Octopus Overlords

47 Ronin



A band of samurai set out to avenge the death and dishonor of their master at the hands of a ruthless lord, who is abetted by a Kitsune that can shape-shift into a dragon.

Dammit. I have a great answer but I can't make it work.

OK, how about Victor Victoria? Julie Andrews plays a woman pretending to be a drag queen performer, and the employer/employee relationship is between Victoria and her gay friend Toddy who comes up with the scheme to do this and acts as her manager. His manager. Whatever.

The Birdcage
This scene should seal it.

I'll try to refrain from entering.

Appreciate it. It really messes with the entrants.

Some Like It Hot: The protagonists' employer-employee relationship with the Mob is a running theme throughout, and the motivating factor for their career in drag.

Tootsie & Moliere it is.

Meh, might as well recycle this one. I'm not going to find a better fit.

Gung Ho

The local auto plant in fictional Hadleyville, Pennsylvania, which supplied most of the town's jobs, has been closed for nine months. The former foreman Hunt Stevenson (Michael Keaton) goes to Tokyo to try to convince the Assan Motors Corporation to reopen the plant. The Japanese company agrees and, upon their arrival in the U.S., they take advantage of the desperate work force to institute many changes.

Since I have no idea what a "Hypdermic" needle is, I will go with Maleficent.

Cheater. Nonetheless, my entry remains as is. No takesy backsies.

Reversal of Fortune - in which Claus Von Bulow may or may not have attempted to murder his wife Sunny via an insulin overdose, leaving her in a coma.

The Aristocats.

Cronenberg's Rabid. in which a comatose Marilyn Chambers develops a taste for human blood after undergoing experimental plastic surgery (resulting in a disturbing mutation: a bizarre syringe-like appendage that emerges from her armpit, which she uses to siphon blood and spread the disease). Also, a drunken farmer attempts to rape her in a nearby barn -- where there are plenty of haystacks -- becoming one of the first victims.

Trainspotting.

People nod off on Heroin all the time......
