A movie probably from the 90s involving two characters that were like urban legends/serial killers who don't know each other. One dude dressed like a white collar businessman with a briefcase, in which he hid a hatchet and a role of duct tape. To get into his "killing mode" he would grab the hatchet, then wrap duct tape around it over and over so he wouldn't be able to drop it. I think he was referred to as "The Hatchet Man" but every time I google that I just get ICP related results. The other serial killer/urban legend is less clear in my memory, but I think he used knives. Most details are fuzzy, but in the end these two men wind up facing off with each other.

That would be The Nature of the Beast, directed by good ol' Victor Salva.

Black Gold!

Just a scene from a movie:

Two people are about to battle. Someone else is striking a giant gong elsewhere, and each time the gong strikes, the camera switches from one person to the other as giant flames surround them, giving both of them only a glimpse of each other's face as the flame's light dances across their faces in each camera shot.

I wanna say it's The Mummy Returns, but I don't remember a gong in it.

Success!




I was so close! Thanks my man. I was telling my boyfriend it was a fun flick, but I was stumped on what it was actually called. The one thing I remembered most was an issue with the subtitles, and I was wondering why Pink Floyd was constantly being brought up at random. Got to the end credits and it turned out whoever did the subs hosed up, since one character was named 'Pinfloy'

Does anybody know of a movie where Phil Connors and his wife Rita (not played by Murray or McDowell) show up near the end to give the main character some lesson about love that convinces him to go after the love of his life? This may have occurred on a plane or in an airport. I swear I've seen this scene but have no clue what the movie was now.

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.
Some 1980s barbarian fantasy movie where a couple of dudes are fighting a dragon. The dragon is perched above them or something and they are stabbing it over and over with their swords and getting drenched in blood. It's possible one or both of the guys might have been in the dragon and stabbing their way out. Also, not 100% sure it was a dragon, but it was some sort of big medieval fantasy beast.

Do animated shorts count?

I remember watching one about a crew of various alien personalities cowering from invaders aboard a ship. One of the crew members is a short mascot type character named (I think) Pickles, or something along those lines, and he gets progressively sicker as the crew moves through the ship. An alien woman emerges out of his body, and the captain says something to effect that he just went through puberty. This was somehow seen on Cartoon Network sometime during the late 90s or early 2000s, which is bizarre given how risqué it was.

Does anyone else remember this, or is this a half-remembered fever dream?

I saw a movie maybe 20 or more years ago on tv in the UK that all I can remember is it starting with a group of robbers holding up a large dinner party/swanky event and the thing that stuck in my teenage mind was they made all the victims strip naked. That’s all the info I have though :confused:

Not by an old, white guy, but Nicole Kidman has a very similar line with a very similar meter in Eyes Wide Shut. "You are very... VERY... sure of yourself, AREN'T you?"

I guess it's probably not but you haven't had any other suggestions so worth a shout, I guess

I don't even know if I've seen this movie, I think this quote is from the trailer.

"There is no murderer because THERE IS NO MURDER" and they really scream murder at the end, and it almost sounds like Steve Carell in my head but that's probably wrong.

I'm wondering if it's one of the "someone thought they saw a murder like Disturbia, Mute Witness, the Burbs, or something else.

Might be Surrender with Michael Caine and Sally Field, from 1987. That one had been bugging me for years too until I managed to find it somehow.

Think that may well be it, I remember it as more serious than a comedy but to be honest I was a kid who was just interested at the prospect of mass nudity. Thanks for solving the mystery! :)

there's a line like this in Sisters (1973) ("There was no body because there was no murder") and it's yelled.

I saw a movie on TV I think in the 90s, I want to say it looked like an older James Bond movie, but I've seen most of them and I don't think it's one of those, at the very least it has that 50s-60s film look. In the scene I'm thinking of, a woman is doing a striptease on a stage, goes from sparkling gown to bikini, then she brings out a screen and continues to strip, then a guy comes from the side and shoots her.

Thanks, I scanned through this on youtube, I don't think that's it. The way I remember it is it's a static shot in front of the woman on the stage as she's dancing/stripping, and I want to say the curtain/stage she's on is mostly blue? Could just be some memory BS.

This popped up on HBO sometime between 1987 and `92. I hit up google to see what came up, but none of the flicks that came up seemed to be it, unless I was just completely hallucinating. Also, I only watched whatever this was for like twenty seconds, long enough to remember this shot.

It's clearly some sort of horror movie, unless I miss my guess completely, involving an evil ventriloquist's dummy, but in this shot, the dummy has been hog-tied, gagged, and hung from a noose in a closet. I believe it was going "mmmmmf!" with the gag in its mouth. Horror isn't generally my genre, so if this is some sort of all-time classic that I haven't seen, I can only shrug apologetically.

for some reason I'm thinking this might be a "Tales from the Crypt", but the ventriloquist dummy episode I remember didn't have this part...

Two movies I saw when I was a kid, placing them somewhere from the 70's to the early 80's, I have a vivid imagination, so some of this poo poo may be wrong or made up.

The first was a cartoon movie about a young elephant that maybe gets orphaned, there was maybe an evil vizier-type dude as the villain who gets his comeuppance at the end, and it seemed to last about 4 hours, and seemed to have fairly ornate drawings.

The second, another animated movie, but with marionettes, like a Thunderbirds/Joe 90 thing, except the lead guy fell in love with a robot girl marionette, and at the end they were in a boat on the ocean and discovered he was a robot too.

Sorry, don't know if your scene is in it. I think I saw part of it on tv years ago and remember absolutely nothing about it except it was boring. But the trailer was memorable, freaked me out when I was a kid; that's how I remembered the name of the movie:
