I don't know the movie, but maybe wiki can help. I found that they have an article that seems to be a pretty comprehensive list of zombie movies. Not sure how much effort you want to put into finding the movie though.

Need help on this one

I'm sure that someone's going to know this one (my apologies if it's already been requested). I remember one scene that was either an old warehouse district or neighborhood (def post-apoc) and there were two guys walking into the town discussing whether they could hide out there or if they should keep moving.

I remember a fuzzy ball like thing that turned into a saw blade or something and there is a scene where the two are about two walk down a hill or down a trail and they have to smoke a cigarette (I remember it being red but it may not have been). The one guy taking the cigarette from the guy offering it to him asked what it was (or he may have said he didn't smoke or whatever) and he explained that it was the only way to protect them against the fallout or radiation, etc.

I was thinking Tom Berringer, but he wasn't in it (I scoured his profile on IMdB and came up empty).

Thoughts?

Sounds like Screamers, which is an adaptation of a Phillip K Dick story. Stars Peter Weller.

Hmm, not sure but I'll check it out on IMdB/Netflix and see. Thanks for the lead! Still interested for other ideas just in case.

Monkey warriors?

I have been going crazy trying to search for the name of this show online - even telling my girlfriend to keep quiet next to me so I can focus and putting off an essay for varsity, but it was either early 2000s or 90s and involved these monkey-like men who fought with different weapons in like a forest. It was live action and there was a movie made of it. No one seems to remember it! Please help before my girlfriend leaves me.

This sounds like Planet of Apes or some Ewok movie Can you remember what kind of weapons they had?

BTW, am I imagining things or was there actually a sci-fi movie (70's maybe) in the manners of Logan's Run involving the main character finding out that the small room built in the middle of the city, which people thought was a dream or transportation machine for the elderly, was actually some sort of meat grinder? (contrary to Logan's Run, people could not see what actually happened inside it).

Could that movie be soylent green? That dream room reminds me of when the older man comits suicide, then charelton heston follows the body.

That's not it... Sorry, I made a poor choice of words by talking about a 'dream room'. The citizens were not aware of really happened beyond the entrance, only that it was an acceptable thing, so I mentioned the 'dream' room.

It's neither of those - they had like ninja weapons I guess lol. Like one had a really long stick and the other a sword and stuff like that and there was a real boy who joined up with them I think as they fought some evil guys. It was kinda big at the time and there was merchandise and everything for it but NO ONE FRIKKIN' REMEMBERS IT. It's like I imagined it

This sounds a little like a version of the Chinese here the Monkey King. Jackie Chan and Jet Li did a version with Michael Angarano called The Forbidden Kingdom in 2008. MA is a modern day teenager and somehow "travels" in time or whatever and gets caught up with JC and JL.

Dude, I could frikkin' kiss you. Turns out it's a rubbish show, but it was really popular at the time - at least here in South Africa it was and no one seems to remember it. Thanks a lot, you've saved me many pulled hairs

You are quite welcome. I'll pass on the kiss unless you are a well put together blond female of about 40.

Are you talking about the cartoon trolls?

 

[Jade_elf]

I saw an animated movie in the early 90's but it felt like it was older then that
The main character was female and does a bit of time travel. There is an alien race that keeps repeating "What was will be"

I am so sorry I don't remember more then that. I must of rented the stupid movie half a dozen times but never bought it, and I haven't seen it since the early 90s, and would love to see it again.

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi, I need help to find out what tv show or tv movie this was. It must have been late 70's to early 80's, it was two kids, i think a boy and a girl and they found a spaceship underground i think at a beach, they went inside the ship and by using telepathy with the help of the ship i assume created a bunch of gumballs that flooded the floor with gumballs. That is all i remember, any help finding out what the name of this program was would be greatly appreciated, its been on my mind for some time now and keeps coming back into my mind. Help please. Thanks.
Mike

Did you ever find out what this film/show was called?? pretty sure this is the one that has been bugging me for a while too...

B&W TV show: lost hunter returns after a year

Looking for an old TV episode. I've checked the episode lists for Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Hitchcock, ... but no luck.

What I can remember(?) of the plot: Takes place in a forest hunting camp at night. A group of hunters of hunters are around a campfire discussing the strange disappearance of their friend last year.

The friend shows up and tells them some wild tell about being kidnapped by some devil-like being that made him ride around the world on his back for the year. The hunter has come back to warn the others about something?

At the end, the hunter disappears again and all the others can find is a set of goat-like footprints getting progressively further apart.

30 min (probably) B&W mid 60s or earlier.

Thanks,

80's sci fi kids show..?

Wasn't sparks..

Was truly bizzare.. Girl and boy hang out at this man's old house in the downstairs.

Time travel, aluminum containers in the countryside, weird robots

Had a 'dr. who' like feel, i think it aired on pbs but not so sure.

It's like a faint dream, hence the vague description.

Thanks...

Puts me in mind of Friday the 13th TV series - I think it aired on the sci-fi channel though..and probably not considered a kids show.
