I'm looking for a native american documentary. It was on youtube at one point a few years ago, but I think the documentary was a bit older than that, probably shot in the late oughties and probably originally aired on television. The topic was mostly about deconstructing the native american stereotype, contrasting it with the reality that they're just regular people.

It was filmed by a guy who shoots documentaries, but I forgot his name. He's not as famous as the bigger names out there. He's a short, older white guy with kind of a dark and snarky attitude. It's not Louis Theroux.

Sorry, that's not it. The documentary I'm looking for doesn't focus on film as much. There's also more of the host paling around with his native american buddy.

Out of sheer grit and determination sifting through hundreds of native american documentaries, I finally found what I was looking for.

I'm looking for a particular scene involving a kung fu trope where a master holds something small in his hand and the apprentice has to snatch it. Usually it's a pebble, but the one I'm looking for involves a coin or a washer. It would've been a movie or tv show from the 80's or 90's.

I didn't even think to look there, thanks.

The scene I was looking for was from the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, from the episode Karate Koopa.

Looking to pin a specific scene to a vampire movie from the 90's or early 00's. A half-conscious woman is strapped to a high tech table in a vampire bar/lounge. Someone pushes a button and several long needles pierce her, siphoning her blood through plastic tubes into individual cups or wine glasses along the sides of the table.

I rewatched all three Blade movies this week but the scene I'm thinking of wasn't in any of them.

The alternate wish-world episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

I'm gonna say it was this. I wasn't sure when I made the post, but when the villain said "welcome to the future!" I remembered a line like that being in it.

I didn't even watch much of Buffy at all, I just happened to catch a handful of episodes back in the day. That scene in blade trinity with the shrink wrapped homeless being harvested for blood helped me partially recall this scene.

Looking for what I think is a b-list vampire movie or made-for-tv movie from the 90's or early 2000's, I never saw the whole film and only remember this fragment. A female vampire is captured and detained by a group of young black gangsters allied with the protagonist. While the captors are aware of what will happen if they're bit, she taunts them into having sex with her, believing that they won't be harmed by the act. Later, when they are transporting her in a limo to another location, they spontaneously turn into her zombie thralls.

Thanks. Yeah it looks worse than I remember.

Looking for two movies that use the same character gimmick, possibly based off some other work of fiction. Both are probably 80's or 90's movies. Both have a support character that wears a stone boot, because without it they walk/run too fast. One is animated, the other is live action.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is your live action, maybe?

Eric Idle had iron balls chained to his legs to stop him running too fast in that

I'm pretty sure this is the live action I was looking for, thanks. I am ashamed that I forgot Eric Idle played the part, or I would have made the connection sooner.

This one has a guy who has to hop on one leg or he will run too fast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fool_of_the_World_and_the_Flying_Ship

If memory serves Askeladden og de gode hjelperne had a guy with chains on his foot to keep from running too fast. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054638/

Neither of these are it. It was not a claymation or puppetry kind of animation, just a regular drawn one, or maybe an anime.

Though I was wrong about the live action having a stone boot, I am much more certain the animated movie I am thinking of had a stone boot. It's quite literally the only thing I can recall about it.

"How The Six Made Their Way In The World" seems to be the root story, and that lead me to what I was actually looking for: Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics - The Six Who Went Far.

Looking for a horror movie from either the late 90's or early 2000's. An alien or a mantis styled bug disguises itself as an attractive woman, lures men in with sex, then eats them during the act.

Looking for what I think was some sort of crime drama movie or tv show from the 90's or early 00's. I don't recall anything about it except for the twist at the end: The real crime boss was a child, who was the son of the previous crime boss. The end scene consisted of some guy (probably the underboss) walking in on the kid while he was playing video games, discussing what their next move is going to be.

It wasn't a twist, but Kick-rear end?

It's not this, too recent and I'm pretty sure wasn't a comic book movie.

Well I do advise it. It's a good film.
