Deep Rising?

New page, new recap: we play with three movies.

Number one: Kurt’s mystery entry, with three pictures:




Number two: Bench2020 guessed “The Bare-Footed Kid” so he has the right to give us a new film to guess (or to declare a FREE-FOR-ALL).

Number three: mine, with two screenshots (and it ain’t “Deep Rising”).

Another screenshot from my film,and this time I throw in a celebrity:

Ard:  Love that screnshot, it makes me want to see the movie, of which I have no clue!

Quite effective, isn’t it?
Would have made a hell of a one-sheet, “Mussalat”-style, although recognizing the person in the shot would give away a big spoiler.

To be honest the original shot was a lot bigger, and scrutinizing it scared me more than its brief inclusion in the film did! Strangely enough this scene features two monsters: a big one and a throwaway small one.
This shot features the throwaway small one.

Oh well, just for you then, Kurt: the original.

Another one for mine.
As you could probably guess from the previous screenshots, this film has quite some red in it:

I got it - that’s an undead Michelle Rodriguez, and it’s Resident Evil.

I knew I would have seen it from the first two shots. There isn’t a fists-in-metal-door-bloodied-men-looking-moody film I haven’t seen.

I got it - that’s an undead Michelle Rodriguez, and it’s Resident Evil.

Right, and right again!
I don’t get why people hate this film so much. Sure, it’s not the most difficult film to punch holes in, but there are quite a number of sequences in it which work fine.

Holy crap I’m dumb. I thought it was Michelle Rodriguez and I checked her IMDb page but couldn’t find any zombie/undead type film on there.

Obviously I didn’t look close enough.

I’ll have to watch it again. I thought it was OK, but it felt a little light when compared to similar films which were coming out at the time. Never saw the sequel, except the last 15 mins which I thought looked pretty bad.  That said, I really want to see the 3rd one. Part of me really wants Russell Mulcahy to do well - and I have no idea why.

So I think I have two outstanding now after ‘Resident Evil’ and ‘The Barefooted Kid’.  I’ll post one a bit later, but for the other one…... FREE-FOR-ALL!!!

I seem to have blocked out most memory of this film.  my recall is limited to toned Jovovich and zombie dogs. 

Love the Rodriguez pic though.

Here’s my first….

“29 Palms”? I counted…

Not “29 Palms”, but good thinking.
