The four stare at each other.

P

R

The Punning Man - Story of a person wrongfully accused of a horrible crime and must now use puns in a gauntlet of comedy to save his life.
 
S

"....... " (sequel to 1975 film: "Sssssss")

Ssssssss was not quite the zenith of 70s horror movies, where a man is inwittingly turned into a cobra...sort of. The sequel, 1979's "......." , was certainly the nadir. Donald Trump, needing cash to complete Trump Tower's construction, bought the rights to the property and micromanaged production.
Crew members insist it was his interference that caused the movie to be shipped to theaters without a sound track.
Unable to admit failure, or any error, Trump insisted this was the plan, it was just too avant garde for most cinema goers*. Plus, he didn't want to pay for a recall.
Two hours of poor lighting, harsh edits, and silence. Maybe tge only movie less-accessible than Night Of The Incubus (filmed entirely in Esperanto).
Turned a huge profit, though, at least in theaters owned by organized crime figures. Weird, that.

*Actual Quote: Okay, it's artsy. Maybe too artsy, i dunno, but people, lots of people, people come up to me and say it's artsy. Smart people. I hear, the word is, the people who don't like it probably don't go to museums much, anyway. So they don't art, you know?
 
T

A Dime to Kill - Story of economic hardships during the Great Depression for hitmen, who were so desperate for work, they'd kill people for prices so low, sometimes only for a dime. AC DC released a single to promote the film.

W

Because You're Wine

Opera singer Renato Rossano is drafted, but turns to alcohol after hearing the terrible sound of his sergeant's sister's voice. Last hour of the movie consists of Rossano slumped on the floor between his couch and a coffee table, staring at a magnum bottle of red wine while cooing "Why do I love thee?", then picking it up, taking a big slug and finishing the musical phase "Because you're wiiiiine!".
