"Demolition High" (1996) Love this movie ! should have made at least $50 million
Chopping Mall ... when the lady burns up I always get sad and turn it off, because of the emotion of her boyfriend. He really sells it.

Just watched this tonight and loved it. Great to see The Galleria that we all love from "Fast Times" and lots of familiar faces from other 80's movies...Loved the references to "My Chauffeur" and the posters of other 80's movies like "Slumber Party Massacre" and "The Lost Empire" in the background. The exploding head is too awesome for words!

I mentioned John Terlesky in the "Allnighter" thread. For anyone that hasn't taken a chance on "Chopping Mall" ..
don't you think it is about time for some after hours fun at The Sherman Oaks Galleria??

How do you guys watch these horror movies? Am I the only one who gets scared?

Secret Admirer.. I seldom get truly scared while watching horror movies. They will sometimes make me jump or the gore might make me cringe a little, but watching a good horror flick is like riding a rollercoaster at an amusement park in my opinion.
And movies like "Chopping Mall" are more fun than scary really. Then you have real horror fans like There'll be no morning for us and pettyfan that probably press repeat on the DVD player when stuff like an "exploding head" occurs. Ha

I've never really been properly scared by them since I was a kid. But many of the older horrors, especially 60's and 70's have such great atmosphere and can give me a lovely creepy feeling still Posts: 4056 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

Kelli.. here's a "Chopping Mall" thread from a few years ago.
Do you remember this scene in "Chopping Mall":
Where Suzie says to Alison..."Hey, would I set you up with a slimedog or something? No way babe!".....and they both say..."It is babe, isn't it."
Was that really a "My Chauffeur" reference?
Thread is up to two pages of comments, so you have to hit page 1 to read it all.

I watched this for the first time.....it was funny and cool being that I loved all the actors and the cheesy effects and great music.....I liked it but I don't see loving it so much i'd need to own it. Kelly and Tony steal the movie of course.....! Glad I saw it though......did make me reminisce about the old mall I used to go to in the 80's Posts: 2912 | Registered: Jun 2003 | Site Updates: 26

Muffy.. I totally understand your thoughts on "Chopping Mall" as a decent movie, but not one that you would buy to watch again.. I think Simoneer mentioned that it never reached the 'so bad it was good' level and just saw it as bad. While others like Tiffany and Cindy Mancini see it as awesome 80's horror fun.
When I watch "Chopping Mall" .. I can actually see all of those reviews as possibilities. This movie is best watch at 3am with a cold frosty brew in your hand.
Rootbeer and Exploding Heads make for a wicked late night combination.

I think for me this movie signifies classic 80's horror. I love the tongue in cheek humor mixed with over the top killing scenes. If you go into this movie expecting a serious horror flick with a detailed plot then you will probably be disappointed but thats not really how I see 80's horror.

Hey everyone! Let's give "Chopping Mall" some appreciation.
I'm trying to hold out until October to watch it again, but I just don't know. Definitely, on our list. Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22
