Lemora: The Lady Dracula's print is dark enough to be confused with a cave. It's an adaptation of two Jules Verne novels kinda crammed together. Man, it's been a while since we've had a good Verne movie.

Inspector Gadget wasn't even human at that point. He was a straight up android programmed with memories of his former life. A loving helicopter came out of his head where his brain should've been.

I loving hated Inspector Gadget as a kid because I wanted to see a badass cyborg fight crime, not watch some idiot but blue around trying to arrest his dog while his ordinary human niece did all the work. What was even the point then?

What was even the point then? Shoulda watched the RoboCop cartoon I think when you think about it the reason Inspector Gadget had to be obviously brain damaged is that if he actually had any sense he would have kicked the bad guys' asses utterly effortlessly. IIRC you see a few times where he's aware Penny is in danger and suddenly grows several magnitudes of competence. (Mind you, Gadget is usually a particular kind of stupid where he's not unintelligent or incapable but tends to jump to conclusions, fall for the most obvious ruses and double down on his wrong assumptions)

I'd like a version of Inspector Gadget where criminals have become afraid of him simply because they know his wiring is poo poo, but also civillians aren't comfortable around him either, so he's never invited to stuff because he could pull out a confetti cannon at a child's birthday only for it to fire something less fun (which hasn't happened because it's not grimdark it's just a worry people have), or a criminal facing a gadget that maybe intended to be an oil slick but it could be anything that comes out of there, like on the one hand it could be toothpaste, on the other it could be gasoline, and you just don't want to risk it. The story is Gadget trying to get his poo poo in order while trying to get his reputation out of the hole he's dug for it. The movie was dumb though because the gently caress ups weren't actually his fault - in the second movie they kind of admit that the chip that powers him is garbage, and in the first one it just raises questions like "Why does he have a gallon of toothpaste up his sleeve?" He asked for an oil slick, that wasn't his fault he's poorly wired and has random irrelevant chemicals in varying sacks in his body.

Inspector Gadget is fun because he's so obviously incompetent, that his niece and dog solve all the mysteries and foil the plots while he takes all the credit. I'm sure someone's written an good feminist reading of the show somewhere. Also the show exists because TMS wanted to make a Lupin III spinoff show in the future but got denied.

That was part of a general harassment of those places, but there was a lot of mob connections with the porn industry (and actual violence when some of the groups clashed over territory). More people used the individual booths (both loops and ones with live dancers) for self pleasure, to the point where people make jokes about whoever gets hired to clean them up. Some of this is covered in the book The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry

I really loved Extraction, it was a John Wick knockoff but a really well-executed one. It was directed by the stunt coordinator for some of the better MCU movies and I now firmly believe that every action movie should be directed by a stunt coordinator.

I have to challenge this, because looking him up, he did the stunts for Captain America 3 which I thought not only had terrible fight choreography on its own merits, but especially in contrast to Captain America 2, which has one of the absolute best fight coordination of any superhero movie.

Also the original series was a French-American co-production and the character was co-created by two French dudes and an ex-Hanna Barbera story writer, which makes the Clouseau/Get Smart combo make a lot more sense. Also they kept trying to reboot the show during the 90s and the 00s, and the results were exactly as awful as you'd expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYRUJVPhYTg In this series he actually got a promotion and became Lieutenant Gadget which is super weird https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE7jPSHZDh8 Also Brain the dog is barely in it because years of Gadget's abuse left him with crippling PTSD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99bT2_0Wx5o&t=469s There was also a CGI series in 2015 which looks pretty meh
