Title: Searching for a beach Movie with a nerd and hypnotic pheromones
Post by: BTB on November 06, 2007, 03:44:07 AM
It is probably not worth the effort but it is nagging on me.

i once stumbled at least 14 years ago on a movie that featured some friends and a geek who stumbled on a scent/perfume/pheromone which made them ablke to control women. One trashy gangster and his thug kidnap the geek fordce every women along with bad wigs to be hookers and are bested when the geek invents a scent which lets him control the thug.

It started to sound like "Love Potion #9", but then i don't remember that other stuff in it. I'll look around, see if i can find your movie.

definitely not LVP9, my movie was probably from the eighties and i remember a scene where one of the boys order a girl to roar like a lion and the sound cames from her mouth like in a documentary, also the movie was not politically correct.

Definitely not "parfum". At least not "The Parfum - History of a murderer". That one was released last year and it is not really an independent, trashy, non-pc movie (no wigs, hookers, etc.) - it ended up with production costs of 60 mio Euro (about 88 mio $). It is also not really french. It was produced in France, Spain and Germany, but sort of surprisingly in English.

However, it is a good movie. The book by Patrick Süskind (1985) is a classic over here. The film does a fair job, but in my opinion, does not really catch Grenouille's character.

One thing this is really a trashy very american movie and I have seen it a long time ago so perhaps i am mistaken by using a scent for controlling the women, after doing some resaerch I have to ask has anyone seen Surf II http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088207/

I remember best the Lion roar scene

could this be the one movie I am searching for

If it's not scent, that's controlling the women, it might be "Mindkiller" (1987). Some nerdy guy learns to sort of manipulate others out of some books (Of course : telekinesis for dummies! - although I should be careful with my preconceptions after having heard about the "men who stare at goats"...).

Naturally, he uses his new powers to....ahm....take advantage?...of young women. But that's about it with the similarities. Probably no kidnapping and I think the guy's brain explodes or turns into some alien-brain-critter or what the heck, I don't know....

men who stare at goats?tell me more!!

"Men who stare at goats" was mentioned in the "recent readings" or "recent books" post. Obviously a book about secret US government experiments with soldiers telekinetically killing goats and stuff.....

I think this movie could be BEACH FEVER (1987), starring none other than Kato Kaelin.  From an IMDB user's comments: .  "Tack on a beach romance/love potion/hypnotised hooker/Kato must save the day plot. Add a nerd/mad scientist, a musclehead/bully, a girlfriend/psychopath." (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092624/usercomments).

This plot sounds vaguely familiar, like something I caught part of on USA's old "Up All Night" program.
