A movie should have a bonus if there are punks in it. Perhaps a 'people' category. could have punks, cowboys, marines (space or non), etc.
great idea though!

Amd why is Lovecraft not AT?
Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.
They aren't. Post-apoc wasteland is +10, zombie is +5, nuke is +5, but if you show me the mushroom clouds, +5. So nukes you get to see end up +20, zombies +15. I haven't seen a movie yet that shows the zombie takeover very well. Maaaaaybe the DAWN OF THE DEAD remake, maaaaaybe 28 WEEKS LATER. Most zombie movies just drop you right in there post-apocalypse. Or they limit the zombie outbreak to a small area.How in the hell are zombies more ameritrash than post nuke worlds?
Amd why is Lovecraft not AT?
And yeah, H.P. is AT like crazy. Pat II just wants ZOMBIE DOLEMITE TAKES BERLIN to be the only AT.

(10 pts} - Wrestler featured in cast. (Terry Funk)
{10 pts} - Fight scene lasting more than 4 consecutive minutes.
BONUSES: {+05} for kung-fu. (Dalton was doing some kung-fu shit, right?)
That's it? 25 points? FAIL. We need some credit for boobs, bar-room brawls, knife fights, monster trucks, Swayze, and MOTHERFUCKING SAM ELLIOT.

{01 pts EACH} - Ladies with more exposed boobs than lines.
Sam Elliot's moustache has to go in the ++ list, agreed. Maybe Ben Gazzarra too. That would put it around 38 or 39. I'd be happy with that.
