    Default B-movies at their finest

    So, what did I do while the .Org was down? Among other things, scrolled through some movies and eventually decided on one of those 1960s Italian sword-and-sandal flicks, Hercules against the Barbarians. The only thing I can say about this film is that it is awesome and I need to acquaint myself with the rest of the movies in this genre sooner rather than later.

    Below is a running commentary that Shinseikhaan and I made over Steam as a part of an 8-hour long conversation, inspired by his hilarious commentary of The Other Boleyn Girl which I can also post if you're interested. Keep in mind, it's quite long:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Shinseikhaan: so
    Shinseikhaan: I could watch spaceballs
    Shinseikhaan: or
    Shinseikhaan: I could watch Bill Cosby: Himself
    Shinseikhaan: hmmmm
    GeneralHankerchief: hold on a sec
    GeneralHankerchief: I'm seeing if there's a way I can access spaceballs myself
    GeneralHankerchief: hmm
    GeneralHankerchief: Toxic Avenger
    GeneralHankerchief: Toxic Avenger II
    Shinseikhaan: what?

    GeneralHankerchief: oh yeah.
    Shinseikhaan: oh man
    GeneralHankerchief: I could also go "Savage Sisters"
    Shinseikhaan: 30 days of Night

    GeneralHankerchief: oooo
    Shinseikhaan: we have mediacom
    GeneralHankerchief: "Dark Path Chronicles Movie"
    GeneralHankerchief: that is the actual title.
    Shinseikhaan: which is probably a badly run subsidiary
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: great movie title or greatest?
    GeneralHankerchief: "an original series about a young vampire, awakened from hibernation, and a teenage girl who hears voices. Together they begin to explore 'The Dark Path.'"
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: so its Twilight?

    Shinseikhaan: so all the guys and girls got into a fight over twilight
    Shinseikhaan: it was epic
    GeneralHankerchief: HAHAHAHAHAHA
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, two things:
    GeneralHankerchief: first.
    GeneralHankerchief: I'm in the tollbooth a couple of days ago
    GeneralHankerchief: at this point it's 3AM, which is my dead hour
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: so I bring in a book to read
    Shinseikhaan: you mean 2 am isn't the dead hour? :P
    GeneralHankerchief: touche.
    GeneralHankerchief: but 3 especially :P
    GeneralHankerchief: car comes up, I put the book down and give my customary greeting "hey, how ya doin'?"
    GeneralHankerchief: guy says, "oh, reading Twilight again eh?"
    GeneralHankerchief: it takes me a moment to register
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: and then I'm like, "wait, what's this 'again' crap?"
    GeneralHankerchief: second thing

    GeneralHankerchief: of course, there is also "Hercules Barbarians"
    Shinseikhaan: o_O
    Shinseikhaan: is that the title character's name or a possessive?
    GeneralHankerchief: "The 12th century... Failing to overrun Cracow, Ghengis Khan kidnaps the beautiful heir to the throne. But Hercules saves her and defeats Khan's throne."
    GeneralHankerchief: That was the greatest description of all time
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    Shinseikhaan: wow.....
    GeneralHankerchief: First of all, it's Hercules vs. Ghengis Khan
    Shinseikhaan: unbelievable

    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: or better
    Shinseikhaan: remake Hunchback of Notre Dame and do it completely faithfully to the novel
    GeneralHankerchief: not in a million years.
    Shinseikhaan: then try and market as a G rated movie :P
    Shinseikhaan: you know how the novel ends?
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah
    Shinseikhaan: c'mon, that would be awesome to see Disney pull that
    GeneralHankerchief: true
    GeneralHankerchief: that's like Greek tragedy at its finest
    Shinseikhaan: "mommy, what happened to esmerelda?

    Shinseikhaan: never mind
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah
    GeneralHankerchief: and then Quasimodo clings to her and starves
    Shinseikhaan: "she was hung, deary. She's just waiting there to die of exposure"
    Shinseikhaan: ya
    GeneralHankerchief: I've decided to go with Gattaca
    GeneralHankerchief: Hercules Barbarians will come when I'm truly bored

    GeneralHankerchief: of which we did not see a single defender
    Shinseikhaan: no epic battle?
    Shinseikhaan: hahaha
    GeneralHankerchief: but they did die!
    Shinseikhaan: "Retreat!"
    GeneralHankerchief: look, there's a stretcher
    Shinseikhaan: "Sir, there's not a single defender"
    GeneralHankerchief: OMFG
    Shinseikhaan: "But they have a castle and we have only ponies!"
    GeneralHankerchief: Ghengis Khan has a feather in his hair
    GeneralHankerchief: I'm fairly certain it's a feather
    Shinseikhaan: "And are savage stupid barbarians! We can't take a castle!"
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: and I believe the woman has a magic wand
    Shinseikhaan: Genghis is FAAAAAAABULOUS
    GeneralHankerchief: no, like indian feather
    Shinseikhaan: oh
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    Shinseikhaan: just...
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    GeneralHankerchief: nice handlebar stache on Ghengis
    GeneralHankerchief: this Mongol is white
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, they lost to a hurricane
    GeneralHankerchief: no, it was a giant man
    Shinseikhaan: in Poland?
    Shinseikhaan: a giant man or a hurricane?
    GeneralHankerchief: giant man
    GeneralHankerchief: "our enemies... the Christians... call him Hercules:
    GeneralHankerchief: "
    Shinseikhaan: I assume that's hercules
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, ghengis didn't lose that battle
    GeneralHankerchief: kublai khan did
    Shinseikhaan: will he stride magnificently across the battlefield, slaying 100's of the barbarians in a single swoop?
    Shinseikhaan: LOL
    GeneralHankerchief: and now he has to answer to ghengis
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    GeneralHankerchief: pretty much
    Shinseikhaan: this is awesome
    Shinseikhaan: these guys just kicked history in the nuts
    GeneralHankerchief: now there's some song and people are crying
    GeneralHankerchief: oh
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules is BUFF
    GeneralHankerchief: he's wearing almost nothing
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: why do I have the feeling this is a 35 minute movie?
    GeneralHankerchief: actually no
    GeneralHankerchief: 1.5 hours
    Shinseikhaan: man
    GeneralHankerchief: kublai is in deep trouble
    Shinseikhaan: this gonna be long
    GeneralHankerchief: ghengis's hat looks like an ice cream cone upside down in a cup
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: kublai has a second chance
    Shinseikhaan: GO STEAL THE PRINCESS! BWUHAHAHAHA!
    GeneralHankerchief: he needs to sell his slaves and kill his women apparently?
    Shinseikhaan: o_O
    Shinseikhaan: why?
    GeneralHankerchief: some random chick: "I want you to be the one to kill me"
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: ooh, they're interrogating a polish prisoner
    Shinseikhaan: where'd he come from?
    Shinseikhaan: they lost....
    GeneralHankerchief: are you seriously asking for this movie to make sense?
    Shinseikhaan: ahaha
    Shinseikhaan: good point
    Shinseikhaan: this may as well be on the sci-fi channel and titled "Hercules vs Mongol"
    Shinseikhaan: and I actually saw Komodo Dragon vs Cobra the other day
    Shinseikhaan: pretty damn funny
    GeneralHankerchief: "Ahh! Flames! Flames!"
    GeneralHankerchief: who won?
    Shinseikhaan: neither
    Shinseikhaan: they both got napalmed by the gov't
    GeneralHankerchief: NICE
    Shinseikhaan: right as they were getting into the big fight
    Shinseikhaan: it was the stereotypical tropical island where a research experiment goes horribly wrong
    Shinseikhaan: and results in 30 foot komodo's that never get full despite chowing on 10 people
    GeneralHankerchief: hahahahahaha
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, kublai randomly just killed his girlfriend
    Shinseikhaan: o_O
    Shinseikhaan: any particular reason?
    GeneralHankerchief: not really, no
    Shinseikhaan: and wait
    Shinseikhaan: why does he have a girfriend and not a wfie?
    Shinseikhaan: *wife
    GeneralHankerchief: who knows if there's a difference or not?
    Shinseikhaan: kublai would be a PIMP
    Shinseikhaan: he'd have at least 5 wives
    GeneralHankerchief: and now we have a polish girl walking through the woods
    GeneralHankerchief: into a hansel/gretel house...
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: and she's in love with hercules
    Shinseikhaan: well, since he's apparently ripped and runs around in a loin cloth, i bet lots of girls are "in love" with hercules
    GeneralHankerchief: but there was a five-second shot of hercules riding a horse and looking heroically into the distance
    GeneralHankerchief: wait
    GeneralHankerchief: people are shouting "witch!"
    Shinseikhaan: wait wait wait
    Shinseikhaan: is this movie implying Hercules is a Pole?
    GeneralHankerchief: where did they all *come* from?
    Shinseikhaan: that's IMPOSSIBLE!
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, they've taken the witch in
    GeneralHankerchief: this is straight out of monty python
    Shinseikhaan: who's they?
    Shinseikhaan: random people?
    Shinseikhaan: hahah
    GeneralHankerchief: the girl and her father
    GeneralHankerchief: the sad thing is, they're serious
    Shinseikhaan: "she's a witch?"
    GeneralHankerchief: "she touched my daughter and bewitched her!"
    Shinseikhaan: haha
    GeneralHankerchief: I think the dad is Bobby Knight
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: WTF?
    GeneralHankerchief: main girl has this nasty scar on her neck
    GeneralHankerchief: "witch" noticed
    GeneralHankerchief: dad wants it covered
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: and a shooting star just landed
    Shinseikhaan: awesome
    GeneralHankerchief: she's not sure how she heard of Cracow
    Shinseikhaan: oh god
    GeneralHankerchief: and she's discussing dreams
    GeneralHankerchief: and now she has a stalker
    GeneralHankerchief: crazy bald guy is looking in the window
    Shinseikhaan: hercules?
    GeneralHankerchief: but he's gone now
    GeneralHankerchief: wait, the door is creaking open
    GeneralHankerchief: ah, here's hercules
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, crazy bald guy looks like a mongol
    Shinseikhaan: man
    Shinseikhaan: poland is a weird place
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules just fell into a pit
    Shinseikhaan: what?
    Shinseikhaan: how?
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah.
    GeneralHankerchief: in the woods.
    GeneralHankerchief: there's a snake
    Shinseikhaan: I thought he was with the girl?
    GeneralHankerchief: it's all the same woods, apparently
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: ah, he's got a whole squadron of mongols
    Shinseikhaan: GET ZE PRINCESS!
    GeneralHankerchief: he fired an arrow at point blank range and hercules just moved out of the way.
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: "I must have hit him."
    Shinseikhaan: hercules = neo
    GeneralHankerchief: after he doesn't respond to his name being called repeatedly
    Shinseikhaan: LOL
    Shinseikhaan: that's bad
    GeneralHankerchief: they don't go down to check
    Shinseikhaan: that is so bad
    GeneralHankerchief: and now he's stabbing a snake with the arrow
    GeneralHankerchief: he got rescued by a priest that randomly passed by
    Shinseikhaan: reminds me of Prom Night
    Shinseikhaan: which is really sad
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah, a bit
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, someone just fainted
    Shinseikhaan: still in the woods?
    GeneralHankerchief: cabin in the woods
    GeneralHankerchief: there may have been a murder, but I'm not positive
    Shinseikhaan: haha
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, we have it
    GeneralHankerchief: the mongols kidnapped the lead girl
    GeneralHankerchief: killed bobby knight
    Shinseikhaan: with the scar?
    Shinseikhaan: nooooooooooo!
    GeneralHankerchief: and now they've lynched the witch
    Shinseikhaan: you can't kill bobby
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah, apparently the lead girl with the scar is the princess
    GeneralHankerchief: what the princess lives in the woods?
    Shinseikhaan: he would deck you with a chair faster than you could fire off an arrow
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: wait
    GeneralHankerchief: he rescued the witch
    GeneralHankerchief: right before she burned
    Shinseikhaan: who
    Shinseikhaan: hercules?
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah
    GeneralHankerchief: and then the priest yelled at them all
    GeneralHankerchief: I think they're in a church now
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah, it's Bobby Knight's funeral
    Shinseikhaan: so
    Shinseikhaan: I found out I have a Chinese exhange student next year for a roommate
    GeneralHankerchief: nice
    Shinseikhaan: they did a damn sloppy job when informing me
    GeneralHankerchief: how so?
    Shinseikhaan: for his address
    Shinseikhaan: they listed the street
    Shinseikhaan: and apparently an apt. number
    Shinseikhaan: and then....
    Shinseikhaan: China
    GeneralHankerchief: hahahahahahahaha
    Shinseikhaan: how useful is that?
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, here's what we have:
    GeneralHankerchief: the "witch" is saying that her life is dedicated to the princess's secret, probably the scar
    GeneralHankerchief: and she says she was sent by the king of Poland
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: actually
    Shinseikhaan: lolwut?
    GeneralHankerchief: awesome, the horsemen are back
    Shinseikhaan: you know what's awesome
    GeneralHankerchief: this conversation?
    Shinseikhaan: with the right music
    Shinseikhaan: those horseman could be made to be heroes
    GeneralHankerchief: oh yeah
    Shinseikhaan: play LotR music
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah, what I was thinking
    Shinseikhaan: and everyone would be like "oh, its the heroes!
    GeneralHankerchief: "Ride for ruin, and the world's ending!"
    GeneralHankerchief: DEATHHHHHHHHH
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: I'm tearing up just typing it
    Shinseikhaan: hahaha
    Shinseikhaan: that sounds about as funny as when the Lion King made Scar into a Hitler-eque figure
    GeneralHankerchief: the mongols are reiterating that the chick's important
    Shinseikhaan rolls eyes
    GeneralHankerchief: they say she's a princess
    GeneralHankerchief: she's unaware
    Shinseikhaan: she has AMNESIA!
    Shinseikhaan: oh teh drama
    GeneralHankerchief: indeed
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: I just can't get over this whole movie
    Shinseikhaan: that they actually tell you the ending in the description
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah
    Shinseikhaan: hercules vs mongols
    Shinseikhaan: hercules as a Pole
    GeneralHankerchief: this is like the greatest thing ever
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, remember the polish prisoner from early on?
    GeneralHankerchief: he's back
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: "don't tell anyone who you are"
    GeneralHankerchief: kisses her feet
    Shinseikhaan: any particular reason?
    GeneralHankerchief: well, I'm pretty sure he knows
    Shinseikhaan: "would you tell me who I am?"
    GeneralHankerchief: wait
    GeneralHankerchief: he had a heart attack
    GeneralHankerchief: and apparently, she's his daughter
    Shinseikhaan: the prisoner?
    GeneralHankerchief: not bobby knight's
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah, I think
    Shinseikhaan: and all this is happening in the woods?
    GeneralHankerchief: no
    Shinseikhaan: these same woods?
    GeneralHankerchief: ghengis's throne room
    Shinseikhaan: what?
    Shinseikhaan: why are they there?
    Shinseikhaan: O_o
    Shinseikhaan: HOW are they there?
    Shinseikhaan: Karokorum's a LOOOOOOOOONG way off
    GeneralHankerchief: they brought her back, I guess
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, polish army's here
    GeneralHankerchief: they want to talk to hercules
    Shinseikhaan: wait
    Shinseikhaan: the pole have an army? :P
    GeneralHankerchief: oh my god
    GeneralHankerchief: now ANOTHER faction is reiterating the girl's importance
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: that prisoner was the king that reunited poland
    Shinseikhaan: talk about smaking you in the face with the plot
    GeneralHankerchief: his son is the current king and the girl is his sister
    Shinseikhaan: *smacking
    Shinseikhaan: moar drama
    Shinseikhaan: are they back in poland?
    GeneralHankerchief: I presume
    GeneralHankerchief: now hercules and the "witch" are on a quest
    GeneralHankerchief: he wants to travel until sunset
    Shinseikhaan: on a quest
    Shinseikhaan: awesome
    GeneralHankerchief: they may be bonding
    GeneralHankerchief: but I'm not sure this movie is sophisticated enough to display sexual tension
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: it does seem to have been using blunt instruments instead of plot
    GeneralHankerchief: they just let go of the horses for some reason
    GeneralHankerchief: now they're on foot
    Shinseikhaan: the mongols?
    Shinseikhaan: or the questers
    GeneralHankerchief: the questers
    GeneralHankerchief: ooh
    GeneralHankerchief: they're holding hands
    Shinseikhaan: oh
    Shinseikhaan: now now
    Shinseikhaan: lets not get too naughty
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules is half-naked
    Shinseikhaan: rofl
    Shinseikhaan: I asssume she is too?
    GeneralHankerchief: and he has the biggest pecs I've ever seen in my life
    GeneralHankerchief: no,
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: unfortunately
    GeneralHankerchief: hahahahaha
    GeneralHankerchief: he's carrying a giant log
    Shinseikhaan: what?
    Shinseikhaan: why?
    GeneralHankerchief: I have no idea
    Shinseikhaan: awesome
    GeneralHankerchief: okay
    GeneralHankerchief: he's building an epic fire
    Shinseikhaan: for the one night?
    GeneralHankerchief: I presume
    GeneralHankerchief: but it's day now!
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: so...
    Shinseikhaan: wait
    Shinseikhaan: somewhere we skipped a beat in logic :P
    GeneralHankerchief: You just came to that conclusion now?
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, I've got it
    GeneralHankerchief: there was a line of fire
    GeneralHankerchief: and that log was acting as bridge
    Shinseikhaan: a "line"?
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah
    GeneralHankerchief: so they did a bridge instead of simply walking around the fire
    Shinseikhaan: good thing fire isn't unpredictable or wildly contagious or anything
    GeneralHankerchief: she's weak
    Shinseikhaan: damn witch
    GeneralHankerchief: they shared a look as he picked her up
    Shinseikhaan: wait
    Shinseikhaan: why is the witch even coming along?
    GeneralHankerchief: I... don't... know
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: we're back in the woods
    GeneralHankerchief: the peasants are hiding from the mongols
    GeneralHankerchief: I think
    GeneralHankerchief: wait, it's not the mongols!
    GeneralHankerchief: it's hercules and the girl!
    Shinseikhaan: so...
    Shinseikhaan: they're back in poland?
    Shinseikhaan: somehow?
    GeneralHankerchief: I guess it's another set of woods
    GeneralHankerchief: either that or they backtracked
    GeneralHankerchief: the people don't seem to hate her
    Shinseikhaan: or lacked funds for a proper second forest set
    Shinseikhaan: :P
    GeneralHankerchief: hmm, I wonder which one.
    Shinseikhaan: did you see the belmont?
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah
    Shinseikhaan: that was fairly exciting
    GeneralHankerchief: yeah
    GeneralHankerchief: three horses coming down the final turn and none of them one :P
    GeneralHankerchief: won*
    GeneralHankerchief: gah gah gah
    Shinseikhaan: ya
    Shinseikhaan: i figured mine that bird had it
    GeneralHankerchief: went too early
    Shinseikhaan: but the trainer pushed him to early
    Shinseikhaan: ack
    GeneralHankerchief: summer bird stole his usual lane
    Shinseikhaan: man, I am bummed about my colts
    Shinseikhaan: damn leage forced our o coordinator and o line coach to retire
    GeneralHankerchief: wait, they forced them?
    GeneralHankerchief: update: ghengis is forcing the princess to marry his son
    GeneralHankerchief: continue
    Shinseikhaan: *forced* in the same way the US gov't *forces* states into educational reform
    GeneralHankerchief: that blows
    Shinseikhaan: basically
    Shinseikhaan: if they wanted pensions
    GeneralHankerchief: Moore was godly
    Shinseikhaan: they had to retire asap
    Shinseikhaan: mudd was godly too
    Shinseikhaan: we stuck so many no name guys on our line forever
    Shinseikhaan: and he made them pretty darn good
    GeneralHankerchief: wait wait wait
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules is about to kill a crocodile
    GeneralHankerchief: or a gator
    Shinseikhaan: :O
    Shinseikhaan: what?
    GeneralHankerchief: in a swamp in poland.
    GeneralHankerchief: or farther east.
    GeneralHankerchief: I don't know.
    GeneralHankerchief: he's punching its head
    Shinseikhaan: aren't they supposed to be going to Mongolia?
    GeneralHankerchief: yes.
    Shinseikhaan: instead of gator rassling
    GeneralHankerchief: oh my god, the special effects are horrible
    GeneralHankerchief: it's just a rubber gator
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: hahsahahah
    Shinseikhaan: like happy gilmore/
    Shinseikhaan: ?
    GeneralHankerchief: there's this crazy yellow eye that doesn't even blink
    Shinseikhaan: rofl
    GeneralHankerchief: far, far worse
    GeneralHankerchief: he's stabbing it with a knife
    Shinseikhaan dies
    GeneralHankerchief: it's dead.
    GeneralHankerchief: no blood.
    Shinseikhaan: this is too good
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, he's in a borderland.
    GeneralHankerchief: he refuses to tell the guy his name.
    Shinseikhaan: the Polish/Mongolian border, I assume?
    GeneralHankerchief: "Maybe some day I'll tell you my name. It was my strength that saved me, not my name."
    GeneralHankerchief: probably :P
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: that made no sense
    Shinseikhaan: that was a horrible line
    GeneralHankerchief: ghengis khan has a midget jester
    Shinseikhaan: haha
    Shinseikhaan: gary coleman?
    GeneralHankerchief: shorter and whiter.
    Shinseikhaan: damn
    Shinseikhaan: gary coleman as jester would be great
    GeneralHankerchief: oh god
    GeneralHankerchief: I would die
    Shinseikhaan: except
    Shinseikhaan: any movie that would be in
    Shinseikhaan: would have to intend to be funny
    GeneralHankerchief: for some reason the jesters are wearing european clothes
    GeneralHankerchief: wait, WHAT?!
    GeneralHankerchief: they just introduced "Hercules reborn"
    Shinseikhaan: :O
    GeneralHankerchief: in the Mongol palace
    Shinseikhaan: what?
    Shinseikhaan: what in the hell?
    GeneralHankerchief: so, is it a clone or something?
    Shinseikhaan: rofl
    GeneralHankerchief: because I think true hercules is still doing his thing.
    Shinseikhaan: SEND IN THE CLONES!
    Shinseikhaan: now what we need
    Shinseikhaan: is for real hercules
    Shinseikhaan: to fight hercules reborn
    Shinseikhaan: then have the witch have a gun
    Shinseikhaan: and have to decide which to shoot
    GeneralHankerchief: this keeps getting better and better.
    GeneralHankerchief: unless...
    GeneralHankerchief: he infiltrated the Mongol palace and is in fact the real one
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: magically?
    GeneralHankerchief: ghengis is under the impression that Hercules is dead
    Shinseikhaan: wait?
    Shinseikhaan: did ghengis send the gator or something? O_o
    GeneralHankerchief: remember the guys that tried to shoot him in the pit?
    Shinseikhaan: oh right
    Shinseikhaan: ya
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    Shinseikhaan: "ARE YOU STILL ALIVE DOWN THERE?!"
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, now we have a fight between hercules and the mongol champion
    Shinseikhaan: the real one or the reborn one?
    GeneralHankerchief: who knows?
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: polish princess is frightened
    GeneralHankerchief: I think it's the real one
    GeneralHankerchief: he just gave the princess a look
    Shinseikhaan: wait
    Shinseikhaan: I thought he was with the witch?
    Shinseikhaan: i mean...
    Shinseikhaan: THEY HELD HANDS!!11!
    GeneralHankerchief: maybe he gets them both
    Shinseikhaan: he is hercules, after all
    GeneralHankerchief: I have no doubt he has the capability to pull it off
    GeneralHankerchief: and he won the fight.
    Shinseikhaan: the stuliest Pole in histlory
    Shinseikhaan: *history
    Shinseikhaan: I can't get over how Hercules is pollish
    Shinseikhaan: that's just so...
    Shinseikhaan: wrong
    GeneralHankerchief: you'd think they'd at least attempt to Policize his name
    Shinseikhaan: how?
    Shinseikhaan: by adding three w's and 4 z's?
    GeneralHankerchief: I'm pretty sure I saw a hammer and sickle on the mongol flag
    Shinseikhaan: ROFL
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, I have it wrong
    GeneralHankerchief: when hercules gave the princess a look, it was actually the witch
    Shinseikhaan: what, the mongol flag is on the hammerand sickle?
    GeneralHankerchief: I got the two mixed up
    Shinseikhaan: ah
    GeneralHankerchief: and now the witch may or may not be betraying him
    GeneralHankerchief: this needs to be posted on the org once it gets back up.
    Shinseikhaan: haha
    Shinseikhaan: ya
    Shinseikhaan: I would advise spoilers :P
    GeneralHankerchief: he's trying to bust the princess out
    GeneralHankerchief: ko'd five guards
    Shinseikhaan: so when did he get from poland to mongolia?
    GeneralHankerchief: no idea.
    GeneralHankerchief: HAHAHAHA
    Shinseikhaan: wut?
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules walks up ahead
    GeneralHankerchief: a cage drops over him
    GeneralHankerchief: it looks like the witch betrayed him
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    Shinseikhaan: nobody ever expects the cage droppping from overhead
    Shinseikhaan: and I'm sure its "hercules-proof"
    GeneralHankerchief: and now kublai is messing with her
    GeneralHankerchief: they're fighting
    GeneralHankerchief: she's dead.
    Shinseikhaan: o_O
    Shinseikhaan: ok
    GeneralHankerchief: final words: "forgive me. I did this because I love you."
    Shinseikhaan: oh god
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    Shinseikhaan: "I imprisoned you in a cage in your mortal enemy's palace"
    Shinseikhaan: "because I love you"
    Shinseikhaan: riiiiiiiiiiiight
    GeneralHankerchief: and now kublai is fighting his own men
    Shinseikhaan: huh?
    GeneralHankerchief: because apparently he lacks honor
    GeneralHankerchief: the cage is not hercules proof.
    Shinseikhaan: what, for killing the witch?
    GeneralHankerchief: no, for "not honoring his pledge"
    GeneralHankerchief: whatever that was.
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules is out.
    Shinseikhaan: i know what this needs
    Shinseikhaan: another gator
    GeneralHankerchief: hahahaha
    GeneralHankerchief: oh yeah.
    Shinseikhaan: kublai vs gator vs hercules
    Shinseikhaan: IN THE STEEL CAGE!
    GeneralHankerchief: slowly filling up with water
    Shinseikhaan: what?
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules just kicked a guy
    Shinseikhaan: where's the water coming from?
    GeneralHankerchief: there was about six inches of daylight
    GeneralHankerchief: no, that was a hypothetical scenario
    Shinseikhaan: oh
    Shinseikhaan: yes
    Shinseikhaan: that's sad
    Shinseikhaan: I thought you were actually describing this movie
    GeneralHankerchief: I doubt there's much difference.
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, he's making out with the princess
    Shinseikhaan: wha?
    GeneralHankerchief: jumped out of a three-story window, landed on his feet
    Shinseikhaan: did he kill kublai?
    GeneralHankerchief: no
    Shinseikhaan: pansy
    Shinseikhaan: so he ran away?
    GeneralHankerchief: now kublai is demanding the princess to marry him
    Shinseikhaan: wait
    Shinseikhaan: hercules didn't take her with him?
    GeneralHankerchief: no
    GeneralHankerchief: he gave an explanation, but I didn't understand it
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    GeneralHankerchief: I think kublai is planning to kill ghengis
    GeneralHankerchief: yup, the guy that lost to hercules is strangling him
    GeneralHankerchief: he's dead.
    Shinseikhaan: what?
    Shinseikhaan: hercules is dead?
    GeneralHankerchief: no, ghengis khan.
    Shinseikhaan: wha...
    Shinseikhaan: wha...
    Shinseikhaan: but...
    Shinseikhaan: how...
    Shinseikhaan: why?
    Shinseikhaan: ack
    GeneralHankerchief: polish army is ready to capitalize on the war of mongol succession
    GeneralHankerchief: they're driving for tornoval
    Shinseikhaan: driving?
    GeneralHankerchief: OH MY GOD
    GeneralHankerchief: b-movie effects at its finest
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: you're supposed to see the army walking up to the castle
    Shinseikhaan: better than the gator?
    GeneralHankerchief: but the castle is just being dragged across the screen
    Shinseikhaan: ROFL
    GeneralHankerchief: while marching noises are still being played
    Shinseikhaan: ahaha
    GeneralHankerchief: battle scene
    Shinseikhaan: I wish I could see this
    GeneralHankerchief: this is so epic
    GeneralHankerchief: so the princess is tied to a section of wall
    GeneralHankerchief: kublai cuts it loose
    Shinseikhaan: naturally
    GeneralHankerchief: it's supposed to fall and crush her
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules rushes in to save her
    GeneralHankerchief: so they're supposedly pinned down
    GeneralHankerchief: but of course, you can see the wood is as flimsy as anything
    Shinseikhaan: lol
    GeneralHankerchief: there's horses trampling over it
    GeneralHankerchief: wait, somehow they got out
    GeneralHankerchief: now kublai's got her
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    Shinseikhaan: hercules is terrible
    GeneralHankerchief: well, he's going after her
    GeneralHankerchief: somehow there's a cave in the castle
    GeneralHankerchief: battle rages outside.
    GeneralHankerchief: no way
    Shinseikhaan: *rages*
    GeneralHankerchief: Polish cavalry to the rescue!!!
    GeneralHankerchief: there's about 12 guys on horses
    Shinseikhaan: LOL
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules is in the cave, trying to break in
    Shinseikhaan: break in?
    Shinseikhaan: its a cave
    GeneralHankerchief: they sealed a room
    GeneralHankerchief: somehow
    Shinseikhaan: does it have a padlocked door?
    GeneralHankerchief: he moved a huge block of stone
    Shinseikhaan: 'cuz Kubla is a beast, obviously
    GeneralHankerchief: no, hercules did that
    Shinseikhaan: oh
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, now he's walking through fire
    GeneralHankerchief: but he's got a big rock as a shield
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, now the guy who killed ghengis is feeling remorse
    GeneralHankerchief: there's a room with four people:
    GeneralHankerchief: hercules, the girl, kublai, and ghengis's killer
    GeneralHankerchief: NO WAY
    GeneralHankerchief: another cage came down
    Shinseikhaan: rofl
    GeneralHankerchief: but kublai got impaled by it
    GeneralHankerchief: he's dead.
    Shinseikhaan: wtf?
    GeneralHankerchief: the mongols are retreating...
    GeneralHankerchief: ghengis's killer took an arrow to the chest
    Shinseikhaan: because they naturally knew automatically that kublai had died
    GeneralHankerchief: just like in Total War :P
    GeneralHankerchief: okay, the king's explanation to the princess is because they hid her for her own safety.
    Shinseikhaan: say what?
    Shinseikhaan: you DON'T DO THAT
    GeneralHankerchief: worked for Leia.
    Shinseikhaan: because she was literally in danger
    Shinseikhaan: you don't just send off every random princess to nowhere because of someting that might happen
    GeneralHankerchief: movie's wrapping up.
    GeneralHankerchief: mongols are leaving
    GeneralHankerchief: THIS IS AWESOME
    Shinseikhaan: another gator fight?
    GeneralHankerchief: the guy from the very beginning who lied about killing hercules is the new Khan
    Shinseikhaan: oh god
    GeneralHankerchief: somehow hercules is by the water with the princess
    Shinseikhaan: and they share a kiss as the movie pans out
    GeneralHankerchief: final line: "and I will love you forever"
    GeneralHankerchief: no kiss though
    Shinseikhaan: wow
    Shinseikhaan: tame movie
    GeneralHankerchief: wide-angle shot of the two on horseback
    GeneralHankerchief: fade to block
    GeneralHankerchief: credits are superimposed over mongol horsemen.
    Shinseikhaan: most extreme it got was literally holding hands
    GeneralHankerchief: black*
    Shinseikhaan: man
    Shinseikhaan: that went surprisingly fast
    Shinseikhaan: as last on this end
    Shinseikhaan: idk, it might've lasted forever actually watching it
    GeneralHankerchief: not really
    GeneralHankerchief: that was well worth my time.
    Shinseikhaan: :D
    Shinseikhaan: i love the random cages falling
    Shinseikhaan: man
    Shinseikhaan: that's just
    Shinseikhaan: bad
    GeneralHankerchief: Classic B-movie glory.


    (note to mods: I think I got all of the language out of there. My apologies if I missed anything.)

    If you're interested, I'm sure you can find this movie if you look hard enough. In addition, khaan and I may have to do this again should the .Org go down once more.

    Oh man. That was pretty crazy, I can't believe I read it all. I'd like to see what khaan wrote about The Other Boleyn Girl if it's as funny as you say.
