While discussing the Dune books with a friend they decided to describe the movie they thought was Dune. It was most definitely not Dune. Nevertheless I want to know if it exists or if it is just some kind of crazy fever dream. Here is my friends painfully full description of said film: "There is sand in it but no worms, they have areas of quicksand that pull people into them. There were two guys, one of them (an alien?) was pregnant (he'd reproduced by himself and explained to his friend that 'it happens sometimes.') The pregnant guy got caught in one of the quicksand pits and the other one had to pull him out. The alien was dying so the other guy ended up having to cut the kid out of him and raised it himself. The kids name may or may not have been Zummy or something like that." ... Yeah I know. I have my doubts to whether this is something that has actually been made but if anyone would know it would be the internet. Any ideas or do I need to find myself some saner friends?

A goon (I can't remember which) has an avatar showing a guy pushing a woman in a wheelchair down a hall at top speed, and at the end he stops short and she goes flying onto a bed. It's funny out of context, but could very well be horrifying in the film. Anyone know what it's from?

My dad and I were watching an old episode of T.J. Hooker earlier, and one of those character actors you see in everything was a suspect in a crime. Going from my dad's "Hey, that guy was in [X] movie!," here are the details: This guy played a P.O.W. during Vietnam, and the Vietcong was keeping him in dark isolation underground. I guess they were doing experiments on him because they would only feed him raw meat and nothing else. Eventually, the guy turns into some monster like a werewolf or some carnivorous creature from eating nothing but the meat. Sorry, but that's all my dad remembers. I don't even know the actor's name, but maybe this will stir some memories. Of note, Hooker was on in the early 80s, so this movie had to have been from that time or maybe a few years earlier.

That's from forum member ease Sizzlechest was right when he said it was from Curb Your Enthusiasm. It's from the episode "Denise Handicap" where he tries to have sex with a wheelchair-bound woman. It's extremely funny and awkward.

Sir Nose posted:Cannibal Apocalypse? Wow, that might be it. John Saxon looks like the guy from T.J. Hooker, even though there's no mention of him being a guest on the show, but maybe my dad is mixing him up with the Hooker guy since Saxon's pretty much been in everything, too. Thanks!

One scene: medieval setting; a scruffy fellow, presumably the protagonist, is traveling in a caravan when they are attacked; the lead attacker is a sort of Black Knight character, and his sword swings are knocking people through the air; the presumable protagonist succeeds in cutting of the Black Knight's arm; there is a tattoo, of a wolf head or something on the hand of the severed arm Scene slightly later: the presumable protagonist is now carrying around the sword of the Black Knight and, when the caravan gets to town, this appears to alarm the local military type folks (This was all in Spanish, so I don't really know what was going on. I am pretty sure it was dubbed, though.)

This was most likely from the early-mid 80's and the part I can remember involves a black car with some kind of female hostage who is trying to escape from said car out of the sunroof (I think) while another car is pursuing the car trying to rescue the girl. I am almost certain the car drove off of a cliff several times, exploded, and came back like nothing happened. Maybe the car was some kind of demon as well.

When I was a wee lad I think I remember seeing a horror movie box cover with people that looked just like those coneheads from the coneheads movie but with scary faces and really sharp teeth. Does anyone know if any horror movies like this exists? Also in the same vein there is this one episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog where he meets some restaurant owner who is suspected of cutting up his own customers. What is the horror movie this is spoofed off because I think I saw that cover too. 90's horror movies had the coolest cassette box covers.

Friend wrote this, you guys know everything. Help him: "Basically 2 sisters are in their house, one blond and one brunette. The blond is a ditz and the brunette keeps trying to tell her that everyone is gone. To prove it, she goes outside and there are bunch of clothes and shoes in the street with basically only sand in them. They go back inside and hear a DJ come on the radio. Thinking it's a live person, they drive to the radio station to talk to him. There they find out the DJ is a machine, but there's this dude with a hand gun who makes them come out into the light before putting away his gun. He says he's a trucker and upon coming into town encountered some zombie like creatures who snatched the girl he was with and also ate a raw cat." EDIT: Figured out it was Night of the Comet.

Don't remember much about this movie except the opening scene. Soccer match, and for some reason they need to substitute someone for one of the players, so they break the player's arm. I think they did that so that substitute could infiltrate the government or something, which makes no sense but that's how I remember it. e: I think it's from the early 80s Thanks! regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Oct 18, 2010 |

There was a movie I saw on Showtime or HBO a while ago, and I never got the name of it. It's from the 70s or 80s. What I remember from it was, a car of 4 or 5 breaks down near a roadside Wax Museum. The owner ends up killing them 1 by 1. Eventually, the main girl finds a back room where she finds the owner's wife or something, I think she is still alive. Stuff happens, and she escapes, and the last shot of the movie is her driving away with either a wax version of the wife, or of herself or something. I don't think it is the original version of House of Wax, because I don't think Vincent Price was the owner.

I saw it at least 10-15 ago because Stephen King spooged over it in Danse Macabre, so the details are fuzzy, but you might want to check out Tourist Trap. IIRC it was the owner's brother and not his wife that they find, but it's a 70's horror flick that takes place in a wax museum and your description doesn't sound like either of the House of Wax flicks or Waxwork, so it may be it.

Yep, pretty sure that's it. I vaguely remember the name now, and the plot description match up on imdb.

He's all rejoicing in his awesomeness when someone stabs the peasant, killing him.

This might be from a TV show but I'm looking for something with a scene where a homeless guy runs up to a nicer car and offers to clean the windows, and then goes ahead and does it anyway, smearing crap all over the windshield. Too vague? Sorry, it's all I got.

I feel like it was from a lighthearted comedy, and the guy driving the car is an uptight white dude who tries to stop the homeless guy from doing it. But I could be wrong! I don't think I've seen Street Trash before, but it looks like fun.

A horror movie where monsters live on the other side of mirrors or closets or something. The ending involves A girl being trapped on the other side surrounded by monsters, banging on the wall trying to get a nurse's attention but she can't see her. This is infuriating me.

Does anyone remember a movie when a girl goes to prom, her mom makes her wear a dress from the Salvation Army. This popular girl at prom recognizes the dress as her own that her little brother had spilled a spot of ink on. The girl wearing the dress now has put a flower on it to hide it. The popular girl rips it off.

I think this is a part from Tokyo Godfathers (I didn't see a name that show thread in ADTRW...). This girl has a run in with this waiter guy who tries to kill a mob boss or politician or something, then hides out in his tiny apartment with his wife who I think was breastfeeding her baby at the time? If it is Tokyo Godfathers I got it from netflix so I can't doublecheck. Just one of those scenes I can't remember the source and its bugging me.
