do yourself a favor and watch the Corman produced, Paul Bartel (the one and only) directed- Death Race 2000.
...you even get to see Mary Woronov's boobies! ....again... #theterror

Although as far as the Corman's go I still contest his honestly best movie was Rock and Roll High School. It's fun, witty, awesome music, and had working on it basically some of the best filmmakers/crew of the 80's before their big breaks.

if you want to see the Bartel/Woronov magnum opus, check out Eating Roul. the sci-fi connection you ask, IO9ers? well that would be the fact that it 'introduces' Robert Beltran, Commander Chekoty from Star Trek Voyager. #theterror

Seriously. I had a Cheesy Movie Night where everyone had to come and bring an era appropriate food item.
Roger Corman was made for this kind of thing. #theterror

"The Terror" is from before Jack could act, and attempts to achieve an air of mystery by moving at a glacial pace and making hardly any sense. Also, it has birds flying around a graveyard, Jack being an arrogant French jerk with a New York accent, Boris Karloff tottering around in his dotage, and Napoleonic-era politics. Oh, and at the end of the movie, pretty much everybody but Jack is dead, so he rides away on his horse like Kip and LaFawnduh riding off at the end of "Napoleon Dynamite".
I'm just amazed MST3K never got after it. #theterror

"Come with me"
"But the dead!"
"Don't worry about the dead, you're with me"
"But I can't leave til we destroy the dead"
"People in france can fix your batshitness. Say 'the dead' one more time and I'll clock ya" #theterror

Not that I blame her... (I admit I totally crush on Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) #theterror

But I remember at the time being particularly pissy at the post-Spice Girls crappy faux feminism "girl power" tacked onto Batgirl in B&R. Although a re-watching of Batman Returns (which I used to love dearly) had me cringing at some similar lines Catwoman says at the end.
One day, oh one day... there will be a Catwoman on screen and people will talk about something OTHER than how hot she looked in the suit. Hell, I hope if Nolan does it (please, please) he askews the catsuit and has her wear something sensible if for no other reason than avoiding such cheap remarks.

Despite all the opprobrium heaped upon B&R, I still maintain that Clooney is the best Bruce Wayne ever. He really fit the part, and I loved his scenes with Alfred.

You're despicable.
