How disappointing that no one has been able to identify the movie, it looks intriguing.
 
 Here’s another one: I saw this one around 1980 on French CBC- some foreign looking horror, there was a young woman (kinda looked like Mia Farrow from "Rosemary’s Baby") in a mansion study, and there was an older woman (some witch I'd gather?) looking on and a dude who was trying to get the filly to hop in his Bentley and go for a ride, the young woman denied and he left, then she knelt down on the floor and exposed her back, which started getting these creepy cracks (like the ‘spider web’ thing that happens to the skins of characters from the first "Evil Dead", dig?) then the cracks widened and her back caved in… and if that wasn’t bad enough- a small, bizarre, mutant baby stepped out of her innards. cut to exterior, day: So the man gets in his car and starts to drive off, while he’s speeding across the countryside he checks the rearview mirror and sees the horrible abomination staring back at him, the little fiend lunges at his face and starts mauling it (not unlike the picture from my first post), then they crash… that’s all I recall, anyone know this one?? I thought forever that it was "The Brood", but after watching "The Brood" realized it was not, the great French horror "Baby Blood" has a similar scene at its climax.

Guess this



First thought was Blade Runner, but I thought that would be obvious, so I took a look at the background and bam I figured it out, it's Super Mario Brothers the Movie!

Plus the url of the pic gives it away :P

I would never in a thousand years have guessed that it was Super Mario Brothers, was that movie actually tolerable? It’s always been an almost tempting watch just because Hopper is in it, like water world- the movie was the pitz, but he was all right. Now if you want a good Hopper genre movie, pick up Space Truckers, not only does he haul cubed pigs, but it also features cool bio-mechanoids designed by Sorayama AND Debi Mazar in her undergarments (Pa-Dooing!!!)
 
 You know I wish they’d make MORE movies based on older video games- screw Final Fantasy and House of the Dead, I wanna see Sinistar and Q-Bert brought to the big screen… how cool would an R-Type movie be?

I'd like a Zelda movie personally, it could be pretty cool.

Yeah the names in the backgroudn do give it away let alone the URL.
I was originally going to post a pic of a goomba from it haha.

It wasn't a horrible movie, but very unmario like. but not horrible. I think it's worth seeing.


Now how about this one? It's pretty obscure.

That's an easy one! (I guess because it's from my era.)

That's from the Ralph Bakshi film "Wizards".  One of my favorites from him.

Here's an easy one from around the same era:

Looks like a cross between a mini J'Quille and Howard the Duck.

Alright, I think I may have figured it out- the actor looks a lot like Henry Silva, I did a IMDb search and found that he was in “Cannonball Run II”, his attire from the picture would certainly point to this conclusion, however it’s been about 20 yrs. Since I’ve watched C.B.II. Can anyone confirm my suspicions?

And that pic of the bullman I think it’s from Island of Dr. Moreau, the terrible 70’s version.

That looks like one of the creatures in Time Bandits...but I think I'm wrong.
This is the way.

I think your right Matt. After doing some searching I came up with Peter Vaughan as Winston the Ogre.
