Escape from City 17 - Parts 1 & 2

In 2009, the Purchase Brothers put their creative genius together to form one of the most epic fan made fillms of all time.  Based on Half Life 2, one would think a budget of merely $500 would lead to total disaster.  Quite the opposite, however.  The videos are causing quite the stir all around the internet. 

For a movie made with "no money, no time, no crew, no script, [and] the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500", it's pretty damn impressive.  See for yourself.
