| The Ninja films of Godrey Ho | the ingenius enabling of Joseph Lai | Emperor Ing, RAKninja, AshcrementVII, Moogle, ChrisGendo | A master filmography of cut-and-paste Z-grade action films often using a world's worth of stolen music in the background of certain scenes. The characters frequently dress in brightly colored ninja-suits, sometimes with the word NINJA emblazoned on them, and engage in NINJA CHALLENGES with each other, often becoming brutally murdered in the process. One film in particular, Ninja: Silent Assassin(1987) was often singled out for usage due its signature scene of two bumbling drug lords lashing out in obscenities when their "stuff" gets "torched"("BURNED??"). | |
| Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo | Sōji Yoshikawa(director) | Crash2991 | The first film anime adaption of Monkey Punch's manga and emblematic of the "red jacket" era, our main character among other things fakes his death in Dracula's castle, runs into a clone of Adolf Hitler, learns he may possibly be a clone himself, and essentially deals with his universe's version of Dr. Andross as the main antagonist. Used frequently by Crash during 2008 and 2009. | |
| The Great Mouse Detective | Walt Disney Pictures | AshcrementVII | Essentially "Sherlock Holmes with mice", the cunning Basil of Baker Street faces off in a battle of wits with the large, intimidating and show-stopping villian Professor Ratigan, who will assure you in no uncertain terms and punitive coercion that, despite his name and physical appearance, he is NOT A RAT. |
