Forcery

This just in… Weird Al watches Star Wars parody movie… and he likes it! In fact, he even writes back to creator and long-time Al fan, Christopher Knight, to give praise:

“…Nice job! Wow, how’d you ever get Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg to be in it? What a coup!”

The movie in question is called Forcery and if want to check out this 54 minute cinematic comedy, you can find it at The Knight Shift available in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and My Goodness!

    Oh my goodness, we made Yankovic! Ed Woody (my co-director) and I were both fans of Al for years before we met in college. We spent almost every Saturday afternoon drinking root beer and watching a VHS copy of “UHF” ’til the tape practically wore out. Anyway, Al was one of our influences so far as the humor went and we had a lot of fun making “Forcery”. Hope you’ll enjoy it and thanks for the mention. We’ve watched this site for years and are thrilled to have made it :-)

    So what proof does Knight offer that Al really watched his movie? I’ve watched as much of it as I can stomach, and based on how amateurish and just plain *bad* I found it, I have to wonder what Al was smoking if he really wrote what Knight claims!
    Something doesn’t make sense here… if he actually watched the movie, then that “reply” doesn’t work either, as anyone who’s seen the thing KNOWS you didn’t really have Spielberg or Ron Howard in it…
