Weird comedy I saw on (i think) Comedy Central in the 90s. Aliens from I believe Mars will appear out of thin air or out of nowhere, like when the protagonist and his girlfriend are in bed together. They aren't threatening so much as really wacky. I don't think they had a lot of makeup or prosthetics, probably just skin coloring. At the end iirc the protagonist plays a song and makes them all disappear

A middle-aged or slightly older guy is having an argument with a woman at some kind of party or reception or function and is sorta agitated but keeping his voice level, up until he shouts PIG gently caress at her in the middle of a sentence. What movie is this? It was a recent one and a good one - maybe a documentary?

So my dad was a huge sci fi nerd in the 70's and 80's and I grew up watching every sci fi movie ever made. I remember watching this one very adult themed sci fi cartoon movie when I was way too young to be watching it. I don't know for sure that it was Anime, although I guess thats possible, but I kinda doubt it. I actually think it might have been European or something. No subtitles though, because I would have been way too young to read them. This definitely took place before 1990.

The one scene I remember was some chick in a space suit running around in a cave with her tits hanging out. Like literally the space suit was made with holes cut out in the chest specifically so tits could flop out in the open. The chick ran over to some kind of alien larva/grub looking thing, picked it up, and started nursing it.

This is when my mom walked into the room and saw what I was watching with my dad, and got mad at him for letting me watch it. The word "this is a hippy movie" was used by at least one of them.

The only other scene I vaguely remember was one where some humans were looking at a big alien worm type thing in the distance and one of the characters asks the other "does it hurt when you die?"


Holy Jesus, I was way too young to be watching this poo poo at the time :psyduck:

Possibly La Planete Sauvage, AKA Fantastic Planet. Definitely had the space suits with the cut-out boob section.

I have a question about a Hong Kong movie I saw on a bus in central China, about 4 years ago. I'm reasonably sure it's from Hong Kong because it looked like Hong Kong, and I'm reasonably sure it was shot in the late 1980's or early 90's, based on the film stock, fashion, and car designs. The version I saw was dubbed into Mandarin but subtitled in English. It reminded me of a Chinese Buckaroo Banzai, and I would really like to see it again. Unfortunately neither my wife nor any of my Chinese friends have seen the movie, though I am sure it was reasonably popular at the time of release.

It's about a man and a boy who live together in a really cool house, and they drive a van. I'm not sure what they do, but they sleep in the same room - the man has a big bed, the boy has a small one. The man dreams about a virgin in some sort of frozen wasteland. And then later in a rainstorm the virgin appears - his dreams are real! There is lots of kung-fu but it is the crouching tiger style wire rig ridiculous type kung-fu, and the whole thing takes place in a modern/future setting mixed with mystical/epic elements and environments.

At some point I fell asleep. When I woke up the protagonist was fighting a Beijing Opera style villain with giant sleeves that fired whirlwinds. I think he got sucked into the villain, at some point, and shot out the other sleeve.

Also the protagonist was able to throw his sword and then run on top of the sword while it was flying through the air. Very cool.

I really want to see this movie again - I can do some drawings if it would help me identify it. The effects style was all in-camera and very reminiscent of Wong Kar-Wai or Michel Gondry, though on a film stock that would date the movie at the very beginning of either director's career. There were definitely no computer effects, and it was very stylized and modern, not a period kung-fu movie, even though the story is likely based on Chinese legend.

Help?

There was an action movie I watched on TV like... 20 years ago, about a remote control that had power over every single electr(on?)ic device on Earth, and could disable anything by inputting the correct three-digit code. In the end, the protagonist is sick of everything and shuts down every single electric device on Earth, sending it to a new Stone Age. The code to disable everything was 666 :aaa:

I was a kid when I saw that movie, and even then I thought it was the stupidest thing ever.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


So I remember an ending from a kung fu film, but nothing else about it. The ending is this evil emperor guy giving a big speech, then a woman(I think) does a flip and cuts him in half, and the credits start before he's even done being cut in half. I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me figure out what movie that is. poo poo was almost definitely a Chinese production from the costumes. I think I mighta seen it on youtube?

Mine's a Kung Fu movie as well, and I also only remember the ending, the final fight to be precise. There's the two good guys and as one of them fights the villain, the other one is throwing sheets of paper with drawings of different techniques (I think animal-based like scorpion etc.) in sequence so they appear almost like an animation which the first guy is using as a guide to defeat his opponent.

I posted this in the thread a couple years ago and I don't think I ever got an answer. Does anyone know what movie this is? It's super low budget and has only two sets and two characters, and it's all dialogue.

I remember that the guy turns out to be a cop, but he's still serious about going through with it. The end has the police show up and they chicken out on their pact but go for suicide-by-cops instead.

A cheeseball SciFi disaster movie seen on UHF TV back in the '80s. I vaguely remember some scene where a bunch of scientists are in a room and one suggests setting off some atom bombs to do something, and someone else gets all angry and says "it will kill us all :byodood:" because of the atmosphere or something. I think it was in color, and was American, so probably not "The Day the Earth Caught Fire."

Here's a bunch of random poo poo that's been haunting me forever:

I remember my mom watching a movie about a guy who looked kind of like Burt Reynolds, back around 1994 or so. I think he was a writer or something. Most of the movie seemed like standard boring stuff (the kind of movie a mom would watch). In one of the scenes, however, the main character wakes up and there's a ghost floating in front of him that looks like the ghost of Christmas past from The Muppet Christmas Carol. It's holding a knife. The main character screams and then wakes up and realizes he was dreaming.

A 70's-80's horror film about a couple in a cabin in the woods and this thing that looked like a demon baby was attacking them. They're inside the cabin screaming and this thing is just going nuts outside and crying and screaming. At one point it jumps in through the window or something.

Unfortunately, that's about the best I can describe any of them after twenty years.

More recently, I saw a scene from a scary movie that looked like it was made in the early 2000's. Attractive girl is watching a security camera recording of her bedroom, in which while she's asleep this ghoul-looking thing crawls out from under her bed and rapes her. That was the only scene I saw and googling those keywords is just bad news.

There is a scene, possibly from an Italian film, where the main character (a detective maybe?) goes to meet a reclusive painter who lives in a sort of barn loft in the country. I remember cats being around I think, and the main guy possibly wanted to buy a painting but the artist didn't want to sell. Sound familiar to anyone?

This one's been bugging me.

Genre: Western? Animated Sci-fi Black Comedy R15+
Year: I watched it in the late 90's early 00's on TV late at night. Maybe it was made in the 80's or 70's?
Plot: The earth is a shithouse. Apocalypse is coming? Maybe the sun is gonna supernova? So the Father and the Son build a space seed ship to leave the solar system to a faraway planet. But there's only 2 Cryosleep chambers. They fill the ship with people and off they go. Millennia later when they reach the planet they wake up and find all the people on board have evolved into mutant creatures based on which part of the ship they were on. The Father and the Son have an argument about their plans for the planet and the Son is shot out of the ship in his Cryo chamber and is trapped underground. The timer wasn't set on the Cryosleep and only thing that will wake the Son up is a slowly forming stalactite dripping from the roof of the cave onto the red "STOP" button. Ages past and when the Son wakes up and emerges from his cave he finds primates roaming around. It seems the Father has started life again on this planet. So what does the Son do? He proceeds to have sex with a female ape. Job done he goes back into his Cryo chamber and sleeps for another couple million years. Wakes up and lo 'n behold there's some bizzaro humanoids building pyramids. What follows is the Son returning to his chamber and waking up in various places of this repetition of human history, while the Father is still on the seed ship filled with freaks orbiting the planet. I fall asleep and never catch the climax/ending.

I'm sure I did not dream this up, please confirm my sanity.

I'm trying to figure out the source of something I saw as a kid, it might have been a short or part of a feature film. It was a first-person viewpoint of someone in a gas mask carrying around something toxic and other people dying as he walked past. I think there was a scene where he enters an elevator and a couple people in business attire choke to death. Very vague and I might be misremembering, does anyone have a guess?

Someone mentioned "The Professional" last time I posted about this, I know it wasn't that.
