Escape to the Movies: Leprechaun: Origins - Fool's Gold
- Thread starter MovieBob
- Start date
I don't know, I feel like watching the Scooby Doo thing. Also I liked the look on Link's face. He pretty much like "yeah I'm crusin' what of it this is my rad motorcycle I call it the epona."
Weird. Was really expecting this to be The Giver week. I kinda liked it, some people probably hated it. Even if there weren't review screenings for it there should have been enough time for Moviebob to get there. This just seemed like kinda a waste. Oh well. Thanks for letting me know about a shitty movie I don't have to watch, I guess?
That Scooby Doo crossover sounds awesome for a MST3000ing with a bunch of friends. Also, good to know they can screw up something as simple as a jolly homicidal leprechaun who should steal the show.
Well no need for the eplanation at the end their Mr Bob, I figured it was a slow week after reading the title.
My friend, I have to say in my honest opinion "The Doo" was given the Old Yeller treatment a long time back. My guesstimate is somewhere around the time they introduced Scrappy and began teaming up with Batman & Robin and the Harlem Globetrotters. No, that is more akin to poking his dried up corpse with a cattle prod to make it seem like he is dancing, we will turn our heads to eye the horrifying spectacle but we know he died long ago.psn_habalhabden said:
Leprechaun 4: In Space was originally going to be 'Leprechaun in the Whitehouse' would have come out at the same time as the Lewinsky shenangians as I heard from Brian Trenchard-Smith during a Q&A once.
WWE branching out into film production is a good thing as it means a lot of young directors and people who work in film will get more of a chance to work on things.
I have started to buy some of the films featured in Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films, there sure are a lot of them. Also older Australian movies when they are listed at $5 with an extra $1 for postage as often they end up being deleted and hard to find again.

Link and the villagers and the the Hyrule cup and the Animal cross cup while all neat really annoy me.
Its "Mario" Kart, not "Nintendo" Kart.
This isn't a smash bros game, it's a dang Mario game.
Yes I know Namco Characters have crossed with Mario Kart but that was an arcade game which was made with Namco....so yanno.

You know I've really been looking forward to a review of the Giver but I guess that's not going to happen. Also that Scooby Doo movie was actually pretty fun. Much better than some of their other ones.
And with regards to the Link DLC:

Isn't The Inbetweeners 2 out in the US?
I know British films tend not to do so well in 'Merica (there are exceptions of course, such as Harry Potter) and the fact that the sequel is set in Australia (which don't do well anywhere, except for Crocodile Dundee) so I get why you didn't review it but I thought it was a very funny movie and I liked how it was filmed so close to where I live (Gold Coast, Australia) that I wanted to see if it the comedy translated well in the USA.
I say this because WWE is very American. You rarely, if ever, see WWE advertised here and I couldn't give two shits about it.

1: I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw it as today's review.
2: I didn't know the WWE was officially making movies now.
3: I did always believe that the one thing that Scooby Doo needed was more power-bombs through tables covered in thumb tacks.

Well, my immediate guess is they were hoping to catch some of the magic of El Santo. El Santo is perhaps the most famous Mexican Luchadore of all time, and allegedly books based on him as a super hero are some of the best selling novels in Mexican history. He's also had comic series based on him, and was in a pretty massive number of movies where he would travel around using his mad wrasslin skills to fight monsters and criminals. Only a few of these movies have been translated into English (Hulu had some of them though, which is when I first noticed them).shintakie10 said:

I'm not a huge fan of Wikipedia, but that lists his movies and as you can see there were a lot of them, and apparently going by the numbers they were pretty successful for their audience.
I think WWE has been trying to do something similar, but hasn't quite figured out the right mechanism to bring it's characters into movies. That whole "Pro-Wrestlers Vs. Zombies" thing sounds almost like an El Santo movie, and I mean indeed his second movie is indeed "Santo Vs. The Zombies". The thing is though that WWE hasn't really had a character that has captured the imagination quite the same way or been promoted in this fashion. Typically they have had a Wrestler play a role in another movie, as opposed to basically sayin "John Cena is now a super hero, and we will have movies chronicling his cheezy adventures outside of the ring" probably in part because of the nature of the business where having a guy who is just flat out invincible wouldn't work, El Santo lost very few matches and when it did happen it was a BIG deal.... and of course you need an audience who would be entertained by a plot like "Superhuman pro-wrestler who runs around in costume 24/7 breaks down outside a haunted castle, enters as the cult inside summons Cthulhu, and then lays an epic wrasslin smackdown on all of them... never before have you seen Great Cthulhu pile
driven so many times by one man..."
At any rate I'm guessing the Wrestlers doing that movie were hoping something that cheezy would get similar results. Roddy Piper in particular seems to have been willing to ham it up in movies... and to be fair, he did become quite iconic in one John Carpenter movie. That old "I'm here to chew some bubblegum, and kick some ass!" line? That's Roddy.
thanks bob for raping my brain ... first with that opening "rap" and then by letting me know of the scooby doo wwe cross-over ... my brain will never recover from that nightmare ...
