  • Get Smart/Independence Day Parody (1997)

    Cast & Crew

    1. Scott Fuselier, son of FBI agent Dwayne Fuselier
    2. Chris Morris
    3. Brooks Brown
    4. Unknown

    Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold did not help to create or star in this video.

    Description

    According to Scott Fuselier, this 9.5 minute video was created for a video class assignment and was intended to be a parody of the movie Get Smart. Others who worked on the video said it was a parody of Independence Day. It appears that it could go either way, although the explosion does mimic the scene in ID. The full video has not been publicly released, but Inside Edition obtained a copy and featured a short segment of the video in a special broadcast on May 5, 1999.


    According to the Denver Post:

    “One character, the ‘bad guy,’ is intent on vaporizing Columbine by shooting a beam from a satellite hovering high over Colorado. Another character, a ‘good guy’ who wears a trench coat, is intent on stopping the bad guy from vaporizing the school. The third character is a fellow who mistakenly thinks the ‘good guy’ stole his pen. The fourth character is a fellow who believes that he was cut off in traffic by the one who ‘lost’ his pen.


    During the video, the trenchcoated ‘good guy’ fires a gun at the ‘bad guy’ as the bad guy runs out of the school. During the next few minutes, the characters shoot weapons at one another at various locations away from the school, never hitting each other.


    They finally end up in a standoff. At that point they decide to set aside their differences. However, they don’t stop the plot to vaporize the school.


    The final scene shows the four walking away from the school. As they do, a beam comes out of the sky and Columbine is vaporized.”

    When contacted by the Associated Press, Dwayne Fuselier declined to comment on the video.

    Controversies

    There are some controversies associated with this video. The biggest controversy is whether or not Brooks Brown helped to make this video.

    Controversy #1: Did Brooks Brown help make this video?

    Inside Edition reported that Brooks Brown was part of the editing team. Brooks told Inside Edition:

    “It’s an eerie coincidence, but I doubt it inspired them. Looking back, it’s not really a comedy now, but it was done as a parody and for humor. It was made for two reasons. One, to help get a grade in video productions class, another one to promote the play we were doing at the time.”

    However, in his book, No Easy Answers, Brooks denies that he had anything to do with making the video and claims he lied to Inside Edition to protect Scott Fuselier. From No Easy Answers:

    “So Inside Edition showed up at my door, and said that they had a copy of the video. ‘Do you know anything about it?’ they asked. ‘Well, yeah,’ I said. ‘Did you help to direct it?’ ‘No.’ I replied. ‘I didn’t have anything to do with it. I’ve just seen it.’ They seemed disappointed. ‘Oh. Well, we’re looking for someone who did make this video who will talk to us. Because we’re pretty sure that Eric and Dylan saw this video, and that was what inspired them.’ Then I got worried. One of the guys who had made that video was Scott Fuselier. His father Dwayne was part of the FBI’s Columbine investigation team. Inside Edition didn’t know that yet, but they would figure it out before too long. I liked Scott and his dad a great deal. ‘If this comes out,’ | thought, ‘Scott’s dad will be absolutely crucified.’ So I lied. I said, ‘Well, now that you mention it, yeah, I did help to make it a little bit.’ It was bullshit, sure, and lots of people have told me I shouldn’t have said it. But in my mind, it was a choice between watching Scott and his dad getting completely screwed-along with everyone else who had been involved in making the video-or trying to take the blame for them. After all, for me, it was no big deal. But, I thought, if Inside Edition reported that this FBI investigator’s son had made a video that inspired the killers, their lives would be over. the video, and questions were raised, but fortunately Dwayne Fuselier remained on the case. Scott thought I was just clamoring for attention. Ive never been able to tell him the real reasons for what I did.’ (Brown and Merritt 165).

    Controversy #2: This video mimics the actual Columbine massacre in several ways.


    This video depicts Columbine students shooting fake guns in the parking lot and down the same hallway Harris and Klebold shot down on April 20, 1999. One of the fake guns used for this scene resembles the TEC-DC9M used by Dylan Klebold during the massacre:

    RNN interview with Dylan Klebold (Jan. 30, 1998)

    Cast & Crew

    1. Dylan Klebold
    2. Nate Dykeman (interviewer)

    Description

    On January 30, 1998, Dylan Klebold was interviewed for the Rebel News Network (RNN) in the Columbine High School library. An enhanced version of this video was made to study facial expressions and body language.

    Later that evening, Klebold and Harris were caught with stolen property after breaking into a van. They were arrested not far from the scene of the crime and released to their parents. After a short court hearing, they were both placed into the Juvenile Diversion program and given an early release. This incident was dubbed “The January Incident.”

    In the interview, Klebold is standing near the location where he killed Kyle Velasquez.

    Interview with Rich Long

    This video has never been released to the public.

    Cast & Crew

    1. Eric Harris
    2. Mike Vendegnia
    3. Eric Veik

    Filmed by Veik, this project was a practice run of an interview Vendegnia was supposed to conduct with their teacher, Rich Long. Harris pretended to be Mr. Long while Vendegnia asked him questions. For example, when asked what technology was used to keep the school computers safe, Harris said, “I use a shotgun, I keep the old shotgun under the desk.” When asked about keeping up with growing technology, he said, “I use drugs.”

    CHS Highway Patrol (Late Aug/Early Sept 1998)

    Cast & Crew

    1. Eric Harris
    2. Eric Veik
    3. Chris Walker
    4. Mike Vendegnia

    Description

    Screen shot from "CHS Highway Patrol"
    Harris’ character being arrested in “CHS Highway Patrol.”

    According to Eric Veik, CHS Highway Patrol was made to be a parody of the T.V. show COPS. Harris and Veik play the bad guys, while Walker and Vendegnia play the roles of police officers. In the video, two cops see two guys beat someone up and put him in the trunk of Harris’ car (the person is actually a dummy) while patrolling behind the W. Coalmine McDonald’s.


    Driving separate cars, the cops pursue the suspects into Clement Park where they are arrested. Then they all drive to Columbine High School’s parking lot. This video appears to have been filmed over the course of three separate days since Harris is seen wearing three different outfits.


    As Harris’ character is being arrested on the pavement in the parking lot, Van Halen’s Humans Being is heard playing from a car radio.


    This video was filmed on three separate days, since Harris can be seen wearing three different shirts. In the screen shot above, he’s wearing his Tier t-shirt, but in other segments he’s wearing a green t-shirt and a gray t-shirt.

    Car Wax commercial parody (September 15, 1998)

    3. Eric Veik
    4. Mike Vendegnia

    7. Unknown additional people

    Description

    Harris, Klebold, and their friends made a parody of a MADtv infomercial-style parody “selling” a car wax product called Spishak Spishwax that could withstand anything, including a wrecking ball. In their parody, they use a bike instead of a car. The video is filmed behind Blackjack Pizza.


    After “waxing” the bike, they dump all kinds of things on top of it, light fireworks underneath the bike, and then they smash it to pieces – Klebold uses a sledgehammer and Harris uses a crowbar. At the end, Klebold chases the “bike’s owner” away with a baseball bat yelling, “what the hell are you doing to my sister’s bike!” According to Vendegnia, this video project was never completed because they lost interest.

    Dylan and Nate ride to Columbine (Nov./Dec. 1998)

    Cast & Crew

    1. Dylan Klebold
    2. Nate Dykeman

    Description

    While listening to The Statler Brothers’ “Flowers on the Wall,” Dylan Klebold and Nate Dykeman film their morning drive to Columbine High School with Klebold driving. Dykeman wanted to make the video to show his family members what his daily life was like. “Flowers on the Wall” was part of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.


    In this video, as they approach Columbine High School on their left, Dykeman says, “thar she blows, Columbine High School,” and Klebold says, “Ready the torpedoes, mister, uh, Nate!”


    Shortly after the shooting, Dykeman sold this video to ABC for $16,000. This video was featured in the A&E Investigative Reports documentary titled “Understanding Why,” which aired on April 15, 2002 (Season 11, Episode 15).


    A news article published June 29, 1999, asserted Dykeman’s reason for selling the tape: “I was broke. I had to leave my truck in Oklahoma where it broke down,” he said. “Now my college tuition is paid for. I’ve been criticized enough for this. What was it I did wrong? I know at least a dozen people who were offered money from the media.” Luzadder, Dan. “Family torn apart in wake of Columbine.” CJ Online Nation, 29 June 1999, http://cjonline.com/stories/062999/new_colofamily.shtml.

    Dykeman stated he was going to use the money to pay for his college tuition.

    Originally titled Revenge for Hire, Hit-Men for Hire was made for Harris’ Government Economics class as part of the (fake) business he was assigned to create. Harris earned an A on this project scoring 83 out of 90 points.


    The fake business Harris created made hitmen available to students who were being picked on by bullies. According to Harris, “The business is basically to kill people who anger our clients.”


    In the video, Veik hires two hitmen, Harris and Klebold, to take out a jock (Vendegnia) who keeps harassing him. According to Quentin Brown, the original video had “German techno” as background music. (11k, p.1324)


    You can see Chris Morris in the video wearing the same South Park t-shirt he was wearing when he was arrested the day of the shooting.


    This video was filmed on a few different occasions between December 2-10, 1998. The filming locations included Columbine High School and the backside of the Cooper 7 theater.

    They had originally planned to add special effects to make the house explode at the end.


    It’s believed that this was filmed on April 5, 1999, based on a note Harris made in his planner. Eric’s character, Taggart, is the main protagonist in the Doom novels.

    Rampart Range (March 6, 1999)

    The Rampart Range video features Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, Philip Duran, Mark Manes, and his girlfriend Jessica Miklich shooting various firearms at trees and bowling pins in a wooded area off the beaten path of Rampart Range, a now-defunct shooting range in Pike National Forest.


    The portion of the video released to the public shows the group firing weapons on March 6, 1999. In the video, Harris and Klebold fire three of the four firearms used in the Columbine massacre: a sawn-off Savage 311-D 12 gauge side-by-side shotgun, an Intratec DC9M semiautomatic pistol, and a sawn off Savage-Springfield 67H pump action shotgun.


    The fourth firearm used in the attack – a Hi-Point 995 carbine rifle – is not seen in the final video edit, but Miklich describes Harris shooting a rifle that matched the Hi-Point’s description. It’s likely that this firearm was on a portion of the tape that was cut.


    “Harris and Klebold fired a rifle which Miklich described as being all black in color and resembling the description of a Highpoint rifle. Miklich said this was fired at a greater distance and appeared to be quite accurate.” (11k, p.8177)

    Columbine cafeteria CCTV footage

    Description

    This CCTV footage shows more than three hours of surveillance video captured in the commons from four separate cameras on April 20, 1999. Since the VHS tapes were reused, there are a couple of glitches on the tape that show some brief footage from April 6, 7, and 16.


    The tape starts on 04/06/99 at 08:56:40 then jumps forward to 04/20/99 at 10:33:55.


    The tape rolls until 11:14:55-65 a.m. and jumps to 04/07/99 at 08:27:55 and takes on a green hue before jumping back to 04/20/99 at 11:22:13 a.m., still maintaining this green hue, and (11:22:21?) leaving an 8-minute gap in the tape. Law enforcement claimed it took 8 minutes for the custodian to change the tape. This 8-minute gap, however, is not supported by the custodian’s interview.


    At 11:22:22, one student sitting with his back to the windows turns and looks behind him.


    At 11:22:24, all the students run towards the windows to see what’s happening. –


    At 11:22:35, most of the students start hiding under the tables.


    Harris & Klebold are seen planting the propane bombs


    At 10:58:18-32 a.m., Eric Harris is seen on the tape carrying a heavy duffel bag in his right hand with his backpack over his left shoulder. He’s seen leaving the same way he entered, empty-handed, at 10:59:40 a.m.


    At 110:59:50-44 a.m., Dylan Klebold is seen on the tape carrying a heavy duffel bag in his left hand with his backpack over his right shoulder. The tape doesn’t show him exit.


    At 11:24 a.m., Dave Sanders makes his first run through the cafeteria.


    At 11:44:28 a.m., Eric comes down to the landing and kneels, shooting his rifle at one of the bombs in an apparent attempt to make it detonate.


    This footage was released by Jefferson County on June 7, 2000 as two different tapes:

    • Security Tape 1 – 10:34 a.m. to 12:39 p.m.
    • Security Tape 2 – 12:39 p.m. to 1:11 p.m.

    Where this video was recovered

    This CCTV footage was captured by the cameras installed in the Columbine High School cafeteria and was turned over to law enforcement.

    Where this video was recovered

    This video was provided to JCSO by Nate Dykeman. From Dykeman’s interview:

    “He confirmed that he had in his possession two videotapes made by Dylan Klebold and him. One was made for the “Rebel News Network” announcements at CHS, and the other was made by them in 1998 for the purpose of showing Nate’s father where he lives, goes to school, etc.” (11k, p.10712)

    Dykeman provide this video in 8mm, and the tape was labeled “Intro RNN/Dylan, Nate.”


    Although Veik claims to have filmed this, it seems that Dykeman filmed this video. Perhaps another version was filmed with Veik, or both of them helped somehow. Rumor has it, Eric Harris filmed a similar video, so it’s possible that was the one filmed by Veik. The details are unclear.
