Gone in 60 Weapons - Big Arnie finally gets his come-up-ence The Unusual suspects - A clown, a mime, a vet and a dog are arrested and tried for a crime they probably DID commit. Star Wars IV - a new Dope - Luke, Chewie, Hans, Leia, R2D2, C3PO and Darth get totally high on a new intergalatic dope, and then get a bad case of the munchies. Star Wars I - The Phantom Dennis - Dennis the Menace makes his first film appearance as the new sith, as his trademark red and black fit the specifications for the new enemy costume. The Who Towers? - Two previously unknown towers are compared for 3 1/4 hours by a man in a big hat with a stick The Bobbit - John Wayne Bobbit goes in search of his lost ‘treasure’ (ok not a film, but i couldn’t resist) Some Like It Pot - Instead of going on the run in an all girl band they get high and get ‘wacked’ by the mob a few hours later, much shorter film. The Seven Year Bitch - We all see that being married to Marilyn Monroe wouldn’t be all its made out to be Spinal Rap - Much the same as the original, just focusing on a failing rap band. Ok got a bit carried away, good game by the way, im sure i’ll think of some more. ---
