In a way, they do this in Kung Pow where Master Tang goes through his options during a freeze frame and chooses... poorly.

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.

That sounds like a classic William Castle gimmick, so I looked up William Castle and it looks like it’s Mr Sardonicus

In the late 80s/early 90s, there was an interesting European TV movie concept. It was wo versions of the same story, one from the pov of a male character, the other female. It was broadcast simultaneously across two different channels, and you could switch between them to be your own editor.

Most likely Mörderische Entscheidung from 1991 on German TV. I remember the concept being a big deal at the time and people were anticipating it. I never even thought of it since then until you triggered the memory :v:

e: they did broadcast it in other countries the same way, it looks like.

Trying to remember an action/martial arts (though most probably a Ninja film) where the Ninja protagonist is tied up and escapes by breaking a light bulb, and retrieves a piece of glass and uses it to cut through his rope.

It was years probably decades ago but all I remember is that these 3 women got revenge on a rapist by surgically castrating him and they kidnapped him and he woke up in like a bowling alley or something then went to pee and freaked out. It was not pornographic.

I don't know if this is what the movie was about in its entirety but I have this vague recollection of a film where a woman is hired on a construction site and keeps getting harassed at the workplace for being a woman. I think it was a serious film, and I only really remember there being a scene where she's in a porta-potty and they're messing with it somehow, possibly rocking it or threatening to tip it. None of my searches are pulling anything up. I think I saw this on an imdb page or maybe I caught some of it on TV? It would have been around 2010 that I heard about it but I think the movie's older than that.

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.

A video game, but in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Herlock Sholmes (who IS just Sherlock Holmes in the original Japanese) is this, and there's a whole minigame centered around fixing his deductions. It's brilliant :allears:

I think this was a movie or a show, but I can't see any faces or visual parts in my mind, I just remember the story.

This scene was a flashback (I think remembered by the main character, who was a child at this part) that explained the night their mother left the family. The parents had been having some issues and there was infidelity (or at least suspected) on the part of the mom. The family was on vacation or on some kind of road trip and stopped somewhere (restaurant? hotel?) There was a fight, I think, and the mom vanished. The father came to believe the mother had arranged to meet her lover at that place and left with him.

We find out later the mom had actually gone for a walk and accidentally fallen off a cliff.

ETA: possibly a murder mystery? Like maybe the whole story started with someone finding the mom's remains. I'm way less sure about that, tho.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier; that certainly looks like it. I saw it in German, but for some reason I thought it was originally French or from the Benelux.

this is killing me

Character says "simple as" for a statement closer. Like "X=Y. Simple as" and i cant recall if it's a new movie (unlikely since I tend not to watch a lot repeatedly) or a clip from a older movie i watched on yt

im inclined to say the latter and if I were a betting man i'd say character was black (I picture someone like Lawrence Fishburne)

I'm looking for a particular scene where a man is standing in front of a cross or a cemetery tombstone and he hears a voice that compels him to start smashing his own hand. It may have been a Masters of Horror episode or a Jack Ketchum movie. It's probably at least ten years old.

Zoolander has the hand model in a cemetery scene. Not sure if he smashes it, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

80s/early 90s martial arts action movie? It wasn't Van Damme i don't think but a knockoff actor like him. He is beating up dudes in a house(?) and winds up in one room where there's a dude whose like a masochist/cuckold and the guy grabs his leg and goes "hit me! hit me!"

something like the Kickboxer movies?

Here's what I remember:
- Can't remember if it's animated or not
- Big red leaf hits woman in face, this is how she meets her husband (or maybe vice versa)
- Maybe something about pulling them out of the way of a car?
- They turn out to be parents of the main character
- Main character keeps leaf in a journal/book
- At the end, they're trying to stop a [curse? spell?] and she gives up the leaf, maybe burning it

Edit: solved elsewhere, it was not a movie and not animated! It is an episode of Doctor Who
