One of the funniest movies ever

When I was a kid I ended up with a VHS tape....a most awesome VHS tape. I got it from a friend who got it from a friends older brother. It has all three original star wars films(not "special edition")as well as all of Ernie Fosselius's films: Close Encounters,Hardware wars,Bamby meets Godzilla,pork lips now(prob my favorite). ....It took forever to rewind. I swear these movies shaped me as a child into the silly mofo I am today....I mean come on Darth Vader on a hard tail chopper .."you're blocking the road" brilliant!!! I reference to at least one of his movies every day even though only a few people ever get it. I heard that Ernie Fosselius doesn't want anything to do with these movies anymore....I know some dude released Bamby meets Godzilla with his name on it instead of Ernie's. Anyways highly recommend all of them enjoy!! Oh yeah most are on you tube, but they butchered porklips now to make it fit....Amazon Prime lets you stream it for a week or do for a few bucks....DO IT!!!
