Dino Drac After Dark

The Making of Batman Returns!

Here’s The Bat, the Cat and the Penguin, a 1992 “making of” documentary for Batman Returns. Love this behind-the-scenes junk!

I still think that Batman Returns is the best “Batman thing” ever, by the way.

Happy Friday!

The Secret of the Sword!

From 1985, The Secret of the Sword was He-Man’s first and only animated movie. Though it was briefly in theaters, the movie was more widely seen on regular television. (As a kid, I don’t know if I was even aware that SoTS had a theatrical release!)

The movie introduced She-Ra and Hordak, and is probably most famous for the bitchin’ song that plays over the intro. Enjoy!

Pryde of the X-Men!

While produced as a TV pilot, I originally knew Pryde of the X-Men as a random videocassette from our town’s last mom & pop video store. I fell in love with it!

Released in 1989, it’s something like 1992’s X-Men: The Animated Series, but definitely not an exact match. A great little ep that’s totally worth seeing, even if only for historical purposes. Enjoy!

The Making of Dick Tracy!

I love those old “Making Of” TV specials, which were essentially just paid advertisements for upcoming movies, but still so incredibly interesting. I’ll watch ’em even if they’re for films that I have zero interest in, but when we’re dealing with something like Dick Tracy? Oh, count me the hell in.

It’s from 1990.

In other news, I’ve noticed that many of the videos featured on Dino Drac After Dark — including yesterday’s — have already been pulled from YouTube. Hey, you gotta be fast if you wanna keep up with DDAD! (As you’ve probably guessed, none of the videos featured here are my uploads. I just keep digging until I find something interesting, and then hope it stays up for longer than six hours!)
