Looks very good - Looks like it was shot on film. What camera did you use? (16mm?? or digital....)

[RichardCano]

@mikeWilliamsburg This was shot using Super 16mm not sure what the camera was called.

This is great! How'd you get the scenery to be so perfect a match to the film? Did you film at the actual location?

[RichardCano]

@greggersh The Production design class had to create a set for us that mimicked the original scene. There are some mess ups, like he color of the bathroom wallpaper, some set pieces. The lamps. etc.

Nice.

But where'd he get that sunglasses from? :o

[RichardCano]

@lordician They're on the top of his head when he walks in and before he's tossed in the toilet.

Okay...I'm no troll but usually I comment the everloving shit out of remade scenes. But this...this is cinema GOLD right here. GODLY....in the immortal words of Alec Hardison, "I salute you sir..." Fucking epic

@RichardCano

LOL!! Dude you guys are awesome! It's just as entertaining as the original.

Normally people upload junk in place of real content, but you guys have got some real talent.

that chinaman is so small !

[ironhandSoverign]

This was actually pretty awesome.

Woo peed on the Dude's rug! Good job guys. In the actual final cut the Dude's hair is already wet before he is dunked. (Obviously it wasn't the first take.)

The Dude abides..

[majestic93]

This was actually pretty good.

[Ninety9Soulz]

This was really good, guy playing the dude needs work, everything else is great though.

@RichardCano That  you made this on film and not digital (for story telling digital looks very often amateurish) again a proof, that it is always better to shoot on film. I made a movie in Super16, too. P.S. Good editing, too. 2nd P.S. The Dude is not the best choice... I would have done a better Dude job...:-))
