Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison Trailers

In the summer of 2005, a package arrived at the Hollywood offices of Highway 61 Entertainment from London with no return address. Inside were two mini-cassette audio tapes dated December 30, 1999 and labeled "The Last Testament of George Harrison". A voice eerily similar to Harrison's tells a shocking story: Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in November of 1966 and replaced with a double!

Manthast Absolutely amazing
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
aliasstone Horrible and awful. And those are the kind words. Don't waste your time on this one. I watched this after watching Joel Gilbert's "Elvis Found Alive" which was somewhat entertaining (not really), but Gilbert went way too far in making up the myth of McCartney's death. Harrison's accent in this movie was laughable and I'm surprised there wasn't a lawsuit from his estate on how George was used in order to line Gilbert's pockets with a few extra bucks. Again, don't waste your time.
ice ruby red I am not a researcher of Beatle trivia. I am old enough to remember their debut, and I love them and their music, but I couldn't give you dates or data about their recordings, don't know their birthdays, and never played an album backwards. That said, I couldn't help but be astounded by the plethora of symbols and innuendos that overwhelmingly point to Paul's death and a cover up. It goes way beyond coincidence! One or two symbols or rumors, okay.. but this goes deep and went on and on for years!It was only when I got to the one and a half hour point in the documentary (and yes, this was a documentary until the backlash forced the producers to re-classify it a "mockumentary") that I knew it was contrived: Heather Mills could not have been "Rita", the cause of the "accident" – she did not yet exist at the time!! Later, I read that Rubber Soul came out in 1965, which meant that the reason here for the name Rubber Soul (in lieu of "Rubber Paul", based on Paul's supposed death) could not have been true, since the "death" was to have occurred in 1966.Another falsehood in this film is when you hear George, in an interview, refer to Paul as "Faul", not once, but twice. I read that in the real interview he clearly said "Paul", so this was dubbed for the sake of this documentary. Too bad, because I can't help but think that there might be something to this theory, now scoffed at because of the lies in this docu-mocku-mentary. There are just too many symbols, lyrics, etc, to be nothing more than an elaborate game the boys were playing. If it was a game, it dragged on too long. In photo after photo and album after album Paul is intentionally set apart from the other Beatles. I'm sure these performers considered themselves artists. I don't buy that they spent all that time and effort turning their entire careers into a "Paul is dead" game just for the sake of a little joke and some publicity. I have to wonder if this video is for the purpose of being a red herring? No one would go through the trouble of creating this elaborate exposé, only to throw in some obvious fakes that could be disproved in a moment, such as that Heather Mills, who wasn't even born yet in 1966, could have been the cause of the accident. Surely the guy who put together this nearly 2-hour long, detailed documentary, could not be that stupid. Of course, if he created, or was convinced to create this for the sole purpose of discrediting the entire "Paul is Dead" discussion .... it's a resounding success!
kalebspider I think that its funny no one wants to believe the fact that Paul really is dead. I believe thats its true and, even though it could be someone else. if its not really George. what he said really goes together, like a puzzle this guy was really trying to make on outreach and i'm going to stick with his story and believe it! so all of you who don't believe don't go filling others heads! it is not a mockery its serious and true. not laughable.I think that its funny no one wants to believe the fact that Paul really is dead.

havok3595 We were having a really bad day and decided to see this on Netflix streaming because it looked interesting. It definitely delivered in being the bar none most obviously fabricated thing ever.I can take with a grain of salt George supposedly narrating an hour and a half worth of "evidence" in a stunningly quiet hospital room, and even asking his wife for the taping equipment. But...it's so specific that there's no way. Add to that: Capital, not the Beatles, selected the song listing for Yesterday and Today, which was a very sore spot for the Beatles.Yellow Submarine was recorded for Revolver, not Yellow Submarine, which additionally was a soundtrack, not an album. Far moreso than, say, Hard Day's Night or Help since the Beatles only contributed one album side to it.Hello Goodbye and Strawberry Fields Forever were not on the original Magical Mystery Tour release, but were added later because the original double EP format was unable to be released stateside (they previously existed as singles).Let It Be was in the can before Abbey Road was recorded.And so on and so forth.It kills me that the people putting this together were so sloppy yet packaged it as some kind of definitive proof. I laughed for hours after it was over. And the William to Paul transformation video was spectacularly hilarious, even as over-saturated as it was.
