Danger: Diabolik: two sides of Deep Deep Down

(John Phillip Law and Marisa Mell in Danger: Diabolik)
 
There’s no question that one of the more beloved movies here at Dangerous Minds is that deliriously kitschy caper film, Danger: Diabolik, Mario Bava‘s ‘68 ode to love, leather, Marisa Mell and…Marisa Mell.  The same could be said for its somewhat hard-to-find Ennio Morricone soundtrack.

While uniformly great from start to finish, and full of quotable dialogue, it’s perhaps best remembered for its insanely catchy main title song, Deep Deep Down.  You can hear Christy‘s renditions of the song below (in both English and Italian), but below that is one from Mike Patton.

Say what you will about Patton’s various bands (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), because I can say very little.  He does, though, do a fully committed Deep Deep Down!

Total Recall: The Musical

And in other Governor news…what if Arnold Schwarzenegger from Total Recall sang about his wants, needs, and desires to see the colonies of Mars instead of (sorta) speaking them?  It might look something like Jon and Al Kaplan‘s Total Recall: The Musical.  I do believe it’s a work-in-progress, but the first song from it, The Mountains of Mars, is just now starting to circulate. 

Jon and Al are also the team behind Silence!, the musical version of Silence of the Lambs.  If you’re curious about that project’s standout song, “Put The Fucking Lotion In The Basket,” click here.

Yor: The Hunter From the Future

I was just alerted to the existence of this movie in a comments forum over at io9 by user “SupaChupacabra.” This looks stupendously bad, a cross between GOR and TURKISH STAR WARS. And apparently a great lost gem in the annals of barbarian cinema, a genre which should be resurrected properly, sans the Rock.

From the Wiki, which is almost as funny as the actual clip:

Yor, The Hunter From The Future is a film released in 1983. It was directed by the famous Italian B-movie director Antonio Margheriti (also known as Anthony M. Dawson) and starring Reb Brown, and was pieced together from a 4-part science-fiction miniseries shown on Italian television. The setting is a mixture between prehistoric and futuristic, borrowing elements from numerous popular franchises of the time. It has been released on DVD in Germany…

The movie opens with Reb Brown, as Yor, jogging around the stone towers of Cappadocia, Turkey while a rock ballad plays in the background. In a nearby village, Kala, a seemingly primitive cave-woman, and her older protector Pak are hunting. Suddenly, they are attacked by a Stego-Ceratops. Yor appears apparently from nowhere and kills the dinosaur with his axe, drinking some of its blood immediately afterwards. Yor is befriended by the village and together they cut the choice meats to be feasted upon in a celebration….

(More on that here.)

(And you know this shit must be good because you can only get it on VHS.)

(Although here’s some links to watch it for free!)

Has anybody here actually SEEN this monstrosity?

While the sandstorm clouds of another Dune movie threaten to gather once again, tidbits of the visually striking David Lynch version keep rolling in.  Back in ‘83, the one-time future Mrs. Novicoff actress Sean Young, who played Chani against Kyle MacLachlan’s Paul Atreides, brought her video camera to Mexico City’s massive Dune set.  Here’s a bit of what she experienced:

Batman 3 Coming in 2012!

Whether or not we all dissolve into rainbow-shooting dolphins and unicorns of the 27th dimension in 2012, AT LEAST WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT THERE WILL BE A NEW BATMAN MOVIE. OH GOD YES.

The release date for the new film, presumably directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale, and completing a trilogy of the most UTTERLY SWEET FILMS IN ALL TIMES KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, is set at July 20, 2012.

(Note: Above poster, with David Tennant as the Riddler, is not real, just in case it had to be said.)

In one of the most anticipated announcements in recent memory, Warner Bros. officially set a date this morning for the follow-up to The Dark Knight. Tentatively known as Batman 3, the movie will debut July 20, 2012 in conventional and IMAX theaters, almost exactly four years after The Dark Knight opened to record-breaking numbers.

At this time, there are no details available regarding the plot or the cast, though it is assumed that Christian Bale at least will be reprising his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Warner Bros. was also unable to confirm whether or not Batman Begins and Dark Knight writer-director Christopher Nolan would be taking on those responsibilities again for part three.
