I was wondering if someone could help me here - It's a martial arts film set in ancient China at some point, and I thought it starred Jet Li but I couldn't find it on IMDB. Basically there are two best friends or possibly brothers who move to a city and try and live there, but one becomes a soldier in the army and the other becomes a rebel. I think they both fall in love with the same girl too possibly but maybe not. The film ends with a fight between the main character (The rebel guy) and his friend in the middle of an army camp if I remember right. Also, all the army guys were wearing red and gold, and there was a loving million thousand of them watching the fight. Any help would be appreciated.

This has been bugging me for years. I can only recall one scene from the movie (and I'm about 90% certain that it was in fact a movie and not a TV show). The scene took place in a bedroom, and some sort of rocket slowly erupts through the floor of the bedroom, as though it was taking off. I'm not even sure of the tone in this scene; it could have been a light-hearted children's adventure type deal, or it could have been a scene from a cheesy B horror movie. Pretty vague, I know. Some context: I saw this as a child, so it was around the late 80's, early 90's. I have a strong feeling that the movie wasn't well known (as evinced by my lack of success with google), but it could be a scene from a popular movie that I just haven't seen in years. In which case, I'm an idiot. Either way, it would make me all kinds of happy if this rings a bell to anyone else.

I've got three descriptions, so hopefully at least one or all can get answered. I'd really appreciate it since these strange movie memories have haunted me for two decades. 1.) This one is something I watched late night on HBO when I was about eight, so this is at least from 1988 or before. The scene I watched goes something like this: an entire family is in a typical 1970s station wagon with wood paneling (like a green or mustard yellow Vista Cruiser or Country Squire). They somehow come to a stop on some railroad tracks when the car stalls. Cue a train horn off in the distance, and the dad frantically trying to start the car. What follows is a dramatic back and forth between the car and the screaming family until eventually, the train plows right into the 1970s land yacht. I remember this scene being incredibly gory with blood, body parts, and brain matter strewn about (although it all could have just been blood). I also want to say I remember the family was locked in the car by some means and couldn't escape because I seem to remember them banging on the windows with their fists while screaming. That's when I turned it off and went back to bed since that scene scared me back to sleep. I know for a fact I'm not mixing two movies together such as Eraser and Stand By Me because I remember it all too well. Hell, I remember I was even eating Cocoa Puffs, so I can remember that (!) but not the movie. 2.) This one is an animated short I remember seeing on Bravo Channel circa 1993 when Bravo showed shorts and mini-movies in between full movies and specials (god, remember when Bravo was awesome like this?). It involved a man having recurring nightmares. There were quite a few, each one ending with him waking up screaming, only to realize it was just a nightmare, and eventually going back to sleep to start the cycle again. One nightmare involved the ceiling dripping blood, eventually ripping open and filling the room with entrails. Another nightmare involved a knock at the door which turns out to be a pregnant girl and a cop, who busts out his handcuffs while the girl throws the man a poo poo-eating grin. Yet another nightmare was the man sucking on a giant breast which turns into a rat that hisses and tries to bite him. When he finally wakes up, he gets ready for work and proceeds to step outside. Outside, every sign of life is gone, and thinking he's in another nightmare, screams again. At this point, the camera pulls out to show that everybody and everything is stacked up behind a skyscraper Tetris-style, and I believe that was the end. There were quite a few more nightmares the dude had, but these I remember for some reason. Sweet Jebus, this sounds like a hallucination, but I know it's real. Some things of note: I want to place this as being made in the late 70s or very early 80s because there was a disco track playing throughout. I'm also sure this was Italian in origin because I think the credits were a bunch of Italian surnames. I'd love to see this one again, please. 3.) This is an incredibly vague description because this is reaching far back into my four year old memory. I was four in 1984, so this movie is from that year or before. The scene goes like this: a chimney sweep-looking man is on a carnival barker stage singing and dancing, and occasionally, a third leg would join his other two. I think he was wearing a long trench coat to hide said third leg, so it could have just been a trick of the eye. If it helps, I'm also sure this movie was both live action and animated, and this dancing man was the narrator. Help a brotha out, please.

Does anyone remember a movie from the '80s or '90s that seemed like a Cujo ripoff. It was a woman who owned a dog (possibly a saint bernard) and it was killing people I think? The only scene I remember is her boyfriend putting poison in the food for the dog... the dog notices and starts growling then kills him I think. Any help?

Decided to try again on the ones from earlier in the threadquote:It was a collection of shorts about sex. I talked to my sister and in the first short it is a claymation, satyr and nymph videotaping a couple having sex, and at one point the satyr blows up a condom and uses it as a balloon to float to a different area of the bedroom. quote:I cannot remember when, where, or why I saw this movie, but the premise was two kids younger brother older sister, are kinda troublemakers and move from school to school, possibly with single mother or just a distant dad. They end up living with a relative for some reason and learn to be better people. The only specific things i can remember are, one of them pretending to cut off there own finger at school and scaring their class mates, and at one point deciding to scare the curmudgeonly neighbor guy by having the girl hide in his tree dressed as a ghost, but it went wrong and he ends up thinking she was an angel and the branches got bent in such a way that their shadows looked like Jesus. quote:Genre: Romantic, possible comedy quote:This was a preview on a movie we watched a lot when I was younger. After remembering it was Robin Williams, I found it, The Best of Times quote:First one I think was a made for TV movie about a school reunion. I saw it mid to late '90s and all I can really remember is there is some plot device about the 'nerd' trying to flush a urinal with his foot and stepping in the urinal and then later successfully doing it. There may have been a sub-plot about a woman convincing this guy he got her pregnant and gets him to kidnap someone else's baby. Don't think it was very good but I kinda want to know what happened. If I remember right, at the end the nerdy guy successfully flushes the urinal with his foot, and the second guy is shown driving down the road, possibly crying, while looking at the baby he just kidnapped because he thinks it's his. quote:This is gonna sound odd, but when I was about 4 or 5, my parents rented a lot of documentaries from the local library. There was a lot of Nova films about brains, giving birth, etc. Anyway, one of the ones that was rented multiple times was one about how toilets are made and work. Only real specific parts I can remember are one scene where the have a cross section of a toilet and it shows red water in the bowl and blue water in the tank, and at the beginning you hear someone singing, "We're making a movie Charlie, you wanna be a star." If someone can find it so I can have a nice nostalgia trip, that would be awesome. Thanks for the ones y'all have found so far.

Arturo Ui posted:#2 is Incubus fenix, I'm sorry, man, but it's not Mary Poppins. I saw that movie quite a few times in my youth and don't remember 3-legged bits in it, either. I guess "chimney sweep" is the wrong way to describe the dancing man, so instead I'll say he looked haggard from what I can remember: that is a dusty and worn top hat of some sort, the long (turn of the century-looking) trench coat to hide his third leg, and I think he had a scraggly beard. Thanks anyway, fenix.

Is it possible you're thinking of some Monty Python skits? I'm pretty sure they did a three-legged bit at some point. That could also account for the live action/animated mixed memories.

I've got one from the 80's or maybe the early 90's. I can't remember the plot at all, except that it was either a horror movie or maybe a slasher/stalker film. It was definitely about a family in some type of peril. It was a mother and father, a teenage son, and possibly a teenage daughter as well. What I clearly remember is that the son's hobby was writing complaint letters to companies in order to recieve free poo poo, and early in the movie his parents tell him to stop doing it because it's dishonest. At the very end of the movie, the family is just emerging from their house after surviving a night of terror when a van pulls up and a huckster-type guy gets out and says he's a representitive of some company (I think they made soup or something) and he's there to offer them a lifetime supply of his product based one of the son's complaint letters. He also says something along the lines of "We're not sure how this happened. We checked everyone on the assembly line and they all still have all five fingers."

Doesn't sound like a slasher movie I ever saw. Sounds campy, more comedy then horror.

This is for a commercial, not a movie. I'm looking for the one (maybe fake, maybe not) where some guy in an office starts taking a stand against something and for some reason one of his female co-workers starts yelling "BABIES!" and making a hilarious face. Someone on the forums has a screen shot of this as their avatar and for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere.

Some kinda horror movie, where the bad guy was like a big brown slug kinda thing and he turned people into I dunno zombie things where they'd see in thermal vision and have a little worm poking out of their forehead and stuff. I also remember some kinda bat-wing monster part-way through the movie I saw it when I was like 5 so it's probably a mid-80s movie

I'm sorry if this one has already been asked, it's been bothering me for a while now in my hunt for all the lovely horror movies I've seen over the years to watch with a new friend. I remember: A socialite was abducted. She was taken to a basement, some horror stuff happened, there was another person or two down there whom she talked to. There may have been two brothers in the house, one of them may have been pretending to be a victim to have sex with her. I think I remember there having been a mirror or a window that messages were scratched into. I saw it in theaters a couple years ago, definitely between 2005-2008.

Here's one a posted a long time ago but no one got. A teen thriller sort of deal definitely from he mid eighties. A Bad Seed/Good Son/etc. type movie where one kid is very evil to those immediately around him but everyone else thinks he's a perfect angel. The one scene that stands out strongly to me is in a high school chemistry class. The evil kid and a victim are doing a lab assignment that involves SCIENCE beakers of boiling water/acid whatever. The evil kid twists the cord powering one of the burners around the victim's leg, so when the bell rings and the victim stands up the boiling acid gets splashed onto him. Another is this lovely horror movie from the late seventies. Had a pretty somber synth soundtrack and begins with a photographer going to the beach to take pictures of the scenery. He's seduced by a beautiful woman that is a member of a gang that comes out and basically beats him to pieces and immolates him. Years later his ghost gets revenge on dumb chumps. So very, very vague sorry.
