So this the the B version of Congo then. It is, minus the diamonds. Well that would cost money. So what and if, is there a C version of this movie. |

"The C movie is the grade of motion picture at the low end of the B movie, or—in some taxonomies—simply below it. In the 1980s, with the growth of cable television, the C grade began to be applied with increasing frequency to low-quality genre films used as filler programming for that market."

This one sneaks into this thread under the very loose definition of "Obscure".
My first nomination is 7 Seven Samurai
What passes as "heroes" in Seven Samurai are "Ronin", Samurai who have lost honor by the death of their Daimyo.
Kambei (Takashi Shimura),leads his fellow Ronin to defend a helpless farming village from bandits. The Ronin train and then lead the village militia in a battle to the death with the "Sanzoku".
IMO, the acting is way, way, way over the top and it looses a lot when translated into English but it's a great plot of bloody redemption. It works really well in westerns like "The Magnificent Seven","A Fistful of Dollars","Blindman","Unforgiven", "Red Sun","Requiem for a Gringo","The 5-Man Army"(with my man Bud Spencer AKA Carlo Pedersoli),"Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die!", "Django".
OK so I like westerns and Ronin movies.

Detonator (2003) Detonator (2003) Trailer (REDONE)I first saw this film in July 2004 and I actually quite enjoyed it. For a CineTel film, it did feel like a big Hollywood production. This film is notably obscure because there is only one trailer uploaded in 2018 on YouTube. It does not help that two other films share the same name. I rewatched this film again in October 2013 on a free-streaming website when I was a college student. I realized the film then uses stock footage from End of Days, The Glimmer Man, and Sudden Death. Because of this, it has been criticized for relying too much on stock footage. As a kid though in 2003, I enjoyed it. As a college student in 2013, I enjoyed it as a way to unwind from studies. In addition, this is one of the first post-9/11 terrorism-related movie that showed on TV. For more information on the following: Attachments:

Day of the Dead (2008) Day of the dead full movies sub indoDay of the Dead trailer 2008  A remake of the 1985 George Romero classic but employing fast and parkour-capable zombies just like Zack Synder's Dawn of the Dead in 2004. Unlike the latter, this one is a direct-to-DVD film shot on location in Sofia, Bulgaria. Some have considered this as the spiritual successor to the Dawn remake because Ving Rhames stars in this film as Captain Rhodes. Unfortunately, he dies early in the film. It employs several B-movie horror tropes such as nudity, guns blazing, and the classic jump scare. Notably, Hollywood actors such as Nick Cannon, Mena Suvari, Michael Welch (who later stars in Twilight later that year), and AnnaLynne McCord star in the film. An enjoyable B-movie to watch on a Saturday night especially if you want to laugh on the cheesy and bad special effects. External Links:

Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2018)
DAY OF THE DEAD: BLOODLINE Official Trailer (2018) Zombie Film HD
The third remake of Day of the Dead (the first being Day of the Dead II: Contagion, an unofficial prequel, and the 2008 remake). Saw it on Netflix. It wasted my time. This one makes the 2008 remake look better in comparison.

I don't recommend you watch this on Netflix. It's a waste of time. |

In my country, this aired on Cinemax under the title Hydra. I saw this around November 2009 with my parents. We weren't particularly impressed. As usual, we just kept on laughing at the bad acting and special effects.

Very interesting thanks. Especially that the blatant plagiarism seems to be upsetting so many people in China itself.
