Movies that never got a fair shake.

[Fathom Zero]

Hudson Hawk. That movie was awesome and still holds up today. Yet I don't hear it ever mentioned anymore.

What movie do you think never got a fair shake?

[Mockery]

Lots of movies, but one off the top of my head would have to be Darkman. Just saw it for the first time in ages the other day and forgot how amusing it was. Plus I always thought Larry Drake rocked. And speaking of Larry Drake...

Dr. Giggles is another movie that never got the credit it deserved, but that's one I'll definitely review on the site at some point. Took me a while to find a copy on DVD. I hate it when good shit goes out of print.

When I was a kid, my dad and I would rent big stacks of tapes every weekend from the sci-fi, horror, and action sections at the video store, so I saw and enjoyed both of those several times :O. For some reason, the kill I remember most from Dr. Giggles is when he replaces that lady's pill and walks right by some kid playing video games at a different part.

I still I still have hudson hawk on vhs somewhere around here. I remember liking it a lot but when I think about it, I can't remember why.

I have never met (in person) anyone else who enjoyed Evolution or Formula 51.

Formula 51, I can definitely understand. But I thought Evolution was fucking hilarious (who gives a shit if Stifler was in it?).

[Fathom Zero]

Evolution was good and Darkman is awesome.

I was thinking about Evolution not even last week and how much I wanted to see it again.

Staples made for me an about-5" x 10" sticker out of the "Who is Dark Man?" poster and I have no idea what I'm going to use it for. It looks boss, though.

I used to have a Darkman Comic/Graphic Novel. It was basically the movie summed up in comic form, and it was extremely violent (For a 7 year old). I wish i could find it.

God bless Google Video.
Dr. Giggles.
Get it while it's hot.

is the whole thing supposed to be in french

[Cliff Steele]

I don't know if it would be considered a movie that didn't get a fair shake, but Lost Highway never seems to get mentioned among David Lynch films, and I think it's the best one :O

[Fathom Zero]

Ginger Snaps never got a fair shake. It never even got a theatrical release, if I'm not mistaken.

[Grislygus]

Ginger Snaps is loved by horror fans everywhere, it's had plenty of shakes.

Apparently not by a lot of people here when I tried making a thread about it a while back

man i can't help it if you kept going off topic geez

[JohnBoy]

Lost Highway was awesome, as was Darkman. I think Cabin Boy never really got a fair shake as far as comedies are concerned, I still laugh my ass off every time I watch it. The art direction was solid too, albeit strange.

[Fathom Zero]

I want the box set soooo bad, but I don't feel like selling one of my kidneys to pay for it. I saw it for $52.

[Zomboid]

Probably for the best. The first one is fucking great but the second isn't anywhere near as good and the third is about as good as the second.

[Sacks]

Grindhouse.

[Grislygus]

The 13th Warrior got trashed, now that I think of it.

Fuck anyone who doesn't like watching Vikings killing cannibalistic neanderthals for two hours.

That movie never had a shot. It was severly edited and then shelved by the studio for more than a year. I would like to see the unedited version.

I watched that just the other night when it came on TV and was reminded of how awesome it was. The main guy Buliwyf (no, not Antonio) should be in way more movies, and he should always be a Viking. That movie is 100% pure entertainment and anybody who doesn't enjoy it is outta their mind.

"You can draw sounds? Show me."

"A man might be thought wealthy if someone were to draw the story of his deeds, that they may be remembered."

Pure Awesome.

[rocketsauce]

Have you read the book? It's pretty good actually with some cool details that are different from the movie.

[FartinMowler]

I will claim the fact that I have sung the praise of the Thirteenth Warrior before it was "hip".

Yep. I actually looked that guy up on imdb a few weeks ago when I caught a glimpse of the movie on tv. That guy was the definition of badass when I first saw the movie. We need more viking action heroes

Speaking of which, if anyone tries to defend Pathfinder in this thread, I will gouge out one of their kneecaps with a rusty spoon.

-JAHHHH!!! I never get tired of that one. "My mother was a pure woman and at least I know who my father is you stinking son of a whore!"

***
I have always felt The Burbs did not get a fair shake. It stars Oscar winner Tom Hanks for chrissakes,

Carrie Fischer is his wife (still looking not bad here)

and his buddies are Bruce Dern and Ric Duccomun.
Just pretend Corey Feldman isn't there and you'll be OK.

The bad guys are Henry Gibson, Brother Theodore

and some freaky Pinnochio mutant.

Age has not made Courtney Gaines any less freaky looking...

Henry Gibson alone makes this movie. "Ahh, we have guests. Excuse my blood."

Let's see what else- great Jerry Goldsmith theme music,
creepy neighbors who are CANNIBALS, Mr Rogers,
satanic cultists

people falling off roofs and power poles,
a dog names Landru,

explosions and some pretty goddamn funny dialog.
Oh yeah, Wendy Schall
is hot.

(Here she is in some from another flick) Here's the fansite I got most of the pics from. http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Studio/3875/didyou2.html



-In closing, this is a great beer, bong and pizza flick that is worth a second watch. Underrated!
