Video: Can you guess the Hollywood films brilliantly recreated using only stock footage?

Cats fighting for the throne, arrogant pilots in the Danger Zone and a simple boy who runs into success after success. What films are they?

Cats fighting for the throne, arrogant pilots in the Danger Zone and a simple boy who runs into success after success. What films are they?

JOE has often thought about insuring our undoubted Martin Scorsese-esque directing talent and recreating some of our favourite films, just like Jack Black brilliantly did in Be Kind, Rewind.

The Death Star from Star Wars would be a football covered in tinfoil, car chases would be remade using dinky toy vehicles, and our hurls would be used for our epic sword fights.

While we wait for the Academy Awards to give us the 2015 Oscar for Best Film, you should check out these classic movies, all superbly remade using stock footage.

Take a look and see if you can guess them all.
