Seeking old VHS film "A Savage Hunger"

[IdolEyes787]

(I don't really know much about Chris Makepeace, A lot of people seem to rate him, but he's only been in a couple of film's afaik)

Makepeace was a Canadian child actor who starred in a couple pretty famous movies,:Meatballs- a summer camp movie notable that it was a vehicle for a young Bill Murray worth a view if you like him -also Meatballs became a bit of a franchise( of rapidly decreasing quality ,the first one being by far the best) and My Bodyguard which is notable for as far as I know being the first film appearance of Adam Baldwin,who you would probably know as Jayne Cobb from Firefly/Serenity or John Casey on Chuck.

I know Adam Baldwin from several movies, but I've never seen Firefly...Heard it's pretty damn good though. I Might just DL the first season & start on that tonight. Hell, I might even watch this one, even though it doesn't really look like my cup of tea.

Also Cinemageddon is well worth belonging to if you like oldish 60's -80's or b-movies in general.
It's got a reputation of being the home of schlock but there's a lot more to it than that.
There are Hidden Gems,Adventure and Martial Arts sections and you can find a lot of stuff there that you can't find any place else as people there appreciate movies and actually root out stuff.

Some of the members do scare me though.

I resemble that remark

Yeah, I would highly recommend CG. Lot's of unusual & hard-to-find things there. Karagarga is another one that's good for non-mainstream things, & also lots of documentary's.

Baldwin's been in a ton of stuff,another one is Angel.He's one of those actors that people immediately reconize even though they probably couldn't tell you his name to save their life.

I resemble that remark

Well you should,bro,well you should.

Also thanks for doing the nice thing for the wank.

No problem

Every time I see Adam Balwin, I think of My Bodyguard, even though I think most people identify him with Animal mother & Full Metal Jacket

He was also in Independence Day, although it wasn't much more than a bit part. He's never been a lead man in any movie that I'm aware of though. Not sure about his TV appearances...

This is a weird one teflon05.., I don't usually have any problems at all, spped was very good, took just over 7 mins to download, but after each download I get this error,:

'C:\_2_burn\uk weather\The Oasis (1984).avi' - The transfer of this file was unsuccessful and resulted in a corrupted file. It is recommended to restart this transfer.

within the program it says this..

227 Entering Passive Mode (x,x9,x2,x1,x3,x3). (I put in the x's)

Let me have a quick look at the file, as there is a chance there's nothing wrong with it....
