Exterminator (not really)'s definitions
An obscure Japanese sci-fi movie that gained a cult following. Directed by Masato Harada, it follows a group of scavengers in a cyberpunk future going to a remote island to steal valuable computer tech, only to discover the island is still being run by a genocidal supercomputer known as Kyron-5. The movie's title refers to a mecha that the heroes use to fight their way off the island.
The movie was a big project jointly produced by Toho, Nippon Sunrise, Kadokawa, Bandai, and Imagica. It remains one of the most ambitious live-action Japanese films to date, with a budget equivalent to $14.4 million. In addition to Japanese actors, a few roles were taken by American actors, such as Brenda Bakke, James "Brewster" Thompson, Randy Reyes, and Michael Yancy. The original Japanese version used both Japanese and English spoken dialogue, due in part to the international cast.
The movie's choppy editing and confusing plot almost completely derailed it despite its amazing special effects and production design. It bombed both domestically and internationally, and Masato Harada was so embarrassed that he instead credited the infamous Hollywood pseudonym "Alan Smithee" in international releases.
All in all, it is a flawed movie, but has several redeeming qualities that make it entertaining, and though it is a rare find on home video formats, I recommend trying it out if you have the means.

Brooklyn: We could sell it for more than the chips.
Bebe: Sell what?
Brooklyn: Gunhed.

Barabbas: Gunhed parts get a good price, if it's still here.

Get the Gunhedmug. ...she hides in a cave west of the Laskyar Ruins, which jut from the mist-shrouded lake of Liurnia. She knows the location of the medallion's counterpart, I'm sure.
Find the albinauric woman to get a cool summon. Then summon her for the Sir Gideon Ofnir, The All-knowing boss fight to make his defeat more ironic.

Get the Find the albinauric womanmug. A type of droid in Star Wars designed to kill important people. Despite being among the most badass droids featured in the franchise, they weren't done justice until the release of The Mandalorian.

Get the Assassin Droidmug. A phrase used by distressed Huntsmen, referring to the bloodborne plague that broke out in Yharnam. Said plague gradually turns humans into deadly beasts, and many Huntsmen that use the phrase have already begun to feel the effects.

Get the This is a damn cursemug. You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further.
The 1999 Toyota Corolla.
Let's talk about features.
Bluetooth: nope
Sunroof: nope
Fancy wheels: nope
Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn.
Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End.
You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up.
This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children.
This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would.
When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla. It's fine."
Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla.

Get the 1999 Toyota Corollamug. Dr. Otto Octavius. A nuclear scientist and skilled inventor, he created a set of four robotic tentacles that were controlled with a neural interface. After a lab accident welded them to his body, he suffered brain damage and became a mad megalomaniac- and arguably the biggest headache for Spider-Man.

Get the Doctor Octopusmug. The kind of scream that only gigachads can give out, but rarely do due to the extreme circumstances required for it to happen. It is the manly scream to destroy ALL manly screams. The requirements for the scream to be provoked are:
-The one screaming must be a badass gigachad
-Having a gritty and tragic origin story as to how said gigachad became a gigachad
-Having the gigachad come to care deeply for a large group of people, but especially for a strong independent woman among them.
-The gigachad bearing witness to the leader of said group betraying everyone else in it to the point that everything and everyone the gigachad cared about is either killed, destroyed, or completely mentally broken.
-The gigachad, despite his truly badass abilities, being nonetheless helpless to save anyone he cared about.
The only known person to ever be recorded giving this scream is it's namesake, the main protagonist of Kentaro Miura's manga Berserk. Specifically, the recording is from the last moments of the 1997 anime adaptation of Berserk, where Guts screams in utter rage and horror.
