Yes, it's another entertaining remix of footage from Bond films and a number of Tom Hanks' films to produce a trailer for Tom Hanks coming soon as the newest Bond.

You can find it here.

But wait! There's more!

It's Captain America Fuck Yeah! here. What happens when you combine Captain America* with the theme from the film Team America? You get this!

*In case you've been living in a cave, or just don't follow comic books, you may or may not know that there's a major firestorm amongst readers of Marvel comics. After the debacle which is Civil War**, an arrogantly, aggresively, abysmally stupid mini-series that sadly sold like hotcakes, Marvel's Editor in Chief wasn't satisfied with turning Captain America in a moronic surrender monkey and throwing him in prison. No, Captain America gets shot to death like any little punk on the street outside the courthouse.

This being comics--and Marvel Comics in particular--there is, of course, zero chance of Cap staying dead for long, much less permanently. (There are even rumors that he's been spirited away into seclusion isn't actually dead at all.) But it still pissed off a lot of fans.

**The "good guys" in this battle between superheroes who are for and against a superhero registration act are behaving like classic supervillains. Captain America, not surprisingly, objects and goes underground to fight them. The mini-series ends with a handful of bystanders pulling Cap away as he's pounding the stuffing out of Tony Stark/Iron Man. Only then does Captain America look around and realize how much collateral damage this superhero battle royale (dozens of supers on both sides) has caused--so he gives up.

Yes, Captain America, a) never realized that superhero battles cause collateral damage, b) that WARS cause collateral damage (after all, it's not like he fought in WWII--wait, he did?), c) or considered that fighting this fascist, unconstitutional and egregiously evil act might require such consequences. But no, Cap gives up, gives in, and goes to jail while Tony "Himmler" Stark gets appointed head of SHIELD and goes about enforcing this nifty new order.
