Hitmen for Hire is a short film by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the perpetrators of the Columbine shooting, that was made in 1998. In it, they are portrayed as hitmen-for-hire who help geeks and wimpy kids whose lives are being made worse by bullies.

It is watchable here.


This short film provides examples of:

  • Bully Hunter: Eric and Dylan are hired to stop bullies from going after a kid.
  • Large Ham: Dylan gets really hammy and angry when making his long-winded threats.
  • Pixellation: Anyone who isn't Eric or Dylan has a heavy mosaic effect applied to cover their face.
  • Team Power Walk: Eric and Dylan are first shown slowly walking through the hall in a wide shot, with their faces eventually getting revealed.
  • That Makes Me Feel Angry: The kid who is being bullied says that he doesn't like it and it's making him mad.
