Snowglobe of Doom posted:The Running Man had a classic explosive collar/desert prison scene: That must be the scene that I'm thinking of. And these must be two seperate movies. The other movie had small slicing (creatures? machines?) things in the sand that chased people and cut off peoples legs on and off-camera, whilst they were running for the safety of a house or standing still. I think they may have flown through the air short distances too. I remember it being quite gruesome at the time I saw it (late 90's). It was also in a desert, as there was sand everywhere that the creatures moved through.

Roeben posted:This might be a hard one. Prison in the desert with explosive collars sounds like Fortress, with Christopher Lambert. Note that they didn't actually have collars, but something in their stomach. Yellow lines around the complex caused pain, red one exploded or something, been a while since I saw it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106950/

Definately not tremors. These creatures were man sized or smaller. I remember it being low budget as hell, the "creatures" were metallic colored I think, and you often just saw them sliding through the sand as if someone was pulling something through it with a string.

I can't remember if it was from a movie or a tv show, but the main character lived in an apartment complex and one of his neighbors was a former or current member of the Bloods with a young daughter and refused to say any word with the letter c in it b/c he hated the Crips so much. All I remember is a line where his daughter whines that she wants to watch Care Bears, and he corrects her saying 'what'd we say? We call it 'Bare Bears''. The line/what it's from is driving me nuts. I tried tossing it into a google search, but the only thing that comes up is some cartoon called 'We Bare Bears'. Any idea?

80s low budget sci-fi fantasy dystopia. It's one of those Conan the Barbarian set in the post apocalypse deals, but I remember it ending with full color footage of a mushroom cloud for some reason. It may have been featured on MST3K.

Ape Agitator posted:I think he's a fine writer in that several of my favorite 80s comedies have him among the writing teams. Spies Like Us, GB, Coneheads,Dragnet. It's entirely possible it's just crediting him for script tweaks but if he was in the writers room in a fan of his writing work. You don't get credit unless you or your writing team wrote a significant amount of material (compared to the final draft). Or if you wrote the original draft. Little tweaks normally aren't enough for credit.

Amazingly enough, I saw that poo poo in a theater. The girl at the ticket window told my mom that she should take me and my brother to Yor instead of Wargames because Wargames looked boring. I am an old person.

Theater near me has an annual horror marathon but usually trickles out the lineup over a few months. Any guesses as to the stuff mentioned in the first paragraph?quote:Join us for this year's incarnation of the MUSIC BOX OF HORRORS as we swiftly descend into madness through the exploits of zombified police run-ins and adolescent lycanthropy, dizzying dives into the wicked seductions of the occult, uber-degradation of the otherwise-sane mind-scape, nunsploitation in a water-locked covenant, and oh-so much more. zombified police run-ins: ? adolescent lycanthropy: guessing Ginger Snaps or sequels dizzying dives into the wicked seductions of the occult: could be anything uber-degradation of the otherwise-sane mind-scape: probably ITMOM nunsploitation in a water-locked covenant: ?

Zombified police run-ins could be Dead Heat, one of the Maniac Cops, or Return of the Living Dead.

There's a zombie/cop fight in Tales From The Hood too, it might be that one since they also list it in the next paragraph.

What's the name of the movie where there's some kind of throne room on a spaceship of some kind and there's a ton of glass walls and they get shattered? It's definitely in space but it doesn't look like a spaceship inside. I guess it's like the end of Return of the Jedi but it's really not that, the room is much more open and also the glass is shattered by something! For some reason I thought it was Lifeforce but it's really not that.

Was it animated? Project A-ko does that. Which of course means they probably lifted it from something else too.Akuma posted:What's the name of the movie where there's some kind of throne room on a spaceship of some kind and there's a ton of glass walls and they get shattered?

Thanks guys! It's not any of those, though. It's definitely live action, some kind of very sparse throne room with glass walls but it's definitely in space, and I remember space commando types storming the room by smashing the glass which seemed dumb because I don't remember the air being sucked out. It felt very low budget!

Yeah that's the scene in Starcrash where one empire fires torpedos at another empire's ship and the torpedos break the glass of the bridge and instead of exploding they open up and a bunch of troops pop out and begin firing.

ynohtna posted:Starcrash (1979)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJX5O0zDYoU At about 1hr 16mins. Thank you! Seems like I conflated the throne roomy place, which also had a lot of glass, with wherever that is where they come crashing through and nobody gets sucked out into space. At least I think they're not the same room, I just skimmed through the whole movie to find it.

Starcrash loving rules, it's the cheap Italian knockoff of Star Wars from the same man who directed Contamination, a cheap Italian knockoff of Alien.
