Probably not Runaway Train but I could see some of the details matching.

Alright, I'll throw one out there that may or may not be real. The scene is of a character walking in some sort of a tomb/dungeon/etc. when the floor crumbles beneath them and they nearly fall through. We are then shown the reverse shot beneath them of a much larger hidden cavern with a completely different layer of the tomb/dungeon/etc. with the real path forward inside of it. The hidden space was a long rock bridge over a deep cave/chasm that led to a door or exit on the other side, and there may have been a dais on the bridge that held some kind of artifact. This would have been mid-90s or before. I remember associating it with the Indiana Jones films as a kid, but later realized that the sequence wasn't in any of those films. It's possible that it's from another type of film, possibly a medieval movie or fantasy or even a cartoon, but I remember it as live-action. There were enough Jones ripoffs and parodies over the years that it easily could have been from one of those, or even more likely it could just be my child mind combining the "Word of God" and the "Leap from the Lion's Head" sequences of Last Crusade together. The latter seems most probable, but when I think back to the sequence in my head it's significantly different from those individual sequences.

 figures that the first one of these I actually get is a movie I've never seen, but I watched a video about its Turkish ripoff a couple years ago and it sounded about right.e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E1xG-nrw98 feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:26 on May 16, 2020 |

Nostalgia makes you enjoy lovely things, and man do I think back fondly on my old black and white TV with its little analog channel knob and its fuzzy-rear end picture that I got to put it my room

Heavy Metal posted:Here's one that's a bit vague, but it haunts me. I saw this awesome movie on I think SyFy network maybe 15 or more years ago. A cheesy noir-ish sci-fi and/or fantasy movie. The main thing I remember at the time is I thought the main character talked like Max Payne, everything he said was awesome and ridiculous with the hard boiled quips etc. Sounds like it could be News from D Street, an episode of Welcome to Paradox. Good episode of a bad show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYE1VF5Ud8I feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Oct 19, 2020 |

drat. Was hoping I finally got an obscure one! Glad you enjoyed it. I found it very cool how it anticipated Dark City and The Matrix two years early.

Can confirm, that's some good content. No surprise as they're both kind of in the Gimlet house style, but reminds me a LOT of the Belt Buckle episode of Mystery Show which has a great ending, too. e: Rupert Buttermilk posted:I just listened to it, so I'd love to hear your take on it, especially what you're referring to that I've bolded. Was that the Prince thing? That reminded me so much about when Trent Reznor realized he'd accidentally ripped off, for lack of a better term, David Bowie's 'Crystal Japan' when he wrote 'A Warm Place' Wasn't McCartney terrified that he'd yanked the melody to Yesterday from somewhere else? feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Feb 11, 2021 |

Could it have been TV? There was lots of obscure TV fantasy for kids, and a frog man seems more fairy tale than fantasy. Fairy Tale Theatre had a frog prince episode so that might be it.

Wolfsheim posted:I don't know if it's a movie or a television show, but I'm remembering a scene that's kind of a riff on the Stand By Me leeches scene where the characters are traveling through the wilderness in a lake, one goes "hold up guys leeches" and starts stripping down and taking them off his body when everyone else checks and is fine, and he kind of goes "wait they just got me?" Life Aquatic.

Super Seven Calling Cairo? Intro doesn't match your description, but I could see you getting the name confused. Try looking up a Eurospy list on Letterboxd and filtering by decade. e: Here you go. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Sep 11, 2022 |

It was also on a bunch of Nickelodeon shows, iirc. It must have been part of whatever standard low-budget graphics package everyone was using.

Pretty sure it's a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode, but could have been a movie: an astronaut gets in a rocket and travels to another planet, lands there, and discovers that it is Earth. Black and white, 50s or 60s. I can't remember if the astronaut is from Earth and discovers that the other planet is also Earth, or if the twist was that he wasn't from Earth to begin with.
