Apoligies for the muzzles flashes, they were all in the right place in the editing program so something must have happened as it was rendering... Also a (nonexistent) prize to any one who can spot all the references to other films and online videos!!!

Haha, love the intro. "Get into the Heavyweights!" You guys are taking it pretty seriously, which is good - you've got to counterbalance the fact you're young with the fact that you really BELIEVE what's happening. Actor smiles a bit on "Let's move!" which kind of makes me sad - wish that line had more punch and more seriousness to it. LOVE The shots from inside the gas mask.

All the film references are great too - what is the pencil case line from?

Love the Keelay music - dunno if it was good to have it fade it right at the end there. Prolly best if that part was without music. BANG, guy gets shot - and then at the credits - "WE'VE GOTTT IT GOINNGG ONN!" again.

Pacing on this is really good - I was skeptical at first, but you guys pulled together a fun and pretty convincing action sequence! The bomb blast and the dude flying across the screen was AWEESOMME and hilarious, haha.

Kudos! Welcome to the HWs! I rate this film a B+

No, there's no reference to The Mighty Boosh (at least not intentionally, lol) The pencil case line is from something more 'Indy Mogul' related... Can anybody get it?

I like the switching point-of-views, but sometimes it didn't feel like we switched people, just angles. I definitely like it when you see the barrel of the gun as you're running around, very cool. Music choice is VERY odd to me, kind of a turn off. Sound effects are good, but could be a lil bit more varied. I think some of the gun effects work, and some of them don't. Some of the explosions could have been less transparent. I liked the part where the guy flew by the doorway, but I feel like maybe there could've been part of an explosion seen from the doorframe.

At first, I was a little dissapointed with another omggun film, but the leighthearted tone was awesome. The first line was great, and I actually liked the music choice. Some of the smoke fx weren't great, but overall it was great.

Thanks Lexeh! This was the first time we've ever used digital effects like the muzzle flashes and we're glad to hear to liked the song choice!

Awesome movie. I did feel like watching Reservoir Dogs. It's suppost to be action movie but it has good music to feel like it's comedy :)

So here are the answers to the quiz! The 'pencil case' line is from The Gatling Gun Indy Mogul short (which was itself a reference to The Mighty Boosh!) The Film Fights website can be seen in the background at 00:58 and 'Oh man they shot Marvin in the face!' is from Pulp Fiction.
