"Name That Cult Movie"- Return of the Answers

Here they are; the answers to this week's game! I'll admit, number five was pretty tough... you'd probably only get that one if you're a complete zombie movie geek like me. I also realized I'm missing a Vincent Price quote this time... blasphemy!

1. "Tear down that bitch of a bearing wall and put a window where one ought to be!"- Mommie Dearest. The ultimate scenery-chewing movie. I had to use a slightly more obscure quote, as I'm sure everyone would have easily guessed "No wire hangers ever!!" This movie is full of classic dialogue, though... probably one of the most quotable movies ever! I've heard that Faye Dunaway gets very testy if you mention this movie around her, so if you ever happen to run into her...


2. "Now I am here, sent to bring you home."
"Home? I have no home. Hunted... despised! Living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people! A race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world!"- Bride of the Monster. Ed Wood's horror masterpiece; this speech was brilliantly re-created by Martin Landau in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. I was so happy when he won the Oscar (Although they cut off his speech before he could thank Lugosi. Snort. Harrumph.).

3. "Those guys ain't even giving us a hard look."- I Married a Monster from Outer Space. This is a great little black & white sci-fi shocker; I highly recommend giving it a look if you're a fan of this stuff at all. It was just recently released on DVD; Netflix has it. It has some pretty risqué dialogue, and some interesting ideas about marriage and sex, considering this came out in the 50's. The effect when one of the aliens takes over the body of a human is pretty nifty, too.

4. (While searching an abandoned boat, the character finds a bamboo steamer) "This boat had a Chinese crew!"- Frankenfish. A Sci-Fi channel original movie that went to DVD, this is actually a fun little flick. A big honking mutant fishie chomps a bunch of people in the bayou. That's pretty much it, plot-wise, but it's a great popcorn flick, and has some pretty good (intentional) laughs sprinkled throughout. I love this line, too... of course, only a Chinese crew would use a bamboo steamer!

5. "Shoot her, man!"
"I can't shoot her! She's my friend! I...uh...lost my virginity to her."
"Man, everyone knows your first time sucks! Split her damn head open!"- Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis. Here's my five-cent review:

[Fred Flintstone] Huh-boy. [/Fred Flintstone]

You gotta love a zombie movie that breaks it's own set-up zombie rules several times within the same scene.

No, wait, you don't.

Featuring scenes actually filmed at Chernobyl! With really badly dubbed actors! And that's about it! Seriously, this was a real stinker...and the quote I used is pretty much the only bit of slightly clever dialogue in the flick. But, hey, it had zombies.

6. "We're Americans! We've never lost a war!"
"What about 'Nam, sir?"
"'Nam? We lost that war at home, Sonny."- The Stuff. "In mother Russia, ice cream eats you!" Some white foamy stuff burps up out of a crack in the earth; some doofus tastes it, finds it to be delicious, and markets it as America's newest dessert! There's just one problem... it's alive! And it's hungry! Man, I love this movie.

7. "I thought you said that if we destroyed the brain, it would die!"
"Well... it worked in the movie!"
"Well, it ain't working now!"
"...You mean the movie lied?"- Return of the Living Dead.- Seriously, the other one was so bad, I had to put this in just to remind myself that there was a good movie that spawned those horrible sequels. One of the best zombie flicks, ever.

8. "These do bring back memories. This one is still warm. What is it? The recollections of a great lover? A catalog of conquests? We will soon find out. You wouldn't appreciate that, would you, Mr. Whatever-your-name is? Not the sort of conquest you would ever understand. Let's see... a touch of unhappy childhood... a dash of teenage rebellion... and last but not least, a tragic death in the family."- Dark City. One of the best films of 1998. And that's all I'm going to say... anything more, and it would be giving too much away. If you haven't seen it, definitely rent it... but go into it cold... you'll be confused, but everything will make sense in the end. Roger Ebert also felt this was a spectacular, yet criminally underrated and ignored film; he gives an excellent commentary on the DVD.

9. "You know what I need? I need a drink. There's some ice and stuff back there. Why don't you make us all some Old-Fashioneds?"
"Old-Fashionds? Do you think you oughta drink while you're flying?"
"Stop kidding, will ya, and make us some DRINKS! You just press the button back there marked "BOOZE!" ...It's the only way to fly! Ha ha ha!"- It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Hell, this is my motto whenever I'm on a plane! Thank you, Jim Backus!

10. "It stinks!"- Pod People. Yes, it does. A favorite of MST3K fans. Trumpy, you can do magic things!

That's it... hope you enjoyed the game! Thank you for playing... we have some wonderful parting gifts for you!
