Full Version: Name That Movie! Official Thread
Awesome. Needs to be stickied imo.
I have a random movie I've been trying to remember. I remember seeing it on TV when I was little and I think it was either made in the 80's or early 90's at the latest. What I remember was that it was about a white guy and a Chinese guy who were friends. They go somewhere (maybe a bus station?) where the Chinese guy picks up his girlfriend to be reunited or something. Somehow she gets kidnapped by this creepy old Asian dude along with the white guy's girlfriend (or love interest). The one part I distinctly remember is there's this part where the two girls sorta get a spell put on them by the old creepy guy and they grab this sword and raise into the air. The two guys then basically have to go and rescue them. That's all I remember from that movie. Like I said, random movie but it'd be cool to know what that movie was.
sorry to be OT but i have to for a thread like this!
I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

The movie you're looking for is BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA
I'm looking for this one movie, but all i could remember is 10 minutes of it before it ended.
Its a American movie really old, but still colored.
The part I watch is when this little girl was running home to meet her grandparents. As she went inside trying to call out her name, she realized no one wasn't at home. Then a few minutes later, she went to look at her reflection and saw her parents getting ready to pack, but as she turned around, they weren't there. She tried calling out their name, but they didn't noticed her so they got out and left. She was sad and all of a sudden rain started to poor inside her house and a shadow dragon appeared. She was all alone and scared as the dragon came up to her. All of a sudden the credit rolls...
I know it was weird, I saw this a long time ago when I was a kid (6 or 7). If anyone could figure it out I would really appreciated.

thanks, I've been wondering what it was forever. Lol oh 80's movies.
I haven't actually watched the movie (since it's not released yet) but someone please help! This has been buggin me for the past month. It's a movie trailer that played when I went to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and when I watched GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra. There's a blond haired (maybe brown, haha, don't recall) boy, in his teens. He goes in an elevator .. Then something happens and bam! It's a shot of a huge castle. The title was obviously not memorable and it was long, i think.That's all I remember haha. I've been trying to google and no avail. Please help, the boy was such a cutie! LOL.

That movie is Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
the boy is Logan Lerman who plays Percy Jackson.

YOU'RE A LIFESAVER! Thanks so much! <3
my friend was asking about this movie in the vein of racing movies like 2 fast, 2 furious with 2 car racers and a pizza delivery guy in it ?
I've never seen this movie. I'm not sure if it's a movie I want to see....it's just I can't remember the title and I need to know the title to feel like my life is complete. 
Anyway, I saw the trailer to this movie before a movie I saw when I was probably twelve. I can't remember which movie it was. =__= So the basic telling of the story if I can remember correctly is it starts out with a couple wanting to adopt a child and they find a young girl who is really sweet. Things seem fine, until they go take family photos. Suddenly, the girl gets sad and reveals that her real father came to her grandparents' home one night, and killed her grandparents. There was a scene that will never leave me, you hear the girl screaming I think, and the scene is of a car in the dark and you see flashes going off. It insinuated that her dad took some gruesome photos.
Anyway, then it leads to the girl's real dad is trying to track her down and he yells at this one chick that he is her real parent. The following shots are of the dad and this blonde chick, and the girl's adoptive parents protecting her or something. I forgot how it ended.
If anyone can tell me the title, that would be great. I've been thinking about seeing this trailer for months. Nothing comes to mind though. Thanks in advance!

Oh cool thread...
but I remember watching this one historic Chinese show with all typical scenery and guys with long braided hair and whatever when I was little. All I remember is this one guy (who has bad teeth btw) and he's married to this lady, they try to have a baby and then they finally do, so they have this one nanny lady who looks after the baby, but the nanny trys to harm the baby using those lighted jasmine sticks (? I have no clue) and then the mom walks in. I also remember this couple had friends who were also a couple. damn I'm making no sense haha. btw, i only described like one episode out of the whole series. i also remember the tune to the theme song, but i obviously can't hum it here haha.

I think it's Alice in Wonderland. I remember watching that part in the end. Sorry, if I'm wrong.
i saw this movie way back in the 90s.
my parents rented this cassette movie from one of those asian video stores
and it was a chinese movie i believe.
something about a princess. and there was a fake covering for her but as an ugly version of the princess.
and there was a weird ragged looking guy whose special powers was like the frog style or something.
and i remember this one guy rolling a ball out of the dirt from his armpit and attacking peopl with it.
yes i'm being serious, this movie was definitely funny and i wanna see it again
