Sweding

"Sweded" is a term to describe a short remake of a film that has been made on a very low budget and doesn't take itself too seriously. Sweded films often only have one take per scene and not much editing. They are usually spoofs of well-known films and use the most famous and memorable scenes. Sweding comes from the film "Be Kind Rewind", in which one of the characters erases all the VHS tapes in a video store, and the characters cheaply remake all the movies. They used the term "sweding" because they said that the films were imported from Sweden.

Here are a couple of examples of sweded films:

Back to the Future 

Saving Private Ryan

The whole point of sweded films is that they're taking a famous film that most people will know and recreating it in a way that doesn't take itself remotely seriously. I think a good film to swede would be Jaws. The theme music is very well-known and so this could be funny. With a few props, it wouldn't be too hard to do and people will know what it is.
