What are your missing Holy Grails of lost stuff?

[sasazuka]

My most wanted Hot Wheels stuff that I had as a kid:
- The Sto-and-Go Service Centre
- Criss Cross Crash playset (the original figure 8 one)
- Those modular City USA sets
- Pretty much any Steering Rig with my number one most wanted being the Peterbilt Shell tanker truck
- The first release from 1984 of the Volkswagen Baja Bug in yellow with Real Riders tires

EDIT: Slightly misunderstood the point of the thread, I know exactly what I'm looking for but I haven't found any of this stuff in good condition from flea markets or thrift stores and it's all too expensive on eBay.

I always wanted to know the origin of this video. Anyone here knowledgeable enough in weeb stuff has any clue?

I don't know it but I Googled "Tsuyoshi Juni Gakubou" and found this page.

"Joshi Juni Gakubou" is the 12 Women Band of Japanese (女子十二乐坊). This band is so popular in Japanese. When you search at youtube, you'll probably get another funny version starring "Tsuyoshi Kusanagi" that plays the roles of the 12 Women. Simply saying, this funny video is the spoof clone version of the real Joshi Juni Gakubou 12 Women Band.

Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is one of the member of SMAP which is a famous band of 5 singers. Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is also famous as actor. His serial dramas that I like best is "Love with Super Star" (愛上大明星), together with Norika Fujiwara (藤原紀香) and "Food Fight" (フードファイト Fūdo Faito) together with Kyoko Fukada (深田恭子).

Here's the video of the original group.

Spoiler: Joshi Juni Gakubou

3 - Old late 80s / 90s martial arts flick. Young guy who MIGHT be French moves to a barrio. Mexicans everywhere and other people dealing with a nasty mexican street gang. Eventually it ends up just being him and an old war veteran I believe in a wheelchair with the veteran armed with an old shotgun as the gang members surround the house to get them. I would swear the old man in the wheelchair was a famous character actor but I haven't been able to find any proof the movie existed.

That's definitely Angel Town. I mean, there could be some other movie where a French martial artist moves to the barrio and teams up with a crippled veteran to fight a gang, but I really doubt it. It was actually really easy to find, I just Googled "90s mexican gang martial arts movie".

Some PC action RPG from the early 2000s. I can't even remember the name of it, it played like Diablo but set in a sort of Feudalist Japan/Wuxia Chinese style. Have a lot of good memories bonding with my little brother during that time playing it and it being the first PC game I introduced him to that he really got into.

Might've been Blade & Sword.

2 - Looking for an old 80s / 90s movie where a guy I believe is going to get married soon or something, and goes to an expensive car dealership to buy a really expensive car, like a Lambo or something. Some short haired blond chick works at the dealer and takes a liking to him and antics ensue. Somewhere in the movie is a scene where the guy is at a mexican food stand and orders burritos or some such. After eating he asks how much he owes by saying, "What's the damaged?" The mexican guy answers, "Your colon." ... I want to see that again.

According to this thread at TigerDroppings.com where someone else was searching for what seems to be the same movie, the answer is probably It Takes Two (198 <-(Nineteen Eighty Eight, I forgot about the sunglasses Chris emoji and this board won't let me edit links). I don't remember that movie myself.

I remember watching some stop-motion animated short about 4 (or 5) aliens in space living together, and the episode was about what to do when someone knocks over your glass of milk (or something else?)
I watched it on a VHS tape many years ago and I don't know if I still have it

Was it Plasmo?

Mine is an Australian cartoon. Its about this blonde guy that has a pet magpie, it's similar to pirates of dark water but I think it's set in colonial Australia.

That's it! thank you!

Cartoon Network had a shit ton of these really weird, somewhat creepy flash animations that just kinda disappeared after the site retooled itself. I think no one was really using the site in the late 90s early 2000s because a lot of these were somewhat off-putting.

I managed to find a couple; the one I found easily were the Wendell and Wuggums shorts, probably because there was actually a little series, and I remember finding one about some air club before losing it again. I also found an animated music video for Sugar Ray's When It's Over. Everything else though is just gone. I remember one that was like a casting director where the director kept rejecting every pitch until the end revealed that it was Fred Flintstone and another one where a bunch of bikers beat the shit out of these cute bunnies.

Here are a couple of the Wendell and Wuggums shorts in the vain hope they jog someone's memory.

The Morrowind mods that were lost to the Gamespy closure. At least Fliggerty backed a majority of them up.

It would be amazing to find the full, original cut of The Wicker Man (70's version, not the Cage version). There are several cuts in existance but the original copy of the film containing all of the original footage was lost and the surviving copies of the film are missing some scenes that had been cut for the initial theatrical run. There were major issues trying to get the movie released in the first place and it was a full-on battle that Christopher Lee himself was trying to fight. He has commented a few times that he's pretty sure the original footage was "lost" on purpose.

I have several:

- The Adventures of Pete & Pete, the 90s Nickelodeon show. Some of it got released on DVD years back but (iirc) the episodes were somewhat butchered and the series were stupid expensive. Naturally they also got printed in very limited amounts because they're difficult to find now, and I'd feel like a sucker for paying what I'm sure are exorbitant prices for them anyway.

- I bounced for a bar in North Florida for a while and several times they had a live jazz fusion band called Beam (or Beamtrain) as an act. They played this 7-8 minute song called Celestial Crowbar that blew my fucking mind every time I heard it. It never got recorded in a studio or released in any other form to my knowledge. Goddamn I miss that song.

- this one some kiwi may be able to help with. Back in the early days of 4chan memeing I came across an image that I'd love to have but haven't been able to find. It was a photo manip of two women in somewhat revealing maid cosplay. One was hugging/restraining the other, and the one being restrained had sunken, black, sharklike eyes and jagged teeth to match.

I can see why @Wraith remembers this scene so well @22m

 

[Sun Shihong]

This game, Hero: Fighter's club. Korean gaming from the time where playing it required actual player skills and not just your wallet to win everything. Lost to the annals of history because the developers did not give a shit to this game.

This game was made by the same devs of Grand Chase, and their games don't last more than six months if they don't put Grand Chase references on them.

I had an uncensored copy of "The Black Smurfs" at my grandparents' home, that mysteriously dissapeared with a bunch of other stuff. I still don't know if it's very well hidden somewhere, or someone burned it.

That one doesn`t have carnage or anything but I like how that comic is essentially a Smurf zombie movie in terms of Smurfs infected with the biting virus losing their identities and becoming solely focused on infecting as many other Smurfs as possible.

The original eight hour long cut of Erich von Stroheim's Greed.

Out-STANDING! My Google-fu is weak. Thank you a hell of a lot. I tried searching for them through other means for years, and damn, damn good job guys. Thanks.

This film where some explorers find this lost Viking land.

 

[bothiggedyhog]

A shit tonne of old underwear and clothes that have fallen behind my old houses water heater. cat got lost down there too once, had to call someone.
Lost the name of the song ignition (remix) for a few months, got it back yesterday
And theres one constant, a PS1 game involving aliens in some capacity, maybe from the alien franchise although I haven't found it in my searches, I watched someone play it as a child and it formed a core memory that haunts me to this day. It was a shooter, it looked gritty and blue washed, there were aliens probably
edit: nvm im retarded it was literally Alien Trilogy for the PS1

The maxivision infomerical. Joel from Vinesauce did a stream on it. The whole 30 minute infomerical used to be on youtube. Sometime after Joel's stream goes up, the video is taken down. There's partial copies of the infomerical on YT, but not the full one. The only copy still up is what Joel showed, which was the whole thing. But it has his commentary over most of it.

There used to be Joel stream on some mario 3 nazi hack. Got taken down due to youtube being youtube.

The Doc and Mharti video. It used to be on youtube for a long ass time. Then after Rick and Morty got popular, youtube took it down. Since, you know, Mharti is blowing Doc with a fully drawn dick and balls on screen. Its still online, but the original quality is reduced. Someone probably archived in its original quality.

There's this one flash game I played a long ass time ago. It was like Jetpack meets a metroidvania. I don't think it had RPG elements. It was basically Solar Jetpack but on Mars or some red planet. Still don't know what game it was.

The April 20th, 1991 episode of Saturday Night Live with Steven Seagal as host. It was reportedly so cringey and unfunny that it has been scrubbed from SNL history.

I've got a copy of that. It's a pretty bad episode.
