You're the enslaved servant to a wizard in KQ3, while in KQ5, you defeat that wizard's wizard brother by a similar shapeshifting duel. Knowing Roberta Williams, it's quite possible both scenarios where inspired by the movie the OP is looking for.

I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about. It might have been the pilot to a TV show that never got made. If it's the same, one more detail is that everyone had a crystal of a certain color to determine how contaminated/mutated(?) they were. The half-mutant's was black.

Custard Undies posted:First on I'm not sure if it was set in ww2 or Vietnam. The scene I remember the most was a platoon walking thru a field and one of them steps on a land mine so they all start crawling thru the field using their knives to feel for any other mines. I e if the soldiers finds one and I think marks it with a stick so the others can crawl around it. Kelly's Heroes has a mine field scene exactly like that.

I'm not sure if it was an erotic thriller, but now I remember a scene from some mid-90s TV movie that had a send-up of Basic Instinct, where the femme fatale reassured a bunch of interrogating detectives that, yes, she was wearing underwear, and then proceeded to deduce what kind of underwear each of them was wearing.

A long time ago, I caught a few snippets of a Hammer-ish gothic horror film from the 60s or 70s. I mainly remember two blond siblings, boy and girl, who may or may not have been murderous and/or satanic. I'm not sure if they were children or young adults. The setting was an English country manor or similar. I seem to recall a stone bird bath in the garden. Maybe a murder with bow and arrow?

The_Doctor posted:Sounds like one of the many Turn of the Screw adaptations. Maybe The Innocents? Was it black and white? It might have been black and white. But from the trailer of The Innocents, that's not it. The pair was definitely older, at least late teens, and they were definitely both blond. Maybe Turn of the Screw was an inspiration, but I was getting more occultist vibes, less ghost story. I do think the man/boy was an archer. Maybe he shot a bird at some point? Hmm, is there a bow and arrow used in the original Midwich Cuckoos? I've only seen the Carpenter remake.

I did some more googling and found it. There are a couple of children in in too, which maybe explains my uncertainty about the age, but the pair I was thinking of turned out to be Sharon Tate and David Hemmings. I'm looking forward to watching it now, if this scene is an example. https://youtu.be/5r1bdhr6qRo Eye of the Devil, with David Niven, Deborah Kerr and Donald Pleasance.

Origami Dali posted:I got one that I'm not sure is real. A scene flashed into my head a couple of days ago where someone is fighting or talking about fighting someone. Could be a physical fight or gunfight. The person is narrating in some way, talking about their opponent. They're observing "he's skilled and fast, dangerous, but overeager. Sloppy. Too excited and not thinking. Wait for your moment" and then the narrator wins because of their patience and calm. I may be confusing it with the scene in Unforgiven when Gene Hackman talks about what makes a good gunmam (which then plays out in the finale). I was also reminded of that bit in Sin City where Bruce Willis gets clipped and says something like "you idiot, there I go charging in like Galahad like I told myself I wouldn't". But for some reason I keep thinking it's something else. Not sure if it's also in one of the movies, but your description reminded me a lot of Garth Ennis' writing in Punisher. I'm sure there's a scene like that in the comics.

Sweet_Joke_Nectar posted:2) This one is probably going to be tough. It was on TV but could have been a TV movie (I honestly don't know), it aired sometime between 1993-1999. It was a suspense or horror or sci-fi, there was a woman in it, and at the very end of the movie right before the credits roll, her face disappears or melts off to reveal either a monster or cyborg underneath. Absolutely terrified me as a child, I saw the last ten minutes of it once in my life and I still think about it. I believe the face was either yellow or metallic. Deadly Friend. https://youtu.be/oH-QDiwJd4M

I haven't seen it myself since I was a kid, and I remember being confused by the ending, because it made no sense at all, but it sure was memorable. Looking it up on youtube, it definitely is an effectively creepy and nightmarish scene.

Lemon Popsicle was a huge franchise in Europe, Germany, at least, for whichever reason. I do have an unidentified 80s sex comedy, if anyone wants to out themselves in being versed in that genre: Two groups of horny male teenagers are in a competition who can score with a certain girl, and both attempt to cheat: one record her moans from an aerobics(?) workout and try to pass it off as sex noises, the other splices together photographs of her apartment window, one where one of their group is in it, with another where she is naked. Mid-eighties, and a summer beach resort/hotel setting, I believe. It might not necessarily have been an English language film. Screwballs 2: Loose Screws sounds somewhat similar and would fit the period, in case anyone has seen it and can confirm or deny.

This is just a snippet since I only saw the end or part of the movie, and that was ages ago. Mid- to late eighties, but I saw it on TV so the film could've been older still. It had a feel of older live-action Disney movies. Protagonists were a boy and a girl, maybe siblings. They were on a lakeside, and there was a sort of swamp-thing, seaweed covered creature. Only it took off its face, and it was actually their grandfather, or kindly older friend. Then they laughed together. Maybe the fake creature had somehow scared away the films antagonists?

It's probably not it, but John Hyams Alone from 2020 has a woman being car stalked by a serial killer in the first half. I believe it's a remake of some Scandinavian thriller. Not the most original movie I've ever seen, but especially that first half is pretty tense. Hannibal Rex fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Apr 8, 2022 |

Pilchenstein posted:Old war movie that I caught the end of on TNT a while ago, think it might have been about the Kurdish rebellion - a militia gets chased up a mountain by an army and are heroically holding them at bay until planes come and bomb them all. It was in colour and felt like it might have been made in the 50s or so? Probably not it, as it's from the 80s, but the 40 days of Musa Dagh? I also seem to remember a scene like that in For Whom the Bell Tolls, but I've never seen the movie adaption.

soylent_green posted:Looking for an old black and white film that I believe was broadcast on "Horror Incorporated" in the Twin Cities in the mid to late 70's. The only scene I can remember is in the basement, or dungeon, of a castle. The camera is watching a character who is lurking around the stone support posts, watching a woman in an old-style bathtub (think brass or half barrel) who is either washing or shaving her legs. The creepy voyeur moves silently around (and the camera follows), watching her. Well, the first thing that came to mind is Sharon Tate spending a lot of time in various bathtubs in The Fearless Vampire Killers, but that's not in black and white and probably too easy, right?

I'm looking for a film that I only caught the ending of, ages ago. 70s or 80s, about the CIA or a similar sinister government agency using/brainwashing telekinetic or clairvoyant people to perform assassinations, I think. The finale involved the protagonist to unleash his powers in the agency's high tech facility. I used to think it was The Fury, but I just watched that and it doesn’t match. It's not Scanners or Firestarter either. The main antagonist was a well known actor, though apparently not Kirk Douglas, like I thought. Other names that came to my mind for the role were Lee Marvin or Robert Vaughn, but glancing at their filmographies hasn't turned up a match.
