RumHam Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 This one never got made, but still: Hungry Hungry Hippos Movie Actually Happening The Lake Placid talk reminded me of Shark Night. You know a movie is bad when no one has bothered to fill in the wikipedia summary ten years later. But basically hillbillys somehow acquired sharks and strapped cameras to their heads and put them in a lake so they could watch teens get eaten.

That's probably the most realistic thing about Lake Placid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right after Ellen Brody flashes back to her husband killing the first shark even though she wasn't there. Though these aren't really problems with the premise of "Shark seeks revenge on a family."

I've only seen the version where it explodes, but we really need to talk about the bloded part. She doesn't just have flash backs of events she wasn't present at, she also has a telepathic connection with a shark that wasn't there either. It's really one of the most absurd movies I've ever seen. My favorite trivia tidbit from the movie is that when Caine was asked about it he said, "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 @Tywin et al. Legend has it the thing that sold Caine on doing that movie was the part of the script that said, "Fade in, the Bahamas". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I read that Nic Cage pocketed around $3-$5m for a few days of shooting Jiu Jitsu. Speaking of which, that film absolutely belongs here and I want the Nic Cage wing opened immediately!

RumHam Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I've heard that Daniel Day Lewis didn't really retire. He's just prepping for Anderson's Face/Off remake. That guy cobbling shoes? Nic Cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not in the traditional movie thread, Brian, we are in the silliest movie premise thread, and how dare you say the movie where two guys get facial transplant surgeries is better than a movie about a hijacked plane, which I'm sorry had some racism in it, but that's pretty low on the list of awful things the convicts do on that plane. Did you expect them to have hearts of gold after the rape and murder aspects of their lives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne Johnson started The Rock gimmick only about a year after The Rock film came out, so there's not much difference there. And I'd put Con Air over Face/Off. Con Air's cast is off the charts.

I'm not sure Con Air could have worked at all if not for the amazing cast. Face/Off has to be the soul of this thread though because Cage and Travolta after peaking in the early 90's have accounted for no less than a third of the movies that belong being mentioned in this thread. It's science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Well if we're gonna talk Travolta and "science," then I suppose Battlefield Earth should be mentioned. But I'm not sure if that belongs in silliest cultish premises ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's science. I've got to say as far as I remember these movies, you've got this wrong. Face off is better than Con-air for a lot of reasons. but first and foremost it takes itself totally dead-child seriously. It get's away with something; a level of suspension of disbelief that only horror movies enjoy. and just like horror movies we rightly pick it apart after. maybe to re-assure ourselves that nic cage won't take our own faces off when we lease suspect it. Con-Air was was also a movie that I saw once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
