Expensive stunts of a silent gomovie

The General (1926)

While Charlie Chaplin remains a household name, after more than 40 years after his death, Buster Keaton is a pioneer of the film and one of the first true stars of silent movies. The General was met with mixed reviews and bad box office gomovie returns after its release in 1926, but since then, it has become Keaton's best film and an all-time classic. This film follows a Confederate train engineer forced to act, after the father of his love interest (Marion Mack) is wounded in the battle. The film includes two scenes of chase on the train that turned out to be the most expensive stunts of a silent film, and has an impressive historical detail.

Kung Fury (2015)

David Sandberg was not only the director of the film, but also plays the protagonist, Kung Fury, a detective who acquired superhuman combat skills, after being struck by lightning and bitten by a cobra at the same time. Kung Fury uses his supreme combat skills to clean the filthy streets of Miami, but faces his biggest challenge when the villain Adolf Hitler (Jorma Taccone) arrives, trying to conquer all the time, through his own kung fu domain.

Kung Fury is not a serious or credible gomovie but it is quite entertaining. But that is not all; a long-lasting sequel is on the way, with Michael Fassbender, Arnold Schwarzenegger and David Hasselhoff involved in different capacities. You cannot miss it!

Reefer Madness (1936)

If you've never heard of Reefer Madness, you may be living on another planet. Leaving aside your opinion on the use of marijuana, this absurd 1936 film was made to "educate" young Americans about the dangers of drug abuse, but in reality, it is a propaganda film, produced by an ecclesiastical group and distributed by the famous producer, Dwain Esper.

In this feature film, marijuana abuse leads many young adults to violence, murder and (of course) insanity. In the end, Dr. Alfred Carroll (Josef Forte) assures all viewers that their children could die by consuming marijuana (spoilers). After a kind of comeback in the 1970s, Reefer Madness took a new life as a parody movie, for supporters of drug reform and the legalization of cannabis.

Night of the Living Dead (1990)

Without a doubt, this production was transcendental in the American horror cinema. George A. Romero's classic follows seven people who are trapped in Pennsylvania while being terrorized by the undead that surround them. These people must try to survive without understanding the terror that lurks outside.

The film has been considered as the first zombie movie, and its influences can be seen other productions, such as 28 Days Later or Shaun of the Dead. Romero not only acted in this film, but also wrote, directed and edited it, which made him a superstar, quickly revolutionizing the genre with a budget of just $ 114,000.
