Any movie with 7 in the title besides Se7en is not going to be 'one of the greatest [anything]'. EVER. And I'm willing to lower my standards in the name of entertainment. BTW, it is pissing me off that whenever a recognizable actor dies, he suddenly gets elevated into "greatness" status. :angry:

It's sad this one (Skin Removal) got attention because there are some truly good shorts available online.

Yes, Die Hard is awesome, but I think they missed an opportunity when they didn't cast Schwarzenegger or Stalone in the lead role. Look at the films that Schwarzenegger has promoted.

Total Recall.

Running Man.

Conan the Barbarian.

The Terminator.

Predator.

Commando.

Raw Deal.

Red Heat.

Eraser.

...and not forgetting...

The Last Action Hero.

As for Stallone, well.

First Blood/Rambo.

Rocky.

Cobra.

Cliffhanger.

Demolition Man.

Judge Dredd.

Assassins.

...and...

Death Race 2000.

[IdolEyes787]

Rocky and it's sequels aren't action movies and many people would argue that True Lies which you omitted was Arnold's best film.Also for Stallone see Nighthawks which is sort of his version of Diehard if Bruce Willis was doing a Al Pacino impersonation and there was no action.

[megabyteme]

Yes, Die Hard is awesome, but I think they missed an opportunity when they didn't cast Schwarzenegger or Stalone in the lead role.

Two reasons why neither of these guys would have worked in Die Hard:

1) Neither would have fit in the tight spaces necessary for hiding in the Takanomi Building

2) The quick-paced dialog that taunts the bad guys could not have rolled off the tongues of either

If you think this car series was bad .... I saw someone posted a list of Sylvester Stallone movies (could never replace Bruce Willis and play in the Die Hard series) and he listed Death Race 2000 and I don't remember seeing it , so I downloaded it and started watching it. After 15min into the movie , not only did I turn it off , I couldn't deleted it fast enough . Now that was un adulterated shit!!
It is 20min (including the download) of life I will never get back.

What do you expect? This film was made in the 70's long before CGI and other special effects were ever conceived. Look at the original Mad Max. No super camera angles there. They simply speeded up the film slightly to enhance the fast speeds those cars were already doing.

The trouble is that kids today expect so much for so little, and when they have to do a little bit of work, they moan like crazy. Whatever happened to sweat and toil?

[IdolEyes787]

I have a feeling that someone doesn't realize that it was a satire.

Hopefully someone will tell me that Furious 7 is also a satire and that no one is suppose to actually buy into the fact that two high powered sports cars can crash head-on into each other at speed and no one suffers even a stretch.
Or that downtown Los Angeles is apparently unpopulated.:mellow:

The budget for that one was limited. The director had to total his own car for one of the chase scenes.

You are not comparing Mad Max (cant watch anymore because of the Star in the movie) , and Stallone's movie?? The Batman tv series with Adam West had way better special affects. The first action scene Stalllone has a Giant ass sword connected to his front bumper , and when he runs into a guy , and they used a can of spray paint on his crotch for blood effects. They could have gotten a low budget horror special effects guy , that could have done a way better job on special effects. Even Dirty Harry series with Clint Eastwood had amazing effects when someone got shot , or blown up.
Mad Max special effects were raw , but it still flowed and was much more entertaining to watch ( when I could , now I choose not too).

[TheFoX]

Yes, but it wasn't Stallone's movie, was it. It was Caradine's movie, because Stallone wasn't even famous when he was in DR2000. It was one of those, 'before they were famous', moments.

If you look at it that way , Yes , you would be right. So I can say that is not one of the best Caradine's movies then. He defiantly had way better flicks to watch with him in it.
All and all... Other than the concept of the movie being used for new updated versions , I don't need to waste space on my server , it would never be watched in full.

Since Caridine stole the role , we will never know the tranquility , or non violent side of Bruce (and I really don't give two shits about it anyways. LOL!!)

You can guarantee that if Bruce was the lead , the series would have lasted past the pilot instead of 3 seasons

Be that as it may, captain dense almost has a point.

I mean, it was Bruce Lee's idea to begin with, which the company stole from him.

Carradine probably didn't know until later.

What the story was about, I'd say, would thus be up to Lee. TBH, I think I'd have preferred Lee in the role. I saw old reruns as a kid, and found Carradine both boring and really out of place.

Ed Spielman is the creator of the 'Kung Fu' series. Any claims to the contrary are incorrect, and an injustice. As a teenager, Mr. Spielman worked as a Page at ABC-TV in New York. He discovered the secret arts of kung-fu in the early 1960s, and he studied Mandarin Chinese in College at night. He spent years doing his research in New York's Chinatown and elsewhere unearthing this heretofore secret knowledge. At that time, kung-fu was not known in the Western world and was denied to non-Chinese. It was taught by master/student relationships and within families. It was never revealed to non-Chinese. But, Spielman pressed on.
By the mid-1960s, Ed had acquired a depth of information, and wrote a forty-four-page treatment for film, TV and publishing titled, 'Kung Fu: The Way of the Tiger, The Sign of the Dragon.' He spent the next few years trying to move it forward to film or television. In 1969, he was introduced to young agent Peter Lampack at the William Morris Agency in New York. Lampack liked the material and made a deal with Warner's executive Bennett Sims in New York.
In February of 1970, Lampack bartered a deal for Spielman and his friend and collaborator, Howard Friedlander, to write a theatrical motion picture screenplay from Spielman's original story. All of this occurred in New York.
At the end of this development, Warner Bros. chose not to make the theatrical film. But, studio executive Harvey Frand had faith in the project, and took it to ABC, which by that time, had introduced a pioneering 'Movie of The Week' format.
The Spielman/Friedlander script was pared down for budget, produced and shown on ABC, February 22, 1972. It was an immediate hit. The iconic 'Kung Fu' monthly-then-weekly series followed...
Undoubtedly, Bruce Lee had his own ideas and aspirations, but that has nothing to do with Ed Spielman's ground-breaking and original work. The Writers Guild of America West awarded sole credit to Ed Spielman as the creator of 'Kung Fu'... And no allegation of Bruce Lee's having to do with the creation of 'Kung Fu' appeared in public until 'The Bruce Lee Story' (1993) in which the allegation was made.
Ed Spielman told me specifically: 'In 1993, I was preparing a major law suit against Universal, DeLaurentis Productions and all of those who were responsible for the false allegations in 'The Bruce Lee Story' to deprive me of the authorship of my work and defame me. But, Bruce Lee died in 1973 and his son Brandon also tragically died in 1993. A lawsuit by me would have fallen on Bruce Lee's widow, Linda. She had lost enough. I didn't think she would have survived those years in court. I thought about it...then told the lawyers to forget about it. The documents speak for themselves for anyone who cares to look...I was greatly disappointed that Bruce Lee did not appear as a principal in the 'Kung Fu' series. But he had nothing to do with its creation. My work and the 'Kung Fu' project was on the East Coast; his was on the West Coast. My work predated his by years. The complete story and characters were registered in the mid-1960s. The documents and contracts prove that.

Not saying that Bruce Lee wouldn't have been more entertaining in the role and that some level of racism wasn't involved in the casting but clearly the show" needed a serene person, and Carradine was more appropriate for the role" holds true or else for better or worse wind up with you have something entirely different than Kung Fu.

But he had nothing to do with its creation. My work and the 'Kung Fu' project was on the East Coast; his was on the West Coast. My work predated his by years. The complete story and characters were registered in the mid-1960s. The documents and contracts prove that.

Not saying that Bruce Lee wouldn't have been more entertaining in the role and that some level of racism wasn't involved in the casting but clearly the show" needed a serene person, and Carradine was more appropriate for the role" holds true or else for better or worse wind up with you have something entirely different than Kung Fu.
That's interesting.

On the other hand you have Linda Lee saying it was Bruce Lee's idea, and Bruce Lee himself going onto some talkshow at least a year IIRC before the show aired and talking about a show he called "Warriors", about a martial artist in the old west.

Like I said, I think I would have preferred a more bombastic Lee in the main role, and yeah, it would have been a very different show indeed.

[shaina]

Except that Kung Fu was as much about juxtapositioning Shaolin monk Caine's tranquility against the violence and I'm not getting much tranquility from Bruce Lee.

Be that as it may, captain dense almost has a point.

I mean, it was Bruce Lee's idea to begin with, which the company stole from him.

Carradine probably didn't know until later.

What the story was about, I'd say, would thus be up to Lee. TBH, I think I'd have preferred Lee in the role. I saw old reruns as a kid, and found Carradine both boring and really out of place.

Even if Bruce made some changes in the story line. Unless he wore his kato mask , in that era , he never would have been accepted for a prime time show . And no producer could have got the funding to make it. It was a white mans world then.

If the rest of the world thought it was a boring show the 62 episodes would have been cut off at 15.

I think that is dense enough explanation for 2nd class lieutenant to understand

The thing about personal preference, is that it is personal preference. Captain.

I have no reason to doubt any of that. The thing is though if you factor in what was happening at the time,it being both the heyday of Martial Arts movies and yet a time when Westerns still held a wide appeal,is it not plausible,even likely that more than one person thought of combining the two?

Personally,not being a patent attorney or someone with something to gain, and as we're not talking Harper Lee here I'm going with the "merely a coincidence".

Of course I could be wrong and when go to register what I think is an incredibly witty and mindblowingly unique username someplace and find that someone's already used it at least now I'll know they stole it.

[IdolEyes787]

Like I said, I think I would have preferred a more bombastic Lee in the main role, and yeah, it would have been a very different show indeed.

As what people remember about the show is basically none of the actual fighting but instead "Snatch the pebble from my hand,Grasshopper" then, yeah.

[IdolEyes787]

On the other hand I don't see Lee being a very good "Bill".

[shaina]

It is true Lieutenant... I really not fond of Reality shows , and who is voting or filling out the surveys ( never seen or received one) to keep them on for years .

I had this assumption that where they do pick the area for voting , they were pumping something In the drinking water to brainwash them.

[shaina]

On the other hand I don't see Lee being a very good "Bill".

What do you mean?? Bruce would have made a great Bill , Bruce's wife kind of looks like Uma Thurman.
And Bruce and Linda always looked great in photos together. The role of Bill will be played by Bruce "Jeet Kune Do" Lee , I like it!!

[megabyteme]

On the other hand I don't see Lee being a very good "Bill".

However, being Asian, he would have been a natural at running people over in Deathrace.

Meg I have a question for you??

How many Black African Americans do you think survive a Half Kennedy?? In a Medical perspective I should add ??

And I should add it was a terrorist or Neo Nazi who was involved..

Shows what you know.He's fucking Kato and his whole character revolves around driving correctly.
The only actor who might possibly have been better in Deadrace is that black guy from Driving Miss Daisy.

Fuck did you even go to film school?

I Give you a half thumbs up on this one

Considering Morgan Freeman has a pretty good portfolio of great movies under his belt , hate to see him dye by the hands of Frankenstein in a bloody car crash.

I got in trouble for referring to such people as "cunts" but if you can't be polite enough to answer a direct question then what are you suppose to be referred to as?

Well In my opinion (which really means fuck all anyways).... You do need a acquired taste to post in certain forums here, and also have to have a very open mind, where some people (like six fuckin hundred) are just not interested. So does that make them C--TS, it is a very hard question to answer , because they will not post nor respond, so I can't comment.:idunno:

[IdolEyes787]

It's not the not posting that's totally understandable.It's to post something and then be too ignorant to follow up on anything said directly to you concerning that post.
You pretend to be Canadian so I'm assuming that you see why this is wrong.

I do know exactly where you are coming from... And I can tell you because I used to be one of those guys :yup:.
It is a acquired taste to post at FST in this section , and I agree and see your point. But you can't scare everyone away before you train them in the way you communicate in the forums , especially the ones you and Meg do dominate and usually control the conversations(that's why I say both of you are really needed here and I appreciate ).You make it scary and fun at the same time if you know what I mean. If either of you take a few days off , you would see the forums full of boring , or full of people with "HELLO's" , get there 10 and not post again, unless they have a problem. And you may not like it, but it is not advertised as a forum talk site , it is a NZB site , and I can say a great place to shoot the shit and have fun in forums without anyone getting shot or stabbed (excluding your friends stalking incident), but that is not most peoples priority , and if everyone is scared away from this great forum , how do you get new ones???
I cant be the only new nut that is willing to post here(and look how I started), but before I started , I was hesitant looking at the way the conversations were here, and believe me some were brutal , and if you are looking from the outside, who in there right mind want to get involved, unless they know the context ,.or really it is fantasy land here.
Just my thoughts What do you think??

[IdolEyes787]

[ especially the ones you and Meg do dominate and usually control the conversations

Only because we seem to be the only ones to post as you've noticed.

Personally I know both me and Meg,especially Meg ,him being fat and lazy would rather just sit back eat fries and be entertained by others but that just does't seem to currently be an option.

I should say Fox is a contender in that group really needed here as well:clap::yup:

Edit: He is very unique..... Even know he doesn't live in Canada or the US
He adds the backwards side of things to FTA:whistling

If I could I`d dock you a post for that.... you`ve just strung some random words together.

My poignant response is "Paste the ceiling with Jello" Are we playing for scrabble or post count points? :D

[JonieDerby]

What's that about? For post count? Are you trying for 10k posts? :)

[ziggyjuarez]

How much do I have?

[Gribley]

One more now....

That is an evil picture, I hope you are not related to the zombie. If you are then please get them to bite Idol first as he deserves it (and probably wants to live forever regardless - if vamp not an option then Zombie always a fallback).

No seriously in all pettiness give me my fucking status back as if you don't count Meg's education, eight years of one's life has got to count for something.
