So I was thinking this afternoon and a movie popped into my head. I think I saw it on the Disney channel years ago, but I doubt it was actually a Disney production. There were these two guys and I think one of them was voiced by the guy who voiced Garfield in the various Garfield specials and shows. Another character was a super hero in training or something. The bad guy worked at something called the Murkworks I think. I don't know what he was planning or anything, just where he worked or lived or something. I remember it was funny, or at least I thought it was funny at the time. edit: Okay, I've gotten IMDB to spit out Twice Upon a Time following the Garfield guy (Lorenzo Music apparently), but I can't make it tell me if the Murkworks is involved or any other real pertinent information. I'm kind of bad at this

I know the movie is pretty old and if I remember correctly it's directed by a very famous director and moviemaker by now. Who, I don't remember. It was about a guy who was trying to get home from work, I guess, but there was a huge truck who kept trying to kill him. By that I mean he tried to push the guy (in his car) onto the train-tracks, he tried to shove him down a cliff and so on. I remember a scene where the man was in a bar and was looking for the truck-driver, but was unable to identify him. The movie ended with the guy placing his briefcase onto the accelerator of his car and he let the car drive down a cliff. The truck followed, I think. Down the cliff. If anyone can help me I'd be very grateful! Edit: Ape Agitator got it. It's "Duel". Thank you! Bombajio fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Apr 17, 2007 |

Are you sure it couldnt have been one of the Cannibal movies? I was able to rent both Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox in the 80's here in Quebec. I dont remember much about either but there was a scene in Ferox with a girls being hung by hooks through her tits. Also, maybe its: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075984/maindetails It does feature a girl getting her tits cut off by cannibals.

Pweller posted:The movie would not have been Cannibal Holocaust or anything you wouldn't be able to rent at a video store in the late eighties. Are you absolutely positive you're not thinking about Cannibal Holocaust? Do a google image search for "cannibal holocaust" (with safe search off of course) and you'll definitely see the image of a person impaled on a wooden stake. Is that what you're thinking about? Also, I do believe that Cannibal Holocaust does have a sunrise scene in it (at least in one of the 50 cuts of it that float around).

All I can remember of the movie is the song "That's Amore" a geeky highschool guy trying to get the girl, a frog prince singing out the song over the PA system and calling a frog plague on the school when it looked like the kid was getting into some trouble. I tried google for Frog prince, highschool, that's amore, tried IMDB for Frog, Frogged, Frog prince, and finding nothing. Any help? If it made it to DVD I'd like to find a copy.

I'm looking for a film that I'm certain was a Bond film. However, I've spent the last few weeks watching them all and it wasn't. I remember watching it on TV one Christmas when I was younger (10 years ago maybe). The hero ends up in an alley with a henchwoman, forced to sign something. The woman ends up with the pen which ultimately explodes, leaving behind nothing but a shoe. I seem to remember motorcycles being involved in the scene too but this could be my imagination. Not a lot to go on I know but I'd love it if anyone has any ideas.

InfiniteZero posted:If you lived anywhere except the UK, you would have been able to rent Cannibal Holocaust in the 80s. I've seen Cannibal Holocaust, and I'm sure it isn't it. The key to the scene was that is was at night (Holocaust is daytime for everything), and I think there were 2 guys and a woman (maybe a few more guys) all tied to stakes (not impaled), and it was pitch dark with red glowing fires lighting the scene. I'm beginning to think there was no cutting of boobage since I would have either somehow watched this on tv late at night while unsupervised (unlikely), or my parents would have been watching it (probably not gory). This movie would have been more thriller than gory. Emanuelle sounds too gratuitous.

I know the movie, it's called I Come in Peace starring Dolph Lundgren, but I never watched the whole thing. Can someone explain why an alien would come in peace while sticking a USB port between a woman's boobs? Or is it a play on words like "To Serve Man"

The whole deal was that he was collecting human endorphins, which were a drug for aliens. He'd shoot the victims up with a high dose of cocaine (the tube in the chest) and then ram a spike through their head to collect the endorphins. As for the title, it's just ironic. He'd say it to people just as he was using them as drug factories.

Oh I've heard it, but it makes as much sense as "Take me to your leader! (kill)" "Live long and prosper! (kill)" though I suppose neither of those two can be table-turned one liner wise

I think it conveys a lot. An alien is coming, and he says he is peaceful- except that since it stars Dolph Lundgren (and whatever the poster/trailer looks like) you can be sure it will be shitkicking actionpacked and not at all peaceful. So now you know there's something mysterious afoot with the title being all misleading and all, and by extension the alien who is coming and saying as much. What else does he have to hide... yada yada, what other mysteries does this story hold... Now I want to see this interesting movie, based on three words and my preconceptions of them and the situation.

Does anybody remember a movie that takes place on an island I think right after the end of WW2. There is a Japanese and an American soldier on the island I don't think they know the war has ended. They fight it out over the course of the movie. I think the American has some sort of M3 grease gun with two barrels. I forgot who won. Probably neither of them.

Looking for a movie that came out this year...I saw a trailer for it before Children of Men. It featured a man and a woman that apparently had just gotten married or moved in together. The trailer reminded me of a Kubrick trailer with solid colored title cards. There was some great music in the trailer that sounded like the shins, but better. Also, the woman had red hair. Help me goons!

My ex-girlfriend just called, and she and her roommate are trying to find a movie that her roommate saw a long time ago. The movie itself was from the 60s or 70s. Here's what I was told: Two young women go to france, because they grew up there, raised by their great-aunts. They come to find out that their great-aunts were strippers, and now everyone expects them to become strippers too. There's something about a scene in which they dress in flesh-colored costumes, and trick people into thinking they stripped naked, and then everyone gets mad at them. And there were romantic plotlines for the two women. They don't know any of the actors involved. I know this isn't a lot to go on, but hopefully somebody's seen this film and remembers it. Thanks in advance!

I dont even know why I want to know the name but I saw bits of a really bad movie on premium cable. It had Shannon Doherty as this chick who thinks she's being stalked, and Colm Fiore as an FBI agent or something helping her. It turns out her best friend set her up to hire a fake bodyguard and the fake stalker fake kills the fake bodyguard and the FBI then fake sets up a payoff and Colm Fiore fake dies but turns out his partner faked them out and she really actually killed him with a pistol. Instead of fake blood its real! Fake FBI partner then Fakes faking and actually wants money to herself so starts killing other conspiracy members Fake

Okay guys, I hope you can help me out with this one. My friend tells me it's about a boy who fell in a sewer after being pressured by his friends to cross a pipe. He wakes up in another where he is the only one that can read a magic book..etc. I also asked another friend, and he remembered there were kangaroo looking things in the movie, but he doesn't remember it either. My first friend said she saw it around 98 or 99 on TV, so I assume this movie is pretty old since it was already on TV at that time. Thanks!
