game of death was horribly done . i have the first box set that has chinese connection , fist of fury , way of the dragon , a special dvd and of course game of death .
the film uses 11 minutes of the original game of death , which is cautiously edited to not star any of bruce ' s associates .
heading over to netflix now to re - watch game of death… . cut the bullshit ! lol
lol great great review . now i have to see game of death . that towel bit is gold !
and before then , two films made to capitalize on the legend of game of death were made , goodbye bruce lee : his last game of death ( 1975 , starring bruce li ) and enter the game of death ( 1977 , starring bruce le ) . . . and one after , the true game of death ( 1981 , starring
bruce lee siao - long
) , which ripped off the general plot and sometimes whole segments of the film were redone almost shot for shot .

i agree with you , james . game of death ii > game of death . part 2 was so much more entertaining , and the guy who played bruce lee’s brother did a great job of portraying jeet kune do . and you can’t go wrong with hwang jang lee as the baddie .
8 although death race 98 is sometimes referenced as a sequel to death race , based on advertisements , death race and death race 98 appear to be the same game . even the cabinet graphics are identical save for the insertion of the
98
on the banner displaying the name of the game . death race 98 is first advertised in replay in march 1976 and death race is first advertised in the april 1976 issue . given the proximity of these ads to each other and to other coverage of the game death race , with no mention of death race 98 , they appear to have been part of the same publicity campaign . the evidence offered by industry coverage from the time period suggests , as i believe , that they were treated interchangeably by the manufacture .

great review . i guess i need to watch game of death ii . i bought that same set for $ 5 at a yard sale and could barely finish the final .
so the uncompleted footage for the game of death sat and collected dust , with some of it being misplaced and lost . greedy producers weren ' t about to let this stand , so in 1978 , they enlisted the director of etd , robert clouse , to make a new film using the surviving footage , footage from other times in lee ' s career , and newly - filmed footage . the result is known simply as game of death .
kareem abdul - jabbar : you have forgotten , that i too am not afraid of death .
too bad about game of death . at least bruce’s son’s last film , the crow , could be completed and end up being a really great movie despite the fact that brandon lee also died during the film’s production . hey , you should do a review of the crow movies , now that i think about it .
death race not only helped establish the exidy brand , the game established a pattern for future moral panics regarding video games . death race may have been the first of these , but controversy greeted a variety of subsequent games , many of which , like death race enjoyed a spike in sales because of the publicity . while for the remainder of the ꞌ70s and the early part of the ꞌ80s the public debate on video games moved from concerns over specific text to worries about the arcades themselves , the issue of violence remained simmering in the background , boiling over at the release of certain games or in the face of particularly horrifying acts of violence perpetuated by youth . two particularly infamous game franchises , carmageddon ( 1997 ) and grand theft auto ( 1997 ) draw inspiration directly from death race 2000 and the legacy of the death race game .
the gameplay of death race is similar to more recent games like carmageddon ( 1997 ) and grand theft auto ( 1997 ) , which allow players to drive over human or humanoid figures in the game world , and which i will discuss in more depth later . death race can be played as a one - or two - player game . the operator could adjust the game to give players between 80 and 135 seconds of playtime per purchased game with games costing 25 cents for a single - player game and 50 cents for a two - player game . each player operates one of two on - screen cars using a steering wheel , pedal , and a shift lever . the objective of play is to hit as many
gremlins
as possible . each struck gremlin leaves behind a cross - shaped tombstone which becomes an in - game obstacle for the duration of the game ; because of this , each possible iteration of the game would have a somewhat unique playing field depending on how many gremlins were struck and where they were struck .
filming for both parts started officially on february 15 , 2009 [ 31 ] and ended on june 12 , 2010 . [ 32 ]

“as if this film weren’t trippy enough , ” one of the colourists quipped .
( note : these differences are based upon the 2010 theatrical release ; it remains to be seen whether future release of deleted scenes , or an extended version of the film , on dvd / blu - ray might address some of these differences . )
i have yet to watch enter the dragon . i will . one warning , if you watch game of death and game of death ii , do it so only for the purpose to reinforce how different a bruce lee movie feels when he’s actually around , and that is to say that bruce is fucking awesome but his copycats are complete rubbish at even being his copycats .
yeah i saw game of death as well & i agre that it was shitty to complet a film with out bruce lee . & fuck kill bill what a peace of cunt faced cock sucking bitch piss , who the hell does silva survermen think she is what a dike
in late 1972 , bruce lee was in the middle of filming the film that was to showcase his personal style of jeet kune do , the game of death when he received an offer to star in enter the dragon . the first kung fu film to be produced by a hollywood studio , and with a budget unprecedented for the genre , it was an offer lee was unable to refuse . he was slated to resume filming the game of death as soon as that was finished . alas , before etd was even released , he died .
then here’s my impression for game of death : yes , that’s right . it is horrible… horrible . like omfg what were they thinking . i understand that they tried to make a movie out of the remnant footage of bruce lee before his death , but come on this is just ridiculous . i can’t even imagine how bad game of death 2 is going to be . the only reason i don’t shit on this movie anymore is because there is at most 20 minutes of footage with the real bruce lee near the end of the movie .
an unrelated movie made due to high demand for more bruce , using recycled lee footage as well as deleted enter the dragon footage , new scenes choreographed by yuen woo - ping and kim tai chung , called tower of death , was released in 1981 and in some markets called game of death ii .
it’s ned stark vs . melisandre , and , not unlike game of thrones , it’s bleak as all hell .
death race followed on the success of exidy ' s destruction derby ( 1975 ) , which had sold well . however , while destruction derby was one of at least three car crash games on the market , death race was presented as something innovative and exciting 5 . the first of a series of advertisements for the game to appear in trade journal replay boasted of the game ' s unique design and linked it to a variety of historical car and motorcycle - loving bad guys :
a scene is added showing death eaters stopping and searching the hogwarts express . their intentions are left ambiguous until explained by xenophilius lovegood much later in the film .
the second advertisement for death race to appear in replay ran the next month in the april 1976 issue . perhaps in acknowledgement of a feature covering the game ' s release in the issue , the ad features simple typography with a photographic image of the game cabinet ( death race from exidy , 1976 ) . exidy ' s marketing and sales manager linda robertson suggests the graphics were at least as important to the game as the gameplay :
the artwork alone on this game . . . showing the skeletons , gremlins and graveyard . . . is certain to invite immediate player interest . the play of the game is so much fun they ' l come back again and again
( death race from exidy , 1976 ) . more obviously appealing directly to operators , the ad includes promises of high profits and excellent technical service :
had no idea game of death 2 was that entertaining . was still pretty pissed off about the 1st g . o . d . , guess i should check it out . thanks for another great review !
there is a dvd titled “bruce lee : a warriors journey” that talks about the lost footage and original plot of game of death . it shows the all the bruce lee footage and is far more entertaining than the actual movie .
as media outlets cast attention , even negative attention , on the exidy brand and interviewed exidy executives , they raised the profile of the company among operators choosing games for purchase . the infamy of the death race game not only drove sales of the original game , but prodded exidy to release a sequel to the game , super death chase in 1977 8 . in a replay article giving a 10 - year retrospective on exidy ' s early success , kathy brainard ( 1983 ) says that death race received
more media attention than any other game prior to ꞌpac - man . ꞌ
brainard may have been overstating , given the heaps of press received by pong , but her hyperbole makes an important point about death race ' s infamy and what that infamy afforded . in addition to helping establish exidy as an industrial player to watch , death race helped drive exidy ' s sales and helped secure the company ' s financial position .
the best one to watch truly is hard to find . it includes all of lees actual footage from game of death . its called a warriors journey . its on dvd but in honesty it is truly rare and hard to find .

i caught game of death on amc one night . they were just showing the bruce lee footage , none of the filler ( probably only 30 - 40 minutes total ) . it was very entertaining , and my first thought was how similar it was to a video game . fight a boss , win , ascend to the next level .
there are shots used from bruce lee ' s real funeral when billy lo fakes his death .
cut out the bullshit ? ! wow ! they should have cut the bullshit with game of death . i have that boxset . i never watched game of death ii because of the complete disrespect of bruce lee in the first game of death . it was so damn horrible and utterly disgusting to show bruce’s funeral and corpse in the film . from what the medical reports say he had an allergic reaction to marijuana and a headache pill his supposed mistress gave him . it caused his brain to swell and he died . if you got the enter the dragon special edition dvd , bruce’s wife explains why he wore the yellow track suit . it was to be as flexible as possible and to feel comfortable . thanks for doing the review , james . thuroughly enjoyed watching it .
game of death was one of the last snipes films before he landed in jail , where notwithstanding a plea to the u . s . supreme court , he ' ll be for the next three years for tax evasion . the film was released last month on dvd without playing in u . s . theaters .
to explore the lasting impact and implications of exidy ' s death race , i will begin with an overview of death race 2000 , placing it in its historical and cultural context . i then provide a history of exidy ' s death race game and the public response to the game ' s perceived violence . by placing the game in the historical context of changing cinema production codes , i show how it served as a flash point in broader discussions about what constituted appropriate subject matter for popular media . additionally , i suggest that , because death race existed in a games market already replete with depictions of militarized violence , the game triggered outrage not merely because it was violent , but because it depicted violence which clearly questioned the state ' s monopoly on legitimized violence and did not exist in other culturally accepted narratives of violence , such as the cinematic western . i outline how the reaction to death race did little to squelch the game ' s distribution , and instead had the contrary effect of driving sales and vaulting exidy into the national spotlight . further , i argue that the discourse surrounding death race helped forge a strong tie between video gaming and violence in the public imagination , effectively ensuring the development of similarly violent games . this bond has persisted to the present , leading to the development of several similar games , most famously the controversial grand theft auto franchise – the progeny of death race in both theme and reception .

the game of death is a rather damaging account of many people’s over reliance on the belief that television has its limits . though , watching the game unfold , under the bright lights of a cheering audience , the result is really not that unexpected . if you’ve ever watched survivor or fear factor , people will humiliate themselves and others at the drop off a hat . to make the leap to hurting a stranger on what seemed like a legitimate game show isn’t really that much of a stretch , especially considering tv’s recent history of extreme prank shows .

i can’t remember the name of it , but there is a very good documentary about bruce lee and it spends a lot of time on game of death and shows all the footage that he shot prior to his death , free from any of the editing used to make it fit in better with the current movie that exists . everybody should look for it and check it out because watching the fight as bruce intended is just awesome .
wow , to think they would go as far as to put a cardboard cutout of bruce on the actor’s face . they’d might as well put the fake bruce’s face on the real body of bruce , from the original scenes from game of death . at least then it would look half - way decent .

the cocksure snipes of his heyday is sadly missing in game of death , with a script as thin in character development as it is leading quality . with the opening mission being as far back as the characters’s stories stretch , it is hard for the audience to feel any kind of emotion or support towards marcus .
in the book , yaxley places pius thicknesse under the imperius curse , giving the death eaters control over the ministry . in the film , pius thicknesse is ( presumably ) not under the curse , but is a willing death eater or accomplice . however , he seems to be noticeably nervous before voldemort and appears to be threatened and afraid of nagini .

actually there was a special on amc that went at length to explain the real plot of bruce lee’s version of the game of death . it was a feature length documentary special dedicated to i guess the 20th anniversary of enter the dragon . what i can remember is the tower of death was the center piece of the netire movie , bruce lee’s character and five others are moving up this tower fighting against the different arts of kung fu until they reach the top where kareem abdule jabbar was the supreme fighter . i believe the starting plot was lee’s character had a sister that kidnapped or poison and he enters this tournment or game of death to rescue her . i agree with the crappy version that was pushed on us and i would have loved to have seen bruce’s vision of his movie rather than this shit storm we got settled with .
i think that was a great review . from around the age of 10 i sat watching game of death in total confusion . i didn’t realise until i was a little older that the film was completed after his death . so the use of chopped scenes from other movies plus what appeared to be a cardboard cut out of lee baffled me ! so , it was great to watch something that identified the same stuff that made me scratch my head as a kid . also , the stuff about god2 was excellent . great memories and top to watch . well done !
a new york times article published in august of 1977 again summarizes the game , and quotes from driessen . however , here , the tone is different . titled
postscript : controversial
death race
game reaches ' finish ' line ,
the article presents itself as a close to a controversy that had made headlines for the better part of a year . exidy had ceased manufacture of death race earlier in 1977 , and while the remaining machines might be problematic , the game seems less of a clear and present danger . the article does recount a scene from westwood electronic amusement center in los angeles , where the reporter saw a young girl score 6 hits on the machine while under the supervision of her father , who encouraged her by saying
you sure were chasing them .
the article closes by quoting a 13 - year - old fan of the game who responds to the suggestion the game may make him violent :
that ' s stupid , and besides i don ' t even know how to drive
( harvey , 1977 ) . the issue is presented as somehow resolved , no longer a serious threat , even though children are still playing the offending game .
the advertisement featured the marquee picture from the game cabinet complete with muscle - car racing ghouls , and the first line describing the game is punctuated with tiny skull - and - crossbones graphics . the statement that the player will have to
ꞌget involvedꞌ in whatever way he wants
suggests a male audience , but more importantly , it suggests the game will provide an immersive , engrossing environment .
the film program is organized by christopher y . lew , mia locks , and aily nash .
when exidy first began manufacturing death race , the company had not considered it as one of their more important designs . according to paul jacobs , who served as executive vice president for exidy in the 1980s , the game was
originally viewed by the company as nothing more than an intermediary piece with a limited run
( brainard , 1983 ) . the game had been performing well , but had not attracted much attention and did not seem slated to become a hit when an associated press reporter based in seattle wrote a story raising questions about how child - appropriate the game was . the story captured public interest and triggered coverage in a variety of other outlets . in defending the game , exidy rarely addresses the gameꞌs intended audience ; instead , the company seeks to minimize the gamesꞌ violence and stresses that the publicity has been beneficial . jacobs repeated the belief that the publicity had been good for the company ' s image , had driven sales of the game , and had raised the image of the video game industry :
in the book , each potter decoy carries a rucksack and a cage containing a stuffed owl . the decoys do not carry either of these in the film , and harry having his owl would serve as a give - away to the death eaters .
the cultural context into which exidy launched death race as an arcade upright in 1976 was shaped not only by the film that inspired the game , but also by a broader debate about media and amusement regulation and youth access in the united states . coin - op amusements had long been regarded with suspicion in the u . s . , and moral reformers had successfully influenced the regulation of film and comic books among other media . the comics code , in particular , resulted from efforts to curb the spread of materials deemed inappropriate for young readers . while u . s . video game manufacturers may have early thought of their machines as bar amusements intended for adult consumers , the appeal to and popularity among younger players fueled moral guardians anxieties around video games . arcade video games had no ratings system to indicate the intended or appropriate audience for particular machines . even the mpaa film ratings system was quite young at the time , and as roger ebert notes in his review of death race 2000 , that rating system was not entirely effective at keeping younger viewers away from adult materials . in the absence of a clear definition of appropriate audience for death race , moral guardians seem to have assumed that the game’s accessibility to children meant it was intended for them .
when , the british company stainless games released carmageddon , in 1997 , the public response bore striking similarities to the response to death race . carmageddon is a racing game with incorporated vehicular combat in which players gain extra time by damaging other vehicles , collecting bonuses , or striking pedestrians . like death race , the game featured vehicular violence that existed well outside established and accepted narratives of violence . in the united states , the entertainment software ratings board gave the game a rating of
m ,
the board ' s second - most restrictive rating , intended to indicate that the game is suitable only for players who are at least 17 years of age . the game was censored in other countries , including the united kingdom , where censors insisted pedestrian victimsꞌ blood be changed from red to green to give credence to the claim that the victims were not human ( poole , 2000 ) . as in the case of death race , the controversy did not stifle sales and instead drove them . according to lead programmer and company co - founder patrick buckland :
we weren ' t known , the brand wasn ' t known … the game had to stand on its own two feet , and it might not have done that without the violence – though it did get fantastic reviews

by october , 2009 , for unspecified reasons , nbcal ' s position toward the film had allegedly changed .
the reason bruce wore the yellow suit , was because it had nothing to do with any matrial arts uniforms . bruce always said the best style was when there where no specific style . thats why kareem abdul jabbar was the hardest to beat in the orginal game of death , he didn’t have a specific style .
faking the dead : billy lo fakes his own death to mislead the syndicate . he later returns to kill them off one by one .
a dreadfully awful action film which title has nothing to do with the movies setting . a good fight at the end with snipes and daniels but the rest is awful , lots of bullets fired and not a single clip reloaded . snipes dose not attempt to act once in this film . gary daniels gives the only performance worth noticing to bad the film is a waste of his talent
that said , the rest of the film is pure crap . i just skip over the plot and go straight to the action here .
anybody who wants to know anything about what bruce’s original intentions were for game of death , please watch bruce lee : a warrior’s journey . it answers every question you ever had about god as well as includes unseen footage that makes it the most definitive version of god . after you see it , you will never watch the robert clouse version again .

roger ebert , writing for the chicago sun - times , awarded the film zero stars , and did not engage with the film much in his review , choosing instead to meditate on his experience seeing an audience full of children watch the movie with glee ( ebert , 1975 ) . negative critical response to the film was not universal . in the los angeles times , kevin thomas ( 1975 ) said the film
demonstrates that imagination can overcome the tightest budget .
in addition to praising several actorsꞌ performances , he dismissed criticisms of the film ' s violence saying ,
there ' s much slaughter in ꞌdeath race 2000 , ꞌ but it ' s presented so swiftly that the film avoids an unduly hypocritical exploitation of that which it means to condemn .

once identified as a controversy , death race attracted high - profile media attention . even coverage that appeared as news , rather than editorial , helped perpetuate the controversy by legitimizing concerns and raising awareness of the issue . an article in the new york times in december of 1976 indicated the game had attracted the attention not only of local authorities , but of the national safety council . in the article , the author refers to the game ' s stick figure targets as
symbolic pedestrians
and quotes extensively from the manager of the nsc ' s research department , behavioral psychologist gerald driessen . driessen notes that nearly 9 , 000 pedestrians were killed in the past year , presumably in driving accidents , and argues that video game violence is categorically different from television violence :
forgot to say . james mentioned the game kung fu being similar to god . kung fu was infact based on bruce’s original idea for god…hence the similarity .

rita skeeter ' s the life and lies of albus dumbledore serves little purpose in the film apart from helping harry and hermione identify gellert grindelwald .
gremlins can only be struck when they are in the central
legitimate playing field
of the game . in two - player mode , players are competing against one another for the most kills . a player therefore might choose to deliberately crash into the other player to prevent him or her from striking a gremlin ( exidy , n . d . ) . the game ranks players depending on the number of points they scored . these rankings – skeleton chaser for 1 - 3 points , bone cracker for 4 - 10 points , gremlin hunter for 11 - 20 , and expert driver for scores greater than 21 – further the horror - inspired theme of the game ( death race from exidy , 1976 ) .

one peculiar aspect of the controversy worth drawing attention to is the larger context of other coin - op video games available in 1976 . while the lively used market accessible to route operators certainly expanded the number of games available for purchase at any given time , i would like to focus here on the new machines sold through distributors . even a cursory glance at listings of new machines makes clear that death race was not the only violent game on the market . atari ' s offerings in 1976 included five games which could be categorized as violent : the rather self explanatory cops ' n ' robbers ; the chase and crash crash ' n ' score ; the wild west - themed gunfighting game outlaw ; jetfighter , which featured simulated jet dogfighting ; and tank 8 , an 8 - player tank warfare game . chicago coin , of course , had their chase and crash , demolition derby , available . electra ' s offerings included avenger , a scrolling shooter game in which the player piloted a fighter plane . digital offered a jet fighting game with the rather self - explanatory name air combat . meadows was manufacturing bombs away , in which players piloted bomber planes and sunk ships , and fun games had a seek - and - destroy aircraft game named biplane .

concurrently , severus snape arrives at malfoy manor , where lord voldemort is holding a meeting with his death eaters . snape informs voldemort of the date and time of harry potter ' s removal from 4 privet drive .
the compromised film’s pleasures largely come from its totally game cast . true blood breakout ryan kwanten , character actor steve zahn , and game of thrones mini stud peter dinklage plays three friends who love to act out their dungeons & dragons obsessions via larping ( or live action role - play ) , but who unwittingly summon demons and monsters while doing so . specifically through dinklage , knights of badassdom has moments where it’s like a live - action mad magazine riff on game of thrones ' current season ' s

filmed over two days with a budget of $ 200 ( most of which went to beer and camp blood t - shirts ) and with a running time of just 30 minutes , cbtm falls somewhere between a parody of and a tribute to the classic slasher films of the 1980s . the plot is simple and generic : six stereotypical camp counselors of the unfortunately named camp blood are dropped off and are killed one by one . the obvious difference between cbtm and other slasher flicks is that this one contains song and dance numbers .

one of the good things about having a myspace page is the indie filmmakers who get in touch to promote their movies . one of the bad things about myspace is that any goober with a video camera can use it to promote their latest offering . i have to admit , when the makers of camp blood : the musical got in touch i was somewhat sceptical that their particular project would be up to much . i mean , an ' 80s slasher musical , it simply couldn’t be any good , could it ?

eventually , the seven reach athens , and are led to the acropolis by kekrops , the ancient half - snake king of athens , who promptly turns on them , betraying them to the giants , and they find themselves battling for their lives . while in combat , annabeth gets a cut on her leg and her blood spills . percy ' s nose is bloodied by being batted by the hand of a giant and eventually a drop of his blood rolls down his chin in the midst of battle and spills onto the ground as well , thereby waking gaea , who appears at camp half - blood , intending to destroy it .

the camp is in montauk , at the end of long island . percy , his mother sally jackson , and grover drive from their cabin at the beach in montauk . it does not take them very long to get to camp . besides , the two jacksons frequently go on vacation to montauk , where sally and poseidon met . however , the camp is located on the north shore of long island , referenced many times in the books , while montauk is located on the south shore . this makes the camp ' s true location uncertain . percy also says that the part of long island beach that the camp is invisible to mortals , except the ones who can see through the mist . monsters and mortals can not enter , unless permitted from the inside . the address , 3 . 141 , is believed to have originated from the number pi , which is named after the greek letter .
lestat ,
the maiden broadway production of warner brothers theater ventures , is the third vampire musical to open in the last few years , and it seems unlikely to break the solemn curse that has plagued the genre . directed by robert jess roth from a book by linda woolverton , the show admittedly has higher aspirations and ( marginally ) higher production values than the kitschy
dance of the vampires
( 2002 ) and the leaden
dracula : the musical
( 2004 ) , both major - league flops .
but as the curtain falls on beyond the fence , it’s clear that the uk’s musical theatre talents can sleep peacefully at night with little to fear from android lloyd webber and his crowd of cybernetic pretenders . but watch this space .
the camp has the tradition that the cabin member who has been there the longest becomes counselor . the only ones who can challenge this are cabin members who are older , or have completed the most quests and can challenge the current counselor .
percy and the surviving quest members eventually return to the camp , where percy is left with the unfortunate task of telling nico that his sister had passed away while saving the others during the quest . however , skeleton warriors manage to sneak inside the borders of the camp and attack the two . nico then opens up the earth , which swallows the warriors into the underworld , revealing himself and bianca to be children of hades and then runs away from the camp shouting that he hates percy for lying to him and letting his sister die despite her dying a heroic death and saving the other members of the quest .
this ambition belongs to the punningly named android lloyd webber – the creation of nick collins , who researches computerised composition at durham university , uk . it is one of the key creative partners on beyond the fence , billed as the world’s first computer - composed musical .
a promising new contender has arrived in a crowded pharmaceutical field . joining the ranks of ambien , lunesta , sonata and other prescription lullaby drugs is
lestat ,
the musical sleeping pill that opened last night at the palace theater .
after percy blows up mount saint helens while running an errand for hephaestus , whose forge was captured by telekhines , annabeth eventually returns to camp to break the bad news to everyone , and the camp holds a funeral for percy , who coincidentally arrives during the ceremony . percy and annabeth return to the labyrinth with the aid of rachel elizabeth dare , while camp half - blood prepares for the arrival of the titan army . percy and annabeth return to camp after quintus , showing himself to actually be daedalus refuses to help for a little while after switching sides from the titans and they prepare for battle along with a reconciled nico , giving the news to the camp of the resurrection of kronos in luke ' s body with ethan nakamura ' s allegiance and that pan has died , passing on his spirit to all present at his deathbed and erging them to unite as one and protect the world . monsters begin to pour out of the entrance , and with the arrival of kampê on the battlefield , the demigod forces begin to lose the battle . the tide turns again , however , when briares and daedalus return with mrs . o ' leary and crush kampê with a pile of rocks , while grover scares the army back into the labyrinth . daedalus then sacrifices his life to destroy the entrance to the labyrinth at camp half - blood and the labyrinth itself , entrusting mrs . o ' leary to percy and a laptop with details of all his inventions to annabeth .
given the fact that camp blood was made for pocket change , the makers have really produced something new , refreshing and genuinely amusing . imagine a mel brooks remake of friday the 13th and you’d be pretty close to this result . a free dvd of the movie was available through the myspace page , but they had to withdraw it because of the sheer number of requests they were getting . shame , because there’s a lot of horror fans out there who’d get a kick out of it . currently the team is working on a feature length script . if they can pack as much freshness and originality into that , as they have into camp blood , they ' re onto a winner .

the songs are absolutely great , and my particular favourite was “when the tops come off” , the lyrics of which parody the ubiquitous t & a scenes we know and love . my admiration for this musical number is inspired by the sharp lyrics , and not the fact it’s performed by two topless girls . oh no .

here’s a montage of musical moments from the jazz - handiest horror movie ever made , the ill - considered lauren bacall vehicle the fan . sure , “hearts , not diamonds” is the best song of the bunch ( belched out by bacall with cigarette in hand , of course ) but nothing beats the glittery zoot - suited hoofing of “a remarkable woman” .

mr . cohen said that the creators would give a free hand to directors and producers on most artistic choices , though he added that “keeping out the absurd camp elements is important because we never want ‘the rocky horror picture show’ version of ‘carrie . ’ ” and he rejected the idea that “carrie” would have worked better as camp , or at least with winks , saying its creators had a different goal .
jason is the first protagonist introduced in the lost hero , on a school bus with his friend leo and girlfriend piper — except he doesn ' t remember either of them , or anything , really . some mishaps later , in which jason reveals himself to be a good fighter despite not remembering anything , gleeson hedge , annabeth , and butch successfully deliver the three of them to camp half - blood , with the revelation that the three of them are demigods .
such a conclusion feels like yet another cruelty hurled at “carrie , ” the musical’s three creators said in a telephone interview . they put the onus of the abbreviated off broadway run on critics , contending that many of them chose not to assess the revival on its merits but to analyze it through the prism of the broadway flop . most major reviews of “carrie” did compare the two productions , given the infamy of the original and the significant changes to the script and score for the revival .
following percy ' s disappearance prior to the second series , annabeth struggles to balance searching for him , being head counselor of the athena cabin , holding the rest of camp half - blood together , and undertaking the task presented to her in the previous series of redesigning olympus . as such , she ' s mostly out of the picture for the first two books beyond briefly mentoring our new protagonists , but returns in the third , with a divine quest from her mother on her hands — to find the athena parthenos and return it to the gods , at whatever cost .
gut feeling : has pretty good instincts thanks to being more attuned to people ' s emotions . this gets her out of the temple of fear in the blood of olympus , as it was all about following instincts and trusting your emotions .
big sister instinct : develops this kind of relationship with nico in blood of olympus during their quest . she even has to remind herself at one point that he isn ' t her little brother .
that thing is not my child : octavian is his ( roman ) descendant , a fact that apollo openly laments in blood of olympus . he wishes he could have frank as a son instead .
the ace : jason is the son of jupiter / zeus , the king of the greco - roman pantheon . he was treated as the star of the legion , the most powerful demigod of the 12th legion . he became the praetor , led the romans to victory in the titan war and is considered to be very handsome . hazel refers to him as camp jupiter ' s
golden boy .
for instance , campers do not always co - exist in peace and harmony . the camp is not run with superior efficiency . prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity . sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called camp half - blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown . chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience . and , of course , there are divine words of wisdom from the god apollo himself , because . . . well , because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down , thank you very much .
years ago when annabeth , thalia , and luke were attempting to make it across the border to camp half - blood ( while being pursued by monsters ) thalia made her last stand which allowed annabeth and luke to cross over . as thalia lay dying , her father zeus transformed her into a pine tree which acted as a border between the camp and monsters . in events prior to the sea of monsters , luke poisoned the tree with venom from the elder python weakening the barriers . in order to heal the tree a quest was called for to recover the golden fleece . the fleece worked so well that it healed thalia herself bringing her back into a demigod form . the tree now serves no actual purpose except as a monument to thalia it is the fleece that keeps the barrier working .
damien shot to fame after la la land’s critical success in 2016 . the film , which incorporates elements of comedy , drama , romance and musical numbers , stars ryan gosling and emma stone as aspiring creatives who fall in love while pursuing their dreams in los angeles .
figure it out yourself : when searching for camp jupiter , lupa can ' t tell him where he ' s going — he has to find and get there himself .
percy is one of two titular
lost heroes
for the first book of the second series , but he ' s back in the second , amnesiac and running from monsters . he is brought by hera / juno to the roman camp , camp jupiter , and realizes that his destiny is far beyond being the half - blood mentioned in the last great prophecy . having gone through five books ' worth of character development and combat experience on his own , percy is far more mature and dangerous in the second series . he easily befriends the rest of the seven , despite a few clashes with fellow ace jason . however , his fatal flaw from the previous series — personal loyalty — is still in play , with mars mentioning that it would greatly hinder the seven ' s quest to save the world .
it ' s indirectly fatal . when she chose to join the hunters and leave nico at camp half - blood , zoe got the idea that she would be a good choice to groom as the next leader of the hunters , and drags her along on the quest where she dies . what ends up killing her is guilt : she feels bad for resenting nico , so she steals a souvenir for him from hephaestus ' junkyard , which activates the automaton defending it . she sacrifices herself to shut it off
jason is claimed by zeus , and leads a quest to rescue the goddess hera . along the way it ' s revealed that he ' s the younger brother to thalia grace , now leader of the hunters of artemis , and is actually the son of jupiter , zeus ' s roman aspect ( which explains the latin and the imperial gold weapon ) . and most importantly , he learns that he ' s hera ' s roman representative to the greek camp — like percy is the greek representative to the roman camp , of which jason was former praetor of .
with gaea finished , the combined greek and roman forces dispatch and scatter the monsters , incurring heavy casualties . nico tells percy his secret and earns himself percy ' s confusion and a high - five from annabeth . jason decides to stay at camp half - blood with piper but with frequent trips to camp jupiter . percy and annabeth decide to finish their senior year of high school in new york city and go to college in new rome . at the end it is also revealed that leo died in the explosion , but was brought back to life using the physician ' s cure . he lands in ogygia with festus , picks up calypso , and flies off into the unknown .
