Well that’s a mystery solved. There are road sections here that get foggier than the rest of the area. I’ve wondered about that for years and never would’ve guessed it’s the corn.

Ouch. Haven’t seen it myself, but that ending must’ve been dire.

Yes, they work in the line “they’re not gonna sink this battleship!”. When you’re committed to this absurd premise, you pretty much have to say it.

IGN owns Humble.

Battleship. It’s just such a bizarre license for a movie, and certainly one nobody ever asked for. (Well, outside Hasbro execs clearly desperate for another Transformers-level hit.)

Oddly watchable in a big dumb fun kind of way, at least. And hey, it has Jesse Plemons not playing a total sociopath, so that’s neat.

It’s always a fun surprise to go back to an old cartoon and recognize so many names you didn’t know back then. I see several longtime voice actors like Frank Welker, Mary Kay Bergman, Maurice LaMarche, Cam Clarke, and Jim Cummings, plus some unexpected one-off voices like Phyllis Diller and Ted Turner.

So, this?

That was a rumor, and has never been verified despite decades of discussion and many attempts to prove or disprove it. Also, it was filmed in Japan, not China.

Either they have seen it but were so traumatized they can never speak of it, or they assumed it was a fever dream (“duck boobs? Nah, I must’ve dreamt that…”).

But yes, I saw it several times as a kid yet couldn’t stand 5 minutes of it as an adult. Such a profoundly awful movie with bizarrely good special effects.

On VHS: Moonraker. A truly terrible Bond film, but I was too young to understand that.

And then finding out years later that lamp pic really was what you thought:

Edit: Or not? It’s lies all the way down…

E.T.

Yes really. I played it all the time as a kid and didn’t think it was any more difficult or abstract than the rest of the 2600’s catalogue. Granted, we kept the manual, which made a huge difference in understanding and enjoying its bizarre logic, but still. I had no idea it was so hated until at least a decade later.

Basically those scenes in Gen V when Sam hallucinates puppets being torn apart.

I might swap in Explorers as the third to complete the “kids flying spaceships” theme. But BNI was a classic too.

What OP’s describing sounds a lot like this scene in “A Clockwork Origin”.

FYI, you linked the same video twice.
