Looking for two movies that use the same character gimmick, possibly based off some other work of fiction. Both are probably 80's or 90's movies. Both have a support character that wears a stone boot, because without it they walk/run too fast. One is animated, the other is live action.

I never watched it, but it sounds like Harrison Bergeron might fit the bill.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is your live action, maybe?

This one has a guy who has to hop on one leg or he will run too fast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fool_of_the_World_and_the_Flying_Ship If memory serves Askeladden og de gode hjelperne had a guy with chains on his foot to keep from running too fast. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054638/

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Eric Idle had iron balls chained to his legs to stop him running too fast in that I'm pretty sure this is the live action I was looking for, thanks. I am ashamed that I forgot Eric Idle played the part, or I would have made the connection sooner. A Maze of Clouds posted:This one has a guy who has to hop on one leg or he will run too fast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fool_of_the_World_and_the_Flying_Ship Neither of these are it. It was not a claymation or puppetry kind of animation, just a regular drawn one, or maybe an anime. Though I was wrong about the live action having a stone boot, I am much more certain the animated movie I am thinking of had a stone boot. It's quite literally the only thing I can recall about it.

Since that seems very close to what is remembered and the episode has a Spielberg writing credit, it could be a case of reusing a script, or memory playing its tricks with regard to eg. the black-and-white coloring.

I feel like some movie or TV show must’ve had a character do the Sherlock Holmes thing where they deduce another character’s whole backstory on first sight based on tiny visual cues, only to eat poo poo and get every part wrong.

I recall seeing a movie as a child (90's) about Sherlock Holmes, where he was actually an idiot and Watson was the real brain of the operation. But then something happened to Watson and he got kidnapped (maybe?) and Sherlock had to find him, and he just lucked the gently caress out because all his conclusions about the clues Watson left for him were completely wrong.

It’s also hilariously the punchline of a Deep Space 9 episode. Keiko is absolutely convinced that Miles didn’t die in an accident and has been kidnapped. Her evidence is that the footage shows Miles drinking coffee isn’t he afternoon. Won’t shut up about the fact that he’d never do that. Turns out, she’s right. He has been kidnapped. Gets rescued and comes back home and sits down for a cup of afternoon coffee. (Yes yes there is trauma in not wanting to believe your spouse died in an accident but also Keiko 100% doesn’t know poo poo about Miles)

Edit: If you haven't seen Sherlock, the stuff in the beginning is near verbatim from the show. Like how a smartphone is a "young mans gadget"  .

Terry Pratchett does a skit on it too in one of his books. Vimes is thinking about evidence in general, and how you can't tell anything from how a person looks. Like you could be a rich bloke painting his house, and so would be dressed up in ragged dirt covered clothing. It was an obvious jab at Sherlock Holmes.

Late 50s-60s era color Japanese musical film about how much work and being a salary man sucks. The two parts I remember is a musical number where all the drunk salary men dance in a construction area after coming out of the bars and a song sung by a woman at a company called "In America" (アメリカでは) Despite the very specific info I'm having trouble finding it so if anyone knows and has a YouTube link to either I'd be much obliged Of course I tried one last thing and figured it out right after posting: Kimi mo shusse ga dekiru (1964) hallo spacedog fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jun 17, 2023 |

I have a vague memory of a movie (or maybe even TV episode) where a crappy director is shouting that the next scene needs to be done as a 'oner.' Does this ring bells for anyone? i dont think i'm thinking of one cut of the dead, since my memory of it is in English trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jun 18, 2023 |

In the 80s there was a movie on the Disney Channel, which means it was probably a Canadian TV movie, about troubled teens stealing a van to escape a boarding school and go on a road trip. In the ad, one of the kids is counting roadkill and says, "that's the third dead dog today." The tone felt sad and mature.

I remember reading about an old choose-your-own-adventure movie from the 60's or 70's, where they only filmed one outcome and just told everyone that this was what the majority had chosen. People would hold up signs with their choice in the theater, and the screen would say something like "you chose option A!" and then continue showing the movie. Since this was a garbage b-movie, no one watched it more than once anyway. I think Roger Ebert wrote about it, but I can't remember the title. Edit: The closest thing I can find is Kinoautomat, in which the ending was fixed, but there was genuine interactivity during the movie. I distinctly remember this being an American b-movie, though.
