OK PLAYERS, THE IMAGE REVEALED!!

 

THE FILM IS CALLED "THE AMERICAN WAY" AND STARS, DENNIS HOPPER! A FILM ABOUT VIETNAM WAR ERA VETS, FLYING CONSTANLTY, 24/7, IN A CUSTOMIZED B-29 BOMBER, THAT HAS "PSY-OPS" TRANSMITTERS, USED TO BRAINWASH THE POPULATION, ALONG WITH A PIRATE BROADCASTING STUDIO ABOARD, THAT INTERRUPTS REGULAR TV WITH THEIR POLICAL DISCOURSES!!

 

 

 

TRULY A "ONE OF A KIND" PLOT, AND A DARN GOOD FILM, LOOK IT UP FOR A SYNOPSIS, IT'S REALLY TOO HARD TO DESCRIBE FULLY HERE.

Holy crap, I've seen it - although I thought it was Called Riders of the Storm - I actually have a movie poster for the film that I bought in the later 90's from our college bookstore. This scene is a guy doing some sort of asian meditation tai chi thing. Great Music in this movie!

Your correct Mike D, the original title of the Film was "Riders of the Storm", but it was re-released with a new title, why? I have no idea? :smiley25:

 

More continues tomorrow! :smiley15:

By the granularity and aparent shallow depth of field of the photo, looks to be prior to the 50's. On the other hand, it could also be forced like that to be a dream sequence or something.

 

My first gues is 'Things to Come'.

When it was released overseas, it got the 'American Way' title - only here in the USA was it known as Riders of the Storm. Did I mention this movie has a great soundtrack?

You did, and indeed, the soundtrack his terrific! :smiley20:

 

My belief is it was renamed to be more "marketable" and catch the eye of shoppers, and BlockBuster clients, nothing more complicated than that.

 

It's a great film, and I think it would be enjoyed by just about all IPMS members!

 

On your guess.......a STRIKE!! :smiley15:

 

I'll give up a clue for that, the film was a sensation, still extremely popular today, and is very "bizarre" to say the least! It has full "Cult" status, and I suspect you'll guess it in a short while. It has great actors, and a plot that twists your mind up real tight! A personal fav of mine, and I've watched it many times, as it's rather complex in nature.

 

A "Filme Noire" if I ever saw one.......... :unsure:

This is a true SF Classic, very advanced for time it was created and released, some serious innovations that have come to life in our time, are shown here, HG Wells had a fantastic mind!

No guesses for a while, guess it's time for a clue! :smiley15:

 

The film is quite surreal, and deals with the possibility of time travel, in a very strange way! :smiley25:

The Simpson's had most unusual time travel mode... "Time and Punishment" uses the toaster!

ASH kick Ash back in the 13th Century! Great Flick! Four thumbs up.

AAAaaaahhh The Simpsons, so much fun, for so many years, love that show!! :smiley20:

 

"Army of Darkness" is a blast, and loads of fun, almost an American "Monty Pythonesque" flavor, to that most enjoyable film...........unfortunately..............a STRIKE!!! :smiley15:

Wow, Mike, your knowledge of film, local and foreign, really amazes me! I can speak French, so I've seen some great films from that Country. :smiley22:

 

Unfortunately.............a STRIKE! :smiley15:

 

Now, another clue, last one for today, one of the characters in the film, is also a character on a popular SF show!! :smiley16:

OK, last clue, and if not guessed by 5pm EST today, counts as a "stumper"! :smiley15:

 

As it was the season to be scary, there is a Halloween connection to the film.

 

Now go over the clues carefully, I really have pretty much given it away in there, look again! :smiley29:

Sorry Dave, that's a STRIKE!! :smiley15:

 

Funny film, and George Carlin was quite good in that as well!

I did mention it's a rather dark film, not a comedy, not even close to funny........... :blink:
