openKung Fu Cartoon/Anime? Anime
I remember watching this show late at night on Disney Channel (The Asian network to be exact, since I live in Asia) and it's about three people, 2 guys and one girl who I remember wore pink. I remember it being pretty dark for a cartoon and had some mature themes. The only episode that I remember from it is when their Master died (the way they showed it was pretty terrifying, white lifeless eyes) and they have to try to revive him I think. I think this may be a Chinese cartoon dubbed into English for other asian audiences but I think it might be western or even Japanese. The chances of it being Japanese is a bit high since Disney Channel has some anime in it at least in our part of the world. For western, it's a possibility since it was in English but that doesn't mean it's outright western. Chinese, we don't really get lots of chinese stuff here since there is a separate channel for that kind of stuff BUT it started premiering waaay after I saw this so I really did see this on Disney Channel.
EDIT: One or all of the three characters can be seen multiple times in this video specifically at 0:20, 0:29, 1:04, 1:11. The Master can be seen at 0:35 (i think thats him) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy0uTxW9tCQ I tried reverse image search but nothing comes up.
Edited by agatorgoeropenMovie with a witch? Film
Hi, I remember seeing a short segment from a movie set in the medieval era, the hero (who kinda reminded me of Íñigo Montoya) entered an old big house and in the house lived an old witch, there were spider webs everywhere and there was a kind of desk or table between them (the desk and the witch were some steps higher) and the hero was pointing the sword at the witch, maybe saying he wanted revenge, or trying to rescue a girl (I recall the witch had a girl prisoner) Sorry, that's all I remember :(
Edited by Azure-ReflexopenBoard game about space?
So I had this board game for a short while about space. It was supposed to be educational, and it had quotes about its educational value on the back. You and the other players are alien (I think) and you are exploring space. You can land of undiscovered planets. These are generated with a spinner and require equipment to land on. Their are tools like element-to-element converters (For breathing) and stuff like pressure and gravity controllers to help you survive. I believe that you have base stats that determine what you need (You breathe CO 2, live in the cold, stuff like that.) Their is a black hole that can stuck you in. It was something like "Roll 1, get sucked in. Roll 2, go to the alternate dimension. Roll 3, escape". The alternate dimension was a smaller looping board the you had to roll certain numbers to escape. At some point, you had to answer space trivia. The answers were in a big book that came with the game called something like "Y's (Y, I beilve, was the name of an superintellegent alien) Book of Answers". Please help!
openGirl Who Could Burp On Command? Literature
I remember reading a (Fairly short) book about a girl that could burp on command. I believe it had illustrations. The girl's older brother can burp on command, and the girl asks him how. He tells her and she starts burping really well. Her burps are super powerful and near the end she either knows down the plane of keeps it afloat (She is in the plane). When she first learns how to burp, she either burps her teddy bear or herself off her bed.
openBeat em up about high school? Videogame
So I remember finding a steam page for a game that hadn't been released yet about a tall and thin high school kid. The video had the principal explaining how dangerous the mission (I think he needed the kid to do something) would be and that he was depending on the kid. I believe it had upgradable attacks and special attacks (I think). I remember a scene when the kid was using an attack where he rode a surfboard on a wave or there were sharks on surf boards (Something like that) and there was cactus enemies (This was in a desert. I went to find this and found out I had no bookmarks or anything about this. It had a very cartoony art style (Almost cupheadish) Please help! (Edit: I found it, it was Super Daryl Deluxe. Also, I'm not sure if editing bumps posts up in the chronological feed, so if it does, my sincerest apologies.)
Edited by BurntToastopenSong on Far Cry 5 Soundtrack/Score Videogame
I don’t want to go through and listen to every song on each of the seven thousand soundtracks that have been released for Far Cry 5 so
Does anybody know the name of the instrumental version of “Help Me Faith” in the score?
There are three tracks by the name “Help Me Faith” but they all have lyrics, so if the instrumental version is available, it must have a different name.
Thanks 💖

openSome movie where a guy gets run over by a steamroller
I once saw what I think was the ending of a film on TV where a crazy guy was riding a steamroller and chasing some guy while laughing maniacally, eventually running over and killing him. I think the steamroller guy said he was doing it because the other guy stole his french fries. Judging from the tone of the scene I think the film was a comedy.
openMafia Bar Shoot Out
I saw the ending of some gangster movie on TV once, where two Mafia factions get in a shoot out at what was either a bar or a restaurant, and everyone involved is killed except for who I think was the leader of one of the groups, who's very surprised at his survival and miraculously didn't even get shot. He proceeds to leave the area, only to then get run over by someone in a car who might have been a surviving member of the other gang, and then die on the street.
Edited by marstonopenTV early 1960s, boy captured, heated silver band around his head, tossed him in the snow Anime
I saw this on the local ABC/CBS/NBC affiliate in Buffalo NY . Animated feature or an episode of a TV show, late 1950s early '60s, a boy taken prisoner, they put a heated silver band around his head and toss him out in the snow, it cools, shrinks, he screams. I also remember there was a tiger in the story, it was set in the mountains in some Asian country.
I've asked all over, no leads yet. Any help most appreciated.
Thank you!
openMovie/Show
A show i used to watch in elementary school with a little girl with blonde hair, pigtails and a yellow jumpsuit that lived in a house with a circle window. I remember in one scene she was playing hopscotch outside at recess with a group of her friends.
openWeird series I watched on Netflix about death and murder and just plan weird things
Netflix series, the episodes are odd and tied together in weird ways. There were very few episodes but the name was something like a website for murderers
openA CREEPY TV SHOW IN THE 90s-00s Live Action TV
there was a tv show, a lil bit creepy, with witches and maybe zombies lived in this gothic house and the most vivid thing that i remember was that kid which was a muppet or a doll that comes to life
openER episode Live Action TV
I saw this in 1994-95. One episode had a scene of where one of the female nurses went to someone's house and saw a baby on an infant car seat. She also saw a note. She took the baby to I think a wedding, because the parents (I think it was the parents) either wanted to leave the baby or one forgot, it was very sad. Anyway, can anyone please tell me the title of the episode? Thank you.
Edited by thestormtrooperopenOld Anime about a Water Drop Anime
Ok so this is very obscure, I only remember seeing the ending when I was a kid, and I can say is an anime because the text was in japanese, It was the first and only time I saw it but I couldn't forget it for some reason. So what I remember is this water drop with eyes and mouth I don't remember if it had arms and legs, and a beautiful woman with white hair, typical 90's anime style... and that's it..
Hi guys, I'm trying to find this one edutainment game from the early 00s or maybe late 90s, for the mac and pc. It was in the style of a gameshow. It had two hosts, both kids, one girl and one boy. You never actually saw them completely - they would wave from out of frame during the beginning cutscene and you'd see their arms, but nothing else - just hear their voice.
You could choose an avatar to play as for the game. There were many of them, and they were all kind of weird, things like toasters and forks. They were 3d renderings. I believe they would emote different things if you had a bad turn or something, by crying, etc, but i'm not sure. I can't remember if there was a game board or roulette or what, but I do remember there were many, many minigames you would play, one per turn. I unfortunately do not remember any except for one. You were a small robot shaped like a bug, and you had a top down view of a maze. You navigated this maze by the bug-bot turning its body 90 degree angles every second or so and you would only press forward if it was looking in the direction you wanted to move. It was a weird way to move and it was really hard for me which was probably why it is the only minigame i could remember. The goal was to find some key, or door, or somesort and navigate to the end in the time limit.
It is possible this game was more of a regular game and not necessarily educational, because I can't remember any specific topics they would quiz you on, but i want to assume that it was. It was not associated with any big name characters at all, and was probably from a very small studio, and advanced google searches does not bring up much relevant results at all.
