CHINA O'BRIEN 1 + 2, blu ray

never seen these... or any of Cynthia Rothrock's other films.

always ready for some early 90s beat-em-up cheese however.

A poor choice, but at least I paid for it with a free gift card I got for donating blood.

Cynthia Rothrock could do two things to me (1) Kick my ass and (2) steal my heart and I would be OK with that 🥰🥰🥰🥰😉🐢

Yep, Lon's grandson, I believe. He's an old man now and he was one of the better actors, though his role made no sense.

I'm no RC, but WHITE ZOMBIE is the classic there, one of Lugosi's best performances.

thanks Rev. (yes it was an open question of course!)

[M.10rda]

I'd agree w/ WHITE ZOMBIE as the stand-out in all regards. I've seen at least one of the other two yet recall neither clearly, but suspect that Bela is support, not the lead, possibly in both. He's definitely the main attraction in WZ.

But we're burying the lead... I presume you are an adult and you've been an active member of a website called BadMovies.org for many years... and you've never seen a Bela Lugosi movie?  Does Not Compute!!!

badmovie pass revoked!!   

- wasn't until I checked his imdb earlier that I see he was in PLAN 9... well I've seen that, if it counts as a 'Bela Lugosi' movie?

I've mentioned before on here that I have a hard time with b/w movies in general. I start my personal badmovie journey around 1967. it is what it is.

[M.10rda]

Hey that's cool, no shame. I used to have some issue getting into B+W movies, too, but later films like ERASERHEAD that used B+W as a stylistic choice instead of a necessity helped me get over that. Obviously stuff like VAMPYR also helped.

And PLAN 9 totally counts! It really is Bela in... several shots of that movie!

I like Lynch but ERASERHEAD was kind of harrowing to me. only saw it recently, not sure I'll rewatch, but the b/w definitely feels 'right'... ditto PSYCHO, not sure I'd be happy if they 'colourized' that. CLERKS kinda worked in b/w

exceptions to me though... don't know what it is. I'm the least snobby person when it comes to 'picture quality'. got the most basic tv set ever. I've watched entire films on youtube at 240fps, on my phone! something about no colour grates on me though
