Skyfall gets broken down, berated and simplified in this funny honest trailer

By Genna Patterson

Ah Skyfall, you thought you were safe, being the highest grossing James Bond film of all time. But no movie is safe from an honest trailer from the guys at Screenjunkies. With an effective ‘Voice-over’ guy, the trailer points out all that was quite simply ridiculous or ripped off from another movie.

The ripped off scenes include Home Alone for the end fight scene where Judi Dench makes her own booby traps and Mission Impossible for when the hard drive containing all of the agents’ identities gets stolen.

Basically it just rips the p*ss out of Skyfall. It also notes the director’s other previous experience with action sequences – of a plastic bag flying in the wind in American Beauty.

It is then pointed out that the bad guy in the movie only turns up an hour and ten minutes into the movie… Oh yeah. And that Javier Bardem makes Bond a bit gay. Our favourite bit is when they list the characters including Gollum and Sexy Voldemort.

Watch it to experience the full hilarity yourself, but be warned, you won’t look at Skyfall the same way afterwards.
