In 1981 there was a 10 year old boy by the name of Chris Strompolis who saw Raiders of the Lost Ark and had a dream. He talked about this dream with his friends and soon after they had their idea and they were going to follow through with it. They set out making a shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
For the next seven years these friends devoted their free time to this and after many hardships had gotten their shot by shot remake done and in the can. For many years after, it just drifted around and very few peole had scene it. Only now has their film gotten the recognition it deserves!
I can't wait to see it, personally. I'm hoping it'll be released somehow maybe as a bonus on the Indy dvd like Harry Knowles suggested but I doubt that'll happen.
