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?

70s 80s 90s what?

Jacob 04-11-2002 09:59 AM

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.

paramiteabe 04-11-2002 01:45 PM

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.

MojoMan220 04-11-2002 05:32 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot about Dark Crystal, I have it on DVD too.

Mojo 04-11-2002 06:01 PM

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...

Niteowl 04-12-2002 02:13 PM

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?

Brew Master 04-12-2002 07:04 PM

Sorry I don't have pictures of Tremers, but I do have pics of "The Dark Crystal" :D

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.

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!

MojoMan220 04-12-2002 08:19 PM

nice pics brew master,
I hope you find tremors 2 pics.

paramiteabe 04-13-2002 01:44 AM

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.

Mojo 04-13-2002 10:11 AM

WHOA! It's the Elfling! KIRAAAA!

I thing I'm falling in love again

(Just Kiddin')

MojoMan220 04-13-2002 04:17 PM

Oh, the slog-like creatures were in Tremors 3, my bad.

munchman 04-13-2002 05:15 PM

nice pic. Brew Master

Sal the Mudokon 04-13-2002 09:38 PM

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!

Jacob 04-13-2002 09:46 PM

Is there really a Halloween 8?

munchman 04-14-2002 12:17 AM

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

MojoMan220 04-14-2002 08:21 PM

Just saw Tremors 2+3 last night on sci-fi, the ones in tremors 2 look exactly like slogs!

morphius 04-19-2002 04:00 PM

Enemy mine- (Movie) reminds me of oddworld, because of the forced labor, and alien planet, / terrible treatment.

Mac the Janitor 04-20-2002 11:47 AM

Yep
 
I was thinking about the slog resemblance is Tremors 2 too when I first saw it... does anyone think it was a ripoff?

VykerSawBones 04-22-2002 07:06 PM

''The Haunted Mask''

It reminded me about fuzzles....there were 2 dolls that looked like fuzzles. yes i remember

CitizenKane 04-26-2002 03:57 AM

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.
