QuoteReplyTopic: Old Bad Movies... Posted: November 24 2011 at 1:52pm
After hearing a lot of stories about it through the years... I finally got the chance to see Intensive Care (1991).... and it was fun....
I really need to recommend this to everyone who loves bad movies.... It's just such n over-the-top and technically inedequite movie... With every scene more far fethed as the next...
It saidly isn't widely available... I found it on youtube in parts in unsubtitled Dutch... I however did find a trailer in English... link
After re-watching the video, I'm not sure if they're reviewable. As much of a cruel-hearted bastard that I am, I really can't make fun of animals, specifically dogs! Don't worry, I'll be reviewing a "dog" of a movie on Sunday: Dylan Dog!
That's a shame.... I visited the site today just so that I could read this review...
To be fair... The amount of animal cruelty that went into making the movie is far worse than the "cruelty" of reviewing a film like that....

It may have been me... but I was really bothered by these dogs acting like humans... It goes beyond those talking animals... and I was especially disturbed by the seduction/sexual-stuff (like the belly dancing-scene)... It feels like a form beastiality... To me at least...
I didn't know that it was part of a series... I found this film as a special feature on The Broadway Melody-DVD (I am busy collecting all the Best Picture-winners on DVD)...
I found another one on Youtube named So Quiet on the Canine Front... which I liked a lot more... and found it less disturbing...
I accept any requests to watch movies,but I can't guarantee I'll review them.And I don't review short films.But I can give you my thoughts.
At first it was fascinatingly creepy,then just plain weird,and then boring...and that was just the first half!This is a good example of a problem that still exists today:Making movies without thinking first who'll be the target audience.Who's the target audience here?We have animals talking singing,but there are adult themes as well.And considering this was made in 1930...
I'm pretty sure the part where the dogs yawned had to be improvised because the dogs yawned and they didn't want to waste footage.
Can you believe this was part of a series?And can you believe the directorswould later work on 3 Stooges movies?
Here's one... The Dogway Melody... This 17-minute short film
stars an all dog-cast... and it's creepier than any Mo-Crap Animation
movie you'll ever see... but somehow I kept watching out of a strange
form of fascination....
I don't know if members like SchumacherH8ter and Vits accept review-requests... But if so, I would really like it if you gave this one of your reviews...
TERROR OF TINY TOWN is indeed a little dull (mostly because of the bad acting) but it's no more "unwatchable" than some of those early John Wayne-films!
I thought it was cornier than Iowa...

You have to love that scene near the end of The Babe Ruth Story where Bendix/Ruth is in the hospital dying, and his fans are gathered outside his hospital room singing a hymn-like rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." That is bathos of the highest order. It is probablys some sort of tribute to just what an enduring icon Babe Ruth is that his fame has survived not just one, but two awful bio-pics.

I know in another thread I threw out The Babe Ruth Story starring William Bendix...which was so sickeningly sugary that diabetics would need to turn it off after three minutes...

I like to introduce all of you to a brilliant classic movie.
Sam Newfield's 1938 western-musical The Terror of Tiny Town
This film was the first of it's kind, because it's the first film film to star an all midget cast (i mean little people, it's introduced as an "all midget cast").
These right, singing little people riding shetland pony's.
If you have some spare time in the weekend , I'd give it a watch (it's only 60 minutes long).

Enjoy!
P.S. HeadRAZZ: you seem to be the expert on these kind of films. Had you ever heard about this one?
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Indeed I have, and we have listed it as our Worst Movie on Basic Cable item a number of times -- I believe it was also listed in one of the Medved brother's WORST FILMS OF ALL TIME books.
Personally, I found the film's concept far more amusing than the actual film itself. For the curious, here's a LINK to the IMDb page for TERROR OF TINY TOWN.
I watched "Fair Game" (the failed Cindy Crawford star vehicle movie) because I felt like torturing myself last night. It's 15 years old, so there's no Internet or cell phones, so I guess that counts as being "old". Wow, that was the most formulaic movie ever! You can almost picture the screenwriter as he typed the "script" up while saying "Okay, a bad one-liner here, here, and here. An action sequence every 10 minutes. Pointless sex scene there. And no less than three major explosions! Okay, done deal!". It was like a Michael Bay movie before Michael Bay got into the business.
The Four Horsemen of the Moviepocalypse: uncalled for sequels/remakes/reboots, 3-D surcharges, untalented "celebrities", and anything with Michael Bay's name attached to it.
My favorite "D" movie has to be "Flesh Gordon", I only wish I still had the copy that was given to me. My neighbor worked at a video store and would bring home an even dozen movies to preview every Friday night. When they couldn't sell or even give away titles, the store let the employees have them for free. I got a copy of "Flesh Gordon" to go with my Flash Gordon collection and now I can't find it! I suspect foul play.
Response from head RAZZberry: If you wanna replace your copy of FLESH GORDON, here's a LINK to the page for it on DVD and/or on VHS at Amazon. The VHS can be had for around Ten Bux...
YOR! Now there was a bad movie done really, really bad!
I remember renting this tape way back when, and the bad taste still clings to the back of my throat like the memory of a romance that went sour. Yor couldn't fight his way out of a soggy paper bag with holes in it. His sword looked like it was made of the cheap plastic they used when making toy swords. He seemed to have come from a future where every man dressed in designer furs from some pimp's closet!
