You Have To Rent/Own Family Guy: It’s A Trap

I meant to post this a while ago, but I completely forgot. You’ll have to forgive me if my geeky side is showing through on this post, but I had to share. Also, since Lucas is releasing his Star Wars series on Blu-ray this week, it’s sort of relevant.
One of my favorite late-night televisions shows is Family Guy. Sure it crosses the line many, many times, but I really enjoy some of the show’s wit as well as the pop-culture references pulled from my generation. A great example of that is their parody of the original Star Wars trilogy. It started with Blue Harvest, their version of A New Hope. Then came Something, Something, Something Dark Side, which was their version of Empire Strikes Back. The last of the series, It’s A Trap – their version of Return Of The Jedi, was released this year.
Why am I writing about this on a bike blog?
Because, the famous speeder bike chase scene that took place through the forest of Endor in Return Of The Jedi, was remade as a chase scene on bicycles in It’s A Trap. So, if you are a fan of Star Wars, Family Guy and bicycles, this is a must see movie.

This was the weakest of the FG Star Wars episodes but this chase sequence is excellent.

Agreed – just like with the original trilogy.

That scene was fun. It was just on last week, first time I had seen it.
