For those of you who haven’t seen Be Kind, Rewind yet (which, by the way, you totally should), “sweded” means something like “reshot by amateurs with a minimum of preparation, special effects, and respect for accuracy, but a maximum of raw energy.” Inevitably, people have started “sweding” movies on their own, and posting them on youtube. (There seems to be some sort of contest involved, but I can’t imagine that’s really the point.) This version of Jurassic park starts off a little shakey (the helicopter gag didn’t work for me), but it picks up a LOT once the “dinosaurs” show up. Video after the jump.

Also worth watching: this version of Predator.

The overthinkingit staff is pretty far-flung, geographically speaking, but I can pretty much guarantee that you’ll see a sweded production of our own coming to this space eventually. Probably not soon—probably long after sweding’s little cultural moment has passed—but eventually. It just looks like too much fun.

    We should swede “Steel Magnolias.”

    Or maybe “Grand Canyon.”

    The ultimate swede:

    “Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Adaptation,” a shot by shot fan recreation by teenagers…except that by the time they finished they were young adults:

    Or is this so elaborate it doesn’t count as a swede?

    Fried Green Tomatoes.

    By the way, if you’re having trouble viewing the embedded player (some people have), click here for hot dinosaur action.
