I have do two critiques on non-realisitc costumes in movies. I already did one on The Fifth Element. Any ideas for the second one?
Non-Realistic Movie
- Thread starter BigMike
- Start date
I thought the orange haired chick's costume when she came out of the glass tube regeneration machine was pretty realistic :devil:
anything from any MSTK3000 movie
Almost any film set in early-medieval Europe. The big clunky suits of armor that Hollywood loves are a later period development in armoring.BigMike said:
Or maybe the more recent incarnations of the 3 Musketeers where it appears costume research was conducted at a rennaisance festival.
Anything from the movie Naughty Nymphs Part 16: The Lesbian Awakening. I mean, who has a pillow fight in 6" heels? 
Anything from the Mad Max Series.
Judge Dredd....... hahaBigMike said:

Yeah, just about any hollywood "medieval" movie will work. I am a bit of a medieval history nazi though. Oh here's a good one for you... BRAVEHEART. The scots did not start wearing kilts until like the 1600 - 1700's. And nobility wouldn't have worn them... too low class. The costumes for braveheart are very wrong. The armors pretty close though.
Dang, I am such a geek.
Wow. Yeah. Why don't you go out and beat on some other geek with a stick and shield?Ciaran said:

Pshaw! Those guys are weak! Sheesh! Try taking the padding off your sword! (whoever heard of a padded sword!?)SkaredShtles said:
I already beat up on other geeks. But we have NOTHING to do with those people who play as wizards and ogres and all that. (We're history geeks, not fantasy/sci-fi geeks) Seeing as how those things don't actually exist anyhow. Besides, we do full speed, full contact, (almost) no-holds barred, combat. (Stick fighting) I have some extra armor if you want to go a few rounds. Heh heh.
Hey he wanted a movie with incorrect costumes. I gave him one.
Sponge Bob movie, you can totaly tell their clothes were drawn on.
I actually teach my kids *NOT* to hit each other with sticks.Ciaran said:<snip>(Stick fighting) I have some extra armor if you want to go a few rounds. Heh heh.

But how do you know it's unrealistic, it's in the future. I for one have already sewn pieces of football shoulder pads to my leather jacket and started modding my car with two 55 gallon drums for gas tanks.Yossarian said:
Where's the fun in that?SkaredShtles said:I actually teach my kids *NOT* to hit each other with sticks.

It's got nothing to do with fun for them. It has everything to do with me not taking a screaming kid to the emergency room.BikeGeek said:Where's the fun in that?

You mean, I cant just borrow it from your "personal" collection?
I'm talking non realistic like non human, not non realistic like wrong time period.
From the 5th element I used the evil soldiers, and the blue opera singer, that kinda stuff.

Hehehe...I don't own it...yet.
There's a lot of interesting bad guys in it costume wise. Some appeared to be hollow leather outfits as seen to the left in the poster.
I do own the 5th Element, very cool movie. Much of the artistic concept came from the two french comic artists who created Heavy Metal magazine.
How about the Abyss? Alien creatures made of light and water?
