Haha, congratulations! It's a good feeling, especially if the clues or the movie/show are obscure.

I managed to identify it a while ago, so I thought I should drop by and let you know, just to find that alyxstarr had cracked the case! It is indeed "Crime of Crimes", starring (or not that much actually :D) David Carradine!
Thank you alyxstarr and everyone trying to find this one!
So, I guess now this may be considered solved!
Fantastic! Thank you for coming back to update, and after so long!

Doesn't matter. It will be bonerfied jerk-off material for MAGA guys once their reptilian cyborg ice Queen slithers to streaming platforms

Hell's Angels '69(1969)
https://youtu.be/-oUZUFs6KIo?si=iNNIwg62OUg-DWQP
Two brothers, a pair of '60s mods ditch their haughty hippie party at a swank hotel, head back to their mansion, where they change into their poser suits & ride out on Harleys...
The next town over, they goad a car into running one of them off the road, a ruse to get the attention of some local Hell's Angels, who invite them to ride along, trade a girl for a pack of cigarettes, & talk about their next ride.... The two brothers talk the bikers into going to Las Vegas, where they plan to trick the bikers into starting a scene outside Caesars Palace while they rob the place...
The heist goes off without a hitch, but afterwards, everything that can go wrong does....
Remastered audio, mostly the music & sound effects, witch distracts from the dialog at times...
Lots of bikers misbehaving to fill the runtime, but starts getting tense toward the end, and the director makes good use of the dessert scenery at the end....

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - January 31, 2026, 07:40:16 PMLester, definitely avoid the more recent STRANGERS: CHAPTER ONE, among the worst new movies I've seen the past couple years. Like the STRANGERS you reviewed, it criminally misuses a nice redhead (Madeline Petsch). 90 minutes of nothing-sandwich, then it ends on a "Cont'd" title, and indeed CHAPTER TWO came out last year and CHAPTER THREE is coming in 2026. Naturally I skipped #2 and the Letterboxd reviews acquit me. If you thought the one you just watched was a drag, imagine that story stretched to 3x's the length!

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - January 31, 2026, 07:33:13 PMTHE FALL OF TROY (1911):
This is a heavily watered down version of The Iliad/Trojan War (Achilles and Hector aren't even mentioned!) and even though it's only 30 minutes, I'd still recommend watching it @ 2x speed on Youtube. But, I did think it was really interesting to watch for its insight into early 20th century filmmaking techniques. In short (and as demonstrated somewhat in BABYLON), producers didn't quite understand the concept of "effects" yet. Thus:
* The ship that the Greeks sail on? Real wooden boat, surely not "to scale", per se, yet they built it and a couple dozen guys board it and then two guys have to push it away from shore a couple yards into a small pond and then the shot ends as presumably the boat quickly begins to sink and all the extras have to jimp off into shallow water.
* Trojan Horse? "Real"... again, less grand at scale than one would think, w/ fewer dudes inside than one presumes could overwhelm a city, but appears to be wood and on wheels...
* The walls of Troy? Front walls/gate are visible and there's a moving rampart. They're a good size and look credible from a stationary wide shot, at about 2.5-3 times the height of an extra.
But on that note...
How many Greek soldiers attacked Troy? About....... two dozen, right? That's about how many you see running up to the wall in the aforementioned wide shot, and then there's some unseen Trojans (crew) whose arms are visible tossing rocks off the top of the wall.
Okay, but how about once the Greeks are inside the walls running amok? Here's a good old-timey trick for ya' -
Film an entranceway and have your extras parade through it and offscreen. Start the smoke machine up, keep rolling, and then once the fog is blasting full-tilt, circle those extras back around for a second go. Under the cover of smoke, who's to know it's the same two dozen guys comin' around twice? They pull this trick twice in a row - two back-to-back shots!
3/5 This is one reason I watch old movies, I guess.
