I was friends with someone involved in the production of the incredibad Australian vampire Matrix rip off called Reign In Darkness. Haven't seen him in many years, I must catch up with him somehow.

Bad Movies / Re: Movies with wayyy too many...

The Terminator franchise should have stopped at 2. Maybe 3. But the others were unnecessary. Although, the Sarah Connor Chronicles was a great spin off.

Friday The 13th, come on, how many sequels and remakes do we even need here?

Ditto for Halloween. The first was excellent, the second was what was presumed to be part of an anthology series, then they returned to Crystal Lake in the third. Oh speaking of Crystal Lake, there's now a movie of that name as of 2026.

Star Wars, definitely could have stopped after the second trilogy. Apart from Rogue One, the rest were meh.

Hellraiser III was great, but ehhh did we need more?

The Saw franchise. Like, really?

Same with Nightmare On Elm Street. Ugh, one or two were enough.

I'm quite partial to Jeepers Creepers and Final Destination, they are still quite creative and fun.

Got another one from the 70s: UFO's Are Real. It's a real blast from the past, it's like watching an episode of In Search Of.

I saw the trailer for this movie a while back about the production and release of the movie EXORCIST II THE HERETIC which became both a critical and box office disaster.

I'm not sure if this is a good docco about a bad movie or a bad docco about a good / bad movie but I've put it here anyway.

All three EXORCIST movies were banned here, so 😳😏😉🐢

They should have stopped at RETURN OF THE JEDI.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by FatFreddysCat - September 17, 2026, 05:46:59 PM
YouTube coughed up another 70s obscurity that I couldn't resist this afternoon:

"The Feminist and the Fuzz" (1971)

A "liberated woman" doctor (Barbara Eden) and a male chauvenist police officer (David Hartman) reluctantly agree to share a San Francisco apartment, leading to predictable cultural clashes and romantic misunderstandings.

This 1971 made-for-TV rom-com was probably considered "timely" when it first aired, but now it's badly dated and a bit of a slog, despite its impressive supporting cast that includes Jo Ann Worley of "Laugh-In," a young Farrah Fawcett (as a Playboy Bunny!), Julie "Catwoman" Newmar, and Harry "M*A*S*H*" Morgan.  Barbara Eden is her usual bubbly, post-"Jeannie" self but she has zero chemistry with Hartman.  He would eventually switch gears and went into TV journalism (he anchored "Good Morning America" for more than a decade), which was definitely a good career move, because he had the acting chops of a plank of wood.

An interesting time capsule for 70s kitsch enthusiasts, but not a must-see by any means.

They 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.
