Robocop 3: After the failure of the Robocop program, OCP is on the verge of bankruptcy after a series of failed business plans and drop of stocks, and are now struggling with their plans to create the new Delta City. To speed up the process, OCP creates an armed force called the Urban Rehabilitators, nicknamed "Rehabs," under the command of Paul McDaggett (John Castle). Ostensibly its purpose is to combat rising crime in Old Detroit, augmenting the ranks of the Detroit Police Department in apprehending violent criminals. In reality, it has been set up to forcibly relocate the residents of Cadillac Heights. Escape from the Bronx: The General Construction (GC) Corporation, led by President Clark (Enio Girolami), wish to tear down the Bronx to turn it into “the city of the future”. To do this they need to clear the current population from the area and have employed expelled prison warden Floyd Wangler (Henry Silva) and a private squad of Disinfestors to burn, shoot and gas those that will not leave willingly. It's almost the same movie.

The IMDB page for Batman v Superman includes these entries under "other crew":IMDB posted:Sanam Afrashteh ... voice dubbing: Gal Gadot (uncredited) Do they really have someone else dubbing over the stars of the picture some of the time? I'm assuming this isn't for foreign-language versions, since presumably it would say, and it doesn't even include all the main cast. Related to which, I've found it difficult to track down the voice actors used for movie dubs (e.g., the Spanish-language version of Batman v Superman that HBO broadcasts). How much consistency is there between movies for the same character? Obviously this is paid attention to with regards to stuff that's animated, Mark Hamill as the Joker and all that, but do they maintain consistency in who provides the voice for a character when creating secondary-language dubs for a franchise?

What are some movies where characters have to evade room-traps? It's not a good movie, but I think this scene in Resident Evil is enjoyable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8gfGhVL3qs Some that come to mind are the Cube movies, Charlie's Angels, Entrapment, Dungeons & Dragons, the Saw movies, etc., It'd be better if it was actually a good movie as well.

Could anyone give suggestions of films made like Atomic Cafe or June 17th, 1994? By that I mean films that tell a story using news footage, films, music etc but with no narrator or talking head interviews. I'm not very good at explaining it.

One of the guys who did The Atomic Café also did a cool one called Feed that's all made up of news feed footage surrounding the 1992 Presidental Election. Kinda obscure but worth tracking down.

The Wachowskis hired a manga artist to help them storyboard the fight scenes in The Matrix and from what I've seen a good chunk of it is screen accurate, beyond that it probably varies quite a bit from director to director, and also actor to actor because some people are dumb as hell and/or can't explain for poo poo.

Are there any movies that surprise or shock the audience by subverting conventional film language? To explain what I mean here's an example taken from my imagination: Two people are sitting in a restaurant having a conversation. The formalities of the scene - the music, the compositions, etc - all suggest that it's a standard two-shot over-the-shoulder dialogue scene wherein two people are simply relaying exposition to each other and to the audience. But out of absolutely nowhere a gunman appears and shoots one of them. The film gave no hints or foreshadowing, via musical cues, setup shots or any other film technique, that this was about to happen. I don't think I've ever seen a movie that does this. It seems that filmmakers feel obligated to telegraph what's about to happen. Or at least that something is about to happen. Especially in horror movies. You can always tell when the purpose of a scene is for narrative exposition and when the purpose is to get down to business. The chatty car ride to the cabin? That's to get to know the characters. The scene with a couple getting naked in the dark lake? That's when someone's going to die. I'd love to see a movie that turns this on its head.

And I suppose spoof movies are built on the concept of altering the tone of a scene for comedic effect. I guess what I'm after is a film that applies this idea of screwing with the conventions of film form/language for the purpose of shock or horror.

Depends if you want the film to keep it up the whole time because if the movie kept doing it could it stay coherent or keep the audience engaged? Otherwise there are lots of times that a movie will do it once or twice. Like that restaurant shooting scene (which honestly to me still sounds funny before it sounds shocking), could be an early scene in a movie to establish the brazen and random nature of the gunman's attacks: nowhere is safe! Not sure why this example sticks out in my mind but Die Hard With a Vengeance has an opening scene that fits. Shots across New York of the city waking up, the hustle and bustle, traffic, "Summer in the City" playing to keep you jazzed and then--- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLjzPwm4mUI

I would think, if done well and sparingly, a movie like this could create a hell of a lot of tension by keeping it up. The audience would be on their guard even through the most seemingly mundane scene. Lobok posted:Otherwise there are lots of times that a movie will do it once or twice. Like that restaurant shooting scene (which honestly to me still sounds funny before it sounds shocking), could be an early scene in a movie to establish the brazen and random nature of the gunman's attacks: nowhere is safe! This is kinda there. But I'd say even here it falls within the boundaries of expectations to a degree. It's fairly common for an action movie to begin with an initial disaster that sets the plot in motion. Imagine instead if this happens halfway through a Nicolas Sparks adaptation. Eh, okay that might be pretty hilarious. I dunno.

Not sure if this is what you're after, but the car crash scenes in Enter the Void are incredibly jarring and shocking. Even in a movie that goes out of it's way to shock the viewer, those scenes really stood out.

Cage posted:I'm sure you've seen it, but what about Marvin in Pulp Fiction? That any closer to what you're looking for? This is the scene that popped into my head when I saw the question, but I have a nagging feeling that I've seen a few better ones - i.e. ones where a happy and normal scene is suddenly flipped on its head without any foreshadowing at all. However I'm the literal worst at recalling this kind of thing.

Only thing is it's definitely meant to illicit laughs, which it definitely does. But I think the humor comes more from the characters' immediate reactions than from the shock itself. edit: I would also argue that the offbeat tone of the film kinda set this up to an extent.
