Help me remember a movie i saw when i was a kid

[Danwar]

Hey guys,

Need a favour from my fellow AToters.

I remember that i liked a movie a lot when i was a kid , and now for the life of me i cant remember what it was called or what i was about. all i remember is a scene from it.

I couldnt have been older then 10 or 12 years old ( 1990 - 1992 ) so the movie had to have been made during or before the 80s.

The scene i remember is of an ambush in the Desert. I remember that there were a bunch of arabs all dressed in white (or black) marching in a column , and they were ambushed by other arabs dressed in the opposite color firing on them from the hills to either side of the column.

I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

been trying to remember for years....

anyone seen it?

(and no , its not Lawrence of Arabia)

The Beast?

EDIT: I guess it is called "The Beasts of War".

Although it was Soviets vs. Afghanis and the Afghanis were the good guys. They made us watch that like day 3 of infantry school. It sucked.

Are you sure it wasn't sand people attacking jawas?

 

[Nograts]

Indiana Jones maybe? Not many 80's movies with arabs in it that I know of...

 

[nakedfrog]

Enemy Mine?

 

[twinrider1]

I'm pretty sure it was Ishtar.

 

[zinfamous]

Top Gun

 

[zinfamous]

It's definitely Spies Like Us.

 

[Nograts]

It's definitely Spies Like Us.

You're thinking of Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Brangelina you stooge. That came out in the 90's not the 80's.

No, I'm obviously referring to Caddyshack.

 

[Mayne]

Okay, this is bugging me now.

 

[Drako]

Lawrence of Arabia

I know what you're thinking, but it isn't Starship Troopers.

Yeah, clearly Starship Troopers 3.

Ok, I have a movie I can't think of either:

It is some sort of 80s fantasy movie. Early in the movie the hero pulls some sort of chakram weapon with white teeth looking barbs around it that is kinda alive out of water. He meets a princess and then at the end of the movie confronts some awesome evil which is only beaten when the chakram sacrifices itself to grind at the villian.

Any clue what that is?

Looks promising , i saw some youtube videos of the film and it looks a lot like what i remember , but i could swear it wasnt the italian army but black robed arabs fighting against white robed ones.

 

[poofyhairguy]

Krull?

Thanks.

 

[waffleironhead]

The adventures of buckaroo banzai across the 8th dimension

 

[nakedfrog]

Thanks.

Just don't make the mistake of watching it now.

 

[DigDog]

from your description, it totally sounds like lawrence of arabia, of which there are multiple versions (try looking for "7 pillars of wisdom").
