Steven Spielberg
Picture a child sitting next to a projector, Learning from your films to become a much better director.

Now, picture a 3 billion dollar dream machine Who can block bust all over your crop duster scene!

Try to duel with me, Alfred, you must be Psycho! I'll bring back JAWS and take a bite of your lifeboat!

I'm always so on top of my game. I get the vertigo!

My jet's in the terminal waiting for me to murder ya.

I rock the Academy and the DGA! You rock as many Oscars as that schlep Michael Bay!

Next time you're filling up those jowls with three steaks and soufflé, Check the trades; see me Amblin to my next big play!

I produce cartoons and make games for all ages. You produce Jimmy Stewart making one of two faces! Maybe next time I visit, you'll be a bit more gracious! Now kiss my full moon and just bask in my greatness!

Alfred Hitchcock
That was a close encounter of the turd kind, But there won't be a pretty ending this time.

Half your billions should go to John Williams!

Now brace yourself as I reveal my brilliance! I'm the master…of suspense, so intense, No defense against Hitchcock once he presents! (Ahh!)

My skill is enormous, orchestrate brilliant performance. You're more horrible than Megan Fox's acting in Transformers!

C'mon! Fish puppets and Muppets to stir the fears up! I squeeze screams out of chocolate syrup!

I'm the best mamma-jamma ever stood behind the camera! Damage panderers and haunt you like the last Indiana!

Quentin Tarantino
Cut! Gimme a Tylenol. Stop rhyming, y'all!

Alfred, you got no style, dog. I'm the king of dialogue!

There's only one movie I know you from, And I've seen more blood in the shower when I stubbed my toe in one.

You tried to fight in World War I but couldn't do that. The British Army wouldn't let you join 'cause you were too fat! Look it up; it's a true fact. Wikipedia that!

Now allow me to attack Steven the hack.

Due to War of the Worlds, a failure's what I label you. It looked like some sellout bullshit Michael Bay would do!

Ask anybody, "What's your favorite Sam Jackson part?" No one's gonna say, "What's-his-name from Jurassic Park!"

Scripts that I write ain't the…cleanest, (Fuck!) But when I grip mics I'm the…meanest. (Dick!) Quentin Tarantino is a…genius. A bad mother fucker from the wallet to the penis!

Stanley Kubrick
Genius is a powerful word, but there's no reason to use it, 'Less you're talking about the Kubrick, then there's really nothing to it.

Everything I do is visionary.

Every single frame a painting made exactly how I wanna make it.

Do another take and get it right, 127 times! I'll make you learn to love me! I'm the bomb, drop ultraviolent rhymes!

Like Clockwork, make you all hurt, beat Spielberg The Color Purple! A.I. is the worst waste of potential since the Ninja Turtles!

Michael Bay
That's enough! I've heard enough crap from all of you! Why don't I come down there and show you what a real star can do?

I swoop low with the telephoto, no Bruckheimer, I work solo.

If there's one thing I've learned, bitch, this game is about mother fucking money! I make that dollar, y'all, mother fucking money! Even make Mark Wahlberg make some mother fucking money! I set up shop and got a few drops of that Got Milk money! Rose to The Rock, now I got that socks made of silk money!

I ain't got that guilt money! I don't give a fuck! I take my checks to the bank, and I sign 'em with my nuts!

I give the people what they love while the critics say I'm evil! Got no time to read reviews while I'm working on the sequel! Got a gift from above and the eyes of an eagle! When it comes to blowing up, no director is my equal!

Alfred Hitchcock
Well that was a close encounter

of the turd kind

But there won't be a happy little ending this time

I'm the master…of suspense

No defense

Against Hitchcock once he presents

uh!

You wouldn't be anything without me

I'm the one who invented all your best techniques!

fish puppets and Muppets to stir the fear up

I can squeeze screams from some chocolate syrup

I'm enormous

orchestrate a brilliant performance

You're as boring to watch as dialogue in Transformers

Here's the reveal

you may be worth billions,

But half that cash should go straight to John Williams

And not to put your pictures into black and white

But you did Schindler's List for free

Got paid for Amistad, right? Yikes.

I'm the best mamma jamma

ever stood behind a cameras

Hitch put this mainstream (I'll DP E.T. post it on IMDB)

General

 * This is the first mid-season finale to not be a holiday battle.
 * This battle was released three days before Steven Spielberg's birthday.
 * This is the fifth battle with third parties and the second battle with multiple ones, after Rasputin vs Stalin.
 * This is the first battle where more than one guest plays a third-party rapper.
 * This is the first episode of Season 4 in which Nice Peter physically portrays a solo title rapper.
 * The last time he acted solo was as George Washington in George Washington vs William Wallace, a gap of seven battles.
 * This is the second battle to feature film directors, the first being Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood.
 * However, it is the first battle to feature individuals known primarily for being a film director. Both Bruce Lee and Clint Eastwood are better known as actors.
 * This is the longest battle to date at 4:00, beating Rasputin vs Stalin at 3:38 seconds.
 * Coincidentally, both of these are battle royales.
 * This is the first battle to feature footage which was not filmed in front of a screen (Kubrick riding down the halls of Makers Studios).
 * During Michael Bay's verse, an eagle is seen disappearing in an explosion in the background. The eagle reappears at the end when the Epic Rap Battles of History logo explodes.
 * This battle has the second/third most locations (without counting reused footage), with 4 different locations, behind Zeus vs Thor and tied with Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters.
 * The battle alternates between having a rapper who is currently living and a rapper who is deceased. Spielberg, Tarantino, and Bay are all still alive at the time of the battle's release while Hitchcock and Kubrick are both deceased.
 * This is the first battle since Romeo and Juliet vs Bonnie and Clyde that Peter has made a physical appearance in.
 * When the video was first released, Stanley Kubrick was credited as "The Ghost of Stanley Kubrick" in the description of the battle.
 * The description has since been changed to credit him.
 * This is the third battle to have an acapella version, following Zeus vs Thor and Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter.
 * The title of the video doesn't include the season number, making it the first since Season 1.

Production

 * Not including the recording sessions or green screen cuts, this is the third battle to have more than one Behind the Scenes video. The first two were Darth Vader vs Hitler and Zeus vs Thor.
 * This is the sixth battle where one actor voiced and/or played more than one rapper, the first five being Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates, Rasputin vs Stalin, Donald Trump vs Ebenezer Scrooge, Artists vs TMNT, and Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters.

Continuity

 * This is the first time the creator of a character appears after the character, and the third instance a character and their creator have both rapped in the series, after Dr. Seuss appeared with his characters, the Cat in the Hat and the Things against William Shakespeare, whose characters, Romeo and Juliet, eventually appeared later.
 * This battle has the most beats out of any battle at five, beating out Rasputin vs Stalin and Donald Trump vs Ebenezer Scrooge, which both had three.
 * This is also the first battle in which every rapper has their own beat.
 * The scream heard in Alfred Hitchcock's verse is the same scream heard in the end sequence of Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter.
 * This is the first battle where a character cannot be directly seen in his title card.
 * This battle has many similarities to Rasputin vs Stalin.
 * Both feature five rappers, each in their own party.
 * Both have a character portrayed by Nice Peter start with a verse, a character portrayed by EpicLLOYD with the second verse, and a character portrayed by Nice Peter with the fifth and final verse.
 * Just like the last royale, every character is in color except for one (Vladimir Lenin and Alfred Hitchcock).
 * Both have a character enter the battle through a seeming hole in the battle (Mikhail Gorbachev and Quentin Tarantino).
 * Both have characters portrayed within a projection screen (Vladimir Putin, Steven Spielberg, and Alfred Hitchcock).
 * Both have a character enter from above (Vladimir Lenin and Michael Bay).
 * Both had connections that were hinted at before the battle's season began without revealing they would be royales.
 * Rasputin vs Stalin was hinted at by the "quote" by Vladimir Putin saying that he would kill Nice Peter if there was no Russian in Season 2 at the end of Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD.
 * This battle was hinted at by Nice Peter on Special:Chat, where he mentioned there would be a director battle in Season 4.

Errors

 * At 0:19, the animation of the inside of the T-Rex's mouth glitches for a few frames.
 * Quentin Tarantino's opening line has a misspelled "Gimme" – "Cut! Gimmie a Tylenol!"
 * During the line "Ask anybody, 'What's your favorite Sam Jackson part?'", Quentin Tarantino's right hand gets cut off.
 * As Kubrick rides the tricycle into battle, the camera zooms in on the wheels showing a space background instead of the moon.
 * This, however, could have been done intentionally as a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
 * During the line "I make that dollar y'all, motherfucking money!", Michael Bay's left hand gets cut off.
 * During Michael Bay's verse, the subtitles say "got few a drops" instead of "got a few drops".
 * During the line "Got no time to read reviews while I'm working on the sequel!", Michael Bay's left hand gets cut off.
