After nearly four years of YouTube, I’ve had enough of abridged movies. You know, where a user edits together only the necessary plot points of a film for a video called “(movie title) in 60 seconds.” But I must make an exception for the British rap duo The Anomalies. Those guys (DJ Mayhem and MC Mouthmaster Murff, specifically) know how to do condensed classics right. By rapping the plot synopsis.
Earlier this year, they released an abridged version of Predator with rhymed narration. It was pretty funny. Now, they’ve come out an even better rap for RoboCop. It’s longer, it has a steadier rhythm and it utilizes the film’s dialogue far better than the Predator rap did. Plus, it’s so comprehensive at 10 minutes that I wonder why the film ever needed to be 102 minutes. Seriously, are there any necessary scenes excluded?
Too bad it takes 9 months for the guys to make something so brilliant. I’m anxious to see what movie they tackle next. Fortunately, I could watch this video over and over and over to tide me over. Check it out for yourself after the jump, and be warned that it features the film’s very NSFW language.
