3D shows how to do a proper robot using classic Hardcastle Synths

This is a short clip of robot master 3D, quite a rare and vintage clip.  No need for fancy gimicks, just the robot!

Also check out the duo Fotostat, masters of the vintage robot dance.  They might have funky haircuts and wacky clothes, but they sure do a damn good robot movement.

Summer Job Opening Theme - 1989

An old song from a late 80s summer B movie called Summer Job which most people have never heard of, but still has some great music in it.  The soundtrack is impossible to find, but has some good AOR and summer themes in there.

Chaz Jankel - Tonight's Our Night - Forgotten Classic

Chaz Jankel or Chas Jankel depending on which record you might have put out some classic albums. This is one of this best tracks from the album "Looking At You", a forgotten classic.  I picked up this CD years back and its one of his best.

Some Soundtrack Classics - Montage favourites

Here are some classic montages, when songs on a soundtrack actually featured in the movie!

The Principal (1987) - How to deal with disobedience

If you like the good old school based ghetto movies, then make sure you watch Jim Belushi is his legendary role as "The Principal".  It features action, plenty of great one liners, and villians with greased up jheri curls to match the Soul Glow look.

You can just feel the energy when Jim Belushi literally kicks the crap out one of the pupils, and then gets on a motorbike to teach these asswipes a real lesson!

Check out some of these legendary scenes.  Even Louis Gossett Jr makes an appearance as a hard ass caretaker.  This movie also features a scene where Strafe's Set it Off is played, a great example of motion pictures and music as an artform.

Commando (1985) - The Arnie Show - The Almighty One Liners

You don't need to say anything to describe this ultimate macho masterpiece. Its the one liner king as Arnie shows today's "action" failures how to do proper action scenes.

The only modern movie which even comes close is Liam Neeson in Taken, but none of Neeson's lines can match such legendary quotes as "WRONG" and "I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now i'm very hungry", not to mention the way Arnie skilfully snaps the neck of his "Dead Tired" friend.

This movie also features the pounding action classic by James Horner where he improves his 48 Hours score by giving us more tropical and jungle flavours than ever before. Bask in the glory of the one of the greatest action scores known to mankind.

It ends with a hard hitting Power Station classic to close out this masterpiece of film making.

This is how you make a proper action movie Hollywood, now give us another one like this and stop pussying about!

Trick Or Treat (1986) - Death By Headphones

This is one my favourites, a classic 1986 horror movie starring some unknowns.  Great music by the band Fastway and featuring an interesting concept.  Sammi Curr is a rock star who comes back from the dead to kill them all, using backmasking and various electricity induced shenanigans.  It features a death by headphones scene in what some would say is the original audio killer! A full year before Corey Haim immortilised the "Death by Stereo" line in The Lost Boys.

It also features Ozzy Osbourne and that old KISS tosser Gene Simmons.  Its Sammi Curr who is the real star of the show.  With campy spandex and big hair, he still manages to kill off many ass holes before being finished off.  Overall, a decent movie thats is apparently getting a remake sometime in the next few years.  The soundtrack is brilliant, Fastway give it some real hard rock old school style.  Only Sammi Curr can make a death by guitar look cool! There should be a whole movie where people get killed off with an electrifying guitar. 

Catch Me If You Can (1989) - Tangerine Dream

Catch Me If You Can is a forgotten 1989 movie starring Matt Latanzi which you've probably never heard of.  This movie is not even available on DVD! The notable feature of this movie is the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.  Featuring a DX7 heavy soundtrack, this soundtrack finds TD on auto pilot as the deliver their trademark synth sounds.

Overall, good movie, great cars, big hair, hammy acting and all the usual shit with these classics!

Clarence Boddicker - Bitches Leave

If there is one movie with classic one liners that you will never forget, Robocop is right up there.  Clarence Boddicker, possibly the nastiest, funniest and downright disgusting villian in the history of film delivers the goods in Paul Verhoeven's 1987 classic.  The inevitable remake is apparently going to include some "serious" drama, so I guess the one liners ain't gonna come back! Bastards!

 

Bitches Leave!

Oh, and if anyone else is in the UK, you can apparently find Clarence in a pub in Gloucester.  What a legend.
