Important note: Please note the date of the event is February 6th, the first weekend in the month!

Year three kicked off with such a bang that we’re ready to rock right into event 22! We’re really excited about some of our choices for the next gathering. Since our last event was Dragons, we had to get kind of creative in our interpretation of the bridging guidelines. With the limited time between events, this poll will close on the 23rd!

Sci-Fi: Video Games

Because frankly, when the best one out there is the first Mortal Kombat movie? You know we’re looking in the right place! First, let’s knock the bridging movie out of the way:

• Double Dragon (1994) -Mark Dacascos and Scott Wolf as Jimmy and Billy Lee, along with Alyssa Milano as Marian, and Robert Patrick as the “evil I want to take over the world with shadows and my freaky bleached hair” dude. Taking place in the “future world” of 2007, this movie is so f*** of sucktastic awesome, it has to be seen to be believed.
• Super Mario Bros. (1993) – Mario (Bob Hoskins) and his brother Luigi (John Leguizamo) in a comical dystopia ruled by King Koopa (Dennis Hopper).<—This is the straight-up description of the movie! It has NOTHING to do with the games, and it. Is. TERRIBLE. We have to admit, we’ve always wanted to share this one with people.
• Oh, and lest we forget UWE BOLL’s entire staple of pictures: Alone in the Dark, In the Name of the King, Far Cry, Bloodrayne…

Action: Kung Fu

• The Last Dragon (1985) – Take the music of Mowtown, mix it with Kung Fu, throw in a heaping helping of camp, and you have a testament to the eighties that has to be seen to be believed. Starring Taimak, Vanity, Christopher Murney, and Faith Prince. With cameos from William H. Macy and Chazz Palminteri. Seriously, Julius Carry plays a character named “Sho’nuff: The Shogun of Harlem”.
• Master of the Flying Guillotine (1977) – If this movie sounds familiar, it’s because we covered it for one of our Weaponized Wednesday reviews. One of the great tournament fighters, this movie features two of the biggest badasses in 70s Kung Fu coming together for a grand battle royale. The One Armed Boxer and The Flying Guillotine. This movie would go on to inspire Capcom’s Street Fighter and a whole slew of filmmakers. Never mind how silly it is.
• Even though we’ve already done Ninjas, we’d have to have Ninja Terminator as an alternate selection. This movie may, in fact, epitomize everything that a Cavalcade movie hopes to be. Nonsensical, full of fury, and insanely bad dubbing. Plus: There’s a Ninja in full camo gear. Besides, the “Hero” of the picture is all about Kung Fu, and isn’t a ninja at all.

Horror: Reptiles

We’ve done Giant Monsters. We’ve had Dragons. But we’ve never simply done killer reptile horror. Which is a real shame, because there’s some awesome selections! The bridging movie is not one of these…

• Komodo Vs. Cobra (2005) – The title pretty much sums it up. There’s a killer Komodo and a creepy Cobra. They fight. The badness comes from the fact that this is a Sci-Fi Channel Original. Yup. We fully expect this one to get voted off the island.
• Killer Snakes (1975) – Take the story of Willard, and change the rats to snakes. It’s actually supposed to be pretty damn cool, in a sicko Cavalcade kind of way.
• An interesting choice would have to be Jaws of Satan (1981). Take the plots of Jaws and the Exorcist, and throw in Christina Applegate in her first film role. Yup, it’s like that.

So there you have it, our three choices for the February 6th event! Vote below!
