Fazhoul Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations Great suggestion! I had never heard about these films. Thanks. I forgot to mention that Turner Classic Movies usually plays one or more of the Chandu movies from time to time. You might want to keep an eye out for them. If you've got Tivo you can set it to watch for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations To "Supreme Serpent" I think that that Tom Selleck movie was called "High Road To China" when it was shown doen here ! I agree it would make a great Pulp adventure ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSgeekHero Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations How's about some pulp sports: Pride of the Yankees The Natural Just a couple off the top of my head. I might think of more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewing Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations If you include "Tailspin' date='" you can't leave out Miyazaki's [i']Porco Rosso[/i]. The similarities are too good to ignore. Absolutely. also check out the game "Crimson Skies" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agemegos Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations To "Thoth Amon" I think that I have seen that Jackie Chan movie; but I thought that it had yet ANOTHER title when shown here in Australia ! Mr Canton & Madam Rose, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSgeekHero Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations I'm watching a movie set in the pulp era. I forgot all about it. It's a really good movie about high stakes poker... The Cincinnati Kid. It's got tons of good stars in it. Steve McQueen Edward G. Robinson and Ann Margret--SUPER HOTTIE!!! Tuesday Weld--ANOTHER HOTTIE Like I said, As I think of them, or watch them, I'll throw them up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undertow Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations There was also a remake of High Plains Drifter set in the 1920-30's called last Man Standing it stared Bruce Willis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually its a remake of Kurasawa's Yojimbo... but then so is High Plains Drifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csyphrett Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations I believe its Fistful of Dollars instead of High Plains Drifter. They're both cool Eastwood movies I guess but I prefer FoD to HPD. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations You beat me to it "Worldmaker". Both "A Fistful Of Dollars" and "Last Man Standing" are American copies/remakes/ripoffs of Kurasawa's classic "Yojimbo" ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations Not related to movies, but the following site has free old time radio shows from the Pulp Era. They aren't all specifically pulps (some of the shows are radio adaptations of characters who appeared in various pulp publications (i.e., phillip marlowe, flash gordon, etc.), but they give a decent feel for the era in question (and they're free): http://www.radiolovers.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamrok Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations Actually its a remake of Kurasawa's Yojimbo... but then so is High Plains Drifter. And Yojimbo is based on Dashiell Hammet's "Red Harvest" which is a pulp-era classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted May 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations OK, folx, I think this is getting a little off-topic. I don't much care which film was inspired by/ripped off/copied which film, book, or what have you. You're welcome to discuss such things in NGD, since I know they're a lot of fun to debate, but let's stick to plain ol' recommendations here.

gewing Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations I was thinking today that my favorite of the Doc Smith books would be a GREAT pulp sci/fi basis. Masters of the Vortex aka The Vortex Blaster. It was in the Lensman's world, but I liked it MUCH better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations To "Gewing" I know that it is a different sydtem but have you ever had a look at "Gurps Lensman" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Re: Pulp Film Recommendations A couple of recent films that could be adapted to a "Pulp" game with little difficulty are "National Treasure" and "Sahara". I think that both of these plots, moved back in time tio the appropriate period, could work quite well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't. I have several Gurps sourcebooks, but my purchasing of gaming books is much lower than it used to be, and Lensman except for that one book was an annoying world to me.
