That last one should be Krull, no ?



edit : Also, what are they gonna have on TV at christmas and new years if they redo all the films before 1999...?

[Dr Mordrid]

No, not Krull.

Kull of Atlantis, AKA Kull the Conqueror, created by Robert E. Howard who also created Conan the Barbarian. Kull the Conqueror was also a 1997 film starring Kevin Sorbo.

There are many similarities and possible connections between Kull, who predated Conan, and the original He-Ro, AKA Lord Grayskull, who predated He-Man.

"They Live" wasn't that a movie where aliens live among us but are camouflaged to look like us, and the only way to detect them is to wear special sun glasses and stuff?

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

That movie has my favorite 80's one line of all time Good old Roddy Piper.

The movie itself wasn't too shabby either. For an 80's action flick staring a WWF (back when it was WWF not WWE) wrestler.

Yeah hehe, that's the one!! I thought it was a good ole flick. Wondering what a remake of that would look like today with all the special effects technologies available.

[Dr Mordrid]

They Live is one of those flicks where 'just enough' effects is more than enough.

It's the story first, folks.

My mistake.
Had never heard of him, then again he probably had a different name over here....

On the subject of remakes.

Rob Zombie should learn that being good at music does not equal a film director.

He ruined Halloween reboot, and the II is a pile of poo too by the looks of the reviews....

My favorite film series of all time....along with the Puppet Masters...
