Movies that remind you a little about Oddworld!
For some strange reason the Matrix reminds me a little bit about Oddworld. Probablly because of those huge Sentinals that are firtilizing the humans. That reminds me of Magog technology.
Another movie is Alien because of the face huggers. They remind me of paramites or sligs. And Mystery Men. Because of that one character whos power is passing gas. That reminds me so much of Abe. His voice even sounds similar. I think Pewee Herman plays him. Mann I can't stand that person. He is perverted and needs to seek some help!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: What movies remind you of Oddworld? |
Tremors 2, the small tremors look like slogs!
|
"Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal"
reminds me of Oddworld. |
:
|
yeah... the The Dark Crystal...
|
never heard of it when was it released?
|
:
|
70s 80s 90s what?
|
Tremors 2 definatly. All the others...no. I have never seen the Dark Crystal, so i cant comment. But if your seeing games in movies...you need to get out more.
|
Cool you seen Dark Crystal? I love that movie! Yea it does remind you of Oddworld in someways. But I havent seen that movie in such a long time that I kind of forget what it was about.
|
Oh yeah, I forgot about Dark Crystal, I have it on DVD too.
|
DARK CRYSTAL RULLEZZZ!
Like those bird/dragons use those dwarves for their life-NRG, The Gluks use mud's as slaves. I saw it when I was 9 yrs old, and I fell in love with that girl elf, dunno what her name was... |
Here's my 2 cents
Tremors 2, Dark Crystal, Alien, for the aforementioned reasons. The Star Wars movies..all those alien races.. Evolution- some of those creatures had face fingers..There was one creature that looked so much like a paramite, I backed up the tape for another look.. The Time Machine- the windmills and the Eloi village..And the morlock's underground habitat reminded me of Rupturefarms... Disney's Atlantis- could be those huge caverns with ruins in them remind me of the paramite temple. Also the big masks worn by the Atlanteans made me think of Bigface. |

Anyone have pics of the small treamors from treamors 2?
|
Sorry I don't have pictures of Tremers, but I do have pics of "The Dark Crystal" :D
http://www.rainyblueday.com/images/darkcrystal3.jpg Notice Kira holding a creature that looks similar to a fuzzle! http://www.rainyblueday.com/images/darkcrystal2.jpg Doesn't quite look like a Glukkon but just as mean, when dealing with slavery. http://www.rainyblueday.com/images/darkcrystal4.jpg wanna be Fuzzle showing its true colors:fuzmad: I'll try to track down some Tremors images.... |
star wars episode 1 reminds me of munch, because they had sooo much hype about them, and were good but not spectacular Star wars also reminds of of oddworld because Episode 2 is meant to be the one that delievers sort of like ME. i hope they both deliver!
|
nice pics brew master,
I hope you find tremors 2 pics. |
Has anyone seen Tremors 3 yet? That one is so cool. The Graboids go from worms as we know to shriekers the slog looking creatures and then they turn into something called A** Blasters There basically the slog type but with wings. They build up energy in their A** and then blast off into the sky. It so Oddworld like. Burk is the main character in that one. My favorite Tremors is the first one and the third one.:fuzblink: They remind me of Oddworld too.
|
WHOA! It's the Elfling! KIRAAAA!
I thing I'm falling in love again (Just Kiddin') |
Oh, the slog-like creatures were in Tremors 3, my bad.
|
nice pic. Brew Master
|
Ive never seen tremors 3, but the graboids in part 2 DEFINANTLY looked like slogs. I remember the Dark Crystal a little bit, but I didnt see to many similarities between it and Oddworld (i havent seen it in a while. I remember thinking it was a Never Ending Story Rip-off though.) Aliens...I dont see too many similarites with those face-huggers and such. I guess, for all you swartzanegger fans, Total Recall had a bit of Oddworld in it because at the very end, Arnold puts his hand on a handprint that looks JUST LIKE Abe's from AO!
|
Is there really a Halloween 8?
|
Halloween 8 is comin out spring or summer of 2002, the dude in H20 that got his head cut of was not him it was.................thats all im tellin right now dont wont to rune it :D
|
Just saw Tremors 2+3 last night on sci-fi, the ones in tremors 2 look exactly like slogs!
|
Enemy mine- (Movie) reminds me of oddworld, because of the forced labor, and alien planet, / terrible treatment.
|
Yep
I was thinking about the slog resemblance is Tremors 2 too when I first saw it... does anyone think it was a ripoff?
|
''The Haunted Mask''
It reminded me about fuzzles....there were 2 dolls that looked like fuzzles. yes i remember |
Citizen Kane. All movies remind me of Citizen Kane, in some way, probably just because I'd rather be watching my most beloved film.
Now that I think about it, the Glukkons are heartless capitalists, and so was Charles Kane. He paid for it in the end, as most Glukkons seemingly do. There was a Tremors 2? I just remember seeing the terrible original on USA one lazy Sunday while clipping my fingernails. Right before it was that that movie where all the machines go insane and start hunting down humans, I think it was called Maximum Overdrive, but don't quote me. |
here is a good site with Tremor trailers they are cool

Well
I'd have to say Brazil.. Terry Gilliam's Brazil... Because it's social commentry.... and it's smart, just like Oddworld.. I agree with the similarities mentioned about The Dark Crystal and Star Wars But people, you neglected to mention E.T., and other such sci fi 80's classics like Labyrinth and the Navigator... I'm sure Lorne & friends, Farzad etc... all have drawn influence from their childhood favez... I agree with Tremors too.. I've noticed that similarity before.. Mainly in the rear haunches of the beasts, they resemble the Slog almost identically... Aliens has the same sort of appeal... Anyone who likes Aliens and Oddworld, it's clear they have a fascination with nature, the social structure and nature of creatures... So, most animal documentaries remind me of Oddworld too.. I think that'd be just awesome.. an entire documentary on fantasy animals done in CGI... Sorta like those Discovery channel "walking with dinosaures" "walking with early mammals" "walking on oddworld" or some other, fantastical world... The feeding\mating habits of Scrabs.. Fleeches and Slurgs have the coolest relationship.. Anyways, those are my two cents |
Wild wild west reminds me of oddworld. the big mechanical spider looks like a paramite. and the desert reminds me of the deserts in scrabania
|
Gollum in Lord of the Rings?
Brazil, YES!!!! its so like oddworld. It has the factory environment and the worker dreaming of escape. But it has the humour of oddworld as well.
Terry Gillingam's other film "12 monkeys" is a bit like this as well (the underground world bit). From what I've seen so far, I think Gollum in the Lord of the Rings has been influenced by Abe. We'll see when he's in 'Two Towers'. |
:
I still long for a movie with a scrab rip-off *evil grin* Providing an Oddworld movie doesn't come beforehand. And if it does: IT BETTER INCLUDE SCRABS! *pathetic grin* - TyA |

Edit: Is this what you thought looked like a slog? I think its more like a shoped of sligheadhttp://www.parmaq.com/kitbuilding/Images/tremors2.jpg |

But that picture settles the idle pondering about a possible rip-off. Thanks for finding it! - TyA |

OH! I didn't know Brazil was made by the same guy as 12 Monkeys,
but now it makes complete sense! it's totally his style.. the wierd people who interview him in that room... with the blue screens everywhere.. it's totally Gilliam... That's very cool... The tremors 2 creature also reminds me of those extinct creatures.. it's like a half slog half MEECH... Anyone else know any good movies that remind you of Oddworld? |
