Awesome Edits

The Unusual Suspect diced and sliced tidbits from nearly 200 movies to perform Feel Good Inc. As with his other edits, each word or phrase was spoken by a different character, breathing new life into the 2005 Gorillaz hit. Bonus points for all the evil laughs and Beaker’s meeps.

What happens when you put the music of Stryper, AC/DC, Kiss, Mötley Crüe, Pantera, Dokken, Def Leppard, Vixen, Blue Öyster Cult, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, and Van Halen into a blender and press the “Shred” button? Master music mashup maker Bill McClintock has the answer with this epic metal remix that demands you crank your volume up to 11.

If any movie was going to bring on a case of ornithophobia, it was Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Now, Big Bird has joined the cast of this classic film, courtesy of Bell Brothers, who edited the 8-foot-tall yellow bird into scenes from the 1963 horror-thriller, and synced it up to Outkast’s 2000 track B.O.B.

Robin Williams brought us such joy over the years, especially as the mischievous but well-intentioned Mrs. Doubtfire. Bell Brothers took this classic character and stitched her dance moves into scenes from other movies and TV shows, including The Three Amigos, Ghostbusters, Joker, Back to the Future., and Seinfeld. The editing and compositing is top-notch.

Editor and filmmaker Fabrice Mathieu created this intense music video using footage from dozens of sci-fi and disaster movies.

Movie buffs, see how many films you can identify, then check out the list in the YouTube description.

Imagine for a moment that Lumon acquired Dunder Mifflin. Luís Azevedo of Little White Lies put together this brilliantly edited parody that envisions the Scranton paper company’s employees as innies struggling to understand their place in the world and the meaning of the mysterious work they do with numbers. Now enjoy some Merriment and Choreography.

(PG-13: Language) Many of us gave candy and flowers for Valentine’s Day. DJ Cummerbund showed up with a different sort of gift. His mashup of Mötley Crüe’s Kickstart My Heart and The Pointer Sisters’ I’m So Excited is the perfect combo for anyone craving a sweet ’80s treat instead of chocolates and roses. That DMX cameo really spiced things up.

(PG-13) Each December, editor Sleepy Skunk creates an epic compilation of trailers to celebrate the year’s films. The 2024 edition includes moments from blockbusters like Deadpool vs. Wolverine, offbeat indie flicks like Hundreds of Beavers, creepy horrors like Late Night with the Devil. It also includes its share of big-budget flops like Argylle.

As you wander the streets of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V, you’ll run into all kinds of quirky characters. But in all of our hours of gameplay, we have never come across Ace Ventura. eli_handle_b․wav edited Jim Carrey’s pet detective into the game, weaving his obnoxious antics into the storyline, presumably to rescue the LS Pounders’ team mascot.

Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett are two of the most badass women of music. They’re even touring together. Now, DJ Cummerbund brought the collab to a new level. Crank the volume up to 11 and get ready to rock out to this perfectly angry mashup of I Hate Myself for Loving You and You Oughta Know.

DJ Cummerbund’s latest musical mashup pays tribute to three musical greats and a wrestling legend. The tune is a delicious bouillabaisse of sounds from Wham!, Amy Winehouse, ZZ Top, and Blink-182, resulting in the most upbeat song ever about a heavy subject. Bonus points to TonyZed68, the YouTube commenter who called her Amy Whamhouse.

So you don’t forget his name, Snoop Dogg likes to mention it in some of his songs. Helping to drive that point home even harder, There I Ruined It edited together clips of The Artist Formerly Known as Snoop Lion rapping his name over and over again for a solid minute.

(PG-13: Language) In Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, his red bicycle gets stolen, setting in motion an epic journey to recover his prized possession. eli_handle_b.wav imagines how things might have gone down if Pee-Wee rode a futuristic motorcycle instead, and the story took place in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

To create this pleasantly hypnotic sequence of sounds, musician Jeremie Carter played 15 different notes on a marimba. He performed each note repeatedly at a rate of 0.2 bpm faster or slower than its neighbor, then edited them side-by-side. He says every time you hear a bell ring, a subdivision has been reached, progressing from quarter notes to various tuplets.

For his latest 3D challenge, Clinton Jones, aka Pwnisher, asked CG artists to create scenes based on a template of a character climbing a curved staircase. After receiving 2800 entries from around the world, here are the top 100 renders edited together to create a seemingly endless climb, set to music by Feverkin. It’s hard to choose a favorite interpretation.

In 2004, editor Matt Bucy chopped up The Wizard of Oz and rearranged every sound and word into alphabetical order. The result is the nonsensical but oddly compelling Of Oz the Wizard, or as commenter Jenny Reiswig put it even better, The Wizard of A to Z. Despite the task’s apparent complexity, he says most of the work only took about 20 hours.
