This is odd, as I'm almost certain I saw this segment on...some show. I want to say it was Unsolved Mysteries now, but in retrospect maybe it was Dateline? It may be one of those "only aired once before it was pulled" situations...or in this case an "only aired once, before the sociopathic husband who killed her got butthurt" situations.

Will it be possible to use older versions of the browsers for it? Cause like I said, whole WEBSITES will cease to exist if not...I mean wow, that's kind of an apocalypse!

Is Flash going to like vanish entirely, as in cease to ever work again, or is it just no more support from the company? Because if it is going to cease ENTIRELY there are whole websites that basically will vanish in 2020...so yeah someone has got to start backing it up. If it's just that the company is going away, then maybe not so much of an issue. It'll be near impossible to maintain after a while bu they will still exist in some form to, I would imagine, be rediscovered.

Hey, so this is an OLD one because the first time I knew about it was literally a decade ago, but there is genuine evidence of this existing, it's even mentioned a couple of times on Tv Tropes and people have seen it so here it goes...
Basically, I hear tell of a movie from the early 80s, I believe 1981, an obscure kung fu movie called Day of the Tiger, the known plot elements of which I will recount to you know as someone I know recounted to me, verbatim:
(note this is from various posts on TV Tropes, so it sounds a bit rambling)
"Yo, I'm open_sketch. I replied to 18-Till-I-Die's (note; that's me) PM but I'll repost the important bits here. I saw it around 2005 a few times at the house of a friend from high school, Will Chen, whose dad had a huge collection of wierd, Anime Hell level clips and obscure movies on VHS (coincidently, he also introduced me to the awesome 80s anime I love so much) Day of the Tiger was a copy of a copy VHS, while the sequel was fairly official-looking but Chinese(?) in origin. I managed to find the sequel on the internet in torrent form in 2007, but when I tried to redownload it a year later there were no seeders, and the torrent is now gone entirely.
The other information I know about this movie (that it was banned, the year it and the sequel was made) are details from Will's dad himself.
If you go clip or gif hunting, here is some stuff to look for.
Terrible colour quality. Everything will be very yellow-saturated.
The protagonist's clothes get ripped up and stained almost immediately. If you see an asian guy with longish hair in black suit pants with knee rips and an open white dress shirt basically dyed red, maybe missing a sleeve, that's almost certainly him. He loses his tie within five minutes, and spends the last part of the movie without a shirt at all, but most of the gif worthy stuff is when he has some form of that on.
A ninja with no arms (clearly tucked inside his shirt) bleeding huge streams everywhere as he tries to kick off-camera. I have definately seen this gif around.
Ninja being swung against a pillar. Shot angle changes to show the protagonist holding the ninjas legs, with his top half completely gone. I've seen this on youtube.
Protagonist throws a Bruce Lee lookin' dude at another guy like a javelin. Shot cuts to show the impression of the guy's face sticking out of the target's back. There was a guy on the Penny Arade forums with this gif in his signature.
Scary looking huge guy firing bullets out of his mouth. Alternately, spitting out spent shells.
The first scene of this movie takes place in a 50s looking diner where the protagonist and his girlfriend are being served by a waiter in white (which obviously looks totally out of place) They talk for about five minutes before the windows burst in a hail of gunfire, the waiter explodes, and the protagonist, after briefly saying something to the girl, steps out through the window and blows up a guy's head by smacking him on his ears. Then the fighting begins. There are no opening credits whatsoever, at least in the version I've seen. If the very first shot you see is a crappy looking tin diner in an asian setting, you've probably found the movie.
I haven't seen Will in years, and I've only recent got onto Facebook so I haven't be able to find him. I'm trying to track him down though, but it isn't easy; he was only in my school two years and he left just before the Facebook craze really took off around here, so nobody I know has him either.
As for the sequel, I have no idea what it's called; it had no subtitles and the box was in a foreign language. Sorry I can't be more helpful. To be entirely honest, Day of the Tiger is just what I was told it was called, there are no opening credits on the first one and no subtitles on the second one; even the torrent's title wasn't in English. The words "Day of the Tiger" come up in the first movie though; it's apparently the mythical day that all the villains in the movie can/will work together or something like that, and it's used as justification for their rampage. At the very end, the hero claims that he is the mythical tiger or somesuch and the big bad gets a nice "oh crap!" moment right before his head gets twisted off like a bottle cap.
I'm almost certain it came out in 1981."
I've been told, some people see clips of it online and mistake them for scenes from The Story of Ricky, but it is not. Though, I am also told a sequel exists and is available from torrent sites, and frankly I'd love to see even THAT if it means finding out anything about Day of the Tiger. I'm posting this here, on Tip Of My Tongue, Lost Movies and any other reddits I can think of. I'm new to this but it's worked several times for me recently, and I've helped other folks find stuff just as obscure on TOMT so I hope someone---ANYONE---can help.
I'm obsessed with this, it's like my White Whale, and even if it turns out to be a white elephant I'd love to know. My OCD won't let me forget this till I find out, for certain, the truth. Gifs, images, a torrent, hell a SYNOPSIS or review would make my day!

Ok so, as someone who actually looks around for this stuff, I ran across a YT video where a guy describes a bizarre VHS tape he had of some kind of CGI cartoon from the 90's, and was looking for help with finding more info on it. To hear him tell it, this was called M3D Vol. 3 and was part of a larger series of some kind of English-dubbed Israeli computer animated cartoons featuring bizarre short stories or musical numbers. It was apparently released on VHS sometime in the 90's, and this guy, Vailskibum86, says he has the entire Vol. 3 video but has no idea where the rest of the series is.
And frankly, even if it IS a series, as apparently this was all part of some kind of line of CGI cartoons produced in Hebrew, apparently in Israel, and then dubbed to English. It was said to be sold at like Dollar Stores from what I recall, and had a compilation of something called "Computoons". These were it seems some kind of CGI cartoons from Israel but I have no idea how to even delve into that.
So both to expand on this and since the guy says he kinda hopes someone sees the video, I'm uploading it here, and perhaps others will know more about this M3D/Computoons series...Hell for all I know, it's a world-renown long-running series and I just having caught up to the rest class yet lol
Is there anything wrong about trying to debunk a false claim? Or wanting to see how OP would defend its validity?
Yes, when you're being an asshole about it
Lol I believe he somehow thinks he's being "edgy" or something because he watched too many I Hate Everything videos and was somehow convinced shrieking incoherently about how everyone else is "stupid" is a form of rebuttal.
But anywho, like I said if anyone has any possible info (besides hysterically ranting about how evilly stupid I am) feel free to drop it on me!

Ok so, I know this sounds like some kind of creepypasta and if ANYONE else had said this to me I'd dismiss it as such out of hand...but, heres the thing, this person who told me this ("Bae Bae" is her nickname) I would trust with MY LIFE! This is a person whom I have nothing but the utmost trust in and who has unwavering honesty and loyalty to me, as a friend and a family member. So when I describe this to you, understand, this HAPPENED this is REAL and it's likely just a creepy old movie but it may be a genuine snuff film she saw when she was young. So with that said, let's dive in...
The story starts in the early to mid 1970s, probably around 1975 she tells me but likely earlier, and around the fall or winter of that year and DEFINITELY in Detroit, MI because that is where she lived and was at the Fox Theater. Bae Bae says this because this was BEFORE she started driving and she remember theater in disrepair, and this may have around the time Enter the Dragon was released, she's not sure. It was DEFINITELY before 1976 because that is when she started driving so 1970-1975. She doesn't recall how she heard about it and believes it was mainly from some kind of rumor around town.
From what Bae Bae recalls it involved a teen girl at a fair, who met several people. Bae Bae tells me that they "walked up to her and started talking, like friendly" and that one may have been a woman. They looked a little older but may have been young too. Maybe twenties? She doesn't recall how the girl was captured but says she was taken to a room (she says she was taken to a small room, maybe a hotel room?) and then she was disemboweled...seriously. And the guy who did this had dark hair, "big crazy eyes" and a bear or some kind of facial hair. She was on a bed when he disemboweled her, and he held her intestines and lifted them up and started looking at them in his hands and howling or "making some kind of sound". The girl, the victim, was white and dark haired and wearing shorts, almost sure she was wearing shorts Bae Bae tells me, and she was a teenager. Bae Bae also deeply recalls that this girl "walked or crawled on something elevated" maybe a fence or something? And that she may have been on all fours, she's kinda sure on that. And she may have been straddling something? She says while this girl was crawling or whatever, several people male and female talked to her, then she was killed. She said that either "this guy was Marlon Brando" or this was real.
Now here is where it gets creepy...er...creepier. Bae Bae tells me that "some guy" took a seat behind her in the theater and this guy was the only one there. She says and I quote "I heard a sound and saw a silver-colored switch blade opening. This guy had on black gloves with the fingers cut out, and had white skin or white hands, and was likely a white guy" (this is mind you in Detroit so this kinda stood out) she goes on to say "He was average sized, he wasn't John Cena or nothin', and had on dark clothes. No mask or hood but he had on a t-shirt or something like that". And when she saw this she was terrified and ran out, even leaving one of her gloves behind. She never saw this movie again and has never heard or seen anything of it since. Again this was also likely in the fall or winter since Bae Bae says she was wearing a coat and gloves and the guy was too.
Now let me be clear...I trust this woman with my life, I believe every word of this and as insane as this sounds and creepy as this is, I have no doubt in my mind every word is true. Now, the likely scenario from MY point of view, is that she saw some creepy torture porn movie or horror film, a guy tried to rob her and she got weirded out and ran...HOWEVER she emphasizes to me that the blood and gore effects were far, far too real and the "acting" to precise to be just a normal movie and since she never seen it again (and we BOTH watch horror movies like a religion) this strikes me as odd since you'd think we'd have happened across it? Idk, but I believe this story and believe this movie exists, so if ANYONE has any idea what movie this is or what it may be, please throw me some info. This is literally all she remembers I practically interrogated her to make as concise a description as possible. But yes, I believe every word she tells me, and I believe this was either a very real movie or some kind of weird, "Unfriended: Dark Web" style circle jerk of serial killers she wandered into by mistake in the 1970s...likely just a movie but who knows.
Thanks in advance for ANY help guys! I hope to get some answers!

Quick question, was this show live action? Like people in animal outfits? Cause it frankly sounds like Dumbo's Circus, here's the end credits I found on YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=daf5cWsS3bQ

This is something that has stuck with me for years. If I'm right this was either slightly before 2000 or literally at that era, I have a feeling 1998 to 2002 is the basic time frame.
I'm pulling my memories back now but one I distinctly recall on VH1 was a special about mysteries and bizarre occurrences in the music industry, things like the Tupac/Biggie conspiracies and such. The whole thing was shot in weird filters and had this woman wearing a trench coat and walking in a GRAVE YARD and like a forest, and she would 'disappear' or something with bad special effects.
They discussed things like I believe a rumor that Curt Cobain was somehow at a concert after he killed himself, and I believe mention was made of a band whose identities were never known who preformed at some big venue then disappeared, the band-equivalent of Ready N' Steady basically. Hell maybe that was on the list! I think they went into various strange deaths or suicides too.
I know this sounds like the Crackmaster of VH1 but I would bet my life on it being real. If not VH1, MTV then. One or the other, but I have a feeling it was the former for some reason. It was basically a whole special about unsolved murders and bizarre ghostly concerts. Wish I could find it now.
I DID however find VH1 Confidential ad while dangerously close, I distinctly recall the person walking around in black and white or greyscale out in a graveyard...and not vaguely like that memory is pretty clear. I'm almost sure it's not VH1 Confidential, but wow is that close, so I'm certain now it DOES exist and I didn't just dream it up.

Are you sure they were ghosts? I'm aware of a show, but it's definitely from the 90's, and definitely not about ghosts, but after like sixteen years I can see how one may mistake it for another year and ghosts.
You've posted this same exact message 3 times on the LMW forums and at least 3 times to the lost films subreddit (last one seemingly deleted). I get that this is important to you, but please don't try to force interest to the point of spamming. If any of us could help you we would have already done it. Most of Hammerman in general is lost, so it'd be better to prioritize trying to find the whole series (which, naturally, would include this particular episode along with it), or at least just trying to find whatever we can.
Oh no, my mistake really, I never thought of it as "spamming" I just figured it would kind of fall behind and i needed to move back up. Really, my mistake! This happened a couple of times where I posted something on TOMT and it would go up a second time or third time and then *bang* get answered, and so I just kind of assumed it was possible or necessary sometimes to repost stuff but if its more like spamming or considered such I'll lay off, I will. Again that's my mistake, I just kind of didn't get it. But I'll lay off from now on with this one. Again, my bad, I didn't mean to spam a lot.
There was a specific episode of this show which has been digging at the back of my mind for twenty-five years. I literally can recount the plot of the episode, but I don't know the title nor do I know if it's possible to find it online. So here we go...
The episode took into account the old legend of the Hammerman, that the character Gramps, an old black dude in a toupee who is kind of a James Brown ripoff, was once Hammerman back in the 1960s. Then he grew too old to be the Hammerman and had to give up the shoes. The intro explains this. However this episode adds something to it.
Apparently there was this evil other musician, apparently a ripoff of Mick Jagger, who dressed in a purple vest and jeans and a bandanna (I believe red) and had a red guitar if I recall. His thing was his music could kill people, "destroy" they said if I recall. In fact he could summon a big red FACE THING, I have no other way to describe it. It was red, with fangs and yellow eyes and he could summon it and it would fly at the screen chomping.
(Oh yeah, the Face Thing may have also been on the back of his vest, like a symbol I distinctly recall that for some reason so I suspect it may have come from his vest somehow)
SOMEHOW, don't ask me how, Gramps said he used his evil music against him to "destroy" him with this Face Thing. Then, decades later, he returns somehow, again I have no idea. And he threatens to destroy the city. Apparently he proves too powerful for either Gramps or Stanley to defeat.
Stanley and Gramps have to work together to stop him, passing the shoes back and forth to overpower him and eventually he is killed ("destroyed") by the Face Thing again. If memory serves it may have had some cockamamie moral, I have no idea what after all these years but if asked to take a guess, for some reason, the theme of discrimination and bigotry was heavy. It is possible that the Face Thing and his "evil music" was the result of him being a bigot or something. For some reason that has stood out to me as a theory for so long.
And that's all I got, thanks in advance to literally help, this has been beating at the back of my mind for over twenty years! Any help would be massively appreciated!
