Movies you doubt others have seen

[mountaindew]

I don't know anyone that has seen Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. It's a black and white science fiction/drama film.

IIRC you are the only other person I have met that has seen Radio Rebel. The Disney CHannel movie that is Pump Up the Volume but for tweens.

Yes, I caught it on Peacock a few years back. Still not sure how a Disney Channel Original Movie turned up on an NBCUniversal streaming service, but it's still there for anybody who wants to watch. Honestly it was one of the more uninteresting DCOM's I've seen. Not necessarily the worst, but just so obvious and formulaic.

When I saw it years back I looked into it. Seems it wasn't a legit DCOM. It wasnt made by Disney but another company.

It was one she found and added to her collection. And one weekend it got thrown into the player.

A made for tweens Pump Up the Volume would be good. This wasn't.

Speaking of oddball DCOM's what about Tower of Terror with Steve Gutenberg and I think Kirsten Dunst? Another I had no clue existed. Found the DVD cheap at a thrift and got it to cover for 31 days of Horror then add to her Disney Collection.

Been a bit but seen it a few times. Once at a drive in as part of a triple feature.And later on as a vhs rental.

One that use to fit this ,but thanks to Vinger Syndrome it is better known,is the mid 90s Neo Noire film Red Rock West.

Nick Cage is a drifter that ends up mistaken for a hitman hired to kill a battered woman's asshole husband.

One of the many Neo Noire films made in the wake of Pulp Fiction being a hit. And this one is actually good. The VHS wasn't that easy to find. The DVD was one of those late 90s GOODTIMES releases. So 4:3 and long out of print. Now the VS Blu Ray limited edition is sold out.

Never heard of it, which is surprising cause it sounds like something I'd be drawn to.

Looking it up now and it's not actually a Disney Channel Original Movie. It looks like it debuted on ABC on whatever Disney was calling their weekly network anthology show in 1997. Now I'm curious, I might try to track it down.

Kazaam starring sinbad

People swear it’s not only real but they’ve seen it but never go into detail about the plot or other actors involved

The fictional genie movie starring Sinbad is "Shazaam". "Kazaam" is a very real genie movie starring Shaquille O'Neal.

If you are looking for the DVD in stores it is a white case so easy to spot. Was made to promote the Tower of Terror ride.

I have bought some DVDs in the past from mom-and-pop stores, flea markets, yard sales, and closing stores that I doubt a lot of people have heard of. I can't list them, but maybe in the near future, I will dig them up and list them. I think some are in the garage.

One that stands out is called "Blast" and I bought it along with another movie that shares that title that starred Eddie Griffin. Yes, Eddie Griffin in an action film, which wasn't boring, but I'm not talking about that one. The movie I am talking about is a 2000 film about four teens who cover up the death of a developer that they mistook for the disappearance of their friend, according to what I had read. I haven't watched it yet, but I know it has Adam LaVorgna (Robbie from "7th Heaven"), Tony Denman (who I recognize in some stuff), and Liesel Matthews, who was in that 1995 film adaptation of "A Little Princess." I'll have to watch it soon.

Okay, now I am going really obscure here. "Duke of Earl," a 1979 film about Mexican gangs, which I had later read was a Christian outreach film to get people not to join gangs and stuff. I first discovered it on YouTube. I think it was a TV movie. When I first watched it, there was no information on this film on IMDB, but now there is info.

I also doubt anybody has heard of a movie called "Greedy." No, NOT the one with Michael J. Fox, Olivia d'Abo, and Kirk Douglas! I could go into some detail here. Here is link to the IMDB page. Here is also the video on YouTube, which is how I watched it. I could tell you this, though. I remember as far back as 2001 when I saw the poster ads placed on walls and poles in my area (this film was shot in Sacramento, CA - where I'm from), as well as bus benches, for the soundtrack album. I didn't hear anything about the movie. I later found out that the movie was released in 2005, but I could surmise that it was shot earlier than that. A DVD exists of the movie, but I haven't bought it. It seems the soundtrack album is more common, though.

If anyone here has seen my vintage home movies, I'll be mightily impressed.

It actually always surprises me when I post about a super obscure movie in the "Track the Movies You Watched" thread and other posters recognize them.

Probably the most recent movie I've seen that would fit this description is Elfette Saves Christmas. After a tech company hires mobsters to kidnap Santa, it's up to a lone female elf, Elfette (who was on vacation in Florida when this happened) to rescue him and save Christmas. It has its issues. Its amateurish and slow at times, but the actors are (mostly) putting real effort into their parts and it surprisingly gets the most out of its obviously ultra low-budget and limited special effects abilities.

House 2: The Second Story is a surprisingly fun horror-comedy featuring a memorable appearance from Cheers' John Ratzenberger.

Evil Toons is another horror-comedy from the 90's about a group of attractive college girls trapped in a haunted house being tormented by a weird cartoon ghost. It's stupid, but entertainingly stupid (at times anyways). Warning, there are a lot of naked boobies in this.

The Midnight Hour is an obscure 80's TV movie about a group of teens dealing with a zombie attack in their small town at Halloween. It's mostly forgettable, but if you ever wanted to see a nearly thirty year old LeVar Burton playing a horny teenage boy, then this is the movie for you.

Reptilicus is a fairly standard 60's kaiju movie, except for the fact that it was produced and set in Denmark, which makes it a pretty unique entry for the genre.

Did you know the original The Fast and the Furious came out in 1954 and was written and produced by Roger Corman? It's not very good, but as an historical oddity it's a must watch.

2012's The Ghastly Love of Johnny X is a send-up to old 50's alien invasion and greaser movies. It was only released in two theaters in Texas and grossed $86 in its opening weekend. I was iffy on it (honestly I feel the story falls apart in the second half), but I can see fans of those genres really digging it.

Visitant is a weird low-budget 80's alien invasion movie about an alien couple trying to track down a high school student who stole their ray gun before the invasion begins.

I've seen more but I can't remember them at the moment. Maybe I'll update this post if I think of any.

I really enjoy House II, a very fun movie. Love Gramps & the Cater-Puppy, one of the most adorable animals ever on film!

Nail Gun Massacre...just, an awful movie, where they reveal who the killer is earlier than they should've.

I saw Red Rock West when I took a class in college on film noir. Great movie, I need to pick up a copy.

I almost posted Urban Champion 1,2,3 as mine. No not the shitty NES game. But a series of short films I made in 95 using action figures.

Did it Action League now style.Keeping hands mostly off frame.

Filmed on VHS-c. Urban Champion was a modified Batman89 Toy Biz figure. Who was a mixture of The Tick and Batman.

His car was a kenner Ecto-1 that was missing the driver's side door. Plus the car had been painted black with Yellow highlights. Urban's colors wwas black and yellow.

Urban ,like Batman,had a sidekick. Kato Ken,a Ken Masters figure from that era. Who lived in Urban's guest house and flew around in a repainted Cobra Helicopter.

First short was mostly an intro to Urban.Second one he fought Mumm-Ra,Jackalman and Dr Mindbender. This one I used a buildt in fade effect from the camera to make a figure appear to desolve into a skeleton. Then the third and last one was mostly a protest of Hasbro stopping the Real American Hero line and starting up Sgt Slaughter.

All three shorts got transfered to a VHS tape. Shown to maybe 20 people total. And that tape got lost 2 moves ago.

I might still have the VHS-c tape laying around.But have nothing that will play it.

Most of WWE studio films during the late 2000's early 2010's. They were easy targets to shit on due to the constant air play of trailers and certain quotes (Randy going to the papers, I want my son back etc.) But did anybody really see them? I only saw 12 Rounds and I found it okay. Not great but far from the worst movie I've ever seen.

[agent817]

I forgot to mention this one - "Murderdrome." It's an Australian horror movie about a roller derby jammer who accidentally unleashes a demon. I ordered it through Amazon Prime in 2019. I watched it. It is a really short movie. It was also really cheesy. I think I would have liked it better if there was more to the roller derby theme.

I mean, that stands to reason, the f***er's invisible.

My brother gave this to me like twenty years ago with a lot of other movies, and I don't even know where the hell he got it from:

I was actually at the premiere of this one in New York. Creed from The Office is great in it. It's cool that they literally shot it on the same black and white film that those 50s alien and greaser films used.

Too bad the lead actor, let's call him Tromeo, is an absolutely abhorrent piece of shit. I worked with him during my time in LA, at a place he was fired from for repeated sexual harassment and stealing money from the company. Racist, sexist, homophobic annoying asshole despite the image he attempts to cultivate on Twitter.

It wouldn't surprise me if 'Ghastly Love of Johnny X' did/does what 'Chop' did and, despite him having the lead role, remove his name and image from all the film's releases and ad/promo material.

Fun fact, he was supposed to be a recurring character on Law & Order: SVU for their Michael Jackson avatar Billy Tripole. Unbeknowst to the crew filming the episode, the actor had taken to deep research of the Jackson trials/allegations and the lines he was seemingly improving on the spot were actually direct Jackson quotes. As a result, the episode flew too close to the sun in terms of their "inspired by today's headlines" go into outright word-for-word recreation so they dropped him and his storyline immeadiately after the one episode.

I saw a pile of them. Mostly cause I would find them cheap at thrifts. Watch them once then sell them at the next show. Only one I have held onto besides the two See No Evils was The Chaperone. 2 friends were stunt men in it and my copy is signed by them.

Among the animes that I watched as a child and that probably formed my interest years before I even knew about the term anime, I had the two Ultraman movies (really just spliced together movies from first, the first four episodes and second, from the last four episodes of the Ultraman Jonias anime), Cyborg 009: Legend Of The Super Galaxy (an awesome movie that I still watch from time to time today) and the movies that fit this topic more likely:

Byeolnara Samchongsa (roughly translation: Three Musketeers From Space)



And its sequel, Samchongsa: Taimmeosin 001 (Three Musketeers: Time Machine 001)




Yep, two Korean animes that someone in Germany thought should be dubbed and officially released. 

While they are objectively not that great movies, they evoke some strong nostalgia in me, being goofy movies about three children saving the universe on two occasions.
The highlight of the second one is probably (which I only learned about many years later before I watched that movie) them going to the dinosaur age and that segment inserting footage from, I kid you not, the "Rite Of Spring" segment from Fantasia (without the music, of course).
