I remember a movie as a kid. I thought it was Two Evil eyes, but the plot outline doesn't sound like what I remember.

I think it was an anthology horror film and one of the stories had a husband waking up in a tribal dream world where his wife is the queen. In the end, they tie his arms and legs to two long poles and hold them upright, so he is suspended high in the air. The take a spear and shove it up between his legs and it comes out his mouth. That's the end I think.

I am trying to remember a movie or special which I remember had Kermit the frog that took place with toys and dolls that if caught being alive, would "die" and never move again. I think it was probably a decade or so ago, and I remember watching it on tv either at school or at home.

I posted this earlier but I have a couple revisions that might help.

Probably late 80's/early 90's sci-fi thriller where the crew of a space station is mysteriously dying off. The twist ending is that they never left earth and it was just an experiment in an underground bunker. Nobody stopped them from killing each other because all the technicians are dead, and the entire world has been destroyed by nuclear war. I think that the computer was killing them off, and it was only at the end that they started being suspicious of one another. It ends with a man and a woman standing together outdoors and you can see that the city has been destroyed by a nuclear apocalypse.

I'm pretty sure that we rented this from a video store but I guess it could have been on television. I'm going to start checking the plot descriptions of episodes from the Outer Limits because this is really bothering me that I can't figure this out.

I saw this movie on IFC a few months ago. It was a Japanese movie. It was about two hitmen, one veteran and one cocky new guy. Cocky new guy ends up trying to kill the veteran. It was awful in terms in plot, but I really liked the action sequences. Anyone know the name?

A few weeks ago, I caught just a scene of a movie on television I believe on HBO or some channel along those lines.

The scene:

A few men are sitting outside; I believe it to be in an eastern European country. They are in the mob or just criminals in some way. One of the underlings is in trouble with the boss and they are having a meeting. The boss gives his speech while staring at the guy in trouble. Then he calls a kid over who appears to be some kind of street vendor selling kabobs or some meat on a stick thing. The takes it off or eats it, and then stands up and stabs the underling in the eye brings him to the ground and pushes it into his brain killing him.


I do not remember any of the actors sadly I only caught it in passing. Please help!

4. More spooky! I think it was on Nickelodeon back when they turned into National Geographic at 9PM. There was a haunted house, and a girl ghost who is portrayed as a red dot that moves around. In the end, the house burns down maybe? But it's maybe related to a special where some kid is looking at a dead bird in the street and telling kids that "Death happens to every living thing" and a ghost comes out of a wall and the rest is lost in a blur of "Ah! I'm five stop terrifying me!"

This is a thiller of some sort that I remember seeing on TV during the 80s or early 90s. The main character is a former cop (I think) who is a crack shot but something traumatic happened that caused him to be extremely afraid of the noise and recoil of ordinary guns so he only uses an air pistol instead. In on scene he tries to fire a regular gun (a buddy talks him into it) but almost drops it while doing so.

I haven't seen it, but on a lark I googled "skewer through the eye" and got two seperate reviews of the movie "Turistas" that seem really close to the scene you are talking about. I'll laugh if I actually found it that way!

Is anyone familiar with a kung-fu film where the antagonists were ninjas that resembled each of the four elements, and the protagonists were smuggling a prince out of a beseiged palace? It was really over the top, sega even used clips of it for some commercial back in the day. I've looked all over for it, but my search is stumped by the existence of a film called "five element ninjas" which is close enough in plot to fill up all the search results.
I think there was also one of those old bad guys with a really long white beard common to kung-fu films who was the leader of the antagonists. Any ideas?

3.This one I want to see again, because it looked freakin’ awesome and Eugene Levy was in it - this bickering couple gets sucked into a television, and at one point they’re animated mice a la Bugs Bunny cartoons and in another they’re in a historical film about the French Revolution. Anyone? Anyone?

4. Lastly - this was an animated movie, about early 90s, I'm guessing. It involved a Rooster who was also an Elvis impersonator going up against an evil Owl who liked to eat kittens, or something. I think the Owl turns a little boy into a kitten who helps the Elvis Rooster find his voice, or something. Any help would be great.

1. Okay, the first movie I watched on Showcase when I was about 10 or 11, so mid-90s. I’m pretty sure it was a British movie. It was about a boy, and he’s in love with a girl, and somehow he finds this magical being in exile (also a boy about his own age) who can grant seven wishes - with the gist being that you can unwish the first six, but the seventh is permanent. So naturally, the hero makes a load of poorly-thought out wishes all in regards to getting close to the girl he likes, and he ends up transformed into things like a rock star (who’s chased by an angry mob of parents), a girl (when he wishes to be the girl’s best friend) and eventually, for his seventh wish, a baby (because he wishes that everyone would love him). The effects are really bad - for instance, he’s not really a baby by the end of it, but himself in a diaper and a bonnet in a crib made to look smaller than it actually is. Somehow the genie-boy gets back to his own land so he gets his powers replenished and the protagonist-boy goes back to normal. Any takers?

I've been thinking of this movie I saw on TV a couple of times years ago, and I liked it for some strange reason even though it wasn't very good. It had a certain vibe to it, though, that I liked - maybe just the fact that it was on really early in the morning both times I saw it.

It would have been made at the end of the '80s or early '90s, maybe just a straight to video movie or something. I remember the plot well enough that anyone who knows it should be able to tell me the name. A guy falls in love with this girl, whom he marries, but she starts cheating on him. He finds out and she entices him to hit her, which he does, once. This turns out to be part of her plan to fake abuse and turn his friends against him, and have him committed to an asylum while she steals all his money. It ends with him exploiting a catch-22, by strangling her when she comes to visit him, ostensibly getting away with murder since he is already considered insane. Also I believe it featured a couple of dream sequences at an empty amusement park at night with a lit ferris wheel.

I've tried Googling a few phrases but I'm not getting anything really. Thanks a lot if anyone can let me know.

The "seven wishes that transform the character and also backfire" sounds similar to Bedazzled.

This was a drama, probably from the early '90s. It was about some kids, possibly teenagers, and I think there was a girl. At least one or all of them were homeless, runaways, or having trouble in school. I remember them meeting up under a bridge, and it might have been a regular hang out spot. There might have been a sea nearby. This last part I might be mixing up with another movie, but one of the kids had a confrontation or fight with an adult inside a building, I think involving catwalks.

FitFortDanga posted:

This sounds like it could be a lot of things, but the first movie I thought of was River's Edge (no catwalks, though).

This is partly inspired by the amazing A/T thread about being in a military prison (and the discussions in there about civilian prisons). This is a film that a friend and I saw on TV aged about 13 or so - roughly 1988, but it looked like it was a few years old already, so we're looking early to mind 80s. It might have been based on a true story. Two brothers are orphaned. The state has nowhere to put them so they are put into a juvenile detention facility. It's hardcore rough. One scene stuck in my mind traumatically, where a kid gets raped one night after lights out. The rapists slide from bed to bed in the dorm along the polished floor on blankets, pulling themselves along the metal bedframes. In the morning one kid is left lying in bed in the foetal position, One of the guards comes up and asks what's wrong, and when the sheet is lifted the mattress is soaked in blood around his pelvic area. Freaked me out. Any ideas?

The only scene I might recall involves a tractor, prior to the parents' death? Maybe they were farmers?

In the only other scene I remember he gets in a fight with someone and shoots him in the face repeatedly with his air pistol. Something happens to the guy he's chasing (he fall through a window or something) and the main character threatens him with his air pistol but the chased guy says: "I'm dying, you can't do anything to scare me", and then the main character presses his air pistol to one of his eyes and says: "now you're going to die blind!" In the close-up the viewers see that the dying guy has a lot of small cuts in his face from being shot with the air pistol. Might've been a TV movie or pilot.

Nav Omicron posted:

Googling movie quote "die blind" points to a verbatim line/situation like you described in Sunset Grill. The movie description doesn't quite match.

Is that your movie?

I've got one...this is actually a tv show, possible a saturday night live sketch from the 80's. Its a comedy skit where a black guy goes into outer space. There is a really funny part where the guy is trying to get food from a machine on the spaceship and he tries to get chicken and makes a bunch of funny jokes about it. Then we see him outside the ship, wearing his helmet, then he takes it off and his head explodes. I'm pretty sure this is a SNL skit, or some other skit that was shown on a comed show. Anyone know where this is from?
