The FUNNY GAMES Fallout
I just read on Wikipedia that the awful American remake of the equally awful original piece of fecal matter "film" known as FUNNY GAMES bombed so completely -- making back less than half of its modest budget -- that it played a large part in the collapse of its distributor, Tartan Films. Tartan had done some terrific work lately through its "Asia Extreme" arm in bringing Asian horror and thriller flicks to a Western audience.

Sure, GAMES (in either incarnation) had some nice scenes of interest to us, but overall the pretentious mess was an insult to the fans of its genre. And now it's cost us Tartan.

Will the echoes from this craptacular failure never fade away? Leo "the Unforgiving"

Tartan Films
Tartan Films also did the Hillsde Strangler movie, which had some pretty intense bondage scenes. They were off to a pretty good start.
They pretty much took a gamble with Funny Games and investe more than they could afford to lose, expecting a big payoff, and they lost.
Howver, it paid off for us in bushels. We have Naomi Watts tied in her underwear for a good chunk of the movie.

Really? The site I went to (a CBS Shows site) must have had a typo & left out the "n" in her last name. It just had it listed as "Rachel Mier". Thanks.

And BTW...first scene is at around the 45-minute mark, second scene very near the end, maybe the 55-minute mark.

"Hayden... had her hands behind her,..."
Hayden (Sigh...) sure gets captured a lot and tied up quite a bit (Y'know, for your average hot blond high school cheerleader type) but damn, they sure don't mind her yelling and/or mouthing off do they?

It's called a gag, future Hayden capturer's/kidnappers. Learn to use one soon, eh?

It was actually a nice little scene. Ali was secured to a chair in the back of a truck with a hood over her head. After some conversation, they forcibly put the tube back in her nose and then put the hood back over head.

In the same vein, "Jupiter's Darling" which gave us one excellent scene of Esther Williams bound and gagged as well as several other scenes of her in bondage, including one which was a sort of seduction scene, was one of a string of big-budget box office flops that was "credited" with doing in MGM. (There's a lesson in there somewhere for moviemakers -- one that I hope they never learn).

Still the guys at Tartan get no sympathy from me. How could any human being with something besides oatmeal in his head sit through the original "Funny Games" and then think, "Yeah! A shot-for-shot remake of this film about a nice family being tortured and killed by psychopaths who TOTALLY get away with it will go over BIG TIME at the box office!"? Good lord, there's some stupid people out there, and some of them made decisions at Tartan.

Then again, how did they get Naomi Watts to star in it? Perhaps she missed being tightly tape-gagged

To say nothing of the "arty" aspects of the film - not showing the violent events, rewinding the action with a magic remote, breaking the 4th wall for snide remarks from the punks, meant that it didn't even work as a horror movie.

Watts in a new movie about a bank heist that looks promising for a scene. Think it's called "The International."

Leo thanks for the info on Tartan. I also went to Wikipedia and read about Tartan's collapse. Yes, their particiaption in co-distributing "Funny Games" with Warner Independent (defunct as well) did them in.

I just wanted to add that when I read the all the information it's not like everything went dead. Tartan had a very valueable library thanks to the Asia Extreme movies. The Palisades Media Group bought them out and now the comapny is called "Palisades Tartan". The trilogy movies "Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance", "Old Boy", and "Lady Vengeance" are Asia Extreme Classics.

As you seem to have seen a lot of these movies, perhaps you can help me remember the name of one. The hero - Hercules, Samson, Ursus, or whoever - was chained or perhaps just in a pit by a single pillar. Every few minutes four or six strongmen would walk over the walls above him carrying a huge stone slab with a hole in the middle which they would fit over the column and drop down to be held up by the hero. I can't remember if there was a girl chained there as well, but at the time I thought it was about the coolest scene in movie history. Thanks to anyone who can help.

The picture of this lady brings up something which may or may not interest others. I have always thought that a woman looks sexiest when her legs are tied together rather simply at the ankles and stretched out straight or just slightly bent at the knees. Of course it helps if she has nice long legs and minimal covering on them. I just don't get the same "charge" when the legs are tied apart or bent back in a hogtie or frogtie or whatever. Wonder if others have a certain way they most like to see the damsel's legs.

Yeah, I totally agree. I could write about a 1,000 words about why "tortureporn" is pretty close to the exact opposite of what attract most of us to the Damsel-in-Distress depicted in Mainstream Media, but I won't bother. After all, it would be about Mainstream Media that depicts Damsels-in-Distress, which is off-topic, as opposed to Damsels-in-Distress depicted in Mainstream Media, which is on-topic. We have to stay focused like a laser and be ready to "discuss" the next new episode of the next cop/detective series in which a female guest star gets arrested in the last scene and is slapped in handcuffs.

I think it might be "Hercules Against the Barbarians." Go to the page at my homepage link and see if the vidcap at the very bottom of the page doesn't stir up any memories.

The remake was a damn shame because Naomi Watts is beautiful IMHO (not some people's cup of tea so I've read here). I was so excited about her scene(s) when I heard about them and hoped the movie might be scaled down in brutality at least a little for the U.S. audience and based on her name recognition. No such luck. I find the scenes basically unwatchable for the most part. At this point these scenes are worse than the worst loosey gag and I considered it a total waste (since most actresses only do a few at best).

I'm almost ready to start a worst DIDn'ts or worst DIDs thread. But I won't. ;)
