Oh my lordy. Things run in a theme. I was on Youtube looking for Super-8 films and this came up as a hit...

It is a Super-8 Star Trek short film made by a bunch of kids in Cape Cod in 1978. I have not laughed like that in ages while watching a 'movie'. The kids staged a fight sequence and it is, as far as I'm concerned, worth the price of admission. The original series had professional stuntmen and it showed, even if they did not always look like the characters they were standing in for, but, needless to say, the kids here do "their own stunts", so the illusion is perfect... and hilarious!
They were talented little buggers. And they clearly understood the source material.
The audio was added a few years ago as were a few "opticals".
Great show.
(Another effective touch is the way they use music from "The Cage", "Amok Time", and "The Doomsday Machine".)
