Apart from parodies, Downfall also had some reenactments made from them. The majority of these are spearheaded by vzorkic's Downfall Reenactment Contest.

Downfall Reenactment Contest[]

The Downfall Reenactment Contest is a contest organized by vzorkic back in early 2011. The main idea is to have Downfall or Downfall parody fans re-enact, in real life, scenes from the film.

Announcement and conditions[]

Downfall Reenactment Contest

Vzorkic uploaded the contest announcement video on 7 January 2011. In it, Gunsche shows Hitler the famous Fegelein rant being re-enacted by YouTuber killMe4Muffins. In the epilogue of the parody, a notice is shown, inviting interested contestants to post their re-enactments as responses to the video. The notice also describe the qualifying requirements for the re-enactments:

  • Re-enact any scene from Downfall
  • Impersonate any characters from Downfall
  • In any language
  • Voice-over is also accepted (thus acting in front of the camera is not a requirement)

The deadline is set to 31 January 2012.

Downfall Reenactment Contest 2.0[]

The Downfall Reenactment Contest 2.0 is a follow-up of vzorkic's original contest organized by DictatorAntics to commemorate his 900 subscriber mark. Announced on 6 May 2013, it followed up most of the rules of vzorkic's original contest. The contest ran until 3 June 2013, the remaining of the 30-day period is reserved for judging, organization and compilation of the results.

In general, DictatorAntics' contest is argued to be more successful than Vzorkic's, with 13 entries in total. This time around, there are collaborated entries, with three people in the same video, and special effects are deployed. There are no reenactment machinimas like previously seen with Stonos22's entry, though.

All entries are judged by DictatorAntics with guest judges Hitler Rants Parodies and JennieParker87. The results were uploaded on 7 June 2013.
