There's no reasonable way mashing up Lord of the Rings with Suicide Squad should work - yet, it totally does. It totally does.

This mash-up trailer, made by YouTuber TheUnusualSuspect, shows the Fellowship kicking the crap out of orcs, Christopher Lee and uruk-hai to the blistering sounds of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Not only that, it's even cut the film to fit to the trailer with relative ease.

We're guessing it's Legolas = Deadshot because, come on, they're both crackshots and they've both got amazing hairdos. Well, Will Smith is bald in Suicide Squad - but honestly? It sorta suits him.

Meanwhile, you've got Gimli as Captain Boomerang and we're guessing it's Merry & Pippin as the Joker and Harley Quinn, respectively. This trailer also raises the question as to why Peter Jackson's never bothered to get in on the whole comic-book adaptation thing. Sure, he's set to do a Doctor Who episode in the near future, but imagine Jackson taking on something like Aquaman or Nightwing.

That'd be cool.
