Another random 80's flick:

Wolverines!!!!![/b]

Red Dawn - Bratpackers beat down the commies

JT, that movie is not random, I watch it once a week.

[lewdogg11]

You know what movie was on this morning?

'The Neverending Story'

What an amazing flick.  I felt like I was tripping balls the whole time.  

The little kid was a little puss bag and gets stuffed in trash cans and such, so to beat the bullies, he locks himself in a room at the school and reads a book.  Great premise for a movie.  So the book warps him to Fantasia or some crazy ass place, and Atrayu, a 12 year old warrior with a sweet hair cut, is the main character.  

Atrayu had some amazing adventures on his trip to defeat 'The Nothing'.  'The Nothing'?  Amazing.

'So, what is the enemy's name?'
'The Nothing'
'What is the Nothing'
'I'm not quite sure'
'Sounds great, let's make a movie'

So, there was the mean rock eater who drove on a 200 foot tall big wheel made of rock.  And he ate rocks.  'Save me from myself.'

There was the little elf looking character that ate carrots or some crap and drove around on a huge snail that went wicked fast.

There was a wolf that talked and had glow in the dark eyes.  Scary as hell by the way.

And of course there was the gigantic slow talking sneezing turtle.  Watching the turtle scene is about as painful as watching grass grow int he desert.

Atrayu, after losing his horse in quick sand, meets a flying, talking dog/dragon named Falcour on his way to the oracle.  As a kid I always wanted one of these.

So Atrayu doesn't defeat 'The Nothing' because, let's face it, how do you defeat 'Nothing'?  And Fantasia, where the princess lives gets destroyed.  Except for the castle where the princess is still chilling with a piece of sparkling sand.  So the little kid in the janitors closet yells his mother's name out the window, the princess is saved(she's a cutie by the way) and everything is cool.

As if the move ended there, Falcour is somehow warped to earth, the little doofy kid who got his ass kicked, get to ride Falcour, chases the punks who beat him up through an alley until they jump in the safest place they can, a dumpster.  

I never quite understood this movie completely.  But if you have never watched it, it's highly recommended.  But be careful experimenting with drugs.  This movie could slip you into a coma mixed with the right dosage of prescription meds.

I was saving this one for LD11, but he broke out with the great summary of the never ending story (p.s. what was the mom's name? kid sounded like he had a mouth full of marbles!)... so Gro will have to add this movie into the mix

FLASH GORDON

everything would stop when this movie came on in the Gro household... a must see any time any day.

LD, maybe another summary is in order??

One of the Dawg's favorite 80's flicks was The Lost Boys w/Kiefer Sutherland & a few other characters that Dawg doesn't remember.

Can't forget Iron Eagle either.  Doug Masters getting a crash course on flying from Chappy Sinclair and then rocking out on his cassette walkman to AC/DC to save his dad from the evil Colonel Nakir Nakesh.

Good call Dawg, that movie made me want to sneak over to Hanscom Air Force Base, steal an F-15 fly to Moscow to continue what the Wolverines couldnt finish in Red Dawn.

What it did more though was make me think of how dreamy the main character was in another lost 1980's high-school flick "The Heavenly Kid"

Dam Gro, that might have to go on the netfilx Queue......All I can remember from that movie is FG on some type of platform about to fall off the edge in some orange room.

80's movies even the sucky ones are worth watching. example who has sat through one of the Corey haim  and Feldman movies. Dont be shy. HBO turned most of us into 80's movie absorbing sponges. From My Best Friend's a Vampire to The Goonies and back to anywhere in Shermer Illinois. The only thing I enjoy more than 80s music and movies is when my favorite show makes a reference to them.

a lot of 80's movies you don't even remember their name but you've got 80% of the plot memorized...

like the one about the teenager that gets killed then he comes back as this ghost in a souped up black car and he races all the punks that were in the gang that killed him and all the punks end up crashing and burning but when the medics arrive the kids are all white with black circles around their eyes and that pretty much continues until the entire gang is dead...

anyone see that movie?

+1k for hawks movie & internet skills

[Hawks88]

Hawks hopes he didn't breach any LLPP ettiquette with his first post there but knew what movie Gro was describing and posted quick without thinking. Been lurking here a month or so. Wandered into the east region boards to check out the E8 since my alma mater's 3 year old football team is scheduled to open @Ithaca in the fall. Noticed how many more pages the LLPP had and had to check it out and see what you were talking about and have been getting regular laughs here ever since.  Keep up the work people.

'Gro, i had to look it up, cause I could never figure out the mother's name.  It's 'Moonchild'  Who woulda thunk?  The little dweeb's name is Bastian Balthazar Bux.  Somehow, i knew that!

Ok, so LD11 has to go to the gym, but first, here is my LD11 Hoe Slappin' Movie Review of Flash Gordon.

First off, i remember renting this at 27 Colvin with Enginegro and the boys.  It was as amazing as I had remembered, but slightly more trippy once again.  It's amazing how movies seem so normal when you are kids, but they are all triupped out when you grow up.  Some examples?  Willy Wonka, Neverending Story, Flash Gordon, Last Starfighter, UHF, Wizard of Oz, and so on and so on.  The list could go for a long time.

So in Flash GOrdon, the NY Football Jets quarterback, Flash Gordon gets caught up with some crazy dude Dr, Zarkov and Dale Arden.  I don't even remember how they met.  But Ming is up in his crazy netherworld trying to attack the planet earth.  

I think Ming did it every couple of years and if the planet sent anyone after them, Ming would see them as a threat and destroy the planet.  So it just so happens that Zarkov and his right hand man, Munson, have a contingency plan.  They have a rocket that will ship them to outer space in the case of the earth ending.  Well, after a fight Zarkov, Flash, and Dale Arden all end up on this rocket.

They somehow end up in Ming's palace.  There are crazy robot dudes with masks, a floating talking thing that also videotapes you, and Ming's super hot daughter.  

Well Ming decides to blast the earth.  Flash fights back in one of the most action packed scenes of all time where he uses this huge egg shapped thing as a football and knocks over all of Ming's guards until someone throws it to him and it nails him in the head.  

Flash gets executed by the mean green gas.  Ming's hot daughter brings him back to life and take him to the lizard planet where her boyfriend Baron is the lizard king.  Flash sticks his hand in a tree stump.  Flash escapes.  

Meanwhile zarkov got his brain erased.  It was amazing.  He got to watch all of his memories being erased on screen.  

So Flash ends up at the Palace of Birdman.  Baron comes and they fight on a floating circle.  Flash wins and saves Baron.  They join forces.  Flash kills Ming's boy.  Escapes on a rocket cycle.  

Birdman leader calls him on the rocket cycle.  They all join forces.  They hijack one of Ming's detroyer ships and fly it into ming's palace and kill him during his wedding with Dale Arden.  

Flash Saves the day.  Earth is saved.  Dale is saved.  

My favorite is the scene where the chicks and Dale Arden almost have a crazy orgy on this 25x25 foot bed.

Great movie.  2 thumbs up.
