GregoryPeckfan Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Night People is a film that is rarely on television. I have only seen it once and did not have access to recording it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulll Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm not going to lie, I had to look up the term "Gross-out movies". I wasn't sure if it was a literal meaning, or some name that means the opposite. lol Films that are "Gross-out" (I think?) that I've seen, not yet added: Billy Madison Big Daddy South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut The Jack*** movies.. Scary Movie series The Nutty Professor movies As you can tell, I don't know much about this topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the term can cover different genres, though it seems to apply most to comedies with raunchy humor and horror films with excessive violence. PORKYS (and its sequels) made a lot of money, and showed there was a market for gross-out comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Pie was the name of the airplane that went down with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Don McLean made a song about the tragedy called American Pie and is about ten minutes long and famous. Now because of this gross out movie, people younger than a certain generation don't associate American Pie" with those musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in a way, that kind of later-strange association can happen with almost anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Anna Christie--English and German, both with Greta Garbo Later, the practice became one of re-dubbing-- even if the dialogue was not in-sync. But in those early sound days, they would actually film it twice. If the star was multilingual, like Claudette Colbert or Marlene Dietrich, then they would basically be making the same movie twice. If the Hollywood star only spoke English, then their part was recast in the foreign language version. At least this is how I understand it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamCasey Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Charlie Chan Carries On (1931) in English and Eran Trece (also 1931) in Spanish were done by Fox simultaneously. The former is lost but not the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
