It sure is! The highlight for me, though, is when JCVD bites the rattle off a rattlesnake to create a silenced rattlesnake and kills a guy with it.

Looking for a movie where there's a scene of somebody alone in a bathroom staring into the mirror and then shaving their head. I feel like this scene has been in a bunch of different movies I'm just blanking on them.

EDIT: ^^^ Goddammit!! Ah well, more people need to see The Royal Tenenbaums, so this goon is alright. fletcher posted:Looking for a movie where there's a scene of somebody alone in a bathroom staring into the mirror and then shaving their head. I feel like this scene has been in a bunch of different movies I'm just blanking on them. The Royal Tenenbaums, when Richie finds out that Margot has been cheating on Raleigh with a bunch of guys, including Eli. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg6EXX011rs I've always wondered why Richie says 'I'm going to kill myself tomorrow', but then just does it right there. Anyone? edit: Oh, nevermind... from the commentary (copy-pasted from a site discussing Anderson answering this question): quote:Anderson mentions confusion he has heard from audience members about Richie’s line “I’m going to kill myself tomorrow” followed by him slitting his wrists. The director explains it’s a line taken from Le feu follet or The Fire Within, a Louis Malle movie, which Anderson notes was a huge influence on The Royal Tenenbaums. He explains this was a “turn” Richie makes and decides then and there to kill himself immediately. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Aug 24, 2016 |

Belgian movie about a woman whose son kills himself after getting molested by priests, sending her into a priest-killing rampage. Came out a year or three ago.

Edit: Crap didn't realize you said shaving their head, in Aliens 3 Ripley already had the shaved head.

I want to revisit a Hong Kong-movie I saw once, but I can't remember the title! It's probably from the 80s, but could possibly be from late 70s. The settting is "feudal China". In the final battle against the bad guy, a falcon helps the heroes. In the last moments of the film, the bad guy grabs the falcon and tears it apart. It's a real bird getting torn apart. While he does this, one of the heroes kicks the villain in the back, followed immediately by freeze-frame and ending credits.

Action/horror movie where a squad of heavily armed bank robbers DB Cooper from a heist and hole up in a farmhouse to be picked off one by one by animate scarecrows. I'd say from the 2000s and low budget.

Weird 80s scifi about a modern day guy sent back to the old west. The outlaws in the movie get freaked out by his motorcycle, and the lead bad guy gets killed by the tail rotor of a helicopter, leaving just a bloody pair of cowboy boots.

A clip I saw as a kid that scared the poo poo out of me, would have been in the late 80s, but the movie could be older than that. A guy is walking back to his cabin in a jungle, but when he gets there, he sees... So, I thought they were zombies as a kid, but as an adult I feel like what I probably saw was actually a tribal people painted white, walking around in his cabin.

Looking for a movie I saw in the mid 90's (it was most likely made in the 80's) as a kid where iirc a man in a car is chasing after someone in a black car that has a sunroof and extremely tinted windows. A woman stands up and screams for help from the car being chased, but the driver somehow loses control and the car goes off a cliff...But then returns unscathed almost immediately after. Any ideas?

A french movie from the 80s I think, where a man lures a doctor into the African desert to kill him because he blames the doctor for his wifes death. There is a scene where they cross a ravine in a small cable car.

There is a movie from the 1970s or '80s that I have been looking for years, but Google is becoming less and less useful for the purpose of finding these things as time goes on and more 'The 15 Best Endings!'-articles appear in every search instead. I'm specifically looking for the closing credits scene, where the unsuspecting main character (a very shady politician of some kind, if my memory serves me right) has been lured into the passenger backseat of a taxi cab and is held at gunpoint by a man in the front while the car drives away. After a few moments, the camera switches to a frontal shot of the main character for the final minutes of the film, who visibly goes through several emotional states as he contemplates his almost certain impending death. The credits are rolling during this entire time. I thought that this was a brilliant way to end a story, and the scene has been stuck in my mind ever since, even though I seem to have forgotten everything else about it!

I agree, but judging from those lists, the Z-grade 'journalists' that write them appear to prefer the endings of superhero movies made in the last ten years or so. Which is why I was never able to find this wonderful thing again until now!

Really weird request. The 2000 Dungeons and Dragons movie is notoriously bad but I once saw a hilarious compilation of clips involving a minor background character who for some reason was pulling stupid faces the whole time. But I cannot for the life of me find it.
