Christmas II: Your Santa is a Werewolf Movie Night

I don't know how much longer we can do Christmas movies for Bad Movie Night. I have a couple more in mind. If I ever resort to 1980's To All a Good Night you'll know the bottom of the barrel has been scraped.

With a name like Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny this is either some sick shit or a kids movie. Sigh, it's a kids movie. Here's what's going to happen. In the movie, Santa tells a story to some kids which starts a completely different movie with its own separate credits and everything (!). What I want to know is does Santa say, "Kids, gather 'round. Have I got a story for you executive produced by Armand Cerami with original music by Ralph Falco!" Now some editions of this movie just throw that other movie, which is Thumbelina by the way:

onto the end of the tape (because this did not come out on DVD). My version has Thumbelina in the middle, so we're going to do some on-the-fly editing around it.

With this shortened running time we're also going to watch the

episode

from the guy who wrote Beetlejuice!

Invasion U.S.A. is from the guy who made the nuttiest Friday the  13th movie. Say, next month has a Friday the13th in it. Stay tuned! 

It's not to be confused with the movie Mystery Science Theater 3000 watched:

The novelization looks like this:

It is the explosioniest movie we have ever seen.

Since BMN is still not long enough let's watch the

episode

Side note: Can someone with a Metafilter account tell this guy that he's thinking of last week's movie Here Comes Santa Claus?

Christmas Movie Night

 

Would Die Hard be just as good if it wasn't set during the holidays? "Now I have a machine gun. Ho, Ho, Ho" wouldn't make a lot of sense. Without Christmas Die Hard is just Skyscraper:



Which is to say almost as good and with uncomfortable breasts.

Of course, without Christmas Here Comes Santa Claus would be really confusing. As it stands, and don't tell the people that don't read this blog, it's a G rated musical whose original title is J'ai rencontré le Père Noël. That's right, this movie is French!

I wouldn't mind the singing if there was nudity. Or nude singing. Like in The Wicker Man!

Censored Version:

There were six Rockys, four Rambos but somehow only one Cobra. Unless you count Cindy Crawford's Fair Game, which is based on the same book.



Sure Cobra has the standard cop playing by his own rules on the trail of a serial killer. But Christmas! And of course Sly Stallone saying things like, "As long as we play by these bullshit rules and the killer doesn't, we're gonna lose!"

What's On The TV?

Where we ask you, the reader, to name what's on the TV in an old photograph. Today's mindbender:

BMX BMN

I asked people if they'd rather watch Rad over Virgins From Hell and the votes are in. All two people chose Rad, sending Virgins From Hell to the Better Luck Next Time List yet again. So I hope you like totally radical bike footage.

The directors of both these movies have films in the Bad Movie Night canon. BMX Bandits' Brian Trenchard-Smith also made Escape 2000. Remember the movie that randomly had a werewolf?

 

Rad's Hal Needham made The Cannonball Run. Remember the movie with random Adrienne Barbeau cleavage?
