Btw, for whoever voted for Street Fighter. My cousin gave that to me for Christmas one year (I'm a fairly big Street Fighter fan) and since then I give him a t-shirt for Christmas.

My guilty favourite: Biggles: The Movie. Let's see: Shitty plot. Shitty script. Probably the shittiest soundtrack in movie history. Supremely misguided underlying concept. But...
It has the German sound weapon, which is hella cool. And the sequence where the heroes move into the test site for the weapon and observe its effects on buildings, weapons and people (the unforgettable Melted-Face Dude) - rocks. Shame it's marooned in the middle of such a dire film. :cry:

Mine is Mortal Kombat. The acting is atrocious in spots, and the plot is just an excuse to move from one fight scene to another, but I really get a kick out of this movie anyway.

OK, another one is Gangbang Girl 14, but I don't think that's the kind of movie you were talking about :)

I like the first Mortal Kombat movie too. The whole set up is cool even if a lot of the acting blows and Goro is pretty lame.

The fights are better in the second movie but it's not as fun.

Heh, I liked the first Mortal Kombat. I can still sit down and enjoy it to this day.

The second one was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

oh, I am glad someone said "The Longest Day", I love that movie. Plus Midway and Operation Pettycoat.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
