  5. What is the name of that 80s movie with that death-defying obstacle course that the big "overlord" character(the one attached to the ceiling by all the tubes and stuff) forces the main character to go through?...if you need more description, I guess you don't know the flick I'm asking about, but I really can't remember the damn name!

    1. Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone??

      Bounty hunter Wolff and his annoying sidekick Nikki search for three damsels in distress on a war ravaged planet. They do battle with mutants, mermaids and hang-gliders before facing Michael Ironside hamming it up magnificently as the metal armed Overdog. Watch out for the deadly maze near the end, full to the brim of acid, flames and swinging blades. Oh, and it was all in 3D originally.

  6. I don't know! It sounds really familiar, but I am picturing the bad guy from Dune, which is throwing me off...

  7. One of my favorites is Hell comes to Frog town.
    Another shot in the dark here, I've been searching for a post apocalyptic movie from probably the 80's it had radiation clouds, a dude saves a dog from a dog eating restaurant of some sort and I believe there were cigarettes (Not Screamers) that counteracted the radiation. One scene I kind of remember had a motorcycle getting crashed because someone threw a stick or broom handle into the spokes. It was good or at least I thought It was I was probably 10 or so at the time. Thanks
