Watch This: 'The Shawshank Redemption' (1983 Version)
Filed under: Fandom, Trailers and Clips
It almost pains me to post this simply because The Shawshank Redemption is one of favorite movies of all time, and I hate to promote a video that alters (in a spoof-ish sorta way) the wonderful feelings I have for this film. But it had to be done! Those basterds over at Funny or Die have created a new video that shows you what the last twenty minutes of Shawshank Redemption would've looked like had the flick come out in 1983. Don't worry, it's nowhere near twenty minutes long -- let's just say this little bundle of fun may include an 80's-style montage. If, like me, you're a complete sucker for the ending of this film and draw tears just thinking about it, something tells me this might not be your cup of tea. Not much more to say other than ... thank God this didn't come out in 1983.Warning: Foul language alert - might be NSFW

get busy living, or get busy montaging.

Erik, I completely agree with everything you said-this is also high on my all time favorite lists and the end brings tears to my eyes (the end credit song is as moving as it gets for me) but that was actually pretty hilarious-not to mention accurate.

Hilarious, but since when does a bad '80s tune lend such credence to a good 90s film?
