Star Wreck Trailer
ultramarweeni writes "'Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning', a very fascinating feature-length Finnish Star Trek satire is now nearing its completion. Today, December 13th, the trailer was published at 0:00 GMT after 14 hours of technical problems. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning tells the story of the crew of P-Fleet starship C.P.P. Kickstart, which was stranded on Earth after an accident after a battle against the Korg. With the help of the technology to come, their leader, Captain Pirk claims himself as the emperor of the Earth. He conquers the world and rebuilds the P-Fleet. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning has been in the making since 1999 and will probably be completed in spring 2004. Or maybe not. Time will tell."

Not for anybody who has ever had sex.
Hey cool! They even have a whole forum on their boards dedicated to spoofing those Trekkies who learn Klingon . . .
Oh wait, that's the Finnish-speakers board. Nevermind.

This was mistakenly assigned a star wars topic thingy. Please, let's keep those universes separate.
Judging from the inspiration of the script, I'd say it'll appeal to a lot of fans here:
Captain Pirk: Uh, der bork bork vin de bork?
Lieutenant Pock: Vee der borken bork bork!
[cue fight scene music]
Captain Pirk: Der borken die bork borkester borken!
Doctor McPork: Der colden blooden borken bork!
...
Yeah, it just gets better and better.

If you look at the trailer at all, you'd notice that the CGI sequences are not clips from ST episodes. After all, how many times did we see B5... B13, I mean, in Star Trek?
The 3d models used could be a problem, though.

Got the trailer, got the teasers, am i missing something? This is a spoof on star trek obviously, but i didn't laugh.
:)
It doesn't help that the whole trailer isn't in english. So that takes away from the humor for me. That, and the fact that they have really GOOD special effects in the trailer takes away from the humor.
Most spoofs i've seen are cheezy, hilarious knock-offs of the orignials with a heavy dose of humor. hell, make the actors a bit more convincing, and use real black actors, i would have taken this trailer as a trailer for a new star trek series, not a spoof.
Anyway, analysis complete.
A Penny for my thoughts? Here's my two cents. I got ripped off!
You would think so. Indeed, parody is part of the Star Trek Culture.
But that hasn't stopped Paramount from suing people anyway. There was one local production company that had to fold their production of "Star Wreck" because they couldn't afford the legal fees.
It's the corporate way to heavy-hand people into what they want done regardless of constitutional rights. Paramount is one such company.
If I ever I had the resources, I'd like to put on my own production of "Star Wreck" with the intention of letting Paramount take me to court so I could prove a point. But it would be like taking a heap of money and making a bonfire. At least with the bonfire you could warm your hands though.

I dont think it will, since it's Finnish :-p
Those aren't translations. That's what they're actually called. Here's a list:

Romculan War Turkeys (My personal fav.)
SS Kickstart
There are a few others, but I've forgotten them by now. Go download the previous films. The first two are a bit crude, but they get much funnier after that.

Why do folks need to /. cool sites with big movies? All it does is cost them huge bucks that /. folks don't pay, and drive them offline.

Check out the recent victim -
Over this holliday weekend a very popular website called Slashdot.org put up an article about my site and provided a direct link (without my consent so I could prepare for it) to my CGI ATIS virtual ride-thru project. While this was very flattering it also turned out to be very expensive for me. On a single day on (Saturday November 30th) I received 11,000 users that downloaded 33840.220 MB worth of stuff from the site. Due to the high bandwidth used, the Atommobiles.com site was shut down and I was left with a huge $1000.00 bill to pay. I am still working out details about bandwidth issues and I am switching to a more expensive account to get the site back online. So for now, all movies will be removed from the site and the site is in danger of being taken down until these issues get resolved. I will try to keep this site online as long as I can but without the help of some donations this site might become extinct just like Adventure Thru Inner Space. A sad day for me and fans it will be, indeed.
Barely holding on.....
