We were watching Michael Jackson music videos and my five year old son asks, "dad, how did Michal Jackson change his skin white?"
Um...Well son, money. He did it with lots of money.
"How?"
Just trust me.

This is the only music video I can remember associated with Romancing the Stone. Watching Danny DeVito pretend to play a huge sax is the obvious peak. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui98...

Yeah I don't think Carradine can pull off Dracula. Man has zero menace. You guys already mentioned lack of European flavor too. He looks like a sad magician at a birthday party trying to scratch out a meager living. He makes a fine hypnotist but nothing about his presence screams vampire OR monster

Late to party now watching Superman (2025)
I read so many good reviews...but now I don't get that at all; this is super silly coupled with lots of bad cgi (like this baby thing example.) Definitely not for me. Green Lantern movie level bad. Even the Flash movie was better. DC continually disappoints

1982 Taito Jungle Hunt
The game was originally released as Jungle King but was quickly changed to Jungle Hunt because of a lawsuit from the Edgar R Burroughs Estate over the likeness to Tarzan. The character was changed to look like an Explorer & lost the yell.
