I bet the budget of "The Last Dinosaur" was so low they couldn't afford Ray Harryhausen (sp.?).

As I understand it, the film was a joint US-Japanese studio production; hence, the use of the man-in-a-rubber-suit technology, by then a staple of the Japanese monster-movie industry. If you're gonna make a giant monster movie with dudes in suits, you may as well go to the best!

The "best" actually being the worst in this case.

At least the guy in the rubber suit looks better then that bug eyed, mohawk sporting, chicken monster...

"...it's as big as a battleship!" :lol:

How about Yor Hunter from the Future. Had the best theme song too. He never sees the sun, he's always on the run. Gonna make them white bees look tame tonight.

You should know. Besides, it was rumored that you starred in that movie, which doesn't surprise me at all..

Cute, real cute.

No bet necessary. Vader would Force Choke the lot of them.

Wow, I had NO idea of the DEPTHS that these guys would sink to in making truly crappy films. It's like they're trying to dethrone Troma Films or something as the absolute (best) worst movie makers of all time. :blink:

Sherlock_holmes_by_asylum_film_poster.jpg

As if this description of one of their latest toilet-bowl-floaters isn't hint enough:

"No, we didn't overdose on ether and photoshop together the fever-nightmares: That is the real poster for Asylum film's rip-off of the Robert Downey, Jr. movie. Apparently, Holmes' greatest accomplishment wasn't solving some kind of pussy mystery with stupid gay logic; it was that time he punched an Octopus in the tits, mounted a T-rex, and ghost-rode that poo into a farting dragon. Don't believe us? Here's the trailer:"

Honestly, I wouldn't mind working for these guys. That'd be like a f'ing irreverent badge of pride or something. Could bust up in practically any Hollywood bar scene, throw your leg up all Captain Morgan style, and proceed to brazenly hit on pretty women. "...yeah that's right baby. I make movies. I work for Asylum Pictures."

Okay, I keed! I keed! <_<

They got Dominic Keating/Malcolm Reed to be in their movie? It's sure been a while since Enterprise got canceled.

I liked how Watson described this story as something he left out about Holmes' career in the trailer. But how are you supposed to keep a story involving a T-Rex, a dragon, and octopus destroying a city secret?

Oh, now see; you went and used logic, and just plain common sense--which is apparently MISTAKE #1, when it comes to trying to watch ANYTHING by these guys. :p It seems that expecting anything like a coherent plot, or consistent story/character details is just setting the bar way too high for Asylum. I nearly LOL'd when I read the description for 100 Million BC.

ed: honest to God, I thought Snakes on A Train, the followup to Samuel L's airborne stinkfest, was just another internet myth. But Dear Lord! It really does exist!

Sometimes I kinda think we are living in a sort of parallel universe, a bit like in the Arnie film (someone remind me what its called) where he is a movie character that comes to life. That and every dream dreamed or book ever written is somewhere real in some alternative reality.

In our reality Hollyweird decides to make it real. So we add to that messed up dimension/parallel universe.

I'm gonna eat loads of cheese and go to bed and dream up the next block buster.

The Last Action Hero

I'm sort of assisting another author on their MacF fanfic that kinda plays on what you were suggesting about alternate realities coming into existence when we create them... He seems to be adamant that it's a good story idea. It all depends on the final product and how its executed as to how good it comes out.

I hope you're not thinking like that because Arnie ended up as governor of California or something. :lol:

See if you dream it it will become.....

I think with the right story it would be a good idea. The BBC used it in the Final episodes of Red Dwarf, They had the characters come to our reality where they found out they were actors on a t.v program. A lot of creative fun could be had with that type of story.

Now what would be great was if Arnie had been replaced by a T101 from the future intent on destroying mankind the slow way, errm come to think of it that would fit in well with the terminator T.V series.

Don't forget that part in Demolition Man where they mentioned amending the Constitution so Arnie could be President.... lol. We got real close there, too! *whew!*

His solution to that problem was amusing though. Am I one of the few people in this world that actualy like this movie? (Note - I do not claim it is a good movie, I just happen to like it)

That was also basically the finale to "Eerie, Indiana" if anyone remembers that show. :lol:

I also loved Demolition Man. I couldn't stop laughing at that part when he just keep cursing at the little machine to get some "paper". All throughout the movie, anytime someone would swear, you'd hear that little klaxon go off somewhere in the background. Nice touch...

"Be well, John Spartan..."

"Be well??! Be f---ed!"

So I decided to watch Battle Beyond the Stars. The moment I read Roger Corman's name in the intro, I realized what I was in for.

I think I enjoyed watching Flesh Gordon more than that movie.

I loved Flesh Gordan, "The pain, the embarrasement, the Hemroids".

And actual One Eyed Snakes... (OK - been a while, they might not have been snakes per say, but the sound effect when they blinked their eye was priceless).

So thats how it ended I never got to see the last few.

Its really funny how at 1:18, the blood comes out of her mouth at *exactly* the same moment as when she is stabbed in the stomach.

Oh come on! The best part of that was the bungee jumper at the end. That made me laugh!

The bungee jumper was deliberate humor, the bit I mentioned was absolute stupidity......
