Nice try, asshole

Longshot but could be Revenge of a Kabuki Actor (1963)? Protagonist is a female impersonator, out for revenge, lots of very stylish set design and cinematography.

I'm positive this wasn't a 60s/70s set film. One of those typical samurai era flicks. I might have to poke around the lady snowboard sequels and see if something jogs my memory. That scene of the village with the deep purple night sky is very vivid in my mind's eye, but I don't have anything else firm to go on. I might try contacting the owner of the little theater in NYC that showed it a few years back, maybe he kept an archive program or something. I checked their website from the year I remember seeing it (2020), but looks like the web archives don't go back that far.

Thanks a bunch for attempting to track this down!

Edit: Does anyone know if Lady Snowblood had completely unrelated films released baring the Name to cash in on the hype? Maybe it's one of those?

are you positive it wasn't a well loved print? Colors can get.....colory (im not a projectionist idk what to call it)

Also that entire era was awash in weird day-for-night shooting. I’m colorblind so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as if I’m gonna notice purple, but they certainly seemed to be trying some wild poo poo.

Howdy!

Trying to track down an old kung-fu movie but the name has escaped me. late 60's-mid 70s at the latest, 98% sure it's not shaw brothers. Plot concerns a woman out for revenge. What struck me was the set design, particularly one scene that takes place in a village at night, with the sky being this deep purple color that almost looked like an expressionist painting. I'm almost certain "snow" or "lady" or "vengeance" was in the title somewhere. I checked Lady Snowblood but that wasn't it. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like the finale of Blind Woman's Curse (1970).



It was one of Meiko Kaji's first starring roles, a couple years before she was Scorpion and Snowblood.

That’d make sense because Jones has said he included a lot of little references in the film - like GERTY has HAL design with the single lens, the plants called Ridley and Kathryn (Scott and Bigalow).

Does the computer in Flight of the Navigator come from the roof? I can barely remember it except circles of light, maybe on the walls or out of the walls or from the roof.

I forgot Gerty in Moon! But it wasn't Moon. Moon was good.

Google actually spit out the answer, guess it isn't completely dead after all.
Turns out I was remembering Lifepod (1981). Here's the scootin' ceiling computer:

Some lesser or unknown YouTube guy used this in his review of the 1988 Felix the Cat movie. Movie (show? :confused) appeared to be low production, not new, probably 70s or earlier.

This is the beginning of the movie, I think. You see a ballerina dancing, close-up of her feet. As she keeps dancing, you notice the tips of her shoes getting red, until she is dripping blood on the dance floor. My guess is something italian from the 80s, but that's just a wild giallo guess.

I've seen a scene like that. I think it's John Wick 2?

The only other movies with ballerinas I've seen in recent years were Black Swan and the original 1977 Suspira, so it could be one of those too.

Save The Last Dance has scenes with a ballerina practicing to open the movie (IIRC) and then just past the mid-point she's practicing again in a montage, and we see her feet being blistered and bloody. Been a while since I've seen it, and I can't really recommend it.

Film around 2008 a girlfriend at the time got from Netflix when they mailed you dvds. It was horror/suspense film set on a sailboat. A group of friends drift into a fog that is kind of like a purgatory. Some of the friends disappear and later reappear but act strange. It had a very low budget look about it. Did not come out in theaters, straight to dvd. Its not Triangle. I'll add addition info if i can remember.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
I got an easy one.
Don't know why I can't remember it but a knight on a horse calls for his squire (possibly calls him sword boy) and a decrepit old man holding a big sword runs up to him. The knight proceeds to put one foot up on the old man's shoulder/chest while grabbing the hilt and pushes/kicks the old man to the ground as a way of drawing his sword from the sheath the old man was holding.

No, I remember the film grain, it's definitely something shot in the 70s or 80s, italian or french. Suspiria is close in style, but I don't remember that scene.
