greetings, fuckin losers. my name is forums poster dickeye. I like bad movies. i don't mean that fuckin pissbaby Sharknado asylum bullshit where everyone's winking at you going "EH?? EH?? GET IT??? ITS BAD!!!!!" i mean bad fuckin movies, movies that are incomprehensible and strange and you just don't know how they exist i also like weird movies, movies normal people have never heard of, on a level beyond like "oh man check out this deep cut from a famous guy" bullshit. i also like sharing these things with people. i used to stream things on a regular basis. i'm too lazy to do that now, though, so i decided to start throwing poo poo on youtube and posting a thread every month, kinda like movie of the month but weirder this month i decided i'm gonna tell you all about the strangest fuckin movie i've ever seen: Magic Lizard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aDOj43mPnQ Magic Lizard is a thai movie, about a magic lizard. it has blatantly stolen footage from Ultraman in it, and illegal footage of the royal family. i have no way to explain the plot, as there are no subtitles and according to native thai speakers, the dialog is all loving gibberish anyway. it's 103 minutes of fuckin insanity and the hijinx of a magic lizard. a water buffalo poops, on screen. i dont remember anything else from this, because my brain blocked it out in self defense. please, join me. share in my pain. watch Magic Lizard: The Lizard Magic Story

Best part of the film is that the plot is actually resolved when he awakens the statue to fly into space, like 10 minutes in. Rest of the movie doesn't have a plot, just a bunch of unrelated vignettes of Magic Lizard and/or random Thai actors being complete goofuses. The film is magic. Lizard Magic.

I showed some friends Hausu recently and they were blown away but doubted if anything could live up to it. Is this it? Is it the answer to my prayers?

No, it's seriously that bad of a film. Pretty sure when we first watched it with Dickeye, we had to convince each other to keep going like a suicide pact.

The thing about House is that it's actually really good, and the overall narrative makes sense and has some interesting things to say about the really stark generation gap in Japan at the time. On one side you had an older generation scarred by the horrors of war, and on the other you had a youth culture that had absolutely no concept of the wartime experience at all, and only saw it in terms of romantic fairy tales if it thought about it at all. Nobuhiko Obayashi saw an older generation so warped by its past traumas that it was consuming (literally in the movie, via a piano among other things) a younger generation that regarded its elders' defining experiences with total incomprehension. House just goes about telling that story in a completely hambananas way (including turning that dude into actual bananas.) It intentionally broke every written and unwritten rule of Japanese cinema of the time, and it owns. Magic Lizard is more like a flaming 55 gallon drum of pig poo poo with some Roman candles buried in it that go off intermittently and give off plumes of dizzying fumes.

Who are these guys? Why are they in a cave talking to skeletons? Where is and what does this have to do with Magic Lizard. All questions never answered in the film Magic Lizard.

The Magic Lizard is the only movie I can think of where the entire story happens off screen while a completely unrelated character just dicks around doing nothing of any consequence while screaming at anything. Also a water buffalo shits in his mouth. It's not a special effect, they just had an animal poo poo into the mouth of the giant talking lizard. This really happens.

CPL593H posted:I believe it was some kind of bear. Haha yes that's it, I love it because it gets really uncomfortable watching the baby bear hold on to a tree just in the, "I'm definitely watching animal abuse" sense and that just builds until out of nowhere a guy in the most insane bear outfit possible catapults in

Speaking of animal abuse, don't forget that the whole reason the buffalo shits in Magic Lizard's mouth is because Magic Lizard anally penetrated it with his tail. I'm using spoiler tags not because this is a pivotal scene in the movie, but because I don't want to ruin the Magic for anyone who wants to go into the movie blind.

I can't imagine watching this movie alone sober somewhere. Why would you do this. This movie requires an audience.

Somewhere, someone might actually have a copyright for the Magic Lizard. I imagine that if this is true then that person is probably no one good.

Or maybe Germany knows better than to even consider watching Magic Lizard. I can't say they're wrong.

Look, I was at the dickstream where we watched this, and whatever psychological defenses I have left blocked most of it out, but for some reason I feel there's some Nazi paraphernalia floating around in it. gently caress me if I'm going to double check though, once was enough.

The swastika predates the Nazis by a very long time and the original symbol is still a thing you see in Asian cultures. I kind of vaguely recall there being swastikas somewhere in the movie.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Chaiyo Productions ("chaiyo" is Thai for "bravo" or "hurrah"), founded by director/producer Sompote Saengduenchai AKA Sompote Sands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sompote_Sands http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0762369/ Sompote Sands youtube playlist If you loved the crazy crocodile antics in Magic Lizard and wished that Sompote Sands had used those crocodile props to make the Thai equivalent of Jaws then you're in luck, that's exactly what he did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CYiY_pHvtw If you watched Magic Lizard and said to yourself "Boy, I wish Sompote had made a Kaiju film" then you're in also luck, he made several! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBr8Bal3H8I I also found a 1500 x 2198px copy of the Magic Lizard movie poster in case anyone wants to print it out and frame it on their wall. I'm thumbnailing it because as batshit crazy as it might look it's full of spoilers. Literally The Worst posted:Magic Lizard is a thai movie, about a magic lizard. it has blatantly stolen footage from Ultraman in it Specifically it's from the earlier Chaiyo Productions movie Giant and Jumborg Ace.

It's actually a taxidermied bear rug, you can see it again during the massage scenes at the end of the movie
