During the early years of high school a couple of classmates and I were assigned a project that involved filming, acting and video editing. Please note none of these went very well. The result is a bit of a mess, but for those of us involved it will be a big laugh seeing this again after all these years.

The gist of the video

It's supposed to be a game show with one simple rule. The survivor goes home with the money. There are 4 contestants with different backgrounds and they kill each other off with guns and other miscellaneous violence similar to what you'll find in today's action movies. I think they've taken our idea and made a Hollywood movie out of it; The Tournament. Don't bother- if you've seen Men or Mice then The Tournament is no good.

What went wrong

The biggest shortcoming is the fact that we lost all the original sound during transfer of the video so we had to dub in what we could at the last minute. Also, our acting, scripting, and camera work is not something to boast about. Only the bloody bathroom scene is pretty cool in my opinion.

Anyway, I just found this video and decided to share it for laughs only. Enjoy!
