Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 04:18:24 PMThey Call Me Bruce (1982) - I vaguely remember this being somewhat of a cool movie when I was like 7. It's very much on the line between funny and stupid. I saw "Super Snooper" a few weeks ago and that was way better, but I still mostly enjoyed this because it has about 10,000 jokes so some of them are bound to hit, right? It's PG so you're not gonna get "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie" style outrageous decadence and the writing is certainly not at the level of Airplane. It's about on par with that river rafting 80's comedy.
A Bruce Lee look alike (Korean comic Johnny Yune) is a chef for some branch of the mafia somewhere. He gets tasked with delivering cocaine that he thinks is flour to make noodles, which is all he does. He and the mafia minder guy constantly get in jams and almost caught and beat up and so forth. Some of the jokes are really incredibly corny. According to the old recent viewings thread, I watched this about 15 years ago, but I didn't remember any of it at all.
Low grade entertainment. I will most likely check out the sequel They Still Call Me Bruce because...I don't know why, but I think I will.
4/5
Marsha Warfield from Night Court has a cameo and is way skinnier.

that one's odd and feels like a weird tv movie. directed by some guy on valium and lsd
part 5 is camp as a row of tents but quite good fun
part 6 is an absolute snoozefest
there's a reboot from around 2010 but, having not seen it, I think it looks like it's trying to capitalize on the TWILIGHT craze, so I'm not interested
I know some of the actors and crew who worked on 4 so the LSD and Valium thing might be correct 😳😏😉🐢

Last post by FatFreddysCat - Today at 01:32:26 PM"Toomorrow" (1970)
Space aliens study the wacky antics of a London art school pop band, whose music contains "positive vibrations" that may help save their imperiled planet.
James Bond producer Harry Saltzman and Monkees co-creator Don Kirschner teamed up for this shag-a-delic sci-fi musical obscurity that's best known for featuring a young, unknown Olivia Newton-John as one of the "Toomorrow" band members.
The idea was to create another Monkees-esque franchise that would make numerous films and record albums, but the relationship between Saltzman and Kirschner soured during the film's troubled production, leading to a series of lawsuits. As a result, "Toomorrow" played in London cinemas for one week and then ended up on the shelf for 40+ years, till it was rediscovered in the 2000s. It's dated as hell and extremely goofy, but "Toomorrow" had some catchy tunes and lots of scenes of Olivia shakin' her groove thing in hot pants and a tight sweater, therefore I was entertained.

Last post by Trevor - Today at 11:01:23 AMQuote from: zombie no.one on Today at 08:56:42 AMsome might argue THE HOWLING has too many installments, but if it didn't we'd never have got as far as THE HOWLING PART 7: NEW MOON RISING which is my fav 'bad movie' ever. so there's that.
