Legend's Meg Mucklebones

This is a prime example of why CGI is “NOT BETTER”.

[@paythefidler3252]

Absolutely

[@jesterokjones4954]

If it's done right, it's ok, but this is an unparalleled example of practical FX.

[@taterboob]

There’s plenty of bad practical too. I hate that blanket argument.

[@sherlockholmez8764]

You'll be even more surprised about the actor that played the character.

[@mrx4524]

Well said. It’s just amazing how the sets were also hand created and the makeup work is beyond phenomenal.

[@daTruChosen]

Beautiful practical effects. Ah, the childhood memories of Alien/Aliens, Clash of the Titans, The Thing, Empire Strikes Back, Krull, Labyrinth, etc. The late 70's and 1980's were AMAZING for cinema.

[@justaman-km1hl]

B. N. Willis The DARK CRYSTAL, THE REANIMATOR, Robinson's BAD TOOTH. Great stuff.

[@redmercury1159]

you said it! they definitely dont make movies like these anymore!

You had the Alien films in your childhood? That's badass dude.

[@artbytheanomaly6010]

Yes! Facts

[@metalinl-a1128]

Like music

[@Chrisiamtheluciddream]

How is it possible that movies from 30 years ago far exceed the new movies in both story and effects.

[@jmitterii2]

It doesn't rely on super phony cgi. But actual costume and animatronics.

[@marcovargas7942]

It does. Cgi sucks

[@GardragonVT]

Effective realism. It’s fine to have abit of cgi but making a great movie is about practical effects as well as costume, lighting, sound and so on.

[@amylfinnell]

The work these folks put i to these movies were so amazing!!!! Legend...Lambrinth...that is real one in one stuff. Maybe that is why Mr. Cruise still lives doing his own stunts to this day

[@marinasturgill4662]

Because more care and attention went into the making of the movie back then so the finished product looked more awesome to watch!

[@charlesshafer3072]

The craftsmanship that went into creating these characters, especially Meg, is freaking unreal.

[@thevillainy1783]

One of the greatest movies of all time. Flicks like this made my growing up the best ever. Meg traumatized me...and I loved it.

[@justinrusso7313]

Absolutely. This is still terrifying.

IIRC, Picardo supplied only the voice. The actress inside all of the prosthetics is Patricia Tallman, best known for playing Lyta Alexander in the series "Babylon 5."

[@redmercury1159]

Ah Legend. i really miss movies like that. they used to be made so well. and no CGI. people actually wore the costumes and used fake blood instead of special effects. today, movies wont even use fake blood. cutting corners makes movies suck. CGI should be saved for animated movies.

[@Chrisiamtheluciddream]

Exactly Mercury, I feel the exact same way. Movies from our youth just had better stories and looked better along with such better character development. Now they waste so much time on useless shit in movies just to make one group or another happy.

Robert Picardo - You know him as the EMH Doctor on Star Trek Voyager one of his first parts

Mucklebones gave me nightmares as a kid, one of the creepiest characters in cinema, great movie takes me back to the 90s

[@shaunpenne1840]

It was 1985 man!! But give me cinema from the 70's, 80's and 90's any day over modern movies!!!👍👍

[@Puppatoons]

Meg was so awesome. And those claws are some of the coolest things I've ever seen--they totally inspired a character of mine!

[@unsinnkim3690]

I was lucky enough to share a drink once with actor David Bennent (guy who plays Gump) who lives in the same city as I do (Berlin). I told him how this movie disturbed and fascinated me as a young child. And he asked me how old I was when I watched it on TV and I told him that I was 8 years old. And he answered quite gently and calmly: 'Oh, it is quite ok for an 8 year old to watch that sort of stuff.' OK I thought by myself and kept quiet for the rest of the evening.

[@tomtrinchera8405]

[@teddybetts3254]

Never in a million years would I have guessed that this was Robert Picardo.🤯

[@Some_Idiot_on_the_Internet]

Scariest thing about this scene is that somewhere in that swamp there are Magpies and poor Jack doesn’t seem to know the danger he’s in.

[@dotsonpaper]

You would never guess that's the Doctor from Star Trek Voyager.

[@NatashaFatale59]

ROFL!! "Foul tasting fairy!"

[@angryman1206]

You can't tell under all the makeup but the actor playing Meg is Robert Picardo, who would later go on to play the Emergency Medical Hologram from Star Trek Voyager.

[@BastardOfTheNorth]

Please State the nature of the medical emergency

So apparently this is Robert Picardo? O.o

[@spawnlordgaming7826]

Yeap :)

Yep

[@willemverheij3412]

1985 was a rough year for him I suppose. He does look much healthier by the time he appeared on Star Trek.

Pumpkinhead's sister

[@Jal8919536]

Didn't the make-up artist, Rob Bottin, also do the make-up in the horror film "Pumpkinhead"? Meg Mucklebones resembles that title character.

[@juliannapence9497]

I thought of pumpkinhead immediately too

[@shaunpenne1840]

Pumpkinhead was actually designed by Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr. who later went onto form STUDIO ADI who did the effects for Tremors and a plethora of classic monster movies, they were working on Aliens when this was released as they were part of Stan Winston's effects team!!! They almost had the chance to do the creature effects for I Am Legend when Ridley Scott was set to direct in the late 90's!!! Stan Winston Studio and Studio ADI both have KZbin Channels, both are worth checking out!! However, I feel that Rob Bottin should come out of retirement! If that's what he did in 1985, imagine what he could do now!!!

[@donraid8277]

Foul tasting fairy , come to meg juicy boy 🤣🤣

[@rellman85]

Grendel's mother, essentially.

[@alicegraham1571]

Good thing Lily was too smart for darkness. It's implied that Meg was a princess or beautiful maiden that allowed herself to be corrupted by darkness, before enduring such a ghastly fate and transformation.

[@annabelablue]

wiisalute. Me neither all that extra footage was cut out

[@MountTheodore72]

Several questions come to mind about Miss Mucklebones, like what does she do under water all day? Is there a house she lives in? How old is she? Who's her mother. And how was she still screaming after Jack cut off her head? I think she's able to put her on eventually tho.

[@AbrasiousProductions]

Who knows but judging by her reaction to Jack's flattery she was obviously unloved in life which was why she was so easily fooled and killed by him

[@yaffayafo82]

If you watch closely, after Jack swings his sword, her head is still intact, just bowed.
