Stupid People Tricks are, well, stupid and funny things that happened to people. Everyone has some -- and it's fun to tell and hear about the things that we think are normally impossible.

This SPT belongs to my friend -- and is well, extreme SPT material. Some of you already know the story and yes -- I had his permission before I posted it

.

My friend (whom I shall call...umm...Tommy would be nice) like to film movies. So during the winter break, Tommy and a bunch of his friends shot a movie that he scripted himself -- about gangsters and stuff (I believe the title is "how to be a gangster." or something). Initially I was also going to be in the movie (as the driver a la Clive Owens ), but I bailed out last-second because I had to spend the remaining week of my winter break doing some stuff. However, since I had a pretty realistic-looking BB-machinegun (think Rambo) -- I lent it to him so he can shoot a specific scene.

The scene involves two of the main characters being tied up in a chair in the garage of a gangster, who was interrogating them at gunpoint. Suddenly, the garage door opens, and an assassin would walk in guns ablaze, shoot down the baddies, then just walk away leaving the hostages tied up and puzzled.

So Dec 31st of last year, the scene was filmed and everyone's acting was flawless.

But during the scene -- a car drove by.

Now, imagine if you are in a car, driving in a quiet neighborhood, when you see a garage door open, revealing two teens tied back-to-back to chairs, held at gunpoint by two other teens in suits and wielding glocks, and being gun-downed by a leather-jacket-clad (complete with leather gloves and sophisticatedly menacing shades) killer holding a giganto-enormous gun -- how would you react?

Anyways -- after the filming was over, all the friends have returned the equipment on a table -- all 2 glocks, 1 machine gun, and 3 lines of table salt arranged to simulate 3 "hits" of cocaine. After that, they went home to ready themselves for the upcoming New Year's Eve bash.

But poor Tommy still has to clean up his house from the filming. So he cleans and cleans until it was around 7, and he starts cleaning out his garage and driveway. Casually walking out his front door to clear out some trash, he notices that there are 5 police cars parked in front of his driveway. He looks down the street and notes that there was one more car parked smack-dab in the middle of the road, perpendicular to the median. He looks across the street and notes that an officer was talking to his neighbor and thinks to himself, "hehehe he must've gotten into trouble."

The officer across the street notices Tommy, and calls him over. Tommy goes over and asks, "what can I do for you?" The police begins asking if Tommy knew anything about a garage full of thugs, hostages, guns, etc. etc..

Tommy feels scared. Real scared.

But Tommy's a good kid so he tells the cops, "yeah I was filming a movie and that was one of the scenes." So he radios back to "someone" and tells them something about a student movie project, a gangster movie, etc. etc.

But of course the cop doesn't believe him. So he is joined up with 10 other cops, and Tommy "invites" them into his home -- all 9 6'5 cops towering over him as they enter the house.

So they're inside, with Tommy explaining that he was filming a movie about gangsters and stuff. The cops weren't too happy, saying things like, "you're insane -- downright insane."

Remember the table? What would you think if you were a cop walking into a house suspected of harboring thugs and hostages -- and see a table-top full of weapons? The cops see that too -- and Tommy nervously explains that the "guns" are plastic and fake, and that the lines of cocaine was actually salt.

Tommy was "interviewed" for the next little while, being asked questions like, "Who was in this 'movie'?", "What are their names, addresses, etc. etc. etc.?" And still skeptical about the existence of a movie -- they ask, "can we see the tape of this movie?" All the while being towered by 9 angry cops, in addition to a hulking 6'7 man clad in bullet-proof vest, holding a long shotgun, and a swat-team strategists in those stereotypical swat-hats walking around with his notepad (pen and paper) and jotting things down about the house (planning a strike, perhaps?).

Tommy grabs his DV camera, and shows the tape to the cops. The cops ooh and ahh over his camera, saying things like, "nice camera" and "nice LCD you got there". So Tommy shows them the scene, and they gush some more over the realism of the scene, muttering things like, "nice..." and "you're insane."

Satisfied with his explanation, the 12 now leave (Fellowship of the False Alarm?). But not before telling Tommy that if he hadn't walked out the door to throw out the trash, they would have busted down the door. And since there was a swat strategist there and people brandishing shotguns -- undoubtedly there was a swat team standing by. Perhaps Tommy was constantly under the scope of a sniper throughout the ordeal? Who knows?

As an afterthought-- during the interview Tommy was asked why he didn't call the police station to tell them that he was filming something like that. Unfortunately, Tommy didn't know about it.

This was one of the many times they got in "trouble" over this film. Another scene involved a run-down followed by a similarly hectic beat-down. A concerned motorist had stopped by to see what was going on. This was actually caught on film as well -- maybe a blooper reel is required here?

Tommy finishes cleaning up, showered, and drove over to the party later that night.

"And that's all I have to say about that"

yes, i'd like to see a clip of that film...

Posted by: felixdd

That's pretty much all the replies I get to this story..."post the film!"

It's not my film...it's my friend's -- it'll be his decision to "publish" (which he'll prolly do anyways...I dunno).

But what about your SPT's?

The movie would be ok to see...but I would rather see the look on those cops face when the walked into the house and saw the lines of salt and all the fake guns on the table...

lets see, I've done a lot of stupid things in my day, but here is a decent one:
I think that mine might just win. In Mexico, i wanted to go ATVing, and my parents let me do it by the hotel. The hotel is located just on the beach, so my parrents thought that my older brother(16 years old) and I would just go down the beach to some sand dunes, cause we saw ATV tracks on the beach. So, we went to the place to rent them, and I was wearing sandals, but I thought that the ATV's either were automatic, or didn't have gears, so I wasn't worried, but they were really clutchless manuals, and you have to use your foot to shift. So, i had to eventually switch ATV's to one that was a slightly different size. So we started going, and the goggles that were provided gave sooooo much glare that I couldn't even see. They led us on to the street, and once we took a turn we were on a main (3 lanes going each way with a full cement median) street, (about 30-40 MPH limit) and the ATV said that you must be over 16 to drive it, and never to drive it on streets. My brother and the guide started speeding up really fast. Since I haven't driven on a major street before, changing lanes on a car was new to me. 2 lanes were blocked up due to mantanience, so I was going around it, then the stupid mantanience truck starts to speed up right when I am changing lanes. I am stuck in the left lane, so after it passes, I try to get into the right lane, and I hit the curb, and fly over it. the guide comes back (going the wrong way), and I say that I will go back, so he wants me to ride the ATV back, after getting 2 cuts and a few bruises, on the wrong side of the road. After I refused, and in spanish tried to explain that I would walk, the started laughing, like it was sad that I didn't want to drive on the wrong side of the road on an ATV

PS: I want the video!!!
