Just throwin’
I’m pretty sure Logan and I have mentioned the movie Hard Ticket to Hawaii on the podcast at some point. Suffice it to say that it’s one of the best, awful, borderline pornographic, low budget spy/action drama/comedies of its day. Oh, and it’s got a scene where a dude is killed by a Frisbee with razor blades taped to it.
Well, a group of brave YouTubers have recreated this classic scene on digital video and fed it to the internet. Now, normally I’d encourage you to watch the original before the remake, but I’m going to make an exception. First, take a look at the fan version:
Pretty great, right? But surely, they cheesed up the acting for comedic effect. And obviously the real movie’s special effects were more convincing, right? Let’s see for ourselves…
Yes, it turns out that the fans got it pitch perfect. If anything, their version is somehow less absurd than the one that hit theaters. Well done. For added fun, try starting both clips at the same time.
