The Space Marines of Warhammer were very much inspired by the Mobile Infantry of Starship Troopers. Just about every military SciFi has some elements borrowed from Starship Troopers from Aliens to Stargate.

That cannibal movie spawned more rumours in the eighties as to whether the footage was real or acted than any other movie I can recall :DL

Yaaay, I'm the first one to mention...

Blacula

Truly breathtaking.

Sailor Steve 05-21-10 08:39 PM

Yes indeedy! Blacula came out the same time as Jeremiah Johnson. I was watching Redford at the six-screen drive-in and could see that thing playing in the rear-view mirror.

Not knowing a source is a tradition. Like the young friend I showed Casablanca to a few years back. He didn't like it - said they used too many cliched quotes. I had to explain that they had to come from somewhere...

Yea, I'm trying to get my best friend to read ST. He in to Japanese Mecha Anime, and I've told him several times that ST was one of the first to popularize Mecha type combat. But he is too hard headed... Oh well next time he comes to town I'm making sure he takes one of my copies with him. :yep:

About 10 minutes ago I just watched the 1965 "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster".

Now, realize that I really like campy Sci Fi movies from the 50's and 60's. I have been collecting them for a few years. But I can honestly say this is not bad as in campy, it is simply bad.

It did have Marilyn Hanold (yum) but she was wearing far too many clothes and she aint no actress. :nope:

I agree. W40K has had decades to polish it into it's current (and excellent) story line. You're right, scifi has a history of "borrowed elements" from ST. It's funny to hear my Son say Dawn of War robbed Starcraft of Orc & Marine characters, when WH40K existed before he was born. And the Tyranids of 40K clearly came from the Alien movies, which got the idea from the bugs of ST. I had never heard of Warhammer before DOW, and have read over 70 novels since I was introduced to the universe. But I'm getting OT.

The movie Tina Turner movie, "What's Love Got to Do With It" was awful and way too long. It was the 1st movie I had rented with a new girl I was trying to see. By the time it was over, we were both so restless (and not in a good way) I was more concerned with getting the Hell out of there instead of making a move on her.

If you liked Dead Snow you might like the first movie from the same gang, Kill Buljo. Its a parody on Kill Bill ++ Although it has some really funny parts its mostly just bad.

Trailer (dubbed in English, but try to get a subtitled version)

Anything with Misty Mundae in...they are spoof horror films with some extras thrown in.

Much of the humour lies in the language itself, and you need a familiarity with Norwegian dialects to understand it. Same reason you can't really "get" Flåklypa unless you're familiar with Norwegian language, no matter how good the translation. Nevertheless, I completely agree with your asessment of Kill Buljo: some really funny parts but mostly just bad.

After struggling through that God awful book, I could only watch 30 minutes of the movie before the novelty of that train wreck got old. As far as a bad big budget movie, I think we may have a winner.

The movie "DOOM"

Great video game, crappy movie. :down:

I only recently discovered that I've seen this one. I had no idea I was watching Doom when I watched it, I just saw Karl Urban on the screen and stopped flipping channels. I don't remember it being all that bad considering the genre, but it's entirely possible I was distracted by the fact that Karl Urban was on the screen.

Platapus 05-23-10 12:50 PM

In my opinion, if you are going to make a movie based on a video game, it should resemble the video game. Since DOOM was very linear. The set design and main plot are already set, all you have to do is worry about the CGI (which is what movies are all about these days)

I think there are many video games that would make great movies, if the director could stick to the game plot/sets
