MARCH OF THE UPDATES

Here are some parodies of movies from a few days ago that were also parodied by Cracked. One because it was the only issue I didn't have when I was assembling material last year, the other because it was past the cutoff point I established. Click 'previous' a few times to see the trailers and summaries and who the actors are. Enjoy.

TWISTED
Cracked #312, November 1996
w: Lou Silverstone
a: Walter Brogan

Spielberg wasn't the director for Twister. It was only produced by his company.

TWITS
Cracked #245, July 1989
a: Walter Brogan

PLATOON (1986)
dir: Oliver Stone

PLA-TOONS
Cracked #245
w: Matthew Sweeney
a: Walter Brogan

This parody doesn't require having seen Platoon, it just made for a good pun.

The end has Charlie Sheen and Kevin Dillon from Platoon, as well as Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter and Sylvester Stallone as Rambo. If they were going to use actors from other films about Vietnam, they missed out on they opportunity to use Charlie Sheen's real life father Martin Sheen of Apocalypse Now.

The reason Charlie Sheen's helmet says 'Estevez' is because it's his real last name.
