> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Number Six \* > **Tower of Death** was made by using footage left over from **Game of Death** , which itself was incomplete when Lee died. In Tower, the Lee character is killed early on, and the protaganist has to avenge his death. In **Game of Death** , prinicpal photography was done, but several scenes needed to be reshot. Due to Lee’s death, a lookalike was used and filmed from the back. > > **Game of Death** : Just horrible from start to finish. Ok, the fight with Kareem is pretty cool, but the rest of the film is a dead zone. \*\* I remember **Game of Death**. It starred Hugh O’Brian as the villain (Gig Young was in it too, though I don’t remember it). The fight with Kareem is especially memorable for its ineptness. But one scene in particular stands out. Hugh and Bruce are sneering at each other in a dressing room, and to do one particular shot, \*pasted a picture of Bruce on the dressing room mirror \* to cover up the fact he wasn’t there. Ed Wood would have been proud. ---

**Child’s Play 3** - “Don’t fuck with the Chuck!” Come on, it doesn’t get any better than that! **Bloodsport** - It’s on every week on TBS and TNT, and I find myself watching it every time. **Desperado** - Johnny 23 is now a knife wielding expert! **Commando** - “Do you know what today is, Matrix? PAYDAY!” AHHH, I love it! **Navy Seals** - Everyone loves the infrared sniper scope scene! ---

**I Spit on Your Grave** –When I was a teenager it was always the favorite at sleepovers. **Female Trouble** – while I wouldn’t personally consider _any_ John Waters film **bad** …many people would…But this is the **best** of all of them…“Ooooooh Aunt Ida…Aunt Ida, you’re looking sexy tonite!” And I second (or third) **AMERICATHON**. I used to have this on tape…and watched it so many times I think I wore the tape out. As a kid, my friends and I would stage little Americathons in my basement with a toy organ. “Give us all your Gold, Gold, Gold!” Jeeze, I’d love to see this flick again! On that note, isn’t there a website you can register the name of a movie, and they’ll e-mail you when it shows on TV? I could swear there is…and if there isn’t–there should be! ---

KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park - It’s even funnier if you keep in mind that this was intended as a serious action movie. Mac And Me - I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that it’s the most brazen E.T. rip-off ever, or that it’s also a two hour McDonald’s commercial. The Breakfast Club - I know a lot of people will raise a howl over me calling this a bad movie, but I never could understand how anyone could take this seriously. It’s just plain stupid. I watch it whenever it comes on though. ---

The gods must be crazy, Zorro the gay blade, Better off dead, these are bad movies? I didn’t even know. Still love them. Add to those - Tremors Logan’s Run - mmm, Micheal York Nomads - mmm, Peirce Brosnan Top secret - mmm, Val Kilmer Okay, maybe now I’m seeing a theme as to why I like these movies still. Maybe that was rude not to put a “mmm, Kevin Bacon” in. Oh well. ---

New favorite: “Cannibal: The Musical” This is definately a must watch. It is a student film done by Matt Stone and Trey Parker and that guy that played Squeak in Baseketball (that movie would probably fit in this category too). A musical comedy based on the true story of a man convicted of cannibalism in Colorado in the early 1800’s. it was later distrubuted by Troma. If you can get this, find the DVD version. The directors’ comments version is definately Oscar-worthy. And the trapper song will make you shit yourself. ---

Wow. This thread has gone this long without mention of **RoboCop**? I love this movie. I have been begging for it for months and months and months. The wife won’t let me buy it. ☹ There is a special edition DVD of all three movies and I want them so bad. I was such a fan of the first one, that when they filmed the second one here in Houston I went to be an extra during the final scene with the uber-Robocop evil guy. It was great. ---
