ok
so i thought i remembered that the karate kid 3 was shot before the karate kid 2

but i looked it up there and it wasn't
so which two movie sequels am i thinking of ?

Possibly Darkman?

They were shot back to back, Darkman 2 was supposed to be Darkman 3 and vice versa, but they swapped them around before release.

The Back to the Future sequels were shot simultaneously.

There's a scene set in a prison and a prison guard forces a prisoner to clean/eat faeces off of his shoe by eating it. Probably made in the 1990's.

Randomly found it: Power of One

When I was a kid I watched a film where three teens (White guy, African American guy and (Asian or white, can't remember)girl), at the end of the movie they are given medals and become embodiments of virtues. There are 5 elemental guardians that look like a bit like ratchet from ratchet and clank, I can't remember all of the elements but water, fire and bronze were definitely in there. I really want to watch this film again, so If anyone has any Idea where I can look or ask next, or if you know what movie it is, It is most appreciated.

This film was heavily oriental, lots of martial arts and oriental mythologies, if this helps, but was american.

Thank you so much, been looking for that for ages.

darkdubh · 19-11-2015 12:04am

This is a scene from a movie that I saw on the TV circa mid 80s so dating earlier than that I'd imagine.Political thriller I think,American.Theres only one scene that I remember clearly.A woman is preparing her two young daughters ,who are aged about 4 to 6 for their bath.She leaves the two of them alone in the bathroom and in the kitchen is confronted by two guys who are dressed like the men in black,suits etc.She pleads with them then they shoot her dead.The two hitmen are about to leave when the two little girls run out of the bathroom shouting "Mommy,Mommy".The hitmen turn around,clearly not expecting them.The scene then ends without showing what happens next but as far as I remember its implied that they shot the girls.

In this movie I can only clearly remember one scene,a caveman having a picnic with another guy dressed up like a posh English gent complete with bowler hat.And no it wasn't The Flintstones.From what I remember it was some sort of surreal fantasy film,maybe British from the 60s or 70s.I remember when the caveman appeared my brother saying"is that a caveman?" cos he was kind out of period.

The Bed-Sitting Room with Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Spike Milligan, etc.

Think that might be it alright,I've looked up a few clips on YT and while I can't find the bit with the caveman it looks very much in the vein of the film I remember seeing.

There's this movie set on a Scottish island. The people call this orphan girl a witch or say that she has a curse. She found a painting by the sea. A boy's family went to the island to look at the painting. The boy is obsessed with detective work.

Looking for a British comedy movie, from.. I think.. Between 2005-2010, in which these guys try to make an arthouse porn movie. There was a big name American actress in it, but can't remember who.

That's the one! As it turns out, "porn comedy movie british" is not something that is easily searched for on Google.

There's this movie with a single mother of two boys. The mother's name is Beth, she was dating this guy in an orchestra. The older son was dating a nurse.

I think it was produced in the 1950s or 60s, but it's in colour.

It's a horror

Set in a small English town

Ok here's the plot:

There's a girl who's beautiful on one side of her face but the other side is scarred/has a birthmark or something. She falls in love with this peasant guy and they start a relationship.

However, there's also three aristocratic hoodlums that terrorise the town. They're always drunk and causing trouble. At one point on the way home from the pub, they start singing cruel songs about the girl's face, outside her window. She's with the peasant guy at the time, and he's really mad.

A bit further on, the three hoodlums are drinking in a pub and refuse to leave at closing time. When asked to leave by the landlord they attack him and kill him. From here it gets a bit hazy. I think either the girl or the peasant guy catches them, so they kill him too...or maybe they frame the peasant guy and kill the girl.

Anyway, the girl somehow dies. Meanwhile, there's also this genius/crazy doctor, who lives in some kind of old castle building and he sets out to bring her back to life. She comes back to life and basically goes after the three hoodlums

Any ideas?

It's a 1967 Hammer production, with Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein.

That's amazing! Peter Cushing, of course!

You know I've been searching for this for ages. Years ago I thought it had something to do with Frankenstein but could never find it on YouTube.

It's just a film I saw when I was about 14 or so, late one night. And over the years it just popped into my head on occasion, but I could never remember the name of it!

Thanks, I watch it again soon

darkdubh · 31-12-2015 1:24am

I posted about this before with no joy so here goes again.I remember this one scene from a horror film I saw on the telly years ago,dating from the 1970s or 80s.Think the story line had something to do with satanic stuff or demons.In the scene a wasp or bee which as far as I remember was supposed to be sent by the Devil flies in the window of a woman driving her car at night.It attacks her and in her efforts to swat it away the car crashes and explodes into flames.The police come upon the crashed car which is burnt out and still smouldering and a policeman nervously peers into it,we see the charred corpse of the woman in the driving seat.The next bit I'm a bit vague about,the corpse either comes to life or falls forward in the seat giving the cop a fright,and then the car bursts back into flames.

Sounds like Dead and Buried (1981)

Certain its neither of those though Dead And Buried does feature someone being burned alive,its not a woman though.It deffo had some kind of demonic/Satanic angle.The thing with the wasp is bugging me,its so unusual a concept in a horror film but Googling brings up nothing.I think the woman might have been investigating satanic activity and thats why she was killed,I only saw some of the film.

RoadhouseBlues · 02-01-2016 12:51am

It sounds like Amityville 3. She had an envelope on the seat beside her, and it burst into flames. There was a purple bee in the car if I remember correctly. It sounds like this. I could be wrong though.

New Home · 02-01-2016 9:12am

I vaguely remember something like that, but I think it had more to do eigh a swarm of killer bees that had escaped from a lab. Then again, that could have been a completely different film...

RoadhouseBlues is spot on. The scene from 55.20 is exactly as you described.

Not a film but sounds like Mork & Mindy TV series. Mindy drives an open top jeep in the opening credits, and Mork drinks through his finger.....

No it was definitely not Mork & Mindy, was a film with a family of 4 or 5 aliens, in the end when they were driving in the open top car (I have a feeling it was a pink cadilac) they were also wearing "human" clothes, was definitely a film!

Just solved it with a bit of googling!

It was Mac and Me, a sort of crude E.T type spin-off.

Kolido · 07-01-2016 10:21am

Hopefully someone can help me with this, a movie from the last few years, I think it it was a horror/thriller

Only scene I can recall is a person is lying in bed and there is a figure walking back and forth on the balcony outside and suddenly the figure is in the bedroom.

I think it is a well enough known movie but I can't put my finger on it

Any help is much appreciated.

Skerries · 07-01-2016 4:08pm

Bram Stokers Dracula?

Kolido · 07-01-2016 7:52pm

Don't think its that one, would be in the last 5 years at most I think.

New Home · 07-01-2016 8:00pm

Kolido · 07-01-2016 9:07pm

Contemporary setting, the figure was possibly a supernatural being.

New Home · 08-01-2016 12:12am

Could it have been one of the spoof horror movies, like Scary Movie or one of those?

Kolido · 08-01-2016 6:02am

I don't think so, I've haven't watched a spoof horror in years, this movie I would have saw in the last 2 years or so which makes me think its quite recent.
The scene stuck with me as I found it quite unnerving.
I seem to recall the bedroom was fitted with cameras to watch over the person sleeping which I think was a women. It could be a show like insidious if that scene rings a bell with anyone. Sorry I'm not giving a lot to go on.

Ah, you don't really need to watch it again. First half is creepy as fook quickly followed up by the goofiest second half off a horror movie I've ever seen. Astral planing my arse as Jim Royle might say.

Hi there...

Not a lot of info to go on for this one, sorry! I was in a local record store today, and in light of yesterday's sad news, they were playing Bowie's 'Low' album. Specifically the instrumental track 'Art Decade':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBprICVPzKA

The moment I heard it I thought it was from a film, and even asked the guy behind the counter. But a Google search has shown up nothing. The melody starts about 12 seconds into the song. It strikes me as something I might have seen in a Film/TV program/Trailer back in the early 80s, kinda Blade Runner/Tron/even Betty Blue, but I know it's none of them. Anyone any ideas if it was used in Film/TV?

Thanks...

J.

I cannot find the following movie, possibly a British drama involving a young couple living in the country side on a farm ? the only thing I remember is a love scene where the young man is working outdoors carrying something in a wheelbarrow (possibly a piece of an engine or something heavy) and the girl kicks the wheelbarrow or trips the guy making him fall down. Her plan to get his attention works and the love scene takes place into the nearby barn or tool-shed

I know this is an old post, but could this be 'Puffball'?
