I caught this on Trace TV this weekend and was very impressed. I know there are tons of these done, but rarely are they so seamless and this is one of them. It was created by DJ Earworm and apparently he’s been doing them for a while now. But sit back, hit play and enjoy The United State of Pop.

2009 certainly saw a surge in movie trailer mashups being posted on the Interwebs. Some very creative people have been slicing and dicing movie footage, and we have posted a couple of those mashups on the blog. The most recent trailer mashup we loved was from YouTube user vadoskincheg who skillfully spliced 50 movie previews together to create one insanely action-filled trailer, Trailer Cut – Volume 1.
Now it seems another movie-loving YouTuber with an equally unpronounceable name – keesvdijkhuizen – has created a tribute to the movies of 2009. One year, 342 movies, and 12 months of hard work have gone into the seven minutes that make up Cinema 2009. Have a look at the montage below.
And if you’re so inclined have a look at Film School Reject’s list of top movies of 2009. I think you’ll be pretty happy with their number one pick ;-)
Let us know your favourite picks from 2009 in the comments below.

Waawaweewa! YouTube user vadoskincheg has skillfully spliced 50 movie previews together to create one masterpiece of a trailer. It’s 3 minutes and 51 seconds of relentless, heart-pounding action, accompanied by equally stirring soundtrack. It’s the trailer for the most epic movie never made.
Have a look at Trailer Cut – Volume 1 below or watch it in HD at YouTube.

YouTube user whosieyevan wondered what Steven Spielberg’s rollicking adventure flick, Raiders of the Lost Ark, would look like if it were made in the 1950s.
He did a little more than just ponder about it – mashing together footage from a variety of films, he created this most awesome “pre-make” that stars Charlton Heston as everyone’s favourite archaeologist. Take a look at the 1951 version of Raiders of the Lost Ark below.
See two more of whosieyevan’s pre-makes after the jump.
As you may have read on the Intertubes, South African actor and District 9 star Sharlto Copley is in final negotiations to play the role of oddball chopper pilot, Captain “Howling Mad” Murdock, in in the upcoming A-Team movie (which we blogged about earlier).
Rounding up the team will be Liam Neeson as John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, Bradley Cooper as the Faceman, and former UFC world light heavyweight champion Quinton (Rampage) Jackson as Sgt. B.A. Baracus. Jessica Biel is linked to the project where she will be trying to act herself out of a paper bag, a task which frequent commenter Macross seems to think is impossible ;-)
He also passed this most amusing mashup onto us. It’s a parody of the A-Team theme song starring the cast of Star Trek. Check it out.
Now wasn’t that just a ball of awesome? Thanks Macross!
If you’re like me and suffer the Sunday blues, then this mashup might bring a little smile to your face. Two dancers, Al Minns and Leon James, demonstrate a popular 1920s dance, the Charleston, to the tune of Daft Punk’s hit “Around the world”. Check it out.
See the original clip after the jump.
He may be tall, crass, and opioninated but Jeremy Clarkson keeps Top Gear as entertaining as ever.
YouTube user Swede Mason has sampled some of the odd sounds that Clarkson has made over the years and mashed them together to make a cool beatbox style track. Check out the Jezza rap!

This super mashup is the mother of all sci-fi movies. YouTuber FYWBreborn mashed the films The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Terminator 2, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, and Transformers 2 into a ginormous explosion fest that would even make Michael Bay get a stiffy.
Check out the trailer for TerminEmpireTrekAliensFormers – that’s a working title ;-)
I’d pay to see this.

We’ve featured a couple of Star Wars mashups on the blog, most notably Han Solo, P.I. We haven’t really covered much in the way of Star Trek aside from mentioning that smut magazine Hustler have made a XXX parody called This Ain’t Star Trek.
And we’d like to take a step in correcting the imbalance by showing you this – a movie mashup of the funniest Monty Python song, “Knights of the Round Table”, performed by the cast of Star Trek. Check it out below.
[Thanks Lucy!]
