I searched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off Trailer", but I either got different official trailers or fan-made trailers, not the one that is compared in this video.

[cymonsgames]

@hobbes3k The very ending was Ferris Bueller. The rest of it was a spoof of "Say Anything".

[cymonsgames]

@hobbes3k And a little bit of the breakfast club.

[bateriaAA]

It doesn't get much cooler than the 80's!

[SatansMullet]

Wow.. that zelda movie looks fucking retawful (Retard-Awful)

[kyleangus]

@SatansMullet

Retard isn't an adjective, dumb-ass.

[PPandJF]

no wonder I loved it, I love those movies :'3

[Xmjthrillme2020X]

What's the 1st song @ 0:10?

[ptah956]

@Xmjthrillme2020X everybody wants to rule the world by tears for fears

[CaptainKremmen]

If only the terrible, wooden Molly Ringwald could really have been replaced in all her movies by the deliciously sexy Zane Bauer!

[closej]

unreal! does anyone know what song is on in the background at the disco?! id love to get it!

[TentacleChow]

@closej "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order

[Mappyman]

Ya know what i compared so many 80s favorites in my mind but to have someone scene by scene compare takes a lot of work, almost behind the scenes. love it and hope for me!!

[hpswpotclotr]

i loved all those movies as I'm sure I'd love this if it were a real movie

[shadowoftime01]

Only negative thing I have to say is that I think Charlie Sheen called Jeanie by her real name when everyone else called her Shawna. But Link calls her Princess when everyone else calls her princess (which might be an allusions to Star Wars?). That's the one error that's been bugging me the bajillion times I've watched it so far, LOVE IT!!!

[sakura1701]

@shadowoftime01 Actually it's a reference to the old Zelda cartoon, Excuse me princess is pretty much what it's known for.

[Peanutbutterhero]

Sweet.

[kubevubin]

Wow, I wouldn't have associated some of those scenes with the ones that they're actually intended to match up with. The only movie of the ones referenced that I haven't seen is Say Anything. I'll hafta check that one out. The Breakfast Club is my favorite 80's movie, though. The scenes with Bender and the principal fighting always crack me up., and seeing these re-enactments was every bit as enjoyable.

[MrGss000]

I am absolutely blown away. Fantastic job

[fembryo]

Love it, great work.

[drewdvorak]

I knew what movie every line was from... but this is still totally awesome, great job.
