FAMILY GUY PRESENT BLUE HARVEST [ DVD REVIEW ]

Filmed - Saturday 23rd August 2008 . A review on the DVD Family Guy presents Blue Harvest , an epic spoof of Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope . BLUE HARVEST ???? Blue Harvest was the title of the film ruse used to ensure secrecy and disguise the 1981 -- 1983 production of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the third installment of the Star Wars film series. The supposed film was alleged to be an upcoming horror film with the tag line "Horror Beyond Imagination." The title was used in all areas where deemed necessary. The Blue Harvest ruse, credited to producer Howard Kazanjian, was very thorough, emblazoning the fictitious film's logo on a wide range of film production items including shirts, caps, coats, buttons, signs, invoices and stationery. [3]The Blue Harvest façade did give a bit of a wink and nod to its true purpose however, as the supposed film's logo (intentionally or unintentionally) used the distinctive Star Wars logo lettering style. In particular the ruse was employed during location filming in Yuma, Arizona. The filming took place in the dunes over the Thanksgiving holiday, where there was a reported crowd of 35,000 dune buggy enthusiasts. Despite erecting a chain link fence, employing a huge security force, and dodging myriad press inquiries, in the end, approximately sixty fans saw through the ruse and refused to leave until they obtained a few autographs and photos.
