i need help looking for a movie that was made by a really rich guy in the 70's or 80's. I dont remember if he was a oil tycoon but i remember he hearing he made this fantasy/cheezy epic about something. i also heard it was so bad the lead actor killed himself not too long after. i heard it on mystery science theatre 3000 but I never go the name of it. can anyone help?
The only thing I can think of that comes close to what you've mentioned is "Manos the Hands of Fate"
It certainly wasn't made by a rich oil tycoon but by a guy that sold manurer. Itt was on MST3K and one of the actors (not the lead mind you) killed himself shortly afterwards but I don't think it was because of how terrible it was.
thats it!
thanks for the help!
Are you serious? That was it!?
My very blind shot in the total darkness was correct?
Wow!
Yup that was it. After I looked it up I recognized it right away, some dub it the worst movie ever made. So of course I want to get the dvd and see it. Have u seen it? Is it really that bad?
Yes it's quite terrible. Pretty mind numbing. Not THE worst but it's got a well earned rank among them. Glad I could help, I just wonder how you got Oil Tycoon out of "manure seller".
Cool, I'll have to check it out then. I dont know how I got oil tycoon, i think I just remember the maker was from texas, had money, and had a job that was far from being a director. so I guess oil tycoon just popped in my head. heck, I think that makes more sense then a guy who sells poop making a movie.
I don't this guy was from Texas either. Maybe it was Kansas, a Southern State it was, I'm sure on that part.
