Gareth Evan’s The
Raid: Redemption is easily the most intense experience I’ve had in a movie theater
so far this year. It’s a fearsome,
untamed beast of an action film that offers the viewer no respite. I don’t expect any other action movie this
year to match it, much less top it. I also
didn’t expect a truly effective parody of the film to surface so quickly,
especially not one featuring…claymation cats!
Claymation Cult favorite Lee Hardcastle has crafted a three
minute retelling of The Raid: Redemption
as part of his “Claycat Cinema” series. It
recreates key moments from the film in “Claycat Cinema” terms. The results are legitimately (and
intentionally) hilarious, especially for those who’ve actually seen The Raid: Redemption.
An Aardman Studios production this is not. It appears to have been made with the same
art materials available in just about every Kindergarten classroom in America. Fingerprints can even be seen on the clay at
points. It’s quite surreal seeing Mike
Shinoda and Joseph Trapanese’s musical score playing out underneath such silly,
crude visuals.
The jokes are obvious, but each and every one of them works. Hearing the claycat version of Tama’s
intercom announcement/offer to the building’s residents is enough to leave any
fan in hysterics, as it might as well have been issued by Charlie Brown’s
teacher. There’s also a running gag with
a ball of yarn that gets funnier each time it’s used. Claycat’s
THE RAID brought a huge smile to my face, and I now gladly share it with my
readers. Enjoy.
