There are a number of films I have seen — really I have — and no one else has. Except Frood in a couple of instances.
One of these is Dead Heat — not a great film, but reasonably amusing. It took us ages to find out what it was called based on some vague memories of a zombie cop film from the late 1980s.
It’s not a good film but I mention it because it proves that sometimes we can find out what these weird-ass films we watch are called. Sometimes. Sometimes we can’t — still don’t know what that weird foreign one with the cow in it was called. But that’s okay because it was foreign and I can’t remember the title.
But sometimes there are films I’ve seen that I just can’t find, no matter what. One of these is the one in which a pair of American fly-boys go to France during WWI to conduct a rescue, aided and abetted by a bunch of RAF nutters who build flying achines out of tractors and assorted farm machinery – and no, it’s not Biggles. That was about the same time as the zombie cops film. It was showing on Sky the same year. It had these enormous floating air mines like spikey barrage balloons. It was fab.
The other is a Transformers movie with a Jimi Hendrix soundtrack. Really.
If anyone out there in LJ/blog land can help me on these, that’d be peachy.
Oh. And can I get Death Machine and Hardware on my region DVD? Anyone? Not from the usual places, as far as I can tell.
