You were right. That was it. As soon as I read about the bunyip...I recalled a bit more of it.

Bic mate maybe you know about this tv series that obviously didn't hit it off. Its american and somewhere along the lines the main lead found a magic lamp and out of it came a genie, who happened to be a street-wise afro-american dude.
Its set in modern times or atleast this show aired sometime in the eighties. There may only have been a couple of epsiodes but i can't find it anywhere. I was after the theme, it had lyrics along the lines of" is it , just our luck" quite catchy at the time.
Any ideas?
'Just our Luck' ('82-'83) *LINK*
p.s. I have been calling some wrong shots lately <_< :lol:
ok this one was a cartoon show, but ithad a bunch of people in a small ship flying over what i believe was a city of gold. all aztec egyptiany. came out in the 80s
That was called "The Mysterious Cities of Gold" *LINK*
Monique, glad I could help. :)
Bic, you beat me to it with Mysterious Cities of Gold. :)
Glad I got something right....
I remember it was a great series back then.
You've been pretty spot-on lately chalice. Good going!
okie i got one for you. I dont think it was a movie - might have been a comedy sketch of some sort - didnt think it was very comic at the time tho :(. It was these two guys fighting in a kitchen. The scenes i remember were that one guy got his hand put in a slicer and u saw the slices coming out and also the side of his face scraped with a cheese grater and lemon juice splashed over it... owww not sure i wanna know what this is but its been haunting me for ages :(
thanx :D
That's.............gross!!Quote:

@albinohawk: I concur with hulmey it's probably Bottom, that's the most gross of the options mentioned in the last few posts
I agree.
Ok, I got a new one for you to think about.
Made BEFORE RoboCop, this sci-fi video-first was about some guy who dies but is brought back to life as a cyborg, wearing a sort of chunky body-preserving suit. In one scene, which RoboCop no doubtedly ripped off, the cyborg drags some bad guy out of a room after smashing through a wall and grapping him unawares.
I have a feeling the film was called The Exterminator, but this isn't the 1980 one. This was definitely made in the mid-1980s and was very much in the mould of RoboCop.
Please help: this is driving me mad!
"Eliminators" *IMDb LINK* perhaps?
Ok here is one for you. I believe it involves an athlete that comes home and must save his town or something, from people terrorizing the town orr something like that, or maybe jsut his family. I think he was a football player. I can't remember if he was playing a washed up footbball player or just a real life football player trying to act. But I think it was an action movie. Plot seems kinda lame now but I always wanted to know what this movie is or if I made it up when I was a kid.
do you mean the one where hes in beverly hills and its an evil corporate crooney trying to swindle his company for a billion dollars. And the football guy is trying to hit on a lady who works for a charity perhaps? all i can remember is i think it has beverky hills in the title
@NotoriousBIC: All credit to you finding Eliminators, but I assure you this was no light-hearted adventure. It was pure cutting-edge stuff that Paul Verhoeven could only dream about. I doubt this will ever be resolved!
Are you sure it was an action movie, not a bad horror flick? Cause that reminds me of Brian Yuzna's " Society" with lame actor Billy Warlock ( later seen on Baywatch )...Quote:

Sweet, great idea for a thread guys, now maybe someone can give me a hand figuring out this anime I saw a while back. I remember that it had a chick named "sister Christian" in it, (I think,) and there was a priest and some other folks who fought off evil. I remember the catch-phrase being "testify!" Anyone know the name of this anime? It was funnier than all hell.
Damn, thought that was it. The only thing remotely similar I can find is 'Assassin, but that one has the cyborg as the bad guy...Quote:

Hey guys, excellent thread.
I've been trying to think of this one for ages - American made film i reckon, probably early 80's. I think it was a blend of horror and comedy, though it was more funny than scary.Plot i think involved a haunted house, and there were these two goofy guys who dig up some old guy from his grave (he's still alive) to help them. I really only remember it because it had this weird caterpillar dog thing, it really was quite cute.
any help at all would be great, it's been bugging me for ages.
Hmm, a small guess from memory:
Creepshow IMDb Link
This should be easy:
Its a U.S. movie from the late 1990's (1996/7/8) that spoofs the Godfather trilogy, as well as Forest Gump and others. Full color, NOT animated. I saw it on TV once but forget the title. In the end the main character's wife becomes president of the USA, and starts a peace on earth plan.
Great, thanks for your suggestion i'll check it out.
Mafia! IMDb LINKQuote:

"Run, florist, run!" :lol:
Thought i would bump this up cos people are asking for lost movies B)
good idea.
I was asking about this film in another thread so here it is:
Its a complete predator clone, the alien or whatever it is , is practically identical, even has invisibility and heat vision also at least the end is set in the jungle.
The main guy is hispanic /native american and I thought he might have been in last of the mohicans,but that might be rubbish. He has definitely been in other films though
Not being funny but it wasnt cyborg starring jean claudde was it ?
Only if van damme doesnt survive till hte last 10 minutes. No its not cyborg :)
The only main guy left at the end is the hispanic guy who i reckon was the star and some people who look like they live in the jungle (ie a tribe of some kind) also survive. I only saw the last 5-10 minutes, but it looked shite.
It does sound familiar but like you say its one of those old b movies that no one can remember :blink: Where the hell is notoriousbic when u need him :D
here's one to tax your brains,
american movie, possibly early 80s, man and woman buy house, with sealed up fireplace in the cellar, and she is told not to open it, so she does and little monssters come out, and i can still remember them muttering wait till its dark we'll get her then.
scared the kids to death at the time, but we cant remember the title. would like to see this movie again, i suppose it will look tame now.
critters? :blink:
no the creatures in critters was from outerspace.
oh yeah :blink: doh (_8^(|)
It could be The Ghoulies.
IMDB
callum thats the kitty but i got confused :blink:
i was thinking about ghoulies for that one
guess you are all younger than me if you didn't see it,
it was in colour and shown a few times on british tv,
i can also remember she was sat at the dinig table and when she looked down they were tring to bite her, but of course when she screemed they run, and so her husband never saw them. her husband starts to think she is going crackers,
i think there were about 3 or 4 of them, ugly little sods about 12 inches tall,
i can remember the end of the film, but i wont tell you yet in case the film can be found and any of you watch it
