Toshiro Takashi - Daichee Bell

Man, apparently D.C. Cab's soundtrack is one sought after son of a bitch. It has been downloaded by people without RS accounts 462 times in under 3 days. Just as an example of how many downloads that is in such a short time - Fletch, much more popular and well known film, soundtrack posted November 6th, 2006, 400 downloads.

Moving on. I stumbled upon a rather rare treat the other day. This is the full version of Daichee Bell, which is played during Tochi's Do A Lap, Chug A Beer Tricycle race scene in Revenge of the Nerds (Spanish title - Guerra de Pazguato de Correría de Panty). Like some progressive metal song it takes over 2 minutes for the vocals to kick in, and then the song only lasts for about another 28 seconds after that. But it's still a very entertaining 3 minutes and 11 seconds of music.

While I'm here, a little shameless plug. I've just submitted a shirt design over at 6DollarShirts, so if anyone here likes my design, or future designs (waiting to see how bad the feedback is on this one first before I submit my other designs)give it vote. Here's a look - sorry to any Springsteen fans offended by the message, I'm just having fun here:

It's a cool site, by the way. Everything really is $6, and there are some really cool shirt designs available. In fact, I'm wearing the Callahan Auto Parts shirt at this exact moment.

Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise Mini Soundtrack

For some reason there doesn't appear to be an actual soundtrack for this one. So I've made a little 5 track "mini" Revenge of the Nerds II soundtrack because I don't really have a whole lot going on today. I had ripped the Nerds "No On Fifteen" rap and the epic sounding Star Wars-style text scroll part so I figured I'd throw a few other tracks from the movie here as well. It only consists of 5 tracks, because while finding Devo and .38 Special songs couldn't be easier, finding songs from Larry Lee or Darryl Duncan, not so easy. However, these tracks are the only memorable songs featured in the movie anyway, so here they are.

While not as funny, or as good as the first Nerds, I still really enjoy this first sequel. I actually still have a copy of this movie from Errol's, which later became Blockbuster. Or was later bought out by Blockbuster, I'm not 100% sure really. The tape is 20 years old, and has some kind of white residue on the inside of the tape, which makes me afraid to even put it in a VCR, but Errol's had those really cool big-ass red boxes so I just can't get rid of it.

I was curious about something while rewatching the movie yesterday. I haven't watched Part III or Part IV from the box set yet, and I barely remember watching them years ago, but I noticed Julia Montgomery shows up as Betty Scolnick in III and IV. Yet, apart from a picture of her in Louis' suitcase she doesn't show up in Part II, and Lewis ends up awful friendly-like with Courtney Thorne-Smith's character Sunny. So did Lewis cheat on Betty with Sunny in Part II? Was she a freebie for him while he was away? Is this ever explained? Guess I'll be watching to find out.

Revenge of the Nerds : Panty Raid!

Bored? Up for a panty raid but not ready to face any jail time? Why not head on over to this site and play Revenge of the Nerds: Panty Raid!? Sure it's pointless and kinda dumb, but where else can you be Louis while Booger, Poindexter and the rest of the gang drop coed panties from the sorority house windows for you to catch? See if you can beat my score of 70,350. You should be able to, it's really easy. Remember you get more points for thongs, and watch of for those granny panties, those kill you.

Those Nerds Are a Threat to Our Way of Life!

Okay, I know it looks like the site is turning into some kind of Revenge of the Nerds fansite. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Neal, a Morgue Attendant (bringing back my attempt at giving my readers some kind of catchy nickname there) sent a link over to a damn near complete soundtrack he's put together for Revenge of the Nerds. There is an official soundtrack, but Neal's includes several tracks that were excluded from that for various rights issues. It has everything except the Japanese version of "Bicycle Built For Two" that plays during the Beerchugging Tricycle Race. Now, if anyone actually has that track and can share it they will be a god among men, or women, don't wanna leave anyone out. The link. It's actually a very cool soundtrack, I love the Ya Ya tracks, but I can't find any other music by them, did they have any albums or anything?

ROTN features my favorite panty raid scene, hands down. It was funny, well staged, they had the perfect music and and it worked because you really felt bad for the Nerds at this point. You wanted them to snatch some coed undergarments for revenge and then film the girls doing naked things. Okay, maybe they took it too far with that whole filming naked women thing. But still it's a movie, so it's okay, creepy perversion is acceptable in movie form. However, I do not recommend doing so yourself, I'd imagine it's quite illegal and you will probably be quite arrested. Then your parents would have to come and bail you out, and while they'd still love you, they'd never quite be able to look you in the eye again without feeling ashamed. So in short, don't be a pervert.

Anyway, back on to the Nerds, did it bother anyone else that Betty, the hottest of the hot popular girls was the first to run to join Lewis and Gilbert after the "people who've ever felt picked stepped on, left out, picked on, put down" speech? So what, she has sex with a nerd 2 hours earlier and now she's an unpopular nerd that people pick on? Nerdism by association I guess. I think they should've made a spinoff television series with Booger, Poindexter and Wormser as time traveling detectives. It would've been like Columbo meets Back to the Future, only, you know, with Nerds.

Since I'm linking to that site above, I might as well just throw the link I have for the regular soundtrack in MP3 format up while I'm here. If anyone opposes to that, let me know. But if you download this one still be sure to visit Neal's site to grab those tracks that aren't on the soundtrack.

Ogre, you asshole.

The "We've Got Bush" Edition

I just felt like sharing a little DVD news. On March 6th a special edition of one of my favorite comedies Revenge of the Nerds finally makes an appearance. According to DavisDVD it will include a commentary track with actors Jeff Kanew, Robert Caradine, Timothy Busfield & Curtis Armstrong, six deleted scenes, "I'm a Nerd and I'm Pretty Proud of It" featurette, the rarely-seen "Revenge of the Nerds" TV Pilot and the original theatrical trailer. Finally, Booger and Poindexter on the same commentary track, man it took them long enough. They are also releasing the 3 sequels on the same day in a box set. Now, does anyone know what this "TV Pilot" is about? I'd never heard anything about this ever, anyone from the movie in it?

This "news" is a couple weeks old, but the awesome DVD cover was just released today and I had to share it with someone because it's now one of my favorite DVD covers ever. Very simple, I could've designed it myself probably, but it looks great. I usually hate these weirdly titled special editions, like the Half Baked "Fully Baked" Edition, but I gotta say this "We've Got Bush" Edition is just brilliant. I can't believe they're actually using that line on the cover. I'm sure someone will bitch and get it changed. Probably the same women of the overprotective maternal variety who used to come in my video store and bitch at me about the huge boobs on the Maxim magazines we carried. They would yell at me about it, and even go as far as to turn the magazines around so the back was facing out, yet they never said a thing about the Fitness magazines with equally attractive and scantily clad women on the covers. Always bothered me, they would've just died if they'd seen an issue of the UK version of Maxim. They show whole nipples in those. Oh no, nipples!

International Curtis Armstrong Day

I was just reading about Revenge of the Nerds and it turns out today is Curtis Armstrong's birthday. Therefore I declare November 27th (what little bit that's left of it, at least) International Curtis Armstrong day. Pointless post? Perhaps, but I really think the man deserves a medal or something. He will live on forever in the annals of movie history by making three great 80's comedies even greater with his overall hilariousness. That's not a word, I know, but dammit all I can't think of a better way to put it. Miles in Risky Business, Dudly 'Booger' Dawson in Revenge of the Nerds and Charles De Mar in Better Off Dead. Never a dull moment when he's onscreen. We need to get this man more work. Now! Granted he was in an Academy Award winning film a couple of years ago, but still, I want more Curtis. Who's with me?

I'll leave you with this. I've assembled some classic Curtis Armstrongisms into a poem. But not really at all. Enjoy:

Step aside mama, I wanna see some of that muff.
Why? Does she have a penis?
What the fuck are 'robster craws'?
I say we blow their fucking houses up.
My daddy used to spank my bare bottom. Now he's gone.
Will you take his place?
Joel, you wanna know something? Every now and then say, "What the fuck." "What the fuck" gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.
I don't believe this! I've got a trig midterm tomorrow, and I'm being chased by Guido the killer pimp.
I hope not. A virgin's a terrible thing to waste.
Greendale is a bodaciously small town, Lane. A fly speck on the map - a rest stop on the way to the ski slope. I can't even get real drugs here!
Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.
We've got bush!
