    Hi,

    Trying to find the name of a martial arts movie. Don't have much to go on possibly Jean Claude Van Dam but not sure and its not bloodsport.

    Main thing I remember is that there is a fight versus a guy with a very long braided pony tail on the end of which there is a blade.

    Thanks!

    Woden

    I think its Kickboxer

    Looking for a movie i used to rent when i was a kid all the time....

    guessing maybe the middle- late 80's

    was a horror kinda sci-fi movie i'm sure.. kinda think it being like Critters or some movie like that

    The only thing i really remember was the bad guy, we was dressed in black i'm sure had the cape and all that but his helmet looked like a dustbin, something like this

    untitled.jpg

    He had little sidekicks all the time and for some reason i think they were kinda like the ewoks, there was Lasers and all that.

    Really annoying me i'd love to know what it was :( (ITS NOT STAR WARS :P )

    I can actually picture it :mad: I keep thinking Spaced Invaders, but the bad guy in that was a robot I think.

    I seem to remember his little cronies were used for comic relief a lot. I thought it was more a kids movie but could be wrong.

    This movie was release a few years ago (2000s). At the start there was a hooker standing on a street corner. The ending had the same location. It may have been Scandinavian. Anyone know the title? Thanks.

    the movie heath ledger was in when he is an outback australian outlaw and puts a helmet over his head like that as a shield from bullets that are being fired upon him from the guns of the policemen that are chasing after him?

    something kelly or something?

    A different movie, going from start to end of relationship, relationship starts great and ends bad. Basically about getting together and breaking up.

    Any ideas? It's not 500 days of Summer.

    EDIT: Could be anything really. Half thinking it's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind now...

    Movies with reverse chronology - as well as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

    You also have

    and my favourite

    Hi there,

    Recently a film has cropped up in my head from my youth and Im struggling to identify it.

    The only scene that i can remember is what looks like an army base, and some guys are eating a lot of beans to try to light their farts, some guy feels ready and says "guys hit the lights" (he says it though sounding like "guys hit the whites")the place goes black and then a big flame is seen. Think it was late 80's or early 90's.

    Weekend Warriors aka Hollywood Air Force

    Was it "Hyperspace" aka "Gremloids" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0141270/?

    I think the character you're referring to is Lord Buckethead.

    Hi I seen this movie a couple of years ago and I cannot remember the name of it and its really annoying me and I need some help. Does anybody know the name of this film please I would be really a appreciated.

    Basically this is what I remember.

    The Plot:
    There is a assassination attempt on the president or some political figure/ someone important it was a sniper attempt, but there was two snipers (in the end) one of the stand out points/thing in my mind is when the detective person puts the flag through the bullet holes in the stage where the shots happened and noticed the bullet angles were different and could have not been the sniper they caught /killed cannot really remember, but the second main sniper had this problem with his foot and had a chiropodist (foot doctor) which is how they found him in the end.

    Sorry but this is all I really remember not much to go on but some one might recall it.

    Trying to remember the name of a Russian movie I saw recently. My Google foo is waning and it's tricky enough to Google anyway.

    Plot summary:
    Middle aged man parks is Lada in the mountains, gets out with his dog for a bit of hunting but not having much of a day of it. Runs into 3 Russian mafia guys one of whom is due to be killed by the other two. Chase ensues where mafia guy and man form a friendship of sorts.
    I'll not spoil the rest of it.

    Any ideas?

    - Based in Barcelona
    - At least 4 years old (Saw it in Munich on a language course)
    - Has a few different languages in it, English, French, German and Spanish at least (I think)
    - The people are in their twenties mostly
    - Might have had a good sex scene but I'm not certain.

    If someone get's this you'll have saved me a few weeks of headaches, it
