Rediscovered Lucas-Commissioned Short "Black Angel" Released On YouTube

Posted by timothy on from the low-budget-high-value dept.

eldavojohn writes: Youtube now offers Black Angel, a short film shown in UK theaters before ESB. What was once thought lost is now found; enjoy. This may be the best half-hour you spend today, even if you must "set your clocks back 34 years," as writer and director Roger Christian advises. (Christian is also known for directing 2000's Battlefield Earth .)

    The SSL certificate for the video source won't validate, making the youtube video halt downloading after a while.

    Not unlike the 'Red/Green Mars' series.

    How much duct tape did it take to get Red Green to Mars?

    Not according to IMDB.

    It's 88th.

    I've actually seen R.O.T.O.R (the 70th worst of all time) -- trust me, it outsucked Batlefield Earth by a long shot. I've seen Leonard Part 6, number 59 on the list, and it was atrocious.

    Hell, the 6th ranked "The Hottie and the Nottie" has Paris freakin' Hilton in it (who has 2 of the top 20). Fortunately I've not seen that.

    You should really never underestimate how many absolutely terrible movies have been made.
