ITT: Charmingly dated special effects

I love the matte paintings in Blade Runner. They're absolutely gorgeous.

Show me a better scene where a guys head shapeshifts off his body and grows spiderlegs while the body eats a guys arms
John Torres

Logan Martin
Can you post some examples?
Adrian Rodriguez
It looks a little plasticy and the animatronics certainly aren't smoothed, but it a much better effect than cgi composited onto a background plate. It's a real world object the actors can react to. It tooks hours, weeks, days and months of planning, production, and execution to accomplish .
Kevin Wilson
I forget the name of the movie but an Asian guy gets mad and holds his breath until he explodes
Chase Howard
>I forget the name of the movie
Seriously?
Noah Lee
>not remembering the name of Big Trouble in Little China
Also directed by based Carpenter, by the way.
Anthony Young
He was merely pretending to be retarded
Gavin Fisher
Also soundtrack performed by based Carpenter's band, by the way.

Why didn't this poster just say it took months to accomplish, encompassing all the other units of time measurement?

Cameron Bailey
I agree it holds up, I guess I was going with the "charming" angle.
Ethan Brooks
The one where the bearded guy is fighting a bunch of spoopy skeletons with swords
Jose Young
You can tell they used a minature composited into the background when it crashes out of the room and here they have a life-size model. Still has a lot of charm.
Josiah Turner
Only good transformation the rest are nothing but teeth & tentacles.
Ryan Adams

Levi Sanchez

Cheap but get the job done.
Levi Fisher
Jonathan Long
Pretty cool
Benjamin Stewart
You can see the matte backgrounds. I wish they'd make a comeback, I'm not a fan of the digital backgrounds, you can just tell it's not real.
Matthew White
The original The Thing is fucking horrifying in how bad the special effects are.
Also the one with the ridiculously bad skeletons that rise from the earth. Is it Simbad?
Kevin Turner
Is there good money in special effects? I'm pretty good with Photoshop and After Effects
Jayden Gomez
The makeup/costume on the alien? I can't remember what it looks like.
Jack Scott
It's a fucking carrot.

Jonathan Taylor
at least it was tangible. nothing worse than recognizing cgi.
Blake King
The only thing less dated than the thing is you, faggot.
Jack Turner
>if you don't think that was the raddest shit get the fuck out of my face
Oliver Walker
You're trying too hard.
Eli Hughes
The possibilities of CGI are endless. The only problem is that to make it realistic, you need a 100% precise physically based rendering. Computers just aren't there yet. There is a push in industrial applications to switch from real prototyping to VR. Problem is, VR just isn't that realistic: the object looks detached from reality because it doesn't interact in real time. So yeah... CGI is best employed moderately and only when strictly necessary. Real things just look more real. We still can't simulate all the little details for cheaper than just making the damn thing, in most cases. Hopefully hollywood will realize that soon enough.

Fuck them. TTFAW is a good movie.
James Harris
man, that's not bad at all for that time
