This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

80s films!
When my family got our first VCR in the late 1980s, I quickly discovered the joys of watching my favorite videotapes over and over and over again. I eventually connected the VCR to the stereo and recorded said films onto audiocassettes as well, and would listen to them when the TV wasn't available.

And that is why, all these years later, I can still recite all three Back to the Future films, The Goonies, and an edited-for-broadcast-TV version of Weird Science, scene-by-scene, entirely from memory.

Sometimes on long commutes or other occasions which leave me nothing to do for hours, I still close my eyes and re-experience a movie in my head. Try charging me for that, MPAA.

I was going to say when you played Goonies with your friends you were definitely Chunk.
But on second thoughts, and on the basis of that story you probably didn't have friends.

Actually
I was Mikey, because of the asthma.

It was years before I saw the non-cut Weird Science
That bit at the start when Gary's "shaving", and he goes "Chet? I can't believe it, you know how I feel about this guy!" etc. I was amazed to see it one time and hear him go "Chet? OH SHIT!"

Likewise.
My censored version contained badly-dubbed soundalikes saying less-sweary things, so it was "Chet? Oh NO!"

Like when ITV showed films
Robocop changed the guy robbing the gas station and shouting "Fuck! Me! Fuck! Me!" to "Why me? Why me?" Pisspoor effort.

I once called the old man an air head.

That was the guy robbing the drugstore, not the guy robbing the gas station

the best one I remember
is predator - when the big dude says "what the fuck"

They changed it to "what the fish"

they couldn't dub out his lips mouthing the word fuck though.

Another from "Weird Science"
"She kicked him in the guts and called him a braggart in front of everyone."
