Hot off the heels of our successful “back-to-basics” cyborg Cavalcade Event, wherein we returned to a pot-luck style of catering, had a renewed focus on films by cutting out video games, and some truly basement-level schlock with Gunhead and Cyber Ninja-we are supercharged once again to roll onto Event 15.

One problem: we have no idea what it should be! It took a little bit of research to be able to provide themes that we knew we could bridge from Cyborgs, and now we’re ready to present them to you, along with a poll at the bottom. Below is a quick breakdown of each theme and a small hint of what the Event could contain, should we go in that direction (though we don’t promise that they will be the pictures chosen).

Action Theme: Ninjas

How could we not throw these in after the extra special showing that was the astonishingly fantabulously bad Cyber Ninja-a movie that showed us in detail the true destructive capabilities of Outhouses outfitted with machine guns attached to gigantic robot chicken legs?

Examples:

Kunoichi Lady Ninja (1998): Chicks with swords chop people up while flying through the air with the greatest of ease and shouting out attacks like “Nipple Shock Wave”.

American Ninja 4: The Annihilation (1990): A ninja movie where a guy crafts a sword by hand…and then never uses it. Really, an entry in the American Ninja franchise needs no justification to be entered into the Cavalcade.

Sci-Fi Theme: Space Opera

They tend to have Cyborgs, and outside of Trek and Wars, they tend to be terrible. Hell, even when they do end in Trek or Wars, it’s no guarantee of quality.

Examples:

War of the Robots (1978): An Italian rip-off of Star Wars. ‘Nuff Said.

Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saves the World): Also known as Turkish Star Wars, this film even illegally uses footage from Star Wars, ET, The Wizard of Oz, and The Exorcist.

Horror Theme: Virtual Reality

Apparently, computers still scare people, because they keep making horror movies about the dangers of the internet, computers, and VR. Hell, does anybody even develop VR stuff anymore?

Examples:

How to Make a Monster (2001): Starring veteran scream queen and Penthouse Pet Julie Strain. I think that about covers the justification.

Arcade (1993): Charles Band. Arcades are evil. There you go.

Now kiddies, it’s time to vote. We’ll be throwing up videos from some of the movies mentioned here to get you in the right frame of mind, so keep your eyes peeled.
