The Warriors Movie Site Forum

this is a thread dedicated for those obscure movies you come across that are super dope but no one ever hears about.
heres a few that i think are kind of obscure and worth watching...

equilibrium
ong bak thai warrior
mean guns

if anyone comes across some ultra violent pain of death, plot twist i was never expecting, i can't believe how fresh that movie was, how come nobodies ever heard of this type of flick, please post the titles here. oh and write up a small review if you got the time.

Interstate 60! Still not available on DVD in the UK!!!!

My Little Eye.

5 young people are in a big brother type enviroment with a prize of $1mil if they all stay in the house.

They start to wonder what is ging on when a man turns up and tell them that he has never heard of the show.

Um......

Sword of Doom?

what kind of movie is it?
a thriller? action? comedy? drama?


i should've also posted about the 3 movies i listed...

equilibrium - action sci-fi, starring christian bale(new batman), take place in the future, where the human population has changed for the worse. think if the nazi's were to have children with vulcans. the plot sucks but the action is unreal

ong bak thai warrior - kung-fu action to the fullest! theres no words to describe the awesomeness of this flick. and no, this is not another my teacher is murdered so i must avenge him flick. the stunts are off the hook. its a foreign flick so you have to endure some subtitles.

mean guns - action and ultra violent, starring chirs lambert(highlander), some dude i don't know, and cho-san(karate kid part 2), cameo by Ice-T. all the hardcore criminals get locked in a jail and offered a big cash prize, one catch, there can be only one winner.

I'm with you on Ong Bak.
I was freakin' amazing and utterly impressed by Tony Jaa's moves.
The fight scenes are like no other, my dad, brother, and I were just "aweing" every move Tony pulled off.

Ong Bak was really good.

I was just disappointed that Tony Jaa isn't really amsrtial artists in the truest sense. He dabbed a little in martial arts, but only when his role in Ong Bak was confirmed did he actually start doing Muay Thai. Still great stuff though.

Wasn't it nasty when the saw dude broke Humlae's arm? It was nasty, but it made me really happy when Tony broke that sucker's leg in two. :badgrin:

Equilibrium was an excellent movie. That and American Psycho are my favorite movies of Christian Bale. Brotherhood of the Wolf was another favorite that was not given the proper attention.

Others:
Ed Wood
Buffalo '66
Fear
Night Watch

I've got quite a few

Friday (all-black comedy starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker as two mates who spend a day smoking weed)

Boondock Saints (super-cool gunfight movie about two Irish dudes who take on the mob. Plenty of violence.)

A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2 (heavy-duty Hong Kong action dramas with great gunfights)

Brazil (weird movie which I'm particularly fond of about a society where everything goes apeshit)

Repo Man (another weird movie like Brazil about a car with a radioactive corpse in the boot that's worth $20,000)

Clerks (funny-ass low-budget comedy with great dialogue)

Will come up with more later. I have heaps.

the vault

based in some high school in america.his vault in the celler unhearths evil spirits that kill most of the students.the caretaker/security guard is a ghost himself and even he gets bumped off.

its a wierd story with a twist in the way of how they get rid of the evil spirits.

Sword of Doom - I just rewatched it and did a body count -- 115 people get wasted, 90 by the main character alone

Kill! - another fun samurai flick

Deathrace 2000 - seriously people...they line up old people....in front of a hospital........they run them down in cars with spikes in the front......AWESOME

Mad Max - though pretty well known, doesn't get the recognition it deserves for it's photography

Versus - it dissolves into crapulence later on, but the first half is a fun stylish zombie kung-fu romp

The Big Red One - great

mr. USA - hard to find, but a wierd parody

And for a more mainstream wrap-up.....
Solaris
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Basically any non Seven Samurai Kurosawa film
Mean Streets
Who's That Knocking at my Door?

Though to be honest I wouldn't recommend Equilibrium, (i hate that kind of gunplay) I liked how direct and fast the ending katana part was.

more to come......

The Boondock Saints in my opinion. One great movie!

[hater]adds mad new movies to netflix list[/hater]

LOTRC,
the american psycho movie was kind of bleh IMO, the book was a billion times better. if you haven't read it already, i definitely suggest picking it up.

Yeah, that was sick, I thought when Tony ended up with the saw in his forearm/wrists was pretty gross.

Versus is very nice, it is also very funny.
Brazil is very strange, then again it was made by one of the Monty Python dudes.
