Awesome Mashups

Season 2 of The Walking Dead is clearly more about the characters than the zombies, so it’s only appropriate that they have an opening credit sequence that goes with. Nice wink there, Dale.

(NSFW: Language) YouTuber crawlbeforeuball mashed up Kanye West and Jay-Z’s single Ni**as in Paris with scenes from Midnight in Paris. At the very least, it’s better than the actual music video.

YouTuber heresjohnny1991 re-cut footage from Alien and mashed it up with style the teaser for Prometheus. Prometheus seems more epic, but the Alien tagline is way better.

DJ Earworm mashes up 25 of the biggest hits of 2011 and manages to turn them into a pretty solid dance track that in some ways supersedes the original pop tunes. Grab the MP3 here.

Here’s another cinematic retrospective for 2011 by YouTuber genrocks, whose trademark unified approach made 230 of the year’s films blend into one glorious, fantasy-sci-fi-dance epic.

The Dude abides… and solves crimes, in this mashup of Lebowski and 1980s cop drama by Connor Kalista. If only The Dude had been wearing a Lei around his neck, it would have been perfect.

YouTuber suspectx masterfully mashes-up the dramatic trailer for David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with the slightly less dramatic Jim Carrey “classic” The Cable Guy.
