Favourite “Cult Classic”

[Wizardman]

Death Wish 1,2 and 3. After that they went downhill.

Death Wish 3 is absolute f**king madness. I love that movie to death. "They....killed....the....Giggler....man, THEY KILLED THE GIGGLER!"

I loved how the lady says "Thats the creep that stole my pocketbook,He should've been dead! I'm glad he's dead!"

Im not sure if many would be aware of this.....but Im tipping that anybody who enjoys movies made by a production studio called Cannon would have enjoyed the best B movies you will ever see. There is a killer cannon movie group on facebook which is worth joining.

Pretty much every 80s movie featuring Van Damme, Norris and Bronson would have been a Cannon picture. They made other gems such as the American Ninja series, the Ninja trilogy (featuring an ultra cool guy in Sho Kosugi) and Breakin/Electric Boogaloo.

I'll definitely check out that Facebook Cannon group. There's a whole stack of their movies I love.

Mate, they had no business doing that....none!

Love that scene you're referring to. Bronson with that big elephant pistol...haha

I remember watching Porky's as a pre-pubescent boy in the mid 80's, getting a cheap thrill... There was another movie, same genre called Screwballs. Anyone remember that one? There was a couple of raunchy scenes from memory, maybe a flash of bare breasts here and there.... I must have watched that VHS cassette about 20 times over a 2 week school holiday period....

And then basically forgot about it.... Until.... Until the first time I ever saw the clip for Regurgitator's song "Couldn't Do It" probably 10 years later where they sample a line from that Screwballs movie (for those familiar with the song, it's the part of the song where there's a girls voice saying "you know I don't like to do that") ...

Bit of a spin out and to this day, I've always wondered how many other people recognised the sample. Only young perverts growing up in the early to mid 80's who ended up taking a liking to 90's alt-rock probably had a chance of connecting the dots!!!

The Vidiot From UHF.

Michael Richards honed Kramer in it as Stanley Spadowski. Fran Drescher in it too.

Weird Al actually has acting chops too.


Another cult film, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1987). Dolph Lundgren lol.

Van Damme’s ‘Cyborg’ was the sequel repurposed.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

great list....

The Natural

This is a brilliant film. So criminally under rated. Impeccably cast and acted.

I like it more now than I did back then. Low budget but I thought they did a lot of things well in it. Believe it or not but there is a directors cut of it with extra footage but its not available in Australia
