Metalstorm or Spacehunter in 3-D

[cowofzot]

I like em both, but think Spacehunter is better. Molly Ringwald nude would've pushed it to the next level, but Overdog was cool & the Utah landscape also.

Next level of what? Dude, Molly Ringwald was only 14 years old when she was shooting the movie.

Really then? She had developed funbags, didn't you see the bath in the mud scene? Didn't look any much diff in later films.

Okaaay...

In two threads in this particular forum alone we've had references to 14 year old girls (though I thought she was 15 when she did this movie).

For future reference, unless a girl is a really late bloomer...14 YEAR OLD GIRLS HAVE TITS!

And you are right...Molly Ringwald getting naked in this would have taken it to the next level...the criminal level!

Age of consent is 14 in Iceland & Mexico.

Next level of what, thats like asking which is better, a hug from yer sis, or a topless massage from Salma Hayek. Sorry, seemed a silly question.

And age of consent in most states is 16, but that does not mean you can have 16 year olds naked and/or involved in sex scenes in movies. And. btw, a 14 year old is still a kid regardless of how developed she may or may not be.

The question is not silly, you brought it up about a 14 year old getting naked taking a movie to the next level; it seems fair to ask what that level might be.

[cowofzot]

Silly to me.

I saw both of these in the theater when they were originally released.  There was a short period around that time when 3-D movies were fashionable, but most of them stunk and the brief 3-D resurgence disappeared.

I'm quite positive that I saw one of these in the theatre , but I can't remember which one it was (I was about six years old at the time). Reminds me when 3D was cool unlike the resurgence of it nowadays which seems to be the main selling point of new crappy films.

Actually a good bit of the 3-D films were pretty crappy then. I saw Spacehunter in the theater and really liked it. I saw any 3-D movie I could at the time, then they went away.

In 1983 several 3-D films were released as it was the 30th anniversary of the boom in 3-D films in 1953.

I like the idea of 3-D films, though I don't think they play to the camera like they used to, I think it's more of a selling point like you said.

The most fun I had at a 3-D movie was Comin' at ya in 3D. Spacehunter was one of the better ones to me too. The Man Who Wasn't There in 3D put me to sleep several times during the movie.

[The Burgomaster]

The best 3-D movies I saw in the 1980s were a re-release of HOUSE OF WAX, which was made in the 1950s and a re-release of ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN, which was made in the 1970s!

It's funny, in most films in the 1980's the boys/girls possing as teens are often young adults, I believe most of the cast in Breakfest Club was over 21 years old.

Although Molly did play a young character the theme of the story suggests that she was 18 years old or maybe 16ish (a young woman type), her voice was very annoying at times (almost like an old nagging woman) and the ending suggested a love intrest between both characters, so I can see how somebody may thought she was much older in that movie.

On the other hand, space has no rules especially when you pick up a young girl from another planet that was living in squalor.

Since someone asked about "The Breakfast Club," . . .

Judd Nelson was 25, when the film was first released.
Emilio Estevez was 22, when the film was first released.
Ally Sheedy was also 22, when the film was first released.
Anthony Michael Hall was 16, when the film was first released.
And Molly Ringwald was also 16, when the film was first released.

As for myself, I much prefer my teenage characters to be teenagers, as (IMHO) they give a much more realistic performance. Though I love Steve McQueen's attempt to play a teenager in "The Blob," though he was long past his teens by that time.
