I can't really put my finger on any single feature, just overall she reminds me of so many hyperpretty "girls" in slop thumbnails for Youtube videos.

I subscribe to a bunch of YT channels with kung fu movies, so unfortunately I end up seeing a lot of slop "hot Chinese girl" thumbnails (who of course bear no resemblance whatsoever to the actors in the film).

    Can Rutger Hauer escape from future prison & find millions in stolen diamonds... all while wearing an explosive collar that will go boom if he gets more than 100 yards away from fellow convict Mimi Rogers & being chased by the cops and former accomplice Joan Chen? (film a.k.a. Deadlock)

    Join us in the fun by getting/streaming the film, pressing Play at 8pm US EST, & posting your comments on Mastodon with the hashtag #MondayActionMovie.

    The whole Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend musical number is a feast of light, dark and colour... but also of young, scantily-clad, bound women being used as candelabras, lamp posts, and chandeliers. Something was definitely up with these guys! (I presume it was guys responsible for this idea.)

    Marilyn Monroe in the spolight, wearing a pink dress & gloves, hands raised, her arms & neck festooned with diamond jewelry. Many men in tuxedos behind her watching her. Two women in skimpy black outfits posed like candelabras.

    Watched last year in the #Comedon watch party on Mastodon.

    Welcome to the threadiverse!

    Looks fun: added El día de la bestia to my wishlist.

    The characters doing nighttime action in front of a neon Schweppes sign reminds me of Total Recall (1990), with people in the future on Mars doing nighttime action in front of a neon Peñafiel sign (Peñafiel a Mexican brand of mineral water & soft drinks owned for years by Cadbury-Schweppes).

    Seeing the film again almost 30 years after my first watch (in London), the Peñafiel sign & the architecture around it made me realize "F**k me! I know where that is! That's Insurgentes metro station in Mexico City!!!"

    Scene from Total Recall (1990) - two characters stand on street at night, in background a neon sign for Peñafiel water & soft drinks

    I'll keep it in mind, but probably rely on free options like OK, Youtube & "deep cut" P2P options that I hope the copyright brigade won't go after, like ed2k & Soulseek (I've seen films & TV shows on there, not just audio). (Presuming they'll focus on the biggies like Bittorrent & illicit streaming).

  • D.N.A. (1997) Action Horror Science Fiction (www.youtube.com)
     

    Need a film that's:

    • a blatant ripoff of Raiders of the Lost Ark
    • a blatanter ripoff of Jurassic Park
    • the blatantest ripoff of Predator

    but having trouble choosing? Relax! Watch D.N.A. & see a ripoff of all three, and even get a bit of Alien thrown in free!

    After a mind-bending & gut-busting battle in a windmill with evil mini versions of himself, Ash (Bruce Campbell) runs out into the night as another evil version emerges from his own body as a second head.
