This whole movie is one big long LNI. It's called "The 5000 Fingers of Dr T"

I remember seeing this in an edited format years and years ago in TCM. It's a total trip of a movie.

Does it have a Dr Caligari/ish vibe?

I like to think that this wasn't part of the original script and the elevator dude was just waiting around and getting fucked up all day while they were filming other things so when it came time to film this scene, he was completely out of his mind and did this little ditty but the director and everyone were so transfixed by it after 15 hrs of shooting that they said "fuggit" and rolled with it because why the hell not?

Classic. Saw this when I was 13 on one of those TV stations that played the absolute worst B movies every Saturday.

The studio hacked it to pieces in editing but it looks wild

The imprisoned non-piano players' dance is a banger.

Loved that movie as a kid. Bearded roller skaters was a trip. Conrad was great in it.

We represented this movie a few years back in a small parade in a Houston suburb. We had some sweet moves, as Judson & Whitney

I love this movie. Absolutely daft with an elevator song about the contents of various dungeons.

Trivia on IMDb states that they had to cut the description of the entire 3rd floor because it was very dark, including mention of a 'gas chamber'.

That entire sequence starting at 50 minutes (and continuing on for over 5 minutes) is just insane. All the music is dubbed so just imagine filming that whole thing, dancing around on the sound stage and pretending to play instruments while there's just the sound of people grunting and dancing.

Kinda like school musical rehearsals. Or this https://youtu.be/4_hv_py0JOE?si=zZjcp3hYPiJdpp5S

Ah, ok, Thanks! (I'm sure it wasn't you, but interesting to get downvoted for simply not knowing an obscure and jargony acronym, not like I was an asshole asking - and you were also not an asshole answering. Thank you kindly!)

HOLY SHIT! IT’S REAL????? I thought I had hallucinated it when I had a fever back when I was a kid.

Not just real, after Seuss saw it he refused to sell the rights of any of his books to movies any more.

Story time: My dad showed me.this movie when I was little. I wanna say 8 or so(1992). Never saw it again. The phrase "et cetera" crept into my dreams. Nobody I knew had ever heard of it. Fast forward to 2008. I find a DVD copy in a Safeway DVD bargain bin. Immediately buy it, and put it with my collection, where it sits unopened for the 12 years it took me to work up the nerve.

I felt the same way about the movie The Peanut Butter Solution. I saw a clip or still of it somewhere and it all came whooshing back. Watched it with my kids, so bad yet so good, and I think Celine Dion’s first English language singing credit.

The Peanut Butter Solution is that movie that I have mentioned to people and they think I am having an episode. To the point where even I was convinced I had dreamed it.

And the more you try to explain it the crazier you sound.

I've had that happen with many things. For example the live action PBS science fiction library science tv show, Tomes and Talismans... and also Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain

to be fair, holy mountain IS basically a fever dream lol

I have, for years, been looking to find whatever drugs the creators were on when they made this movie.

If you are aware of his books, then you know that is his sober reality. No drugs needed.

"It's VERY atomic!"

I mean, it IS indeed made of atoms

This may surprise you, but most of the time weird things are made, drugs aren't involved...
In fact, if it's not a Cheech and Chong movie, the more people ask "what drugs were they on when they made this?" the less likely I find it is for drugs to have been done

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that "H.R. Puffinstuff/Lidsville" are the exceptions to that rule.

The Super Mario Bros. movie. The live action one. By all accounts, terrifying quantities of alcohol. Nothing harder, that I know of, but according to Hoskins, most of them were pretty drunk most of the time.

alcohol isn't what made that movie horrible... having a married couple as co-directors who didn't see eye to eye on anything is what ruined that movie
also the movie wasn't merely a fever dream, or creatively weird in a funny way... it was just plain bad and mishandled.

Never said alcohol made it bad. A lot of things made it bad, and most of the people involved were aware of how bad it was, hence the alcohol. To cope. Though, I didn't know about the married couple. Yeah, that can't have helped.

Yeah the alcohol is the effect, not the cause

Also it wasn't "everybody was drunk according to Hoskins" it was Hoskins who was drunk. Just Hoskins. He was drunk because the movie was su ch a fucking mess it drove him to drink.,

That's a pretty shitty excuse to drink, like most excuses alcoholics give.
