Weekend Discussion Thread: Make Your Own Buddy Picture/Chick Flick

Okay this one’s a little out there, but I think you’re up to the challenge from Andrew, who opines:

I was watching “Is This Love?” the other night and had a thought. If you got Peg from this short, Judy from “Young Man’s Fancy”, and Sue from “Are You Ready for Marriage” together, I bet they’d have a lot to talk about. You’d have someone who married too soon, someone who is engaged, and someone who has just fallen for her brother’s friend. That’s a chick flick if there ever was one. But why stop there? Wouldn’t Ator’s level-headedness be the perfect compliment for Steve Reeve’s Hercules’ arrogance and wouldn’t a TON of villages be saved by those two together? Finally, what about Peter Graves from “Beginning of the End” teaming up with the female cop from “Swamp Diamonds” as a kind of Mulder and Scully “X-files” thing? Endless possibilities!

How about new version of Charlie’s Angels with the bubble-headed Tina from “Catalina Caper,” boy-crazy Judy from “A Young Man’s Fancy” and sensible but mousey Iris from “The Beatniks”?

Well, maybe not. You have a go at it!

    There have been some pretty good “Time Patrol” scifi novels, with the
    her(oes) protecting the continuum, ranging from Andre Norton’s Time Traders
    to Connie Willis’ inadvertent protectors of the time continuum Oxford
    historian researchers (warning, its two lonnnnng books—you better like
    WWII London Blitz era history). So how about Nick and Nora (or whatever the
    plaid wearing girlfriend’s name is) of Time Chasers fame teaming
    up with Crow and Tom Servo—yeah, Nick destroyed all his floppy disks, but they’ve
    got the SoL’s time machine. Their initial target is Bob Evil (turns out he’s
    got 2-3 extra copies of himself floating around). And wouldn’t you know, he also
    stashed an extra time traveling plane.

    Another villain they face is The Undead professor, who it turns out made a pact with Stan
    (I mean Satan) and is cruising around in time and space using hookers (but
    only to travel). He has principles!

    Hmmmm. I see Krasker (from THE DEAD TALK BACK) and Tor Johnson in a buddy cop picture.

    Oh, and it would have to have Alan Hale as their goofy, but overbearing boss.

    Glenn Manning (THE amazing colossal man himself) could be the hard-nosed mentor of those darn big teens from Village of the Giants. He’d be sent to confront them, but after a series of misadventures and some silly but harmless pranks by the kids, he’d come to care for them, and they, of course, would learn to respect him and be bigger people because of what he’d taught them. And at the end of the movie, the kids would get together and give Glenn a gift – a colorful diaper made of theater curtains.

    How about this…

    Mary from “Once Upon a Honeymoon” has lunch with her sister, Nuveena from “Design for Dreaming”. They talk about a big home appliances/auto show in L.A. (They both live in the suburbs around N.Y.C.) They decide to take a break from their respective husbands (Mary’s spouse is writing another show, while Nuveena’s is doing Heaven-only-knows-what) and drive across country to see it. Along the way, they pick up their long-lost sister: gender-confused, music-obsessed B.

    And they all have wacky adventures and learn female empowerment on their travels.

    OR take the premise of alternate universes colliding, and have Mitchell the slobby cop having to work a case with Geronimo. Mitchell’s love of beer would bother Geronimo, who has to drink buttermilk for his stomach. All their little quirks would be fuel for the dialog in between the action scenes…the long, doughy, slow action scenes.

    I suppose this one is a bit obvious, but how about a Japanese buddy sci-fi-cop movie with Prince of Space as the level-headed hero and Space Chief as the ineffectual yet loyal sidekick? With Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy as their contact with the intelligence service, and (fill in the blank) as the annoying kid who gets taken hostage by the bad guy.

    Here one…
    Rowsdower as a drunken police detective on the outs with the department. The police chief, fairy swatting dad from the Hired shorts, is down to his last hanky with Rowsdower. His “last clear chance” for a solution is the recent transfer from Idaho. Their first case together is to stop a crazed killer dressed as a Japanese chicken who has just killed Rowsdower’s mom, the cigarette smokin’ gal from The Killer Bees. Now these two mismatched cops need to grab a little bit of evidence to bring down the cackling killer. With Kalgon from Space Mutiny as the Internal Affairs officer determined to bring the team down and eat a little bit of lobster.

    Zap and Hal

    Do they have what it takes to solve the ultimate case, or will they just find beer on the sun? ?:-)

Rather than using fishing line to make objects float, Krasker uses Trumpy’s supernatural abilities to get confessions from Santa Barbara’s criminals!

    Paula Parkins from ‘The Violent Years’, Terry from ‘Teenage Crime Wave’, Silver Morgan from ‘Girl’s Town’ and Jody from ‘Kitten with a Whip’ team up as the hottest anti-heroes ever! If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the T n A-Team, AKA The Sisterhood of the Travelling Hot Pants.

    John Agar from ‘Mole People’, Chance from ‘Agent From HARM’ and Parnel Roberts from ‘San Francisco International’ team up as the League of Extraordinarily Smug Gentlemen. They travel the globe spying and digging up fossils. Parnel gets their planes in on time.

    ‘Likes’ to everyone who combined Mitchell and Sheriff Geronimo, that was going to be my first pick – I could see them pitted against, say, Diabolik, and both of ’em ending up in a Maltese jail or a trash can.

    How about Big McLargeHuge and the Runaway (Space Mutiny and Future War, respectively) stumbling around to fight the baddies of Fugitive Alien? There’d be so many ripped shirts, bulging biceps, and ‘area’ shots that the aliens would have to travel hundreds of light years in only 5 hours just to escape!

    Here’s the cast: Cathy, from “It Lives By Night”
    Natalie, from “Werewolf”
    Martha, from “Blood Waters of Dr. Z”

    They’re friends who take a trip to beautiful Tuscany, to see the sights and take a break from their unhealthy relationships with monsters. They spend hours chatting about how their relationships have transformed them into monsters. Occasionally one of them seduces and/or kills a rich tourist or a sexy native. Because they’re all monsters.

    But in the end they decide to return to their monster lovers in the States, because that would be romantic and heartwarming.

They drive Nuveena’s Firebird II stolen from the car show, calling home from various phones that appear everywhere the the Wife is around; when they accidentally kill a guy the Wizard girl knows how to hide the body in a grocery freezer. . . And maybe they meet the bread delivery driver and all fall in love with him; but he gets promoted before he can commit. Bang! this stuff writes itself.

    Rose (Beverly Garland) from ‘Gunslinger’ teams up with Pile on Pete and Lassie from ‘The Painted Hills’ to try and close down the Red Dog Saloon. After many long winded sermons from Pile on Pete the saloon closes, and it’s patrons go to the next town over for their drinks, which happens to be the town that Big Stupid and Danny from ‘The Girl In Lover’s Lane’ just arrived in. This time Jack Elam is arrested by Beverly Garland from ‘Gunslinger’, who followed the townsfolk for their own safety, and Kerry is saved. Big Stupid and Kerry get married and take a drive to the Valley Lodge for their honeymoon, where they meet Torgo and the Master. Just before the Master can hypnotize them Tony Cardoza from ‘The Skydivers’ parachutes down and saves them by throwing a big thermos of coffee on the master, who dissolves like the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz. Unfortunately, all the commotion attracts The Giant Gila Monster, (from The Giant Gila Monster, natch) who attacks everybody. The hot rodders from ‘Girls Town’ happen to be drag racing through the desert, and they crash into the Gila Monster, killing it. This time Daddy O doesn’t roll his car, and he and Silver fall in love, and are married by the preacher from ‘Last Clear Chance’.
