Hahaha, wow. I had no idea Napoleon Dynamite was an adaptation of another short film with the same actors (Though Pedro was played by the guy who did Gale in this one.) I think I prefer the newer one because it had all the polish of a budget with the authenticity of the original, but this was fantastic and it gave me one last, new laugh at Napoleon Dynamite.
re-watching this, it is even more obvious that "Peluca" is better than "Napolean Dynamite". Both are great, but this one is more subtle and to the style.
here's a basic example of what i mean by this: 'Napolean Dynamite' is a pretty funny name but it's a bit over-the-top. 'Seth' is more suiting for him and has a nice subtle humorous ring to it.

wow, the sh!tty short film that set the stage for the sh!tty full feature! i read that they only spent like $500 bucks making this, which goes to show that you can't buy taste and that they didn't even try
What I like about Napoleon Dynamite is that it is intentionally different from other comedy movies, in which they throw everything at you to make you laugh (explicit humor). Napoleon Dynamite does the complete opposite: they put nihilistic main characters in "real life" situations and an almost plotless movie with little dialogue so that you find the implicit comedy.
I can hardly wait for Jared Hess' new film Gentlemen Broncos. I read the plot and it sounds funny and made me think of ComiCon in San Diego and some of the characters that were there this year. =}
wtf, im saying the real pedro as in the pedro on the proper full length film, i never said the 'original' pedro, so get your fuckin facts right before you try n be smart ass
by the way the full length film is way better (my opinion)
maybe not. the thing is, where would they take the plot? kip's married, rico found a chick, grandma came back. maybe is deb & 'poleon start screwing..."man that's a flippin' tight fit!" "c'mon baby hurry up & shoot so i can show you the latest fashions" "i'll blow a load whenever i feel like. GOSH!" (yes i AM sick & DO need help_
I'm thinking that it wouldn't be easy to make a good ND sequel, but they could do it. The main thing they need to focus on is that basically it's about a guy who lives in the middle of nowhere and does weird things. Keep the genuinity that made the first one so popular and they're set!

"napoleon dynamite only sucks when you pay money to watch it in a cinema, cause to be frank thats a waste of money, but you can enjoy if you watch it on tv for free"
napoleon dynamite only sucks when you pay money to watch it in a cinema, cause to be frank thats a waste of money, but you can enjoy if you watch it on tv for free
You gotta be kidding. This was its predecessor & was deemed good enough to be made into Napoleon Dynamite. The movie was like a longer, more improved version of this.
But, the U.S. constitution sets forth a system in which everyone can express themselves as much as they want, as long as it doesn't hinder anyone else's rights.
But you also have the right to delete their comments so...
I love the difference in personality between napoleon and Seth, Seth is a lot nicer than napoleon, Seth puts his friend's friend first but napoleon is more selfish, I like Seth a bit better... and find it funny when he is portrayed as a sort of hero at the end lol
I wouldn't call him selfish. Everyone has they're moments. Napoleon danced in front of the whole school for Pedro and also got him a wig. Seth only really sacrificed getting a fanny pack. This is stupid, why am i doing this?
