Dirty Work (1998)
More of a comment really...
I saw on reddit the black and white version of the photo of Norm and Artie holding up the fish (number 6 in the gallery?).
I don't know if it's the shape of the fish, how the photo is cropped, or the black and white shading, but at first glance it looked to me like they each were holding a young woman by the ankles, holding up her legs and having a great time.
In Search of Monsters: The Yeti (2019)
Why did I expect a serious investigation?
Strange how the Travel Channel (or maybe Spectrum TV) couldn't even get the TV listing right. It was listed as "Legend of Bigfoot". Not "The Yeti". Not as an episode of "In Search of Monsters"
Erin Ryder, Investigative Reporter? She no longer deserves any claim to credibility. It was painful to watch her nod along with and not challenge an old Russian who claims the Yeti is not just in Russia, it's in Canada, it's in the United States, including Mount Shasta. He further claimed the Yeti are worried about climate change, they want to help us (despite the episode covering a supposed Yeti attack killing numerous young Russians), that Yeti are some kind of guardians of the Earth. Where's he getting this information exactly?
Another person suggests Bigfoot may have access to a doorway to a spiritual plane? Spirit Airlines? Erin says Yeti may move inter-dimensionally and something extra-terrestrial could be involved?
I can't imagine a crackpot theory that wasn't included in this assault on reason masquerading as a TV show.
Does Erin Ryder actually believe any of these crazy ideas? Maybe not. At one point she says of one interviewee, "Everything he says is incredible..." Maybe they edited out the follow-up where she winks and says, "Incredible, as in not credible."
Son of the Dragon (2006)
Funniest scene I've ever seen on TV
Easy-going movie. Good for younger viewers.
I have nothing against David Caradine, but I howled with laughter at the following scene...
David Carradine and his younger protégé are captured by the evil warlord. In a take-off from the end of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, they are left each trying to balance on a wobbly wooden post with a noose around their neck. Also, there is only one rope looped over some overhead anchor point so that if one falls they both die.
They start bickering over who is at fault for getting them captured. Fed up with being lectured, the younger man finally says, "Well, if you're so wise, what are you doing hanging from a rope!" ...
