Wheels On Wheels (1993)

So as promised, here's my 2nd mash up that I edited on VHS at the tender age of 19.

As with 'Gun Fetish' it's a movie montage set to The Beatles, but this time detailing vehicular mayhem.

But it was edited the same way, locked in the tiny VHS suite at Bournemouth & Poole College Of Art & Design over a long weekend.

The VHS tapes were mostly ones I have recorded off the TV, ones I had borrowed from the college library and what few retail titles I had.

Now, you'll see a fair amount of overlap from the last montage, obviously, but also quite a few new and some fairly obscure clips.

I'd also say I didn't have access to some of the key pre 1993 car films at the time, indeed some of the best car chases in cinema I'd yet to see. One I had seen, but could not source the tape at the time (with my limited supply of material and a student bank account deeply in the red) was 1968′s 'Bullitt'.

Yes, that's right 'Bullitt' is not present. Any commenting 'No Bullitt? FAIL' or complaining that the split track audio or video are not perfect, can go fuck themselves. Or send a handwritten note back to the 19 year old me in Bournemouth, Doc Brown style.

Think of this as an exercise in the early 90′s in cutting together car chases without "Bullitt". I basically made these for myself and to figure out how to edit.

This one is also not completely safe for work and has some spoilers again.

Apologies to any rights holders, I was young and foolish, I didn't know what I was doing. Please don't arrest me, I will take it down and step away from the keyboard if necessary.
And that's it. There is no more.

P.S. To restate, I'm going to enable embedding of the video -- but if you do re-blog it, would you mind quoting my blog text too, context is very much king! -- Thanks Edgar

Some of the scenes from the Cars that Ate Paris would have been perfect for this

Helter Skelter!! <3

I hope all you people who came here because of Cole Sprouse actually appreciate the Blues Brothers and the Beatles. I hope you guys aren't just watching it because he did. This is real music.
