Happy Halloween!

I hope you're all having a great Halloween. I'm not up to much (as per usual) but decided to see what scary films were available to buy at the local used DVD shop. Last year I watched the special edition of the Shining and had a brilliant time, especially with the sound turned up and the lights off!

My search quickly ended when I found 'Street Fighter' for just £2. Its not Sonny Chiba's film 'The Street Fighter' (which is great fun) nor the pretty awesome Manga... its the 1994 Van Damme version! It's truly 'shocking', but obviously not in a Halloween way, just in a "how did they get this so wrong?" way.


Raul Julia (who plays the evil warlord M.Bison) died before the film was finished. For a bit of fun, try to spot the scenes where they used a body double for him and shout out "ZOMBIE!".



As I'm on the subject of Street Fighter, here's a classic scene from Jackie Chan's film 'City Hunter'. Enjoy!

Original 1994 Fantastic 4 movie

Constantin Films owned the rights to a Fantastic Four film but, by late 1992, they stood to lose those rights if they didn't make a film by the end of the year. So, they shot Fantastic Four in one month for under $2 million. From the get go, the producers knew it would never actually see the light of day, but they never informed the director or actors of this fact, so they all went out and talked to the press and signed autographs and promoted the movie, which is the saddest thing in the history of the movie business.
