I'm not that keen on Corden but he's Mr Personality compared to Russell "I'm a twat" Brand. Not only does my TV block him, it also cancels my TV licence and melts down so there's no chance of catching his "punch me" face. That's when I wish Virgin Media had the option of a "Bell-end Alert" that read the information pages associated with a program and gave a ten-minute warning before the start of any program in which any pre-selected bell-end's name appears. Sam.

Sam. Yeah and then packed the little b*****d off to Syria for an all expenses paid work experience selling his talent to the locals.

I watched a film in the late 70's called 'The New Barbarians'; it was a post apocalyptical feature made on a budget of about £20.... or at least it looked it.
I watched it with some mates from school the first time & then watched it again with another friend a few days later on good old VHS video as I couldn't believe how bad it was!
On a small plus side it featured a few 70 saloon cars including a MK1 Granada stripped out to shells with added weaponry attached. It was a kind of bad Mad Max film but I think it preceeded Mel Gibsons offering by a few years.

It was a kind of bad Mad Max film but I think it preceeded Mel Gibsons offering by a few years. Think this is it: - Plot In the year 2019, after a nuclear war, humanity is reduced to a few starving groups. A ruthless gang called "The Templars" constantly raid settlers in an attempt to exterminate everyone in order to purge the Earth. A former Templar, Scorpion, along with his allies, prevents a small band of religious colonists from being massacred by the Templars.Reception Castellari had positive recollections of making the film, stating that it "was an extremely cheap movie. The budget was incredibly small but I'm quite proud that I succeeded in making a movie shot on the outskirts of Rome."[3] Variety found the film derivative of Mad Max 2 as well as having elements of Hal Needham's Megaforce and other films.[1] Variety felt that Casterllari made a mistake in using slow motion opposed to George Miller's exciting high-sped action scenes, finding that the films car chases "look to be occurring at 25 mph".[1] In his book Phil Hardy's book Science Fiction (1984), a review found the film to be too derivative of Mad Max 2.[2] The Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as a "shamelessly watered-down, warmed-over" version of Mad Max 2.[6] In a retrospective review, AllMovie awarded the film two stars out of five, found that the film captures "the true spirit of the low budget rip-off flicks from early 80's, The New Barbarians is neither smart nor original, but a riot for anyone who gets off on Mad Max and all of its the junky followers."[7]1983 vintage. Sounds awful. Forum member Sparky is researching counselling suitable for members who have inadvertently watched some real bollux and now need help.

Crumbs I could've sworn that was the late 70's Three Litre; yep low budget about sums it up from what I remember. I think given the length of time since I saw it I should be over it but if I inadvertently watch it again I'll be calling a specialist councillor so may give Sparky a shout.

Time is relative DD, well that's what I heard on Dr Who before it became bollux.
The original Mad Max was 79 I think, although they remade that recently didn't they.

Night of the Lepus anyone? It was Australian and supposedly a horror film, about giant rabbits. I saw it on TV in 1980 I think, the giant rabbits were just norm ones, filmed running around model buildings. It was so bad it was funny. I mean, what's scary about big bunnies?

Giant rabbits? That sounds more like one of Vienna's special interest internet sites than a horror film! Sam.

Same with our TV too.
It has a "Corden Filter" fitted - just a switch that either Mutes the sound, switches over of off!
Get yerself a new box Sparky. Ours is far more advanced than that. It does away with the mute option so I don't even have to see his smug boat race. Ahh you've got the deluxe version

Sorry to have to post this - but, out of curiosity - I had to at least seek out the trailer. Gene was right, the budget looked around £20.00 - and that included VAT too. Most of that spent on explosions and perhaps a bit paid towards the local council for the use of their rubbish tip.
