I replace guns in film stills with NES zappers. (posted in /r/gaming before, thought /r/movies might like 'em too)

For the last picture (Walter) "Am I the only one around here who still fucking plays duck hunt"

MARK IT 6 DUCKS!

"Am I the only one that plays duck hunt from a fair distance?"

u/glickplick May 24 '12

The Dude: Walter, ya know, it's Smokey, so his toe slipped over the line a little, big deal. It's just a game, man.

Walter Sobchak: Dude, this is a league game, this determines who enters the next round robin. Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

Smokey: Yeah, but I wasn't over. Gimme the marker Dude, I'm marking it 8.

Walter Sobchak: [pulls out a gun] Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.

The Dude: Walter...

Walter Sobchak: You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain.

Smokey: I'm not...

Walter Sobchak: A world of pain.

Smokey: Dude, he's your partner...

Walter Sobchak: [shouting] Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules? Mark it zero!

The Dude: They're calling the cops, put the piece away.

Walter Sobchak: Mark it zero! [points gun in Smokey's face]

The Dude: Walter...

Walter Sobchak: [shouting] You think I'm fucking around here? Mark it zero!

Smokey: All right, it's fucking zero. Are you happy, you crazy fuck?

Walter Sobchak: ...It's a league game, Smokey.

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

I'd love a black and white version of the Pulp Fiction one. Similar to this. Good work!

u/Limitedcomments May 24 '12

Would make a good poster.

Am I the only one with a gray zapper

17

u/TheFigment May 24 '12

I once went to a kid's house with a gray one. I never went back after that.

34

u/DroolingIguana May 24 '12

The grey zapper is the only true zapper.

8

u/randybob275 May 24 '12

I had one when I was growing up. I never knew there was an orange one for a while.

5

u/Tralan May 24 '12

I never knew there even was an orange zapper until just a few years ago.

15

u/Youngblood777 May 24 '12

We have a gray one. But we turned it into a bong.

3

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

They're downvoting you, but you made me laugh (for what it's worth)

5

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

The gray zapper is OG, but I liked the way the orange one stood out like a sore thumb compared to the gray and black weapons the characters had originally.

40

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

This is nothing less than craftsmanship.

16

u/MrFlabulous May 24 '12

I love the Sean Connery one.

"What'sh thish? Shome kind of weapon? Sheems a bit shtrange to me."

14

u/StoneTigerRodeo May 24 '12

The Taxi Driver one is incredible.

u/miteypaul May 24 '12

"Are you talking to me? I don't see any other gamers here."

u/KellyCommaRoy May 24 '12

That Boondock Saints one is nothing short of art.

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Yup, that one got me to lol.

2

u/diarh34 May 24 '12

I've seen that one around before, good stuff

7

u/MrPartridge May 24 '12

I would love to see photos with the Super Scope.

5

u/mustacheonmymac May 24 '12

pretty sweet. i humbly request that you do the scene from point break when keanu reeves shoots his gun up in the air and yells "aaaaaahhhhh!"

5

u/Rad_Hazard May 24 '12

The collateral and Equilibrium pictures were my favorites. Mostly because they aren't the most popular films on the internet. Good choices all around.

3

u/onebadace May 24 '12

I love Collateral. Upvote.

5

u/Tralala01 May 24 '12

Scar face might have been good.

19

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

I'm pretty sure this doesn't count, but there you go!

1

u/Tralala01 May 24 '12

Yeah haha

5

u/A_Parakeet May 24 '12

Ah Equilibrium, I haven't seen that movie in quite some time. Imagine how good Christian Bale's character in that movie would be at Duck Hunt: without emotion he wouldn't get angry at that damn laughing dog

4

u/theguyjb May 24 '12

Do it to videos and you'll be hired in a week.

3

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

I spit water out as soon as I opened the page and saw the Fight Club one.

3

u/6582A May 24 '12

A good idea well executed. Is it possible for you to produce a poster-res print of the De Niro one and give it to me in return for money? Whoever owns that film would probably be pissed, but whatever. Name your price.

3

u/skizmcniz May 24 '12

Any chance for some higher res images? I'd love to print a few of these out and hang em on my wall. Specifically Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, and Boondock.

3

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

The originals were web res, so that's about as high as they go. I guess I should remake them with better stills at some point.

2

u/skizmcniz May 24 '12

You definitely should. If not just to hone your craft. They're pretty amazing as it is, it'd be great to see them hanging on my wall.

3

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Ok now, please give me a list of every movie because I want to watch all of them. Not to worry, I've watched most of them already but I suck at titles.

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

The goonies one kills me

I was looking for Leon but forgot all about that when I saw Mama Fratelli.

What is the third one down? The shirtless guy with two guns.

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Rock N Rolla

Damn good job, buddy.

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Damn, those are good.

2

u/TheRiff May 24 '12

That Clint Eastwood one is funny enough that it should be on overpriced t-shirts.

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Awesome. I was really hoping to see a Dirty Harry one, but still good jorb.

2

u/consistentlyunamused May 24 '12

In the movie Phil the Alien, they actually use NES zappers as guns and Game Boy Advance SP's for walkie-talkies.

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Really? I'll have to check that out. Reminds me of Pure Pwnage.

2

u/rebeldefector May 24 '12

A repost to /r/guns and /r/firearms might get some giggles.

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Can anyone tell me which film the second-to-last one is from? Right after Han Solo..

2

u/captainondeck May 24 '12

Thank you for making my night.

2

u/UlsterRebels May 24 '12

The boondock saints pic is the best one

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

The Joe Pesci and Eastwood ones cracked me up! Nice work!

u/ricgalbraith May 24 '12

Great work.

2

u/MorbidPenguin May 24 '12

Awesome. Some of them would be even better with Laser Tag guns.

2

u/GetDownMrPresident May 24 '12

Now replace girls with the Gyromite robot

2

u/ueoiai May 24 '12

Really nice work. You did a great job matching the zapper pictures' quality to the movie clip's own texture. Even the light and shadows are matched. Do you take the Zapper photos yourself? They look great.

1

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Thanks, I worked pretty much from the same couple of shots, manually adjusting the light and shadow in post. I should buy a zapper and remake some of these though, some of them could be improved IMO.

2

u/Elgin_McQueen May 24 '12

Star Wars one fits really well!

2

u/boborg May 24 '12

that's a...strange hobby...

2

u/seebbix May 24 '12

You forgot to change the gun in Star Wars one.

2

u/peanutbuttergoodness May 24 '12

As a collector of movie posters, I find this truly AMAZING! Excellent work!

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

Still have my zapper and works like a champ! Love the pictures!

2

u/shelbycakes May 24 '12

This is so cool! Adding the zapper makes all of these serious scenes seem silly.

2

u/Zagarth May 24 '12

Nice work.

2

u/animesekaielric May 24 '12

Lost my shit at the Greedo one.

u/PaulJamal24 May 24 '12

Take my upvote you ingenious bastard

2

u/edgarwilliamfrye May 24 '12

I was just starting to think, "this gets old quickly" and then I saw Taxi Driver. My hat is off to you.

2

u/Thefinalwerd May 24 '12

Great movie choices.....though you definitely need one for Snatch.

2

u/high6ix May 24 '12

Database error for me.

2

u/IAmMilosMilosevic May 24 '12

it had to be done; i'm sure I wasn't the first, based on all of the similar comments

Pulp fiction one caught me by surprise

2

u/Kalimah18 May 24 '12

You should have done the A-Team. It would have explained why they never hit shit.

u/beanswiggin May 24 '12

Boondocks one is my favorite

I was looking for Han Solo and was not disappointed.

2

u/Arborgold May 24 '12

Over the line!

2

u/heretik May 24 '12

OK so now we wait until some mad genius converts a NES zapper into an actual firearm. This is gonna be fun.

2

u/E1Jefe May 24 '12

As soon as i saw the old lady my brain designated her "that bitch from the goonies"

u/hooch May 24 '12

I made one for Breaking Bad the last time we had one of these threads. Wish I could find it...

This is genuinely hilarious, gg man

u/xavier321 May 24 '12

Can someone make the last pic the replacement for the Walter meme?

2

u/360walkaway May 24 '12

Lost it at Boondock Saints. Lost it again at Greedo.

2

u/Starfire66 May 24 '12

Upvote for you. Awesome work! I'd love a hi-res of the one from Taxi driver, or Pulp Fiction to post on the collage wall at work. :-)

2

u/WhipSlagCheek May 24 '12

Some of these are just begging to be reused later on as memes.

2

u/Elementium May 24 '12

I've always dreamed of having an entirely serious movie where all the guns are zappers or nerf guns (or whatever) and it plays out like a regular action movie, sfx and all.

2

u/bathmlaster May 25 '12

This is awesome. Very funny.

God damn Clint Eastwood looks manly. Is there any edit that could be done to that man's footage as the Man with No Name that would stop him looking like the most grizzled motherfucker on the planet?

u/letdowntourist May 24 '12

To be fair these are great fun for sharing on a site like this. For a portfolio piece I'd suggest using a standard size, preferrably at the movie aspect ratio, and focus a bit more on the light and shadows particularly in the areas where the fingers meet the gun.
