OK, not cheating or stopping to think about it, the movie is Krull.

 

The lead character - Don't remember his name but he was about to marry Princess Lyssa when the Slayers attack his wedding. They're these guys with swords that shoot lasers and work for The Beast. When they get stabbed, they make some kind of big shriek and some kind of lobster like thing comes out of their head. A whole bunch of people are killed and he is left for dead and I think the princess is kidnapped. 

 

The lead character (the prince?) gets a bunch of people put together on some kind of quest including a cyclops, I remember a scene where they're ambushed by the Slayers when they rise out of a swamp. At some point some guy has to go see some woman imprisoned in a web because she can tell them where the Beast's teleporting castle will appear in the next day. I think she was his wife and was being punished for killing their child or something like that. Where she lives is destroyed by a giant spider, the guy gets back to tell them where the castle will appear, releases the sand he was holding and dies. I think that might have been Robbie Coltrane.

 

They get to the castle, fight their way in, the Cyclops who was meant to wait somewhere that his death was predicted, didn't and turns up on a horse. There was some penalty for not following his future which turns out to be his being crushed by a closing stone wall when he helps them into the castle.

 

One of the things from the movie I don't remember is where he got the Glaive from (or even that it was called the Glaive) funnily enough but I do remember what it looked like. He finds the Beast which is always seen like it's far away and a bit like an alien from Alien except it talks a lot and spits fireballs. There's some sort of fight, the Beast is killed but the Glaive is stuck in it and can't come back when called. Everyone escapes, the Beast's castle disintegrates and is sucked upwards into the sky. 

 

The film ends where the prince gives one of his surviving companions who I believe was a petty criminal, some sort of key. This guy says all surprised something like "Only the king's chief marshall has this key". Then he thinks about it, realises he is the new chief marshall, laughs like he's heard a particularly good joke and then everyone is filmed from behind walking into the distance across a field as the credits roll across this scene for a while.

 

I remember the lead actress (who I think was American) wasn't impressed to later find that she was redubbed by and English actress. Or was it the other way around? It probably was the earlier?

 

And I think Liam Neeson was in it somewhere.

 

How did I do? (There is no way to win in this situation is there?)

 

I'd better contribute something to the prop list side of things.

 

Where does Bernie from "Weekend at Bernie's" fall on the actor - prop spectrum?

Pretty well, as I recall.

 

Not cheating, the gaps that I remember:

- the main guy was Corwyn or Colwyn.  He was played by Ken Marshall

- the princess was Lysette Anthony

- Liam Neeson was indeed in the film.

- Alun Armstrong was the bandit leader ('we are now an army!'')

- the main wizard guy has Corwyn climb a volcano to get the glaive.  he reaches into the lava and retrieves it...or something.  He's immune to heat...or something.

 

I remember the slayers being pretty cool.  Also, the Widow of the Web sequence was very well done.

The AUSTIN POWERS films

The props: whatever is conveniently on hand to hide the naughty bits.

This was used best in the first film, especially in the scene where he wakes up and Hurley is on the telephone in the foreground. These made for some ofhe funniest scenes in the films, even though they did beat the concept into the ground as the franchise wore on.

TERMINAL VELOCITY

the prop: a red Cadillac Allante

Remember the commercials and trailers for this? It was all about that final stunt, and you went to see it/rented the movie just to see that stunt.
Was it worth it? Actually, yeah. I mean, they actually dropped a shitload of Allantes in the desert for this thing. A few obvious special effects.shots aside, it's entirely convincing.

If you were talking parachute films and you mentioned the red caddy, people would know immediately which film you meant.

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME/MOONRAKER

the prop: the metal teeth on Jaws.

It was a gimmick, but it worked mainly because of the way that Richard Kiel played the part. Like the Lotus and the parachute, it helped to set the films apart from the others.

65. The Movie: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

      The Prop: The coconut shells

tumblr_l6650lHRQ61qbs72i.jpg

dounecastleAAAAAA.jpg

 

What started as a joke born from budget restrictions (they couldn't afford horses) became one of the funniest opening moments ever in film. The credits fade to an opening shot of A desolate, mist shrouded moor and we hear a horse approach, then through the mists comes Graham Chapman with Terry Gilliam in pursuit banging two coconut halves together.

 

I died laughing the first time I saw it.

 

Not to mention the famous exchange brought on by questioning the existance of a pair of coconut shells in dark ages of England. 

 

King Arthur: We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master. 
1st Soldier: What? Ridden on a horse? 
King Arthur: Yes! 
1st Soldier: You're using coconuts! 
King Arthur: What? 
1st Soldier: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together. 
King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through... 
1st Soldier: Where'd you get the coconuts? 
King Arthur: We found them. 
1st Soldier: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical! 
King Arthur: What do you mean? 
1st Soldier: Well, this is a temperate zone 
King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land? 
1st Soldier: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? 
King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried. 
1st Soldier: What? A swallow carrying a coconut? 
King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk! 
1st Soldier: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. 
King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here? 
1st Soldier: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? 
King Arthur: Please! 
1st Soldier: Am I right?

Well, do ya, punk?

iron-man-reactor-27.jpg

 

The arc reactor from Iron Man. Not only is it a striking visual that has shown up on t-shirts ever since, it plays a very important part in the plot. It demonstrates Tony's intelligence, it's fought over (in the first movie and sequel) by multiple parties, it's topical as it would be an unlimited fuel source, is used for a character building scene with Tony and Pepper (proof that Tony Stark has a heart...), and is the center piece of a tension-filled scene when it's been removed from Tony's chest.

the prop:  The tits of Julie Andrews

 

8DC035924AC6ADB7923CFA39B32438.jpg

 

While being a scathing commentary on the film industry in general, the film is also a riff on the squeaky clean image of Julie Andrews.  It's a film within a film, with Richard Mulligan (a proxy for Blake Edwards) trying to get his wife to show her tits on film in order to save his flop of a film.

 

Does she show 'em?  Yes, and it's hilarious.  Great, underrated film.
