Poor Johnny!!! He's really excited about eating supper! Love the shot of him screaming. The sound effects while falling down the stairs are hilarious too.

1:15 - Oh my gosh those are a lot of knives! Be careful while you're filming, hah! I don't want to end up in jail!!!

Poor Johnny. Emmerek is such a jerk! At least he's sort of trying to help out.

Liked this (as I like all your films). Was on the fence about HW'ing it though. Would love to hear what the forums think!

Overall I give this film a C+

My favorite part of this are the knives. Great idea! I love the low angle shot with the head masking the entry point of the fork. Good stuff! Other great cartoonish bits- the stair falling sequence! You overcame the real danger of a stair fall and the bouncing chin was really funny.

Oh man, you guys are like my favourite filmfighters! Your shorts are funny and silly and well-acted and most of all they always look like they were fun to make, which is great.

I love how you made this so over-the-top and ridiculous with the sound effects and the screaming and the fork in the eye, brilliant! The only thing is that some of the sound effects get chopped off early before they've finished, you got to be careful with your cuts there.

By the way, your shots look better than in your other films, are you using better lighting? Looks good anyway! :D

It does go on for quite a long time, the recovery montage could have been cut down a bit... but the random Pavarotti is great. Awesome final shot, perfect timing!

Personally I think this could have been HW, especially if you cut down the middle section a bit. I'm a huge fan of your films and I can't wait to see you in HW some more in the future!

This was great! I loved the cardboard box wall crash, it reminds me of something we did a whie ago, we took ages to get all the boxes lol. Loved the knives on the table, that was genius! Also the last shot was a great way to end the film, well done!

ouch! That was opened with a great trip! Fricken rad work there! I like the "healing montage". My suggestion for the future (since I can't argue with your shot composition, they are great) would be to look into lighting. Some of this is WAY dark. I get the same issue myself. Keep it up, guys!

The fall at the start when he went down the second flight of stairs made me chuckle a nice bit. Great submission. :)
