A humorous look at what they Matrix would look like if it ran on Windows. Very well done.

How the Matrix should have ended

You could probably have a bunch of different ways that the Matrix could have ended, all of them taking much less time than the actual movie. I’m not sure it would have been quite so enjoyable, but here is how the Matrix should have ended.

Neo vs Robocop

Mashing science fiction movie fight scenes together to pit heroic characters against each other seems to be a common hobby for amateur movie makers.

Like Robocop vs the Terminator, Neo vs Robocop is also very well done though maybe not quite so difficult because the number of scenes involving both protagonists is much fewer.

I don’t necessarily understand the cameo by Yoda in a movie named Neo vs Robocop, but I didn’t understand the purpose of the train station in the Matrix movies either, so I guess his cameo fits just fine.

Lego Matrix

A fight scene shot with Legos one frame at a time and inspired by the sparring scenes from the Matrix.

The director did a pretty good job with this one. No voices. Just Legos and music from the Matrix. Do you really need anything else?

Muppet Matrix

The Matrix trailer reshot using Muppets by 3 students for a Final Project in their 3D Modeling Class.

A lot of fun, and I think they made good choices on which Muppets they chose for the parts. And that’s really the most important part after all.

The Star Wars Kid

I would be remiss if I did not include a couple of versions of the most popular Sci Fi Clip of all time on this site.

In case you missed the phenomenon known as “The Star Wars Kid”, I’ll provide a little background for you before providing a couple of my favorite clips.

Quoting from Wikipedia:

“Star Wars kid” is an Internet phenomenon which started when a video clip recorded by a fourteen-year-old French Canadian male high school student was shared online by a number of other students.

On November 4, 2002 the boy made a video of himself swinging a golf ball retriever around as a weapon, presumably imitating the Darth Maul character from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace who wields a double-bladed lightsaber. The video was filmed at the studio of his high school, and the tape was left forgotten in a basement. The original owner of the videotape discovered his recorded acts and immediately shared it with some friends. Thinking that it would be a funny prank, they encoded it to a WMV file and shared it using the Kazaa peer-to-peer file sharing network.

Within two weeks, the file was downloaded several million times. An adapted version of the video was created, adding Star Wars music, texts, and lightsaber lights and sounds to his golf ball retriever.

As of 27 November 2006 it has been estimated by The Viral Factory that the videos had been viewed over 900 million times, making it the most popular “viral video” on the Internet.

There are obviously many “versions” of the Star Wars Kid to choose from. Here are the two that I chose. (I tried to only include ones that put him in a good light rather than a bad one.)

Drunken Jedi Master

The Best MATRIX Version (in my opinion)
