[scifinoir2] The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th dimension

I've seen the original release of Buckaroo Banzai about dozen times, but this is the first time I have had the pleasure of watching "Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th dimension," this is the director's cut of the movie with additional footage that was added in. One of the key additions to this versio

[scifinoir2] The attack of the James Bond Clones....

I never knew that there were so many James Bond wannabe movies that were made back in the 1960s. Check out some of these trailers. Most of these were made in the same year! Can you imagine the commercials back then? A Man Called Dagger (1967): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogFWyqphNpo&feature=rel

Don't forget Dean Martin as Matt Helm, and James Coburn as Flint, both of which were direct copies of the Bond franchise, though with decidedly more tongue-in-cheek humour added... The closest thing I can think of that's similar to the Bond-clone phenomenon would be all the Bruce Lee clones th

Buckeroo Banzai is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is also the place I first heard my favorite quote: no matter where you go - there you are. Perfect casting all around. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Mr. Worf" wrote: > > I've seen the original release of Buckaroo Banz

Those movies everyone already know about. These are more of the C level movies that were released often by the same companies. This list is only about 1/4 of the movies that were made just in a 2 year period! The whole spy movie craze started in the late 50s but the Cuban missile crisis pushed it

Sometimes the casting of movies seem to be done by the hand of a genius. We sometimes fortunate to see movies where everyone in the movie goes on to become major stars. A good example is Fast Times at Ridgemont High where most of the cast became stars. On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 6:37 AM, Kelwyn wr

I think what they mean is that it can be a robot or human controlled from a base or by someone in the field. The problem is that the bad guys would just need to attack these things to steal supplies. I don't see the bots coming up with ways to figure out how to prevent being sabotaged or robbed. O
