    The tar pits are a parody of the La Brea Tar Pits right smack dab in the middle of L.A. - in the film there are shown large fiberglass dinosaurs. In reality there are life-size mammoths, mastodons, saber-tooth cats, giant ground sloths, dire wolves and hundreds of other extinct species that dies in the tarpits. Animals would come to drink the rainwater on top of the tar and get trapped. Herbivores would struggle and carnivores would attack and go down with the prey. Hundreds of thousands of extinct animal bones have been retrieved from the Pits and a museum (including the L.A. County Art Museum) of paleontology has been built around the Pits. There is an excellent film starring the Tarpits called Miracle Mile, an excellent sci-fi-adventure. The Miracle Mile is the nickname for that section of Wilshire Boulevard that contains the Tarpits and museums.

    This is top tier Arnold. Not only are they making fun of some of the genre clichés that made his career, but also not taking himself too seriously. Back then the "rivalry" between him and Sly was something they often had in their respective movies. Now, taking copyright laws and such too serious makes these things almost impossible.
    Another fun Arnold action movie is True Lies (1994). It's over the top closer to a James Bond movie without being one. Him and Jamie Lee Curtis are great together, with a great cast otherwise too. So good you'll never mind that it's just outrageously unbelievable at times.

      She's also the widow of Laurence Olivier, whose film adaptation of Hamlet is the one they're watching in class. She's a highly respected actress in her own right, mind you - though the last twenty years of her film career is not a reliable demonstration of that. I expect it paid the bills.

      New nightmare is a bit dated for someone her age, plus it plays better if you've seen the other nightmare films
      Scream however doesn't really have any fantasy elements and ancient special effects so it completely holds up

    One reason this movie is often overlooked stems from its release one week after Jurassic Park. It got overshadowed by the juggernaut dino movie. It didn't do well at the box office cuz it didn't land at the right time. It struggled to find an audience and got a bad rap because of it. I do think there's some pacing issues towards the beginning. But, it's really a great, fun movie, and it's well loved by those who found it.

    The Last Starfighter (1985) a great movie. Mirror Mask (2005) a Jim Henson film, a spiritual sequel to Labyrinth (1986). Or for something more magical, Night Watch (2004) a foreign film with English dubbing by the cast, explores a Russian fairytale with vampires 🧛‍♀️

    You missed a couple early cameo's because your young. Anthony Quinn played Vivaldi, he was pretty famous years ago and won 2 Academy Awards. Also Art Carney who was a side kick to Jackie Gleason played Frank. Of course you would need to know who Jackie Gleason was and I kind of doubt that you do. He had a Popular TV show in 1955 and 56. But those two actors were pretty famous you just probably have never seen them in anything.
