Indeed, that may be one of my favorite movie scenes ever.

Since it has been a few days, I cheated and I know the title, but I don't want to play it if others may still guess. If you don't want to know, don't look below:

Actually that was just my best guess. I don't remember that at all.

Anyway.............

The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course?

Crikey! And that was the only screen shot I could find where he wasn't quite so recognizable. Go.

Looks like someone borrowed a Lucas set. Don't know the movie though.

Run another one. I'm too wiped out at the moment to take it.

nasai had the right director. This is one of those classic movie nerd Japanese selections you talk about to show how enlightened you are

I actually think I've seen it, although I'm definitely not enlightened. I've seen less than five Japanese samurai type movies from that era. It can't be Seven Samurai or someone would have guessed it already.

Rashomon? I can't remember anything about the plot at all. Just a shot in the dark.

by **GreenGoo** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 4:51 pm

Ok, did some reading around and if that's not right I'll eat my hat. Here's another soft ball coming from me. I can't help it.

If there are issues viewing it (I'm hot linking) let me know and I'll find another.

by **JetFred** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 7:46 pm

Rashomon was right. More of a crime trial plot about truth and perspective than a samurai movie.

by **GreenGoo** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 11:32 am

Huh. Here at work I can't see my own pic. In fact, without quoting the post, there is no evidence of a pic at all.

I'll post another today sometime. Amazed that a movie I posted wasn't id'd in seconds. Happy day. There's a more iconic image that I saw but it was unsuitable for posting. I'll try to find a better version.

by **GreenGoo** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:55 pm

This should do it.

by **TheMix** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 6:12 pm

Second image is blocked for me at work. Not that I was getting any warm fuzzies from the first image.
